Remember listening to Leon Russell and always recognizing his voice because no one sings like him "Tightrope" is the tune that stands out in memory. Thanks Jay and Amber
its cause he was so drunk he could hardly talk lol hey somebody has to
benballard,
Yeah, now that I think about it!
😉
Leon Russell hired all of the musicians , booked the shows and produced the show for Joe Cocker Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour. Simply put there is only one Leon , what a genius.
Stranger In a Strange Land, Roll Away The Stone, Delta Lady, Tightwire, Hummingbird, Back To The Island - Leon!
Stranger in a strange land is very good 👍
@@Cheshirecat1956 100% agree with that, and Roll Away The Stone
You've been missing a lot by missing Leon, he's one of the greats of the 70's. Peace✌️ and Love❤️ your 70 year old forever hippie Gary😊 great reaction 🤣
One of the best backbones of 70's-80's music...if you don't know Leon Russell...start learning now. RIP
Elton John developed his unmistakable four chord melodic inversion style directly from Leon Russell.
Elton & Bernie were great fans of Leon when they were first getting started. They also loved The Band (hence the song titled "Levon")
Leon Russell is a great musician/songwriter!!! His voice is very unique!!! Very legendary!!! Good reactions!!!
RIP Leon.x
Finally! One of his absolute best songs of all time!
Leon Russell was a session musician in LA with the wrecking crew. Amazing piano player. He wrote a ton of great songs. The Carpenters & Joe Cocker covered many of his songs. He mentored the GAP band. Incredible artist. Delta Lady & Tightrope are really good songs
If you haven’t yet seen it the Church Studio has a GAP Band/Leon Russell session from his Tulsa studio from the late ‘70’s. It’s pretty amazing.
@@TheChoochooboy99 I haven't. Do you have a link?
@@elegantirony78 ruclips.net/video/RCkqwgIwkFA/видео.htmlsi=iCXNJ7-rkeFpWQN7
Go to the Church Studio page. Look at the videos list and hit popular. It should be about the eighth or ninth down on the list.
He was also in the house band for the TV show Shindig. The band was called The Shindogs. Glen Campbell was also a member for awhile
THIS OLDER MUSIC TAKES ME BACK YEARS...AND I GET THAT SAME FEELING AS I DID BACK THEN! THANKS FOR THE REMINDER...
This Masquerade,Tight Rope,Delta Lady.
Check out Leon's set in George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh, the first rock charity concert 1971. His performance of the medley "Jumping Jack Flash / Youngblood" is pure talent.
Excellent suggestion!
Agree, they should near more rock/honky tonk music of his.
*Leon Russell: “Master of Space and Time.”*
*"Stranger In A Strange Land"* by Leon is a real BANGER.
So is *"Roll Away the Stone".* *"Tight Rope."* *Hummingbird".* *"A Song for You".* *"This Masquerade".*
Instruments: Keyboards, vocals, bass guitar, guitar, baritone horn, xylophone.
Composer.
Record producer.
Grammy winner.
Living in Oklahoma, you guys need to go buy Leon's old recording studio "The Church Studio" in Tulsa. It's a working studio but also a museum dedicated to Leon and his Shelter Records. I went last year and it was fantastic!
OMG! This is my favorite Leon Russell song. I could listen to this song all day long. ❤
Leon Russell's blue eyed 👀 💙 soul is captivating 🎉
The first concert I ever went to, and I’ve probably been to around 100, was Leon Russell at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield in the summer of 1972. I was 16 when I went. He was great! A big thanks to Elton John for resurrecting his career before he passed away. He was a huge inspiration to Elton and do yourself a favor and watch Elton introducing Leon when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It is mind blowing spectacular and you will be moved beyond belief.
I have a soft spot for songs that came out when I was in high school (1975-1979). This one qualifies.
