Leon Russell, 74. Not gonna lie, this one really hurts. Leon was such a huge talent, and as a session player, was part of so many hits, they can’t be counted. Then he came out front with Mad Dogs and Englishmen and became a star.
There’s one that will shine brightly for a long time.
Thank you Susie,
I remember this song, but just being a little kid, still taking piano lessons, I didn’t really appreciate his songwriting ability and innovation as much as I can today.
