Leon Russell is a National Treasure and SEVERELY under-appreciated. Check out Tightrope and Back to the Island. Stone cold masterpieces.

[dagmar.]

Leon Russell was an American musician & songwriter who was involved with numerous bestselling records during his 60-year career. He recorded at least 31 albums & 430 songs. He collaborated with many notable artists such as Joe Cocker, The Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra, Ike & Tina Turner, The Rolling Stones & so many more.

Leon is beyond a Hall of Fame Songwriter, Beyond Legend! Y’all would be shocked at the songs he’s written.

[nancydemoss]

The man didn't just play the piano. He owned it! It became a part of him.

[lizmoore]

I think this was his most popular song. It's been covered by everyone but I still like to hear Leon do it. You can feel it when he does it. Now, that's music! Love you guys and your reactions. Keep it up.

Another song that will be timeless until the end of time. Leon was a living legend

[RFWieder]

Another great song by Leon Russell that topped the charts for George Benson was " This Masquerade "!!

[sukie]

He does an incredible version of his song “Delta Lady” from these Homewood sessions.

Thanks for the video, you two have excellent taste. Leon is a deserved Legend with a capital L. BTW: the song was written about his failed relationship with Rita Coolidge

[davisworth]

Leon Russell was a studio musician in LA before going out on his own, he is a national treasure, watch him with Joe Cocker on "With a Little Help from My Friends" live at the Metropol 1971, it's next level. Great reactions!

[Ricky-ugwo]

This was written by Leon Russell and is one of the most recorded songs in history. Everyone from Donnie Hathaway to Ray Charles to Whitney Huston recorded it. Leon is heard playing piano in studio on more recordings in 60s than anyone in history. Give a listen to Jumping Jack Flash/Youngblood live in concert to Banglidash

[ptournas]

Love this song. I agree that he puts more emotion into it than any of the many covers of it, even though some of them are quite good.

[ragtie]

I was fortunate enough to see 30, 000+ unexpected fans witness this amazing artist perform not only thiis song but several others, as well. He wrote many amazing songs for other artists during this time. Joe Crocker to mention one... he was very highly respected in the music industry. And he was way ahead of society in acceptance of all races joing together in love. His love of his life was a beautiful black woman.

You can tour the studio where this was filmed and recorded. Church Studio, Tulsa, Ok

[olly]