You really need to check another fellow Okie and friend of Leon Russell, J.J. Cale. J.J. was an enoromus talent, but activley shunned the spotlight and resisted fame. He wrote huge hits that Clapton covered: After Midnight, Cocaine, Skynyrd: Call Me The Breeze & Still Got The Blues. He has so many easy going/laid back songs, I think Jay would love him while smoking a cigar and a glass of whiskey. After J.J's passing in 2013 Eric Clapton released a tribute album called Eric Clapton and Friends: A Appreciation of J.J. Cale. Some of the artist who performed are Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Tom Petty, Willie Nelson, John Mayer and many others. J.J. truly never wrote a bad song, as for songs to listen to: Magnolia, Cajun Moon, Bolin Pot (a personal fav.), Starbound, Gutiar Man, Grasshopper, Durango, Fonda-Lina, Waymores Blues #, and near countless more.
Leon Russell is one of my absolute favorites!!! He was amazing!!! Roll Away The Stone, Hummingbird, Back To The Island, Masquerade, and Stranger In A Strange Land..... Are some of my faves! He was also huge in the New Orleans Area. You need to see him too to appreciate him more! ❤❤❤❤❤
Leon Russell was outstanding with his performance at Madison Square Garden in N.Y.C. along with many well-known other artists/songwriters/musicians/singers at the event of George Harrison's benefit concert for Bangladesh in the summer of 1971. His contribution on George's "Beware of Darkness" was superb. Leon's other songs he performed that night stimulated the audience as well. .By the way, there were numerous guests of George Harrison at that venue not going to mention here.💫🎤🎸🎹🎹🎷🎺🥁🪘🔊🔥☮🎩🎧
I was just about to mention that, but now I'll just say it's a great suggestion! 😊
Going to a Leon concert in the 70's was like going to a revival when he was done with a song you felt like you had to shout hallelujah. One of his best live performance is from an album called Leon Live it's Jumping Jack Flash/Youngblood Medley. Give it a listen and I know you'll shout Amen!!!!
Back to the island. You would like the island feel. music icon Leon has made in the world of music 🙏
Leon, JJ Cale, David Gates, The GAP Band. Tulsa brought so much music to the world in the 60s 70s and 80s
Underrated such a talented man,did so many songs for other artists, just my personal hero,more Leon😊 absolutely a great artist!,🥳💜💙💚💛🧡❤
From what I have read, Leon Russell was born with a mild form of cerebral palsy that primarily affected the muscular strength and control on his right side. Therefore, he always had a limp and favored his left hand when playing piano. The right side of his tongue was also affected, which led to his unusual singing style.
No.
No.
A beautiful Russell song that will make you blend a frozen cocktail and watch the sunset is Back To The Island. Beautiful.
Stranger In A Strange Land, Delta Lady, Hummingbird - Leon Russell many many more!
Back to the Island, Tightrope...Down on the Base.
Back to the Island -- Leon Russell
Super Leon fan here.....saw him in concert in Tulsa not long before he passed away 😔
This song always gets to me. The words. The music. And his very distinctive voice. I love so many of his tunes, but this may be my absolute favorite
You picked the best love song ever written!
'A Song for You'. Just beautiful.
Leon was a great voice and songwriter. His first album is fantastic. Its been in my top 10 all time greatest since its release in '70. So good.
Leon Russell was going thought a bad time in his career and his long time fan and friend said lets do an album together, his friend Elton John. The album is called The Union by Elton John / Leon Russell. Leon rock day grew short so he headed to Nashville and played with the Grand Ole Opry and had a career in Country until he passed.
Goose bumps! Love Leon❤ And the legendary Jim Horn on the sax! What a combination!
Marty Grebb also played sax for Leon on the “Two for the Road” tour
Leon also played on a lot of songs for other people, He played on a lot of Joe Cockers' songs, Eric Clapton, The Everly Brothers, Aretha Franklin, etc. He wrote songs for Eric Clapton, Freddie King, Joe Cocker, Helen Reddy, Barbra Streisand & Kris Kristofferson.
And 9 months after Listening to Lady Blue a child was born to Rob and Amber. Such a romantic ballad,😀
His one day summer concerts at Tulsa Speedway in early 70’s were legendary .
