Falling

(Lenny LeBlanc/Eddie Struzick)

This ballad was written by Lenny LeBlanc and Eddie Struzick and recorded by Lenny and the singer and producer Pete Carr.

The duo was known as LeBlanc & Carr and used it as an inclusion for their Midnight Light with Pete Carr doing the mixing in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, at the FAME Studios.

In 1977 the single release of the song reached No. 11 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and maintained a chart presence for 27 weeks.  It was later named a BMI Millionaire Song for the amount of air plays.  The song has since appeared on several compilation albums.

The duo experienced some artistic differences after recording just one album and went their separate ways.
