RIDE IN A PINK CAR. Re-released 1987 as THE RETURN OF KID BARKER. Turns up on EBay. Lenny is the star of this video. The only one with any acting ability. Shame that no film producer saw the potential of this legendary organist. He knew every inch of a Hammond. Apart from Ray Willets who keeps Lenny's sound and style alive, I can think of very few of today's artists who can play Hammond organs and get so much from them. Ray...You should make a whole CD devoted to this great artist.

Rayis hoping to be making a Tribute to Lenny Dee cd in the near future, and is trying to arrange to perform a tribute concert in america in memory of Lenny

I'm Lenny's grandson. I remember going to the set of Ride in the Pink Car when I was Kid. I had a blast coming to Florida to hang out with Lenny or Opa as I called him. I'm just on here reminiscing about the good old days!

hi flyingfingers, its a good friend of mine ray willetts playing here in blackpool. i know he's using a hammond B3000 organ and its been modified so you can plug in an external reverb unit then the whole lot goes through the leslie (except keyboard) i'll fing out which reverb unit it is for you.

Regards,

Dave

Congratulations Ray for such a wonderful tribute to Lenny Dee

[flyingfingersmark]

Rudy Rosa is another super great Hammond player...rudyrosa1on youtube...he uses lots of delay echo !

[flyingfingersmark]

Well I just have to chime in here and say that with my very customized B3 Hammond and Leslie speakers and delay echo units and the 3 Casio keyboards that I have ! I also can come SUPER close to The Lenny Dee "sound" and style of playing ! Even the Solovox sound that Lenny Dee used ! flyingfingersmark in Galena Illinois !
