I was a Leon Russell fan in the early 1970s, when I was in college. I'm 70, presently and I still give his music a listening to. I like the album: Carney, which came out in 1972.
Leon Russell was one of the best studio musicians of his era. It’s why he is linked to so many bands and labels. He was a phenomenal showman but he really never allowed himself to be pigeonholed in any specific genre. Maybe that’s why so many know his music but might not even realize he is the musician.
One of the most influential musician/songwriters in rock history--yet few today remember his name
The first time I posted this, four years ago, of course, it had a much bigger push from YT. But a lot of the comments were to the effect of Leon IS a household name. My point was to echo your sentiment. He should be a bigger one. Have a great day.
Hi Mellissa, great deep dive into Leon's career. A truly gifted artist.
Thank you so much for your support as always, Royce. I know it's long, but I'll put up part 2 in a week.
I had the 70s vinyl of Leon and the shelter people... great disc🎉..great work with JJ Cale too
Leon was so humble. He didn't care if he was in the the lime light. He just loved music & whether he was cutting a record or helping others, he didn't care. Love this guy. A true legion. Our very own Leon Russell. Love you so much. ❤
I recommend watching Almost Famous once a year. I try to. It is sweet coming of age movie,...with everything we aging baby boomers, remember from our youth.
I first saw Leon at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in 1971 with my Mom. I,knew of him but my mom did not. She became a fan and we have seen him at least 3 more times❤❤❤, bringing my sister into the fold. Even my 82 year old grandpa loved him!
That's amazing! Thank you for sharing that. He had such a massive catalog. Thanks again!
What an undertaking.......to do a documentary on an artist beyond description. Indeed a legend, an icon, a performer who has influenced so many in his lifetime. It's a shame that so many have no idea of what this man did in his career.. AND you started the documentary off with music from Mad Dogs and Englishmen!! How fitting...
There's a part 2. Thanks for your support!
Saw Leon 1971,72 Old San Diego Sports Arena. Both great performances. Had very distinct style and one of a kind heartfelt voice! Shelter people and Marc Benno collaboration on Asylum Choir two best efforts. Also Mad Dogs and you know.
about time! there should be 1000 docs and 100 bios. there's so little for a talent so big. have loved him since 1970. thanks!
When Paul Revere of the Raiders served our country in the military in the early sixties...Leon took Paul's place at the organ until he returned!
I wish you would tell me a bit more of this. If I remember first knew Leon with putting together mad odds an englishman.im 71 an feel like I should know more about someone I admire so. Much
Me 13 --- Leon a firm fav and has always stayed same. Bless Elton John of bringing him back. Leon WOW -- a math prodigy as a kid well, he chose music. TY TY TY!!!! May God Bless as he would say -- what a special man!!!! xoxo
Thank you for watching. What a special thing to be in his presence. I truly wish he were as big of a name as Elton John and Eric Clapton. Have a wonderful day!
@@MellissaBoomeroftheNight I then had not a clue I was in the presence of two amazing men for sure!!! Good days -- great times --- amazing talent!!! I am now 66 and hold such a deep debt of gratitude to have been able to go that night to The Troubador here in L.A. for one and for two, see such an incredible show!!!! Looking back my memories of that time are just filled with fondness and love --- again bless Elton John for sure for bringing Leon right back and bless Leon for being Leon!!!! Truly such heart warming memories!! TY for putting the work into this that you have!!! :)
Leon probably didn't play on as many hits as Carol Kaye or Glen Campbell, but he was definitely in their league as an all-star session guy. Still, I don't think anyone else in the Wrecking Crew wrote a song that was the title track of 2 top selling albums (A Song for You), or a million selling jazz standard (This Masquerade). Not to mention his many contributions as a live performer and band leader...
Did you mean Carol King? ❤
@@edwardallan197 Carol Kaye was a session bass and guitar player that played with the LA wrecking crew like Leon (in his early years) and Glen Campbell. She’s on lots of The Beach Boys hits and so many other tunes…like Leon. I guess Carol King played on a lot, too, probably in NY. She definitely wrote a bunch.
Leon Russell. The Master of Space and Time is a book written by Bill Janovitz. Recommend read for Leon fans. He was a musical genius.
Don't know where I heard -If The Shoe Fits 1970 but I sing it all the time at home. I was only 13 yrs old when it was published. HOLLER !
Layla the best song ever/.
I covered his song “She Smiles Like A River” on my last record. One of my all time favourite artists!
I Goggled " What was Leon Russell's net worth when he died?". It said $600,000. I couldn't believe that. Maybe one house Leon owned was worth that but unless he gave away all his millions I just can't believe that. For crying out loud he owned his own record label.
I can't remember what I found out about his if anything. I know he wasn't rolling in it. I haven't scrubbed Part 2 to put it up. No one connected to the Tulsa music scene was rolling in it, sadly. It's become my favorite kind of music. Have a good day.
@@MellissaBoomeroftheNight Thanks Melisa. I just wanted to say that Leon and Elton were both my piano inspirations when I was a teen in the early 70's. I wanted to play gospel piano so bad and it took me until I was 52 for my dream to come true when I got a gig being a Hammond organist for a Black Baptist Church in St. Augustine FL. I actually became a Celebrity in NE Florida in the Black Baptist Church scene. And I owe it all to Leon Russell. RIP Brother we'll be jamming together when I get there in God's Big Band in the Sky.
Pretty like a knife
sad that electronica has removed the need for this kind of musicianship from popular music--now u turn on the drum machine and samples and you make millions
"Can you get us in free, my girlfriend and me".....
Very nice video of the great Leon Russel. I am sorry to say that i stopped watching because of the terrible sound. Everything sounds dark and and the spoken parts are very difficult to understand.
I thank you. It's been moved off of a laptop I spilled coffee on, to a flash drive, to another laptop, to the cloud. But thanks for the engagement. I appreciate it!
I'm scrubbing it from my other account. When Bobby & Coco started their channel, they were just recording his stories from her phone. I got to his part, and even I had to quit. But yeah, I agree with you. Thanks for the input.
Eclipsed by bands like Steely Dan, Chicago, America, Doobie Brothers, Pink Floyd, Eagles, Yes, Wings, Led Zeppelin, Allman Brothers... Rock triumphed over pop!
I'm with you there!
