Thank you again Teresa for bringing my little mom to me today. Such a gift you are! Losing her so shortly after this was filmed, makes it even more special. I hope no one misunderstands her saying she called him a “wuss” LOL they were just playful with one another. I benefitted from them being able to remain friends after their split, after a cool-off period, of course. HaHa i always say what an excellent example they were to me. ;-)
Hi Blue.. I saw your Mother for awhile when you were just a baby. I just wish I had attempted to look her up before she passed, as I wanted to chat with her about some things. She was a special lady.
What a special gift of your mom and her first hand accounts of her life with your Dad. We’re blessed to have had them in our lives. God Bless you always.
Thank you for posting this. Leon probably didn't know what hit him when he met her, and her beauty must have knocked him off his feet! I love her stories, spunk, and admiration for Leon.
What a very special piece these videos are... Thank you so much for bringing Carla to us. I’ve been a huge fan of Leon’s since 1971 and knew very little of this lovely lady. We are all lucky she sat down with you before she passed. Big hugs to y’all and heavenly hugs to Carla.
Thank you so much for bringing us the wonderful Carla Brown. Love this lady, and love all the wonderful videos you're putting up. The Church Studio is going to be legendary... again! Teresa Knox, so glad this wonderful heritage building is in your capable hands. ⛪
So glad to have seen this 2-part interview with Carla. Her accounts of Leon & the events in that time are so interesting to this nosy fan. Them bullshitting Warhol is priceless! More poignant is Leon’s frustration with the drug scene; just like George Harrison. Leon’s(& Denny’s)attempts to facilitate freedom for musicians from the restraints of the industry is explained... it’s just nice to have some of Leon’s personality revealed. I experienced his Paradise Show tour in ‘84 & wish I had video of the performance; indescribably-standing-on-your-seat & shouting-great!
I think those in Heaven are soooo fortunate, MORE than we all know. I hope my "Angel Baby" Husband is sitting down & listening to her & Leon tells their stories. She is majestic, down to Earth, the real deal. I love her to pieces!😭🌬🤍💨🌬💨🕊💨🪶💨🐑💨☮️💨✌🏼
Definitely not in love in a “romantic” way. 😉 But, they still had love for one another and spoke highly of one another all their lives. They remained friends and she and his first wife were like sisters.
Love at the end of the video there is a picture of Leon sitting between Carla and his then wife Mary. He’s hugging his wife, his two youngest children sitting on his lap. The eldest of the three resting her hands on Leon’s head. Nice picture.
I fell in love with Leon just recently I was living in Europe for several years i'm guessing when he shone the brightest. I fell in love . Many thanks to Sir Elton John I have lived my life with music and nursing. Leon had hands that were molded by God to be the great artist of centuries. his songs have been sung by many.... Leon's unique style was eternallly wonderful. His eyes saw through my soul especially as he watched some of the artists he worked with. Thank you and all Leon lifts and Sir Elton yes the world needed Leon and I pray he is kept in global memory, you all put Tulsa on the map.. the music was inspiring in every way. I can only guess Leon was not comfortable in the spotlight but his heart served well bringing others along to continue the Tulsa sound. I began music in church.,,, and God lead me the rest of the way. what an amazing man. I just watched one where Leon had a gospel singer picking out a great song Leon visible in the background you'd occasionally see .... the biggest proud smile like a proud dad was following his face.... ahh I thought his eyes were stunning . anyone who refuses to see miracles in each day please meet Leon from his early years to his return with a man who brought me from darkness to light Rlton then opened wide the sun light and Leon appeared. I was only recently reminded even in strangers presence with a phrase I beleive but since introduced to Leon.... we never die" How can we as we were rescued by love its love in our heritage that calls us forward. love brought forth the cry of any newborn any port as well as musician ... the music bring forth celebration band a love 💕 eternal how can that die I and as I pass in Leon to my children and friends yes he lives on loves on whether long dark hair and eyes that can see your soul or the man of silver long locks angelic thy name is Leon. He is and was a good steward of Gods Love as Elton sobbed at dr induction of Leon I cried in joy meeting him. My husband knows i'm in love and he is content in my choice as he was brought into my lucie as a miracle as was Leon. Sending so much love and every blessing your way thank yuu ❤
There was a lot of wisdom behind those beautiful brown eyes! I would give anything to have known her, and those who did should consider themselves highly blessed! RIP Carla
I can't find any time when Leon played "Me and Baby Jane" in concert, though I consider it his greatest, most moving song. How does the song relate to Carla, and has anyone ever heard a live version? Thanks.
This is so interesting. She was my niece's friend and I got to meet her a few times and meet BLUE when she was just a little girl. We went to the coolest HOLY ROLLER CHURCH somewhere North of Tulsa.

