Wow. I know I have heard this version before. I recognize the Paradise lable. I either own it or it is at the Radio Station I worked for. I like this version Mike. Kinda a dreamy feel to it. Love the sax solo.

Hi Mike, Although I can't find it, I believe I had on vinyl a Leon Russell LP with he and his wife Mary Russell on the cover. I especially liked Wind Song and I think the other one was called Lavender Blue. As I recall, Mary sang on the two songs. Are you familiar with the LP? Thanks..Joe

Thanks so much for posting. The "younger generation" will hopefully know who Leon  Russell is now. He will always be my favorite.
