Len Leeds with Neil Sedaka at The Tilles Center

Len Leeds with Neil Sedaka at The Tilles Center in a benefit for St Mary’s Healthcare System for Children
 
Garden City, NY (October 30th 2006) Len Leeds, the well known attorney and renowned crooning sensation, will be performing live, opening for legendary singer and recent Long Island Music Hall Of Fame inductee Neil Sedaka (“Breaking Up Is Hard to Do”, “Calendar Girl”) on Saturday December 2nd at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts as a benefit for St Mary’s Healthcare System for Children.

Len has become one of the areas most vocal supporters of those in need, especially helping with healthcare systems for children and in increasing breast cancer awareness; just last month he performed with Tony Orlando where they tied a huge pink ribbon around the Tilles Center – a play on Tony’s big hit, “Tie a Yellow Ribbon..” – for this special event in honor of breast cancer awareness. His debut album’s lead single, called “Love Will See Us Through” (which has lyrics written by Len and music written by Fran Roach) was inspired by a former client stricken with breast cancer. Proceeds from the sale of his album will go to CancerCare, Inc.

ABOUT LEN LEEDS
http://www.lenleeds.com

As one of the top civil rights attorneys in the country, Len Leeds is blazing a new trail for himself, moving from the legal arena of litigating lawsuits during the day to performing on the show business stage at night.  Len Leeds has dedicated his career to passionately defending the hopes and dreams of others. As a founder and senior partner of the law firm of Leeds Morelli & Brown, Len specializes in workplace discrimination, unfair work dismissals, civil rights and sexual harassment.  Len Leeds is a philanthropist donating his time, talents and money to cancer awareness and children’s rights.   

Along the way, Len realized he had a dream and passion of his own — to perform as a singer. Perhaps it began during childhood, when he loved to sing along to hit tunes on the radio, or years later when friends and family recognized that his presence at a microphone was every bit as commanding as his presence in a court of law. His latest music CD, “Love Will See Us Through”, is a vibrant testament to the passion and drive that are Len Leeds’ signature style in all he does. Some time ago he represented a client who had been diagnosed with cancer. Len was moved by his client’s will to make it and her belief that through devotion, love and prayer she would survive. Len became driven to make a difference for cancer awareness through music. The idea came like a bolt of lightning, and he wrote the lyrics to “Love Will See Us Through” which is a national song for CancerCare, Inc.  Performing with legendary entertainers such as Tony Orlando, Dionne Warwick, Tony Bennett and Leslie Uggams Len Leeds is proving that you’re never too old to follow your dreams and pursue your passion.
