Warnes was asked to join the cast of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour as the only featured vocalist on the show. CD promo single.
Now she was on national talk shows, singing her stage hits “Easy To Be Hard” and “Let The Sunshine In.”
Next came national tours in the U.S., and another album deal, this one with Reprise Records.
As well as her own major hits, she’s a much in-demand vocal collaborator, having recorded and performed with everyone from Joe Cocker to Bill Medley to Bob Dylan, and of course, Leonard Cohen.
Warnes was born in Seattle, Washington, but soon moved with her family to Anaheim, California.
Warnes and bassist/Cohen bandleader Roscoe Beck started considering an album of broader interpretations of Cohen’s songs, but first Warnes had few more hits of her own to make.
She was asked to perform the theme song for the 1979 movie Norma Rae, a box office hit starring Sally Field. At the same time, she started performing in the burgeoning area folk scene in a duo with guitar player Doug Rowell, alongside friends and future stars such as Jackson Browne, Jose Feliciano, The Association and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
That same year she accepted an offer to tour Europe with Leonard Cohen, whose work she had long admired. CD remix single.

Simply Meant To Be
LETRA
Simply Meant To Be
Jennifer Warnes & Gary Morris
Well I never knew so much trouble til I met you
Never sang in so much rain
But whenever I drown in your sweet dreams
It always brings me pain
Though I come back
Knowing that I’ll find love again
Mmm, I must be blind to love you, girl, but I don’t wanna see
If seeing means believing love is lost to you and me
Don’t ever let them tell you that there’s no mystery
Love can’t be explained, it’s simply meant to be
Well I never knew so many people
Who look and don’t find love
So they beg and they borrow and steal
I’ll take half of the joy, twice the sorrow
If I know love is real
Just don’t say that you won’t be back
Cos I know you will, I know you will
I must be blind to love you but I don’t wanna see
If seeing means believing love is lost to you and me
Don’t ever let them tell you that there’s no mystery
Love can’t be explained, it’s simply meant to be
Oh, this love is a mystery
Love is a mystery
Can’t explain, can’t change
I guess it was meant to be
Ooh, I must be blind to love you but I don’t wanna see
If seeing means believing love is lost to you and me
Don’t ever let them tell you that there’s no mystery
Love can’t be explained, it’s simply meant to be
Oh, I must be blind to love you but I don’t wanna see
If seeing means believing love is lost to you and me
Don’t ever let them tell you that there’s no mystery
Love can’t be explained, it’s simply meant to be

ComentarWith multiple awards and chart-topping hits around the world, Jennifer Warnes is one of the beloved vocalists of our time.
In her teens she starred in light opera and professional theatre productions around Southern California. The song, “It Goes Like It Goes,” won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, and Warnes now had a career in cinema.
In 1982 she was asked to perform the theme song for An Officer and a Gentleman, and she suggested a duet partner, Joe Cocker.
Her 1979 album Shot Through The Heart saw her producing herself for the first time, and another big hit, “I Know A Heartache When I See One.” Once again, it hit the Top 20 in pop, country and adult contemporary.
Warnes had kept singing with Leonard Cohen, and once again accepted his invitation to tour with him on 1979’s Field Commander Cohen tour and his album Recent Songs.
