marvar Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I got to run monitors for Leon about 10 yrs ago- It was so cool, he had just had both hips replaced, and was walking with canes, anyway, he come rambling up the stage, sits down at his keyboard, and then just burned the place down, it was amazing- and, he was solo! had all the backup parts midi'd It was just a mind-blowing experience.

L5Larry Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Leon's a great songwriter, and many of his songs lend themselves for varied interpretations. You might remember these two (one mentioned above). He's probably still living off the songwriter royalties from the sales of these two records.

FirstMeasure Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqFHc5ewlQ He's a couple more Leon penned hits. Multifaceted would be an understatement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Some playful Leon to lighten some moods. I really wish someone would take some of this old Leon footage and remaster it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Danville, He never ceases to amaze me. Front man, side man, song writer, interpreter, I don't think there's anything he hasn't done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1gUfCIaDvA He even played a Les Paul complete with Top Hat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxson50 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 A lot of great artist came out of The Wrecking Crew. By the time Leon did his first solo record he had been on many hits and was well known in the industry. The few times I saw his shows he never failed to just rock the house. He played on Glenn Campbells Gentle On My Mind under the name "Russell Bridges". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edC3SinuhSQ Whenever my voice is having a off night I like to cheer myself up with this performance. Reminds me that it happens to the best. Plus I could listen to Claudia Lenear sing this back up all night long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
