One of my all time favorites. He just released his last album last month. Pick it up, listen to it. It is very good.

...maybe not as luminary as Cohen, but I did like a lot of his stuff and saw one of his later shows. Just heard "Back To The Island" again...

I need to pick that last album up. He was like one of those timeless cats that you never think of as getting old, gonna be around forever.
And suddenly one day they are gone from us. He had some good ones. "You were not there for the beginning. You will not be there for the end. Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative" William S. Burroughs

Why does it seem that great musicians pass away in numbers. It's been another bad year for these folks.
Leon Russell, the longhaired, scratchy-voiced pianist, guitarist, songwriter and bandleader who moved from playing countless recording sessions to making hits on his own, died on Sunday in Nashville. He was 74. Many of his songs became hits for others, among them Superstar (written with Bonnie Bramlett) for the Carpenters, Delta Lady for Mr. Cocker and This Masquerade for George Benson. More than 100 acts have recorded A Song for You, which Mr. Russell said he wrote in 10 minutes.
Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Martin Luther King I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend. Thomas Jefferson Seems to me if its clear that certain things that require ancient dates couldn't possibly be true, we are on our way to throwing out all those ancient dates on the basis of the actual evidence. -- Faith |

Sorry, I missed your post. Leon Russell was more of a behind the scenes guy, but I'll remember him best for his appearance in that Joe Cocker video for "The Letter".

I will miss her on the PBS News Hour.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

I wasn't a big follower, but I do feel a tremendous respect for what she was doing.
I first heard about it on public radio last night, but the first online mention I encountered led to this page. Moose
