I couldn't believe how great the Will-o-the wisp album was back in 1975 while just a kid in H. S. Forty seven years later the classics off that record (Bluebird, Lady Blue etc) sound even better. I'm not sure Russell ever realized how uniquely talented he was. Can there ever be another voice like that?
Ohhh my Leon old friend we all still miss hearing you sing and play after all this time you had a way with that piano I've been listening to your stuff since 1970 and before in the sixties we still sit alone and sing this song for you Rest in peace old friend thanks for the beautiful music
Chills... beautiful chills down my spine. Such beautiful chords and a rich piano sound! I remember loving this song as a kid... I appreciate it much more as an adult, especially since Mr. Russell has passed. Truly beautiful...
I agree. I was in the United States Marine Corps when this was a hit. I was stationed at Camp LeJeune North Carolina and in love with a local lady who lived in Jacksonville, North Carolina. So was so cute and petite. She broke up with me, before I got out of the Marine Corps. It took almost 3 years to get over her. But Ive been happily married for 39 years.

Just discovered this man. What a talent. I love " Lady Blue" I LOVE watching him with New Grass Revival. I'm so amazed at his piano playing. I wish I had discovered him sooner to see him live in concert. Leon seemed so humble to me and sincere. So handsome. Rest in peace Leon. Wow his resting place is just beautiful too. I'd love to visit.
Thank you. Seeing the man play the music and sing is so much deeper an experience than just hearing it! I look for videos like this. Thank you for providing it here.
What a unique and different spin to such an already great song. This is just beautiful listening to Leon and only his piano! Thanks for uploading this one.
In my opinion as a piano player he is the person who impresses me the most. Superb phrasing, musicality and control. He always manages to really individualise anything he plays. Sadly missed
This is one of my all-time favorite Leon Russell songsBut it is a very poor version The buttery smooth sound of his voice is missing I need to play another versionPlease don't get the wrong idea Leon's much better than this song keep digging Oh but does Leon have a magical way in his voice
My favorite artist ever. I was honored when my husband had him come to my 65 th birthday party . It’s the highlight of my life ❤ 😢
Leon Russell, for me, is the best singer in North American history
I love this song all I can think about when I hear it is dancing with the man I love.
One of my all time favorite song. Beautiful! Thank you Leon. Your music lives on

Nobody plays the piano like Leon! I love this beautiful signature song. RIP Leon.
RIP Leon..this breaks my heart

There's not much better than Leon playing a grand piano.
Not much better than this . Acustic pianos are awesome .
I read of an interview "I see no sound equipment what do you do when you want to hear some good music?" He points to his piano.
Gorgeous.... "signature songs"... Leon and his piano... as essential as food and water. Thank you so much!!
“You just wait and see….”
Beautiful
Thank God for Leon Russell

No matter what happened in his life, he still had the talent and the soul.
Tender treatment of a classic, and my favorite Leon Russell tune.

Love this song! Great memories of the Fall of 1975.
Best session musician ever...hands down look at his resume if you don't believe..shoulda out front more often
This is awesome
awesome chords.... can listen to them over and over.
I am a piano player, and I agree. Those chords are awesome. He makes playing look easy.
In my opinion as a piano player he is the person who impresses me the most. Superb phrasing, musicality and control. He always manages to really individualise anything he plays. Sadly missed
This is how he looked when I saw him last. Well, for the last 40 years.
~Awesome!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE...
I've Always Loved This Song by Leon!! Xoxo
We saw him a few years ago, not long before he passed, glad I finally got to see him live.
I love Leon! His beautiful voice and his spirited piano playing! If I were limited to listening to one person only, it would be Leon!
Beautiful! R.I.P. Leon.
this breaks my heart
The chord progression for this song is just perfect. This man was a great songwriter.

He was a beast
Who dislikes this song omg 😍😍😍😍😍😍 still listening 2019 I feel in love with Leon and with music when I heard this song ❤️❤️
Miss you Leon
Now that all my fave singers and friends have gone it is my turn.goodbye world..... opioid....
Soo sad
I believe that is the piano that Elton John bought for him.
He can make his piano an orchestra.
one of two songs he wrote for Rita
Who is that on sax?
Was this recorded in his home?
I'm not sure if this was recorded at his home? Back ground looks like the video may have.
Why did he always wear the hat, was he bald?😅
I like the original better.
This is one of my all-time favorite Leon Russell songsBut it is a very poor version The buttery smooth sound of his voice is missing I need to play another versionPlease don't get the wrong idea Leon's much better than this song keep digging Oh but does Leon have a magical way in his voice
That little piss-ant piano.... not worthy of Leon....
Yuck. He butchered his own song.
I think he was entitled to do whatever he wanted with it, after all, he did write it!
