Len Leeds, the well known attorney and renowned crooning sensation, will be performing live, opening for well known singer Tony Orlando on Sunday October 8th at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts as a benefit for breast cancer awareness month.
Len has become one of the areas most vocal supporters for increasing breast cancer awareness.

Proceeds from the sale of his album will go to several of the leading organizations working to stop this terrible disease, including Cancer Care, Family Service League, 1 in 9, The American Cancer Society and The Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program.

ABOUT LEN LEEDS
http://www.lenleeds.com
========================
Len Leeds is one of the most highly-regarded and successful employment attorneys in the New York metropolitan area, a man who has spent his career passionately defending the dreams of others; he was the attorney who initiated the Anna Nicole Smith lawsuit for example. Though decades before he got involved in helping others realize their dreams, he realized he had a dream and passion of his own…to perform. Perhaps it was during his childhood when he used to accompany the jukeboxes in his parent’s hotel. Or maybe it was years later when friends and family saw that his presence behind a microphone was every bit as commanding as his presence in court.
As a founder and senior partner at Leeds Morelli & Brown, Len specializes in cases involving workplace discrimination, civil rights, sexual harassment, and unfair dismissals. He has made a career out of breaking new ground, out of showing what happens when a person pushes the envelope. Len’s debut album, “Love Will See Us Through” is the result of the same passion and drive that is Len’s signature style, and has won him many a groundbreaking civil rights case. It is the realization of a dream that has been carefully nurtured for years and as you’re bound to hear, this is one dream that is even more impressive as reality. What comes through over the stellar orchestrations is Len’s voice—both literally and figuratively. But that will become clear from the first bar as you hear Len wrap his impressive vocals around classic standards, lending them a whole new persona. Observe how his vocal “instrument” effortlessly mingles with, yet never overpowers—the lush arrangements. And witness (no pun intended) how Len¹s elocutionary training —so vital to his success in the courtroom – has given him a special appreciation for a lyric–and the ability to project that appreciation. It’s this kind of talent that is usually used in describing Sinatra, Streisand, and too few others..the ability to revel in the synergy of words and music the “soul” of a song. Len recently met with composer/lyricist Ervin Drake (vice chairman of the Songwriters Hall Of Fame who wrote among many other standards “It Was a Very Good Year” recorded by Frank Sinatra) and the two will be collaborating on some songs together, most specifically a new tune Ervin wrote called “Liberal”. Len’s musical career is certainly gaining steam; so far 2006 has seen him opening for the likes of Marilyn Michaels, Darlene Love, Leslie Uggams and doing a special showcase at Don’t Tell Mama’s in NYC. This Fall he will be performing with Tony Orlando in October and with another “very well known” singer for a special benefit for St Mary’s Hospital in December, both at Tilles Center at CW Post.
Len has also joined the honorary advisory board of the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program, located at Adelphi University, in Garden City, New York. In addition to his duties as an advisory board member, Mr. Leeds has recently written a song “Love Will See Us Through” specifically dedicated to the cause; the song has also been adopted as a theme song for Cancer Care and many other Breast Cancer awareness groups across the US. “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 several of the leading organizations working to stop this terrible disease, including Family Service League, 1 in 9, and The American Cancer Society.
His is a voice that most definitely deserves a hearing. Whether you know him as counsel or a crooner, Len proves beyond a reasonable doubt that when it comes to delivering a total and truly passionate performance, he is guilty as charged.
