please tell me it ain't so!
i have been a lifelong fan.
Dang…seems like a new one is leaving us daily!
RIP and Godspeed healing to all his fans and family!
we have lost Joe Cocker, now Leon. who is next Neil Young?
each had and have such distinctive sound and style.
Saved..
Finally found something Mannlicher likes...
That is sad news. I don't think he ever got the fame he deserved.
Damn times two....
I have a couple of old Leon Russel LP's from the late 60's....gonna go put one on the turn table right now...
RIP Leon
mathman, you would cheer the demise of Neil Young?
I will tell you what, mathman. Let us hand you over to the Mescalero savages.
By the night of the campfire, fourteen Mescalero bucks line up, naked as the jaybird. Mescalero squaws banging on the tom toms.
'Ol mathman is stripped buck naked. He is bent double over the 'ol hickory stump, bound hand and foot with the 'ol rawhide thongs.
Let fourteen Mescalero bucks **** mathman up the ***. He'll squeal a different tune!!!
Better than listening to Neil Young.
Claude Russell Bridges....SW Oklahoma boy...
Part of the Wrecking Crew.....that alone is quite a feather in his cap!
"It's a hard rain, gonna fall". Always liked that. R.I.P.
The medley of Jumpin' Jack Flash and Delta Lady were a couple of my favorites by him. I caught his show at Atlanta's Fox Theater in the 70's.
Just a stranger in a strange land...
Loved his vocals and funky piano riffs, speaking of Joe Cocker, Leon played the piano in feelin' alright.
I just saw him perform in February for the first and last time at a small venue. I feel very fortunate.
For quite a while now, we've all been up on the "Tight rope".