I was there :)
It was sun, bikinis and Boonesfarm wine!
Rainbow in your Eyes -great song withe Leon and Mary Russell
No doubt. They made some great music together.
Glad I got to see Leon Russel back in the mid-90's. His show was fun and people were dancing all over the place.
Leon has so much! He did an album with Elton John as well. He is heralded as the founder of the Tulsa sound and helped many artists get started, including The GAP Band.
You left out Joe Cockers Mad Dogs and Englishmen With Delta Lady , Rita Coolidge🎉
"I'm gonna make you play piano like Leon Russell, like Liberace, like St John the Apostle" - Bob Dylan song My Own Version of You.
Elton John loved Leon and took him on a two-man tour, Elton and Leon on two face-to-face pianos right before Leon died.
Russell's playing is on many great songs as he was an in demand session player for top singers.
Yes, I saw them on that tour in Tulsa. Was a great show!
Leon also teamed up with Joe Cocker w/ Delaney & Bonnie to make the 'Mad Dogs & Englishmen' album. Excellent album worth a listen. Feeling Alright, The Letter, Delta Lady, & She Came In Though The Bathroom Window & Let's Go Get Stoned were featured on that album.
I was 18 years old when this was on the Radio.... Gees the memories. In my 1972 Chevy Vega Red GT 4speed! LOL I bought it from my sister and it had the new engine. I tried to destroy this car. I ran it trough corn fields, and wheat fields, partying. Just a wild 18 year old. That car was actually no problems to me. 'Caused many for my sister. I miss her dearly, died of pancreatic cancer in 2004. She was 50 years old. Her name was Joy. I miss her everyday. It was a bad day May 23, 2024. It was twenty years ago she passed. 🙏🙏🙏 Thank You for this.❣
"hold fast to what is fine"! (1Thess.5 :21)
I really love this song , so perfectly written and sings so fantastic
Fun fact, Leon wrote a song with Barbra Striesand for "A Star is Born" called "lost Inside of You"
RIP Leon. I grew up in the 70s in Tulsa with Leon and Gary Busey and Gailard Sartain. Leon is a national treasure. If you don’t believe me, check out his intro into the RRHF by Elton John. Epic.
Leon live was awesome. One concert I attended he was wearing a white kid glove leather suit with of course matching top hat, so dapper!
I saw his show in Dallas, wearing that same white outfit and top hat. Around 1975 , dancing on top of his grand piano wearing all white. That was a pretty cool concert.
I WAS LUCKY TO SEE LEON RUSSELL WITH THE WHO AND BONNIE, DELANEY & FRIENDS.🎹🎹🎤🎤🎹🎹🎶🎵🎤🎶🎵🎹🎹🎶🎤🎵🎶🎹🎹
Back in '76, Willie's picnic. The 1st band on Sunday morning was Leon and it was all gospel. The best I've ever heard. Leon could preach! Ya'll should check out "Up on the Tight Wire", also "This Masquerade".
Leon Russell and Willie Nelson have done duets. I would definitely suggest you do one of them live. I think your fan base would love it, as much as I love you guys. God bless you too and your wonderful family.
I Love that your generation listening and loving my generations music ..it was great music...keep listening s
and loving it
Have you hit early Leon Russell like “Stranger in a Strange Land” or the live version of “Jumping Jack Flash/Youngblood?”
Leon is unbelievable....unique, so humble. Have seen him about 4 times. Just mesmerizing in person. He was playing small venues....good for me, but so below what he deserved. I am sooooo thankful to my sister for nagging me into going. We lived near Galveston Island where we brought her ashes and played " Back to the Island." Fitting as she and her friends would skip school and go to the Island to goof of and surf. Thank you to her friends who loved her, and Leon.
Been hoping for this one, one of my earliest favorite songs ❤
What a beautiful soothing voice
Leon was one of the artists that George Harrison invited to perform with him at Madison Square Garden for his concert for Bangladesh. His set was one of the highlights of the show.
Check out Bluebird from Leon as well.
Love me some Leon Russell! His voice is so soothing and calming.
