ReplyDeleteHi Ruben...thanks for all your info much appreciated...cheers...Luigi
ReplyDeleteThe late and sadly great Mr. Russell. Thaks for this addition to my Leon lineup.
ReplyDeleteHe was also a member of the Wrecking Crew, playing on tons of other artists' albums.
ReplyDeleteHow in the fuck could anyone into pop music of the last half of the 20th century never hear of Leon?
ReplyDeleteLuigi, you really should tend to some of your comments, as there are many bad links & tracks scattered about this blog.
Luigi,
ReplyDeleteYou know Leon's work from the Carpenters' covers of both Superstar & A Song For You. Also, you have Bette Midler's first LP which has the most intimate & sensual version of Superstar. Also Helen Reddy does a very credible version of A Song For You. Whitney Houston gave it a less successful dance-y sound. And also you will know Leon from all the covers of his This Masquerade, also covered by the Carpenters & Helen Reddy.
Thanks both "Anonymous" comments above...I realy must take note of the writers of the songs as well as the singers !!...but regarding my comments about no knowing much of his work I guess I should have said his singing work !!!...thanks for the |Info !! just shows you that you can lean something new every day !!...cheers ...Luigi
