After Signing to Atlantic Records as part of the duo LeBlanc & Carr, success came quickly with the release of the romantic ballad “Falling.” which was named one of Billboard’s all time favorite Top 40 hits.
Moving on to a solo career with Capitol records, LeBlanc became disenchanted with the music scene but continued to write songs. In 1980, LeBlanc became a born-again Christian and began recording Christian-themed music.

LeBlanc continues to write pop and country songs, including hits like “Treat Her Right” for Sawyer Brown and “You First” with two time CMA Musician of the Year, Mac McAnally. He still travels nationally and internationally as a Christian artist and worship leader.
His release, “Love Like No Other” includes a newly-recorded version of “Falling,” as well as nine newly penned worship songs.
