Leon Russell A Song For You 1979

[@judymcvey9005]

What words can describe his demeanor? So calm & cool & he just rocks it with that clear, unique voice. RIP Leon!

[@steveclark4876]

We saw Leon at the Tulsa Boat and tTravel show. He was looking at a yacht for his place on Grand Lake. We said hello, he was friendly and cordial. It was a brush with greatness.

[@blondelebanese9922]

I saw an interview yesterday with Willie Nelson where he said Leon Russell was his favourite singer, musician and songwriter. That really something coming from Willie Nelson! Love their music and will till the day I die. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rhondalong942]

This is one of my favorite Leon songs - I miss him so much!

[@olly8]

Leon ALWAYS sang from his heart ❤ and our hearts ❣️received him so completely. Love this man! Forever! Play on "where there's no space or time"🕊 "there's healing in music, folks"...amen!

[@lotharhamburg5343]

His music heals plain and simple ✝️

Men from the 70's were lovers listen to all the 70's music .❤❤

[@susansauceda9879]

Your right. Love songs were everywhere then.

[@BobLehman-ij1yj]

Always loved listening to Leon ✌️❤️

[@motnosniv]

Leon was unique. His look, his voice and his humility. I've always wondered why he rarely smiled, though.

[@horsepowerhorsepower3861]

He was smiling on the inside.......

[@cpjoliat]

I think he was self conscious about bad teeth.

[@thestraydawgs]

I had the great privilege of seeing Leon play over about 35 years, including the period when going to a Leon Russell show was a "religious" experience. He would have thirty people on stage including a choir. He was fantastic EVERY time. I hope he is playing with all the other greats in music heaven. God bless you Leon.

[@stephanharasyko8376]

He is playing having in music heaven his music heal all his worldly problems and pain he is free THANK YOU LEON

[@DavidHall-d8q]

I live less than 10 miles from Leon Russell's memorial... I've been thinking I need to get down there and spend a moment of reflection and thanks to him . We really miss you brother . PK

[@lisachandler9959]

I'm from Tulsa. Everyone that loves Leon should come visit. You can tour his infamous Church Studio which has been thoughtfully renovated and designated an official landmark.

[@cathleenvance4441]

I had the privilege of seeing Leon in concert when he was touring with Willie Nelson and I can still see that beautiful silver hair sitting behind his piano. I have always loved Leon Russell from day one. There will never be another one like him.

Miss Leon's reverence, his music, his joy.

[@MarttiSuomivuori]

I thought Ray Charles wrote this. Like I thought Delta Lady was a Jagger song. It was Leon Russel. Phew. Talent, theory and hard work.

[@sallyrutledge8238]

I know... such a quiet soul. Talent and humility... they really can coexist. Gives me hope......

[@DOboyle73]

Thank you

One of the greatest piano players ever - did get to see him 3 times - once he played through monumental sound problem!

[@maryvaughn7886]

In the shows from the 70s no one could hold up to his performances. Exhilarating & spellbinding. 😍

[@excidedous]

@@maryvaughn7886 He was Billboard 100's #1 touring act of 1974. He had the Eagle, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Who and many others opening for him.

[@teresamc521]

God Bless Leon

[@sharondyal6316]

Hell on stage no cool calm there,! Blew me away in early 70s great artist...

[@Haring51]

I lived in Oklahoma in the 70's in college. And I saw ol' Leon Russell many of times. With Joe Cocker, Rita Coolidge, the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tours. I don't know why he was never in California. Never toured there. Nobody ever heard of him! But he was so cool. He'd play in a field out in the sun. Regular guy. Tightrope.......A Song For You.......Delta Lady

[@excidedous]

He was in California all the time

[@whowahska]

OK guitarist Jesse Ed Davis first met Leon in LA when he was doing session work for Frank Sinatra at the time. Very early on. Leon got him started as a respected LA session guitarist. Then he and Taj got together.

[@suesatterthwaite5442]

He is my ultimate favorite musician of all time! He reigns!

[@fritzcat6198]

My absolute favorite version of this song. It gets me every time. These pictures are bringing me to tears. Thank you very much for this amazing video.

History. Special People and Special Times. Unity. Oh man to see all the people in this video interacting. Greats. Oh Leon RIP. I missed the era and the message. Wrong age at the time. I just feel like I have to praise our Lord right now. These videos show so much.

[@sharondyal6316]

Thank u recognizing another underrated music maker.

[@JC-vf7zs]

@@sharondyal6316 I was lucky enough to get nearly all of his recordings when a local music store went out of business. From Shenandoah to ISB to Byrds, I have so many. We listen to them an awful lot. ELH has been my favorite female vocalist for around 50 years. When GP and ELH came to Cleveland, I was one of the last people who was able to get tickets. WHATTA SHOW!

[@excidedous]

Leon put that tour together including hiring a 23 piece band, the roadies, the promotions, the film crew and cameramen, bought a plane, scheduled the busses and wrote the arrangements and did the rehearsals - in 3 days. No one can do that. Leon Russell and damn near everyone in the industry.

[@tomiehanby8503]

I think he started working as musician when he was 13 or 14.

Can someone please tell me who Kathy is?
