first heard the great Leon Thomas at a club called Prohibition in London in the mid to late eighties, bought a few origionals on the flying dutchman label at a wicked record shop in San Fransisco called groove merchants, those were the days, his yodeling still leaves hairs standing on my back, can i hear an AMEN for Leon... R.I.P

[icon200]

wonderful!!

if this doesnt bring JOY to your heart and UP lift your spirit..i dont know what else

bravo!

[intercityvisionary]

amen...this brother had to come out during the time he did because today his style of vocalization just might have not been taken too seriously..during those day there was an open mindset for creative unique vibe which I think might be lost today..Leone Thomas was not only a head of his time but he was in the right time to be him self...RIP..feeling da love..

Leon Thomas, everyone remembers! Santana and Pharoah Sanders both chose this great man as a collaborator.