Hi Blue.. I saw your Mother for awhile when you were just a baby. I just wish I had attempted to look her up before she passed, as I wanted to chat with her about some things. She was a special lady.
Carla Brown was a national treasure. I love her Tulsa accent..It's refreshing..RIP Carla
Leon Russell was a Diamond of music and as a person!!!❤️

Definitely! 💙🦅

A wonderful enlightening experience to hear this loving account of Carla's time with Leon. I am sad to learn she has passed on.

The symbolism keeps getting deeper and deeper. Taking down Re-legion, uplifting spirituality. A prince of peace among us.
I think those in Heaven are soooo fortunate, MORE than we all know. I hope my "Angel Baby" Husband is sitting down & listening to her & Leon tells their stories. She is majestic, down to Earth, the real deal. I love her to pieces!😭🌬🤍💨🌬💨🕊💨🪶💨🐑💨☮️💨✌🏼
The look on Carla's face,that twinkle in her eyes,looks like she was still in love with Leon.Great stories!
Definitely not in love in a “romantic” way. 😉 But, they still had love for one another and spoke highly of one another all their lives. They remained friends and she and his first wife were like sisters.
Carla seems like she was a great lady! I love her spunk!
I am still in love ❤️ with him 😂 💝
I had to watch twice...so far :-) I would listen to her talk, glued to her every word.
Take care all.
Thank you, Bob! We enjoyed interviewing her. A very special lady.
God given gift. With warmth Leon...
Love at the end of the video there is a picture of Leon sitting between Carla and his then wife Mary. He’s hugging his wife, his two youngest children sitting on his lap. The eldest of the three resting her hands on Leon’s head.
Nice picture.
Nice picture and example!!! Let me tell ya! Made a HUGE difference for me as a child! 💙🦅

Beautiful memories of Leon.

That was quite an undertaking.i bet the accuquistics are great. I think Leon was gifted. To play piano at age 4, he was gifted.
Wished there were more interviews with her!
We do too! We have a little more footage left. We’ll figure something out!
Could listen to them kind of stories all night long
Yes, she was fascinating
What an interesting woman. Such a great teller of tales.
One of the best I loved him an still do he just seems like a person that would of been such a good friend an cool to hang around he is truly a legend
This lady is awesome!
She sure is!!! That’s my grandma!
Agreed! 💙🦅
thank you so much for sharing..
thankyou for this
Thanks
.
Carla, you were beautiful then and you are beautiful today! God bless!
love her friendship with all these people.
What a real sweet beautiful lady, GOD BLESS
This is so interesting. She was my niece's friend and I got to meet her a few times and meet BLUE when she was just a little girl. We went to the coolest HOLY ROLLER CHURCH somewhere North of Tulsa.
Carla was FUN TO BE AROUND
Dad had a picture of Blue Eagle I think.
That has to be the best name .BLUE
💙
No mystery why Leon was so persistent in pursuing Carla. Bet she could stop a clock.
😂
She had to have been a beautiful young woman, inside and out. Thanks for posting this.
What a woman 😍💔
💔 This happened to me after Leon died. Same with Georgen Harrison.

RIP brother Leon....
Born on the same day I was.
If she's his 1st wife the Mary M is 2nd / Janet Lee would be 3rd wife
