Thank-you. Bless you. That song really touched me today more than it ever has been in my life. (My husband and I were just in the backyard playing music and I was dancing in the grass. Ah, youth that has past.)
Beautiful song, deep and moving.
I think you meant let us not “forget” Leon Russell? See my post 17. He was a guru to ALL rock n rollers over the past 50 years, and a GREAT purveyor of song in his own right.
He did an album in 06 that few know about; here is a song from the album (which was called “A Mighty Flood” — I listen to it a lot), it is apropos of this topic, I think.

I remember him as a kid in Maysville, OK, a couple years older than me, who would pass by my Aunt Sis’ house, on his way to his piano lessons, whenever I would visit her back in the ‘50s.
I told my Aunt about the “Mighty Flood” album in ‘06 and said, “I sure hope he believes all the stuff on that album”; she replied, “Well, he was brought up to believe it.”
What a great sound he understood.
Good on you for remembering the Master of Space and Time.
Leon Russell died? I didn't know that.......or maybe I did at the time but have forgotten. I forget a lot of things these days.
With that being said, whenever I hear the name Leon Russell I automatically think of Lee Michaels and John Mayall from the exact same era..........
