COME ON INTO MY KITCHEN - Leon Russell & Friends (1971)

[stephenabelsr]

Sorry about that. I must have read post wrong. My apologize.

[stephenabelsr]

Judeecreek2 HE wrote what?

Try Robert Johnson when Leon was a twinkle in his moms eye.

[judecreek2]

@stephenabelsr Huh? I never said Leon wrote this. I know it's a Robert Johnson song from back in the 1930's.

[11sunnywing]

Miss Heroin, I hope you realize you have always been nothing but a groupie in his eyes. I think he wrote the song about you just because he saw how pathetic you are and that you always tried to cling to him. He felt sorry for you - and still does. Get off the drugs, darlin. Get a life. You may have hung onto him all these years, and he tosses you bones and such, but you are still just a groupie. and you get one everybody's nerves. He has a wife ok? You are the groupie - go away.

[judecreek2]

@11sunnywing Who are you writing about?

[11sunnywing]

now the woman he LOVE, is his WIFE.....his soul mate - the one he has loved since he laid eyes upon her. So sad that the groupie girl thinks that maybe she would be the one whom he loved.........not ever. Sorry sweetie - I know you've spent some years here, but you will alwyas ONLY be the groupie and so good for his ego. Every star needs one. And loves having one. And gives back to the groupie as much as they can. But she's always only that - a groupie.

LOL



[dirtycoffee22]

is that ray charles with the cigarette?

[judecreek2]

@dirtycoffee22 No, that's Furry Lewis, a remarkable blues singer and musician.

[69mercuryrx7]

I'm not gonna vote, but if I were to, it would be dislike... I've tried to give leon a chance because so many like him.... I just dont get leon

[judecreek2]

@69mercuryrx7 That's the way it is with Leon. You either love him immediately or you just can't. I'm one of the lucky ones who loved Leon the moment I saw him on stag with Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen when I was 14, and I've been under his spell ever since with happily no end in sight.

[PeterBullOlsson]

Nice to hear Leon I have every vinyl records of him......PBO

[Mlczdk1]

Enjoy it....we wont see the likes of Leon Russell agian in this lifetime.Thankfully hes still playing.I always thought leon and jj cale were the american equvalent of the beatles...They both wrote/played/recorded amazing music...You okies shook the world..changed it forever

[184lisa]

He´s just 29 in this video. I never thought, that young man could look so awesome and hot with a grey hair . !! And during a five-six years later he became totaly white. Just incredible.... :-)

[leosagcap5910]

When I see Leon play so close up I feel like if that piano suddenly vanished, the music would just keep pouring out of his fingers.....he's amazing.

[judecreek2]

@leosagcap5910 Beautifully said!

[Elavats]

Wow, I forgot how Leon could tickle those keys!

[sharonduke95]

This is one of the best video's of Leon I've seen. I've heard this song a million times by a million people and I never get tired of it.

Thanks to leon and Robert Johnson. I wish he and Leon did a duet. Can you image... Wow.

and thank you for posting.

[Acyberspook]

Patronizing as he'll.

[dorotwhy]

Thank you!!!! Love this :O)

[valhornbake]

leon russel will be in the burg on june 19 i can die happy

[tucsonagent]

You folks DO know this is originally a song by Robert Leroy Johnson, The Father of the Blues. Song dates back to the 30's. Obviously Leon knew real blues when he heard it. Johnson died very young, back in 1938. He was only 27 years old.

[judecreek2]

@tucsonagent Wow---I didn't know that about Robert Johnson! What a terrible shame, and what a talent that was lost!

[marylhere]

@tucsonagent add him to the long list of truly talented artist that died at 27...

[kerrgal]

@tucsonagent Thanks, I was trying to remember who did this song. (Most people will assume he's playing an original song)

[DeltaDregs]

@kerrgal Think it's a Robert Johnson song form 20's/30's......

[ChefDaveWQFS]

Take it away Leon, take it away!

[annagrow1]

One man one piano, thats all you need if he's LEON

[debiedog1]

Never stop the rock, Leon, please!!!!!

[dogman1947]

leon is great, noone covers this robert johnson song as well as leon.

[judecreek2]

Leon can come into my kitchen anytime. Any room in my house in fact. Any time he wants.

[184lisa]

[ladydiana203]

You have a reel to reel of this? Good heavens...go dust it off, get *Caravan* and whatever else you have on there and post it. We're all waiting.

[judecreek2]

At the 1:30 mark, my Leon-to-English dictionary translates his "Oooh yeah" to "Damn, that was good. I sometimes even impress myself."

[zo219]

@judecreek2 Best Leon Russell comment ever!

[judecreek2]

@zo219 Thank you. It's how I've always felt about Leon. Still do and always will.

[deepblues108]

[jcking56]

first time I ever heard this . have to say I like it

[carusmike]

this is rather emotional for me, I'm practically in tears. All this time I have dreamed of seeing this again. This was perfectt. Claudia was perfect!!!!. I've loved her all these years. somewhere Ive got a reel to reel of this off the old grey whistle test. God I loved it so so much. From memory, the third 'song' was Caravan.  I want to hear that again, even just once before I die. Thank you for this. Thank you.

[ladydiana203]

@carusmike A reel to reel? Go dust that thing off and find that song *Caravan*. We're all dying to see it. Seriously!

[DrSardonicuss]

Saw this on TV back in '71

(& fell in love with Claudia) :)

Thanks~

[birddoggarton]

Cool.

Ever talk to John Scott ?

[pack123456]
