Love what Leon Russell did for his sound.

My dad was a huge fan of his as well.  
vibe4giants : 12/22/2014 2:17 pm : link
I remember being a little kid, dragged to the theater to watch (the movie) 'Mad Dogs and Englishmen'. Still remember how loud it seemed. Dad also got a kick out of Belushi's imitation.

I didn't know he was sick. Definitely a bummer.

I was but one year old in 1969. I've watched his performance at '69 many times. Great.
RIP

One of my favorite performers. One of the few singers who could pull off a scream as a musical note.

Very sad to hear of his passing.
RIP  
Dylan fan : 12/22/2014 9:54 pm : link
Below is a link to the entire excellent Woodstock 94 set. Saw him at the ARMS benefit in 1982 or so. Was great but completely overshadowed by Jeff Beck. Then again, so were Clapton, Page & everyone else that played that night or even since then.

He had a special sound.

His performance of 'Space Captain' changed the way that song was performed to this day.
