- In this out take from the film, Leon Russell talks about his days as part of the Wrecking Crew in an interview from 2013. Also included in the video are Hal Blaine, Cher, Larry Levine, and Tommy Tedesco.
And when my life is over ,
Remember when we were together.
Oh Man , this is an Earth moving line ! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, Elton, for resurrecting Leon back to the public.
Amen! Leon was the most famous person almost nobody knew. He was a true treasure.
Leon Russell is by far, Thee Best blues. Plano player I have.ever heard seen and/or.heard in the 65 years I've listened to in my life !!!
Happy 69th 😆💕
He was Frank Sinatra's piano player for a while too.
Mac Rubinack is truly the deal
We all know Leon In Oklahoma..hes a national treasure.
Leon Russell, LEGEND.
I first saw Leon in1970, saw him a few months before he left us and many times in between. Always the best! RIP brother.
We all owe Leon a debt that none of us can begin to repay. He is the best of the best
I am right there with you,my brother. I have seen him in person several times and his music was such a big part of my life.We will always have his music and our memories.May he rest in peace
I don't owe anybody a damn thing
GOD Bless you Leon.
Leon is so freaking cool!
He is the definition of cool.
His humility (other than in the hilarious drunk story) sort of encapsulates the man.
I love Leon's music. He was one of a kind.
~^.^~
Oh! Leon Russell ~
You were a pure genius ~
Pure genius....Pure Holy Roller
He sure got me through some pretty hard times in my life... Loved that guy and how his songs make you feel so good inside ❤
Rest in peace, Leon!
Of course he was a great studio musician, but his songs are some of the best songs i have ever heard. And he plays them so soulfully, Back to the Island and Song for You are my favorites. No one has written and performed a better song in my opinion.
Sadly, Leon went "back to the island" several years after you posted this. That song is among my favorites as well, but isn't mentioned much. I was thinking of it watching his memorial service, and thought it would have been appropriate and gratifying to have been played at the beginning.
I will always love Leon Russell
Rest in peace, master of space and time!
My Tulsa and will.rogrrs brotha Leon the king Russell kingdom. Loved having him as a friend. More than a musician to me.
and when my life is over,
remember when we were together...
A SONG FOR YOU

The Asylum Choir's first LP is an absolute gem. A real trip.
Love these interviews with Leon and with others who knew him.
I see (The AMAZING) Leon Russel sitting there in all his sartorial splendor with his trademark white beard and mane thinking "this is EXACTLY the look that Howard Hughes was going for" . This would be back when he was wandering the Nevada Desert and the Strip in Vegas.
Saw him live in Anchorage a couple weeks ago., sounded great , all he was bass , drums and guitar with him.
I worked with ad agencies in LA and cannot imagine how Leon could fit in with all those stuffed shirts. I share his admiration for Stan Frieberg who was an offbeat genius in advertising and comedy routines. I am so happy advertising was not for the genius of Leon Russell and am grateful for all the years of his great music. 🎵
As I'm writing this, there are 6 "thumbs down." I honestly don't understand it. I can understand not giving a crap one way or the other, and being neutral about the whole thing, but, I don't understand why anyone would dislike this.
Sheer ignorance
Idiots
Love those "You Were There" stories. Thanks for the upload................
That "Down home Southern playing" was Leon's famed revival meeting Holy Roller style shit! Nothing like it...anywhere....by anyone.
Fantastic Leon Russell.
Sure miss you Leon.....
He seemed to me to be a very gentle man.
The great Leon Russell. RIP.
hahaaa...I would have been laughing my ass off if I were in that room!
Leon Russell is LEGEND SMART ONE HELLOF A GUY. HE CAN RICK IT OUT SO COOL
Yes,yes,yes! The man was an American singer/songwriter LEGEND! The world is a sadder place. Yeah, Eddie Van Halen could play guitar, but Leon could do it ALL! He is truly the "Master of Time and Space. Don't RIP, just keep singing your songs!
What a jewel of a man.

That magic touch, well put.
I'd love to have that radio!
Leon Russell, one of the absolute best!

RIP Mr. Russell.

Love and miss you Leon...
Musical Genius.. R.I.P. L.R.
RIP Bro.
He was a great one.
I get to see him on occasion
Great stuff. I’m curious why there would be a bunch highway patrolmen at Sinatra’s sessions?
🎶Hope to meet you in heaven some day through time❤🎶. m'lynn
"That's absolutely true." Oh like he actually REMEMBERS it. lol
Marvellous
yeah cher
Master of space AND TIME
RIH SWEET MAN💋💋💋💋👺💋💋💋💋💋💋
How did the bands pull it off when they played live to live up the their records?
+MICHAEL DAVIS, most of the time they didn't. Since social media and the like obviously didn't exist back then, the word didn't spread as quickly that these bands couldn't reproduce live the sound of the studio recordings. Some people didn't care; those that did, could quickly figured out what was going on. Shortly after the Monkees were exposed for not playing on their first two albums (by Michael Nesmith), most of the new acid rock bands had already started playing on their own records and the heyday of the Wrecking Crew was more or less over.
+MeTV Thanks MeTV! That was helpful!
why do singers in recordings lower the key in live performances? MeTV
Asylum Choir!
Why didn't more people do that to Phil Spector?
He drank Budweiser
Leon
Mac Rubinack 1st though! But Leon too.
Kris Kringle😎
Why don’t thumbs down make any comments?

too bad that Cher, the hillary clinton lovin' beyatch, is in an otherwise great video about Leon Russel, my favorite musical artist.
Every single one is.
Cher is the absolute best. You loser.
