windy1 Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Are there any Leon Russell fans out there? I'm sitting here with tunes and lyrics going through my head, but for the life of me can't think of a single title except Magic Mirror. My brain's just not working tonight. Help me please! I feel like a complete knucklehead, cause I know these songs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 I'm at a mindstill myself regarding Leon Russell but the songs Tightrope and Lady Blue can't escape my memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Leon Russell is a prolific songwriter. He also wrote Delta Lady, made famous by Joe Cocker. George Benson covered This Masquerade and won a Grammy for Record of the Year in '76. Other songs are: Song for You / Hummingbird / Shoot out on the Plantation / Roll Away the Stone / Stranger in a Strange Land / Bluebird / Back to the Island.

windy1 Posted April 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hey now,there are working minds out there,thanks. Back to the Island was the specific song I was thinking of. I remember the Grammy for Tightrope, but I always liked Leon's version best. Something about the quality of his voice. He's sort of a singing songwriter, I think of him the same way I would Bob Dylan. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesboy Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Dylan certainly has a diverse voice, and since the early 60's he is our poet laureate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
