The Ancient Cosmic Metaphysical Swinging Incomparable voice of Master Leon Thomas

[@ziporalinzer2475]

[@pearlbarkley1019]

NO One ... and I mean NO ONE sings like Leon Thomas!!!♥️♥️♥️

[@powerallahhelove7654]

I remember hearing about Leon they say he had fallen and chip up his teeth and started yodelling from the pain well who knows my pops used to play China Doll in his bar room in the house ❤️✌️

[@icon200]

[@pearlbarkley1019]

But he's such a hard act to follow 😊😊😊

[@Cuplovesometea]

There is a place where it's always spring and peace abides over everything there you will find, love is always king , it's where echoes shine and reflections ring

[@fernandoiturburu2607]

there is no a single singer in the jazz/pop tradition that has a voice like leon's... an exquisite fruit of phroah sanders's experience (not to mention the trane...)

[@Soul-Jazz-Funk-Time-Machine]

Jon Lucian is a bit similar. Love this track

[@nqabajubase7484]

Zim Ngqawana has 2/5 similar vibes too

[@cynthiapreston1872]

Saw Pharaoh Sanders live in Buffalo, NY about 50 years ago. Snuck in a club as a teenager. I've never forgotten the excitement of his talent!

Favorite song and yes I'm a 11 yr. Old

[@dreamyblue44]

Oh man, he was full of the spirit for this cosmic wonder! :)

[@ladyhydrojen531]

Beauty speaks. These exquisite melody seems like a tune I'd hear on a Spike Lee film. It has such culture. 1 dislike... Leon did it right! Thx for this jewel!

[@luispinheirodosmontes7219]

Just "discovered" this...on the second day of 2023. Thanks KZbin, you're not completely worthless after all , even with your 20 adds per second 😒

[@hassan1953]

This lp definitely made a impact on me! Never thought as a kid in my late teens in Pennsylvania in late 60s, playing this over & over on my parents & uncles stereo, one day i'd be in LA playing that drum on the cover.

[@carltonwhite9682]

Better than a biscuit and some syrup!!!

Love it!

[@jnawilliamtucker3631]

He used to play jazz bagpipes. Hope I can find it

[@alpacino7856]

Best voice of Santana during the 70's. Only 2 albums Welcome and Lotus. It's a pity because in this last album they didn't keep many of his songs. You must buy Lotus Complete Session whish is too expensive....

[@alfredlsmithsr3491]

[@pearlbarkley1019]

Superb!!!😊😊😊

[@DavidHernandez-zm7cg]

Leon was the perfect voice for Santana's Devidip period

[@nelson6534]

James Spaulding on flute?

[@noizyme]

When you're tripping so good, you fall down in a dark garage and just decide to lay there and sing to yourself and throw garbage cans around....
