Leon Russell u beaut a magic Man still turning folks on to your music😎❤️

To have lived in the days and time as Leon Russell was magical, about the only thing i can equate to magical. This man and his music helped me through a very troubled time in my life. I purchased Leon's album Carney and played it , what seemed like, around the clock...at a high volume, maybe to drown out some of my suffering. Thank you Leon, you were a friend of mine❤

Elton John, what a wonderful intro! God bless you and Leon Russell both.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤⭐👊. Thank you for sharing this!!!!!!!!

Lest we forget, Elton reminded us it was in his early days that Leon Russell gave him a boost. So good to see it came full circle, and to the moment in this video. Yes, hallelujah!

And just like that 46 miles of range gone in 1 mile💀

I saw Leon at a tiny bar in Ft. Lauderdale, FL in the 80's. It was like being at a private show! I freeking Loved Leon from the first time I saw him in the 70's! "Back to the Island" has always been my fave! 🎶💫💖💫🎶

I named my son Leon Russell in 1985 !

That Bonnie and Delanie album affected me the same way. Played it constantly at uni in San German, Puerto Rico.😢😢 Loved Leon Russell more than Elton at the time...except for one song. The list of artists is astounding; brings back all of their music❤❤❤

Thanks, how true. 👊🏼✌🏻

Master

I have to listen to Leon Russell after this beautiful tribute the kind EltonJohn. You are great musician but more important a great human being. All the Best,Elton! Many More Happy Days Ahead!

Oh, my!❤♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️ ❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️ Such LOVE!💝

Two REAL gentlemen. Can you imagine how much a friendship with Elton John would bring into your life. God bless them both.

Saw him back in the 70’s and was blessed to see him again with Elton John at Bridge School in 2010!

Kind and Good

I will always love Leon❤️ he’s a brother 😘

we went to see him in Quakertown Pennsylvania around this time - I couldn't help but notice his bus outside _ it was so strange to me that he traveled from town to town in that bus - I realized he was so much bigger to me. so thankful I drove there that night to see him.

Rush had the best induction speech of all time!

Totally SMH!!!! He influenced so many. Elton ignored him for 40 years!!!

If you haven't already, check out the recordings with Leon on guitar. He was a fantastic guitar player.

Leon Russell set the standard of greatness!

Very cool !!!!!!

As a kid in the 70s, we heard the Carney album, we all had to get it, and we all wore it out. Beautiful, and has not aged a bit.

Let see how they handle a real load like a cat d11

Leon was one of the best I grew up here in him breaking through these different barriers and he was always you know I’m alone and I’m singing this song for you

hey i think you have the best surströmming video Ever , i love 2 c this 1 over and over again and laugh sooooooo much hank you 4 this video / Andreas Sweden hehe

When I look at this I think how lucky I was to live in LA and meet half of these people Elton John mentioned .My Dad was in the IATSE and got to be a stage hand for many of these people as well.

Such a wonderful and unique--truly unique--musician. Jumpin' Jack Flash at the Concert for Bangladesh with George Harrison, Eric Clapton and friends. Priceless.

One of my brother's best memories was of being in New Orleans sometime in the late sixties or early seventies. He wandered into a bar, early afternoon. There was a man playing piano quietly, just a few customers listening, drinking. It was Leon Russell. Leon could never now how that hour became someone else's cherished memory, but I'll bet he could write a great song about that.

A song for you is a GREAT song!

Dude what on earth? I had no idea that people had kind of forgotten about him. I mean holy shit, I'm a musician and his music is way before my time, but its the music that i effectively made of 'my time' and if I ever saw him out and about I mean I would just freak out.

His Hank Wilson’s Back was such a milestone!

The first concert I ever attended was Elton John when I was in middle school and it was incredible! Didn't discover Leon Russell for at least another decade, but listen to him quite a bit now. So touching that Elton contacted & toured w/ Leon Russell!

Ya just cannot hate Elton! A stellar musician himself giving honor where honor is due!!!! As well I've seen leon perform live many times it was beyond a special event and a treat to watch a master like that at work!!

What a great tribute to a superstar.I was blessed to be at the Filmore for 2 Mad dogs and englishman shows and the concert for Bangladesh.SONGWRITER,PERFORMER PAR EXCELLENCE THANK YOU LEON

Extremely special! RIP Leon❤❤

Elton John and Leon great artists but awesome people also

Leon and Elton are both masters

Elton did a good deed to rescue Leon. God Bless him for that. I will pray for America. Please pray for me.

This is my favorite Leon Russel song. No one sings it like he does. ❤😊

No body notice the other semi hauling a tank

Leon never really wanted the spotlight,he was happy making music

Truly a monumental talent. And an interesting juxtaposition to have John Mayer sit in. It appears the circle will be unbroken.

I loved your music Leon! Thank you Elton for your kindness and for making it right for Leon. ❤

Recently took a tour of Muscle Shoals studios. Finding out about so many artists whose names I was unaware of. Made think of all the musicians whose music I loved and didn’t even know the musicians who created it.

L E O N ! Magic Man! Yes Elton YOU too🌹🌈Singing this song for YOU!

L E O N ! Magic Man! Yes Elton YOU too🌹🌈

i have never laughed so much in my life 😂😂😂

I have loved Elton since I was 10 years old listening to my best friends’ brother’s albums. Madman Across the Water was my first album. Elton was and remains my favourite artist. I was lucky enough to see him 6 times including his last Concert in Canada with my eldest son. My life was blessed having Elton John as my idol. Thank you Elton! I hope you and David are enjoying your boys. Love you!
