Dear Leon, You are absolutely amazing! Your Shelter People album was the second album I ever bought, after Meet the Beatles!! And I have loved you and your music ever since. You are such a talented musician, nobody plays the piano better than you do, and your music has always had the ability to take me to a magical place. You deserve way more accolades than you've gotten in this lifetime, but I'm so glad Elton knew, too, what a huge talent you have. Thank you, dear Leon, for all the happiness.
There is something so different about Leon - something that goes right to the very essence. He takes a simple song and makes it haunting. He goes off into the ethers and takes you with him as he wraps himself around the music and the lyric. Or maybe the music can't resist him either, and wraps itself around him What a beautiful, remarkable talent. He will always be the northern lights to me.
This is my "go to" video when I need to bring myself up, let go of things I can't control. And it's not the lyric that heals me. It's sheer, quentessential LEON. Totally engages my eyes, ears and goes through me to the depths.... serene and yet not. Raw, spontaneous and yet precise... piano and voice embracing symbiotically. Perfect seems too small a word. MOSAT
Some would criticise and say a man stuck in time but I would prefer to see Leon, and others such as Willy Nelson, as those who have found their niche in the World. I have loved Leon since I discovered him on the mad Dogs Tour of Joe Coker. A massive talent and a true star.
@MsLeonfan yes, i agree, he makes every song his own, i have listened to a lot of songs by Leon some were written by others, but he does them best i think, love Leon master of time of space wah hoo
I think this was at the Beacon Theatre in 1980? Does anyone have the version of A Song For You that he performed at the Beacon? I would so appreciate it as I've been looking for it since they removed it from you tube..
Leon,thanks for helping Elton help you..You are the one and only HOTTEST MAN ,even today..I wouldn't throw anything at you except MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...Your a bad ass...Master of space and time...Eat ur heart out to my utube buddy..
He is the Master of Space and Time. Along with the beautiful and eclectic songs he writes, he can interpret any song and it becomes his. Amazing songwriter, musician and force in music. So glad he was finally recognized this year in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Thanks to Elton John for bringing him back. Leon is simply one of the best, now and always.
Leon somewhere over the rainbow...Up in the sky birds fly over the rainbow why then oh why can't I??? Why are you so HOTTTTTT???? I wish I were your Mail Carrier,see you everyday..Tell me why can't I?
Here is the man Stella!!!! this is my beginning in the music, I been listening to him in years, he give me a very nice music start for about 40 years ago, just love it. If you want, you can send it to me I would be very glad, PBO
Gorgeous!!!! oh the hours spent in my youth listening to Leon...:-):-):-)this is a sweet retreat from "the now" for a wee 3:15 , sweet! ...thankyou Stella , big smile!XOs, Laurie