You all definitely need to check out the Church Studio in Tulsa at 3rd & Trenton. That was Leon’s old studio. It’s been restored, is now a studio and museum.
Great pic guys. Another great Leon Russell song is "Tight Rope". He also had a #1 country duet song called "Heartbreak Hotel" with Willie Nelson. He also accompanied Joe Cocker on his Mad Dogs & Englishman tour, and he played piano for Joe on his live hit smash "The Letter". Find the live video for that and react. Thanks. 😎
Thanks for this one! One my favorites from that time. There were some excellent hit songs from late '74 - early '75, and this was one of the best. Another good tune by Leon is from 1972, the song "Tightrope," which showcases his piano skills.
My favourite Leon song is Roll Away The Stone.
Never, ever heard of him. THIS was GORGEOUS. I have found so many gems through your channel. Thank you so much.
“Tightrope” is definitely worth reacting to....... 💯🔥🤙🏽😎
Yes ! Yes! Yes! Been hoping for a very long time someone would get to this one by the incredible Leon. Should've known it would be you two. Love it, Thank You. (Jim Horn on Sax).
another Tulsa OK act you should check out is the Dwight Twilley Band. they hit #16 with "I'm On Fire" in 1975. It's a banger for sure! Recorded at Leon Russell's Church Studios in Tulsa and issued on his record label, Shelter Records.
Leon was an amazing artist. Song for you is my all time favorite. I got to work with him producing many many shows. The guy could make you cry when he performed. Thanks for checking him out
SUCH a GREAT, GREAT TUNE, YOU-GUYS!! Leon was a TREASURE!! RIP, LEON! Thanks, ya'll, for reacting to THIS ONE!!! :) HUGS!!!
Amber & Jay, check out Leon playing on the Mad Dogs and English Men album with Joe Cocker
So Glad to see you guys make this video. Love this song so much. My favorite of all Leon Russell songs. Did you know that Leon Russell wrote "SUPERSTAR" ? The huge Hit Song by Karen Carpenter. He wrote it along with Bonnie Bramlett, who first recorded it. The original title is "Groupie" but when The Carpenters recorded it, the name was changed to Superstar. Rita Coolidge also did a wonderful version of the song. Anyone who's a bug music fan, should listen to all 3 versions. All beautiful.
Can't go wrong with Leon Russell. I was lucky enough to see him live 3 times. Great performances. If you want to see more of his hippie vibe check out his version of "Give Peace a Chance". Or you can get more of his old country vibe with "Rollin' in My Sweet Baby's Arms". Two really fun songs.
Layin right here in heaven, is a great song by Leon, worth hearing
I love Leon RUSSELL!
Joe Cocker and Leon performed together in the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour and the album was released from that .. Russell was the co-producer, arranger, a songwriter and performer on Joe Cocker's 1969 LP Joe Cocker! Russell wrote the song "Delta Lady" on the album. The album reached number .. Chek out Hummingbird by Leon
Leon is one of my all time favorites. Listen to some of his duets with his wife Mary from the wedding album
Satisfy You, Fantasy and my favorite solo Leon Russell song Magic Mirror. It's one of those songs that just makes you think.
Leon signed one of my favorite singer/songwriters, Willis Alan Ramsey, to his label Shelter Records. He played piano on the song "Muskrat Candlelight" that you know from the Captain and Tennille. (Muskrat Love) ☮💚🎶
Leon promoted many great artists on Shelter, including Phoebe Snow, bluesmen Freddie King and J.J. Cale, rocker Dwight Twilley (from Tulsa btw), and Don Nix.
My wife & I were married on Leon’s birthday and got to see him at the Golden Nugget in Lake Charles on our 39th anniversary in 2016. This was Leon’s 74th (and last birthday). We got to be in the audience to sing “Happy Birthday” to him. I’ve seen him many times & love his song’s & influence on the music I love.
12-year-old me wished that I had someone to sing this song to back in the earlies. Love your reaction!
