No one can deny that 60's 70's rock n roll was the best music ever

[jjjjjj-sdyr]

Listen to the "music" of today, and you just have to wonder how people were ever this talented.

The woman dancing with the rolling pin was Sweet Emily his personal assistant and very much a part of Leon and his friends

[Bombeni]

Ah such sweet memories. I grew up & live in Tulsa, Leon's hometown. We used to get loaded & drive around his house; sometimes we'd hear live music. We always wanted to scale the fence but were too paranoid (that's what pot does for ya). One time, I swear, we were driving around there at night and a cop comes outta nowhere and stops us. The pot smoke was pouring from the car. He opened glovebox found the bag & threw it on the seat & said to get rid of it, then walked away. The 70's, so sweet.

Claudia Lennear Blows my mind. How Beautiful she is!! She is the inspiration for the Stones song Brown

When I see clips like this it makes me wish it could be 1971 forever.

The Internet never ceases to amaze me. There seems to be endless videos from the past that I have never seen before.

Leon is the man, forget the mean hearts, their hearts are sick and ill with meanness, Leon and these folks are beautiful, bless you

[johnamiller]

Who in their right mind can't enjoy music like Emily? Dance like Noone is watching. Let music move you. She is pure joy and Leon knew it. I love it and Emily's joy is infectious.

Leon Russell the most cool person in music plus great hippie vibe so much love back in those days truly miss them!❤

This makes me so happy; the Pure Joy of Leon and these people is contagious.

I watched this when it was first broadcast. Thank you so much. And folks please support public TV, they have given us more than you can imagine.

[cantarooots]

This is so ridiculously badass. That dancing lady is priceless :) Leon is the man.

[uncleswan]

in 1971 that's an original Gibson Explorer from 58 or 59!!!

[mslindafreeman]

Thanks SweetEm for the laughs, your generosity and kindness to those you loved and the cooking sessions we had along the way You will be missed by many! There will never, ever be another Emily. Rest in Peace Beautiful Lady

I saw photos of Leon's 65th birthday party and in one, sitting next to him is none other than Sweet Emily! Talk about a friendship that's lasted through the years.

So glad I had a chance to see him in 1974.

If it wasn’t for Leon’s voice and piano, I’d never even know he was there at all! Love the bodacious women getting down!👍❤️🎹
