Warren Wiebe
Warren Ray Wiebe (July 18, 1953 – October 25, 1998) was an American vocalist and session musician best known for his work with David Foster, Jay Graydon, Celine Dion, Quincy Jones, his recordings on soundtracks and his performances of the national anthem before Los Angeles Kings games.
Warren Wiebe was born in San Diego, California, on July 18, 1953, to Ruby and Abraham Wiebe. He attended Crawford High School, during which time he formed his own band, calling it Mankind. He sang and played bass.
In 1980, Wiebe got his first break when Bobbie Gentry invited him to Las Vegas to sing in her band.
Wiebe contributed bass and vocals to several San Diego area bands and performed five nights a week in venues such as The Wranglers Roost and with Bud Martin & Sound Advice at The Abeline, one of the showroom venues at the Town & Country Hotel in Hotel Circle, and participated in the San Diego Jazz Party.
Wiebe was discovered by David Foster and Burt Bacharach in Los Angeles in 1987. He was one of the lead vocalists contributing to the 1991 charity record "Voices That Care". Wiebe was introduced by David Foster as "his hot new discovery" at Foster’s benefit concert at Victoria General Hospital, where he performed “America The Beautiful” and was described by Adrian Chamberlain for the Times Colonist as having "a finely controlled, versatile voice tinged with soul inflections". In 1991, "If Not for Love" (written by Foster & Linda Thompson) was part of the One Good Cop soundtrack that featured Michael Keaton and Rene Russo.
Wiebe sang the duet "Listen to Me" with Celine Dion for the Listen to Me soundtrack.He performed “Safe Back In Your Arms” written by Darin Scheff, Tony Smith and Roxanne Seeman, appearing over the end-credits of the 1991 thriller Under Crystal Lake. Warren performed "Goodbye" as part of the television soundtrack One Life to Live: The Best of Love in 1994.
Wiebe performed the song "Human Touch", a ballad which was used as one of the ending theme songs for the 1996 anime After War Gundam X. The song was one of a very small number of anime theme songs that not only was performed with English lyrics but was composed by non-Japanese songwriters. An avid ice hockey fan, he was also known for his stirring performances of the US and Canadian national anthems and "America the Beautiful" before Los Angeles Kings games, especially during the time Wayne Gretzky played there.
He sang many demos for David Foster including "When I Fall in Love" for the film Sleepless in Seattle and when Celine Dion heard his singing she wanted him instead of Clive Griffin to sing on the track. In addition, he sang on the All-4-One hit "I Swear" and did backing vocals for many artists. He was also featured on Foster's 1990 release River of Love; his vocals were on the title track "River of Love", "Walk Away", "Is There a Chance", "Living for the Moment", "This Must Be Love" and his 1994 subsequent release Love Lights the World performing vocals on the track "Is There a Chance".
