Leon was first known mostly as a session musician, and played played with artists as varied as Jerry Lee Lewis, Phil Spector and The Rolling Stones. He had a solo career spanning the genres of rock, blues, and gospel. His first songwriting hit was for Joe Cocker's 1969 "Delta Lady", and Russell went on to organise Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour. The man can beat a piano.
He is on tour and I will be seeing him tonight (11-15-07) in Virginia Beach at a fitting venue for his style of music.

A little bit of country from Tanya Tucker. Tanya was only 13 when she released this song. She won the CMA Award for Single of the Year in 1972. In her autobiography ste stated that after she won the award, she went back to school the following week, and was beaten up by some jealous female classmates. Her life has been in the news quite a few times, such as when she endured drug and alcohol problems as a teenager, and was briefly engaged to Glen Campbell.
