There'll never be another equal to Leon. Like so many of the best musicians, his talent will live on through videos of recorded & live performances during their celebrated careers! ~You are a light in the celestial firmament Leon Russell. Sadly missed
I love this song but I really don't like this faster version he's laying down. Not sure why he's decided to speed it up. Sounded way better on the album.
Derek Kane Leon tells us about "those funny little words on the end" in the version on Leon Live. "A man gone crazy. A man is lost in the woods" is what a South African friend at the "Carney" recording sessions translated into Zulu for Leon.
Ah have wondered forever about that, googled it, your reply explains it, love the chorus on those songs, but this one was a different language, thanks. Love leon
Around 2000 I guess, the Signaturen Songs Album was released at that time and the DVD , where this clip is taken from is from 2001 or 2002, If i remember right.
That's what I don't understand. He had all the talent to be a super. Star. And he was for a short time. I mean c'mon he's a damn good piano player. He owned it! I know he got ill. What happened. Did he get tired of fame.? Kinda sad. I read he died broke.😥
Elyce, his professional biography had glorious ending, as Leon Russel. was introduced to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and before that have recorded an album with Elton John, who publicly praised Leon as his tutor in music. On youtube, there is very fine speech by Elton at the Hall of Fame ceremony for Leon.
