    I had the privilege of seeing Leon in concert when he was touring with Willie Nelson and I can still see that beautiful silver hair sitting behind his piano. I have always loved Leon Russell from day one. There will never be another one like him.

    I live less than 10 miles from Leon Russell's memorial... I've been thinking I need to get down there and spend a moment of reflection and thanks to him . We really miss you brother . PK

    I lived in Oklahoma in the 70's in college. And I saw ol' Leon Russell many of times. With Joe Cocker, Rita Coolidge, the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tours. I don't know why he was never in California. Never toured there. Nobody ever heard of him! But he was so cool. He'd play in a field out in the sun. Regular guy. Tightrope.......A Song For You.......Delta Lady

    Leon was unique. His look, his voice and his humility. I've always wondered why he rarely smiled, though.