Love’sSupposed To Be That Way. Duet with his wife Mary off the “Wedding Album”
He was a part of the Wrecking Crew. Check out This Masquerade sung by George Benson. It is by far the best version.
His album, "Carney," is a classic! Pick any song.
Another great Leon Russell song. "Tightrope".
Leon Russell is truly the gift that keeps on giving. He has written and performed so many great songs. When he comes in on vocals behind George Harrison on Beware of Darkness at Concert for Bangladesh, it gives me goosebumps!
Love Leon!
You guys have really been missing out on a great song writer, producer, and musician.
Leon's musical history is beautifully summed up by Elton John's speech at Leon's induction to the R&R Hall of Fame. You need to watch it! He also was a regular at Willie's picnic and he was great with Joe Cocker on the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour. I got to see Leon perform live on his last birthday. My favorite song of his is Magic Mirror.
LOVE that you guys got back to Leon, a musician's musician! Also his songwriting is second to none. I'll put in my plugs for Tightrope, Roll Away the Stone, Back to the Island, and if you've only heard George Benson's cover of This Masquerade, then you haven't REALLY heard it!
Excellent!! Thank you for featuring this artist.
It's great to meet artists from the past who, for some reason, didn't reach everyone's ears around the world.
I was lucky enough to meet Terry Reid 10 years ago. An artist who was almost the lead singer of Led Zeplin.
Today Terry is the musician I most admire.
Great reaction. So, now you're wondering if Leon had a sense of humor. Ok, you're not wondering that, but the fact remains Leon wrote some songs that are pretty funny. Check out "Queen of the Roller Derby".
I'm so happy you did a Leon Russell review! Lady Blue is tattooed in my soul.
Leon Russell and Willie Nelson were really good friends. Remember Leon was the first person to sign Willie’s guitar, Trigger. Leon was involved in Willie’s 4th of July Picnic from the beginning and it’s not an accident the first Picnic outside of Texas was in Tulsa.
Also, Leon recorded a country album in 1973 using the alias Hank Wilson; the album was titled "Hank Wilson's Back." It's a great listen if you like rollicking, upbeat country.
@@jdw5678 you are correct. Hank Wilson put out multiple albums, 4 if memory serves me correctly
@@RHack1 That's more than I thought! I need to go back and listen to the rest of them. Thanks.
@@jdw5678 be sure to listen to his cover of The Ballad of Jed Clampett.
Watching you discover this made me tear up.
🥲 Myfavorite Leon song. Thank you, guys.
Btw- he influenced a lot of people, including the Gap Band (Tulsa connection) and Elton John, who had called him his “hero”
Near the end of Leon’s life, when he was ill and had been out of the spotlight for many years, Elton recorded with him. I loved that he wanted folks to hear Leon again.
Finally ! My favorite Leon Russell song ! I've mentioned this one several times, because I knew you'd love it. So happy to see you did.. ❤
I played this song over and over when I was a teenager. Tightrope is another good one but this one is my favorite.
Saw him in concert in the late 70s. Back to the Island ❤ is one of my many favorites. I have several vinyls.
Leon's so versatile, he's played with practically everybody back in the day, including with JJ Cale.
This album shows the continuing influence of his wife Mary McCready. A talented black songwriter, singer, and producer in her own right, I hold their colaborations as some of Leon's best music. Obviously in love on this album, and also in "The Wedding Album," (recorded in Tulsa,) Leon and Mary made some smooth romance with these tunes. "Laying Right Here in Heaven" is a quirky love note between two souls who don't mind a little silly in their personal romance. A real baby maker of an album overall, it certainly worked for me and my late wife.
Recorded with several guys from Stax Records who played in the Blues Brothers Band and with artists like Otis Redding. Steve Cropper on Guitar, Al Jackson, Jr on Drums, Donald "Duck" Dunn on Bass. James Horn was on the Sax solo. He also played Flute on "Goin' Up The Country" with Canned Heat.
Amber ABSOLUTELY needs to hear Leon Russells "Masquerade"...It's perfect for her. It was a huge hit by George Benson but written and recorded by Leon first.
