    As I'm writing this, there are 6 "thumbs down." I honestly don't understand it. I can understand not giving a crap one way or the other, and being neutral about the whole thing, but, I don't understand why anyone would dislike this.

    Of course he was a great studio musician, but his songs are some of the best songs i have ever heard. And he plays them so soulfully, Back to the Island and Song for You are my favorites. No one has written and performed a better song in my opinion.

    • @alevine1951
      @alevine1951 4 года назад +4

      Sadly, Leon went "back to the island" several years after you posted this. That song is among my favorites as well, but isn't mentioned much. I was thinking of it watching his memorial service, and thought it would have been appropriate and gratifying to have been played at the beginning.

    I see (The AMAZING) Leon Russel sitting there in all his sartorial splendor with his trademark white beard and mane thinking "this is EXACTLY the look that Howard Hughes was going for" . This would be back when he was wandering the Nevada Desert and the Strip in Vegas.

    I worked with ad agencies in LA and cannot imagine how Leon could fit in with all those stuffed shirts. I share his admiration for Stan Frieberg who was an offbeat genius in advertising and comedy routines. I am so happy advertising was not for the genius of Leon Russell and am grateful for all the years of his great music. 🎵

    How did the bands pull it off when they played live to live up the their records?

    • @metv2363
      @metv2363 8 лет назад

      +MICHAEL DAVIS, most of the time they didn't. Since social media and the like obviously didn't exist back then, the word didn't spread as quickly that these bands couldn't reproduce live the sound of the studio recordings. Some people didn't care; those that did, could quickly figured out what was going on. Shortly after the Monkees were exposed for not playing on their first two albums (by Michael Nesmith), most of the new acid rock bands had already started playing on their own records and the heyday of the Wrecking Crew was more or less over.
