BIOGRAPHY:
(http://www.leonpatillo.org/discography.html)
Leon Patillo, the former Lead singer of Santana, sold out his life to Jesus Christ and has been using his musical gifts to minister to hundreds of thousands of believers and non-believers alike for 25 years. Most Christians of a certain age group have seen him live and know many of his hits. For those fans, and for the people who discover Leon’s singing and speaking ministry for the first time,Leon Patillo is back with two exciting new projects!Live Experience 2005 transforms your daily routine into a celebration of Gods Presence. Breathe On Me is the culmination of three years spent in prayer and production on this exciting new worship album recorded with the intention of pulling down strongholds,Christian singer, songwriter, and keyboardist Leon Patillo got his start in the professional music business when he fronted a band called Creation in the San Francisco area in the late '60s and early '70s. The band, which eventually became known as Leon's Creation, was a multi-racial funk-pop outfit somewhat in the Sly & the Family Stone mold, and featured Patillo on keyboards, Jimmy Calhoun on bass, Barry Frost on percussion, Billy Gerst on trumpet, Lenny Goldsmith on additional keyboards, Gerry Peterson on reeds, Carol Stallings on Violin, and Orlando Stallings on guitar. Leon's Creation released a trio of independent LPs and was signed at one point to Atlantic Records. Patillo joined Santana in 1973, and his vocals and piano work were featured on 1974's Borboletta album and the live Festival, which was released in 1976. Patillo toured with the band until 1979, when he left Santana for a solo career, signing with Word Records. Meshing dance, R&B, soul, and gospel into an influential contemporary Christian music context, Patillo released several albums on Word, including Don't Give In (1981), I'll Never Stop Lovin' You (1982), Live Experience (1983)The Sky's the Limit (1984), and A Funny Thing Happened (1986). He also hosted a television show, Leon and Friends, which ran on TBN. Since 1999 he has been performing worldwide as part of the Get Motivated conferences, and has worked to develop his own ministry. He formed his own record label, Positive Pop, and released two new albums in 2005, Breathe on Me and Live Experience 2, which was recorded at Crossroads Community Church in Las Vegas, NV. Aside from his solo records and his work with Santana, Patillo has also worked with Funkadelic and Martha Reeves & the Vandellas. An ordained Christian minister, he continues to explore avenues that bring music and the Christian experience together.
REVIEWS FOR THE AALBUMS:
Leon Patillo delivers his signature energetic praise and worship on this live set. The audience is excited and singing along. Some of the songs where new to me but I quickly got it to them. My favorites of the new ones were "On The Way up" And "Calling Love" And "Pulling Down Strongholds". Any fan of Leon Patillo or good contemporary gospel will love this cd. I enjoyed the classics as well ("J.E.S.U.S.")And The Sky Is The limit". ("On The Way Up").Another self-penned, performed and produced album from the multi-talented Mr Patillo. Apart from a saxophone and some Backing Vocals, everything is played, sung or programmed by the man himself. That kind of brief immediately places restrictions on the album's scope; as one would expect, it is keyboard-based, with sequenced bass-lines and drum computers to the fore, the resulting mix providing the backdrop for the Patillo Vocal Chords. The album includes up-tempo dance-workout, like the title track and "Rock House", where the lyrics are kept simple and the beat allowed to dominate; ballads like "Bye Bye For Now", for friends left behind when circumstance dictates a separation; and in "Take Time And Rest" the singer hands out some sound advice to a workaholic friend who's neglecting his family to chase success. Patillo has a reputation for being able to write a love song from a Christian perspective - remember "Flesh Of My Flesh"? - and on this album we have "I Will Hold On For You". The song, written from the point of view of a Christian lover to his loved one, examines honestly the difficulties involved in waiting for God's timing in a relationship, rather than rushing ahead and missing God's best. Without wishing to criticise the man's chosen method of working, I did feel the album lacked a certain spark and spontaneity that could have come from interaction with other musicians. Or maybe he just needs somebody else to produce him(http://www.holymetalrob.com/)
