Leon had a unique singing style. He wrote so many great songs too. Now he's rockin' for Jesus.

As usual for Leon Russell, another classic arrangement. What an artist!

Let's not forget about what a great addition Bobby Keys made to this song. One of the best rock sax players of all times.

Don't know why this song didn't chart. I think he does a fantastic job. I listen to it over and over.

His music never ages.....there is something very special about him. I love his version of this song.

Man that voice. This dude is good I tell ya. My most favorite performer, singer, song writer producer. This guy did it all.

This cover charted number 1 at my house…for 64 weeks..

Leon always sang so well. Great song.

This song makes me want to pull my car over when the sun is about to go down and just close my eyes and rock a little! Love this

My favorite version of this song!! Love his voice... So relaxing.

Oklahoma is fertile ground for producing spectacular musicians, singers, writers. leon Russell, jj cale, vince gill, woody Guthrie, and countless otherss

I used to skate to this song by Danny! But WOW

I like the intro and love this version of this song by far the best. That sax is great.

I once heard Sir Elton John say of Leon's prowess on piano, "Leon Russell could play circles around me." I knew Leon was good--real good--but that was a revelation.

Listening to this arrangment in June 2024 and it is very fresh, thank you Leon

Pleased to see so many listeners "get it" (Leon) Really nice.

Saw Leon and Mary at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta sometime around 1975-1976. Needless to say, he rocked the house. Somehow, it all seems like yesterday and, then again, it seems like a lifetime ago. A Million Thanks, Leon, for all the great songs and music you've given us over the years. You're one of the greatest!

This is an incredible version of this song. I LOVE Leon Russell.

I was the only one of my friends in 1970 that listen to Leon Russell, heard Tight Rope and fell in love with this great, great, man!

Thank you for making this available. This is, I think, the best song for melancholy periods.

For sure this song chartered #1 at home currently in 2024 Way above many current tunes........................

Beautiful..and a truly sad song.

Leon Russell has some great music what a voice

Just beautiful…..rip Leon.

I used to hate this song until I heard this version . Now I'm in love with it. great job, Leon.

Bill Janovitz' Leon Russell biography brings me here. Cheers! 🥨

My favorite from the first time I saw him in Jersey City. Early 70s

Our Oklahoma Son......Does it Again....Adds soul to every song.

beautiful, brilliant beyond words

He is a special guy.

Love the song and Leon's smooth voice, and the Sax just tugs at your heart.

So sad your gone. You're now in very good company playing all your beautiful music. The Lord has front seat!! R.I.P Mr. Leon~~~

The kind of song makes you want to pull off the road and just take it all in or drive off into the sunset forever with that easy Grove. Love this arrangement. Turn it up

2015, 2016 and 2017 were hard years. We lost so many of the greatest musician/artist to ever Grace this earth. They're not coming back around either.......the way history sometimes repeats itself. Gone but not forgotten. The artist and musician Leon Russell. Love Forever ~ kimie

I like this version ... Saw Leon in Biloxi in 78' ... a remarkable musician.

What a voice!

To Leon, this was considered a Standard....he was a master at everything he did...he was his own person with soul and conviction...R.I.P. Brother...you will live on in our hearts...your music will influence for years to come...love you forever...

and for decades i knew there was something by leon russel got got a few plays on the radio by this very talented man but quickly it was outta sight and then outta mind......thank you for refreshing that dormant brain cell. i love this version !

RIP #leonrussell Thanks for the music and the memories.

Great SONG!! Leon was the BEST!! He will be missed so MUCH!! RIP

LIKE ALWAYS GREAT MASTER SINGER

Excellent and awesome!!!!

Really needed to hear this song today. With eyes closed I can see him on stage and those memories will continue forever with me.

Leon Makes It ,Every Time After All These Years The Beauty Of The Way He Does It ,What Ever !!

nice song!!

Leon was ridiculously handsome, ridiculously intoxicating, and ridiculously sexy back in the day. His voice alone is sexy. He's still an amazing singer, musician, and showman. Leon has always been effortlessly gracious and humble. He's a gentleman and a half. I am glad that I am getting into his music while he is still among us. Leon Russell will be mourned and missed when God calls him out of this life. Peace and blessings.

Very good version, of this biutiful song. And takes me back on time as the original,

Leon has that distinct twaaang to his voice that's unmistakable! I saw him live when he was hangin round with Joe Cocker back in the early 70's at "Pirates World" in Hollywood, Florida. He wore a black Top Hat on stage that night. Wow! I am old! My favorite Leon Russell song of all time is "A Song for You"! Thanks Mike!

I really like this version. I had his Wedding Album. I wore it out.

My favorite recording of this song, Love the sax. Thanks Mike. Clairity is beautiful.

DANG!!! Got to be one of the best Leon recordings I have ever heard!! Can't say enough good stuff about this performer....he is one of the GREATS of all time.

what a great song this is, I am impressed

I enjoyed it thoroughly.

totally ridiculously awesome

Disco and R&B are my favorite genres; however, I always can fit in Leon Russell music!!

You were my favorite!!❤❤

Wow, love Leon's version....Fantastic....but so was Leon. R.I.P

Thank you Leon Russell for the song LADY BLUE, it is so great & brings back so many good memories!!!

At my Age, I can definitely Relate to the Words and Wisdom....!!

Sweet. Very nice. Sax is boss!

An amazing talent.

Charted at 63 on the Billboard country chart in '84

His good buddy JJ Cale needs to reunite with Leon n Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.Rip Okies

omg !! I love it , years since I heard it

Such an awesome song!!! I was raised loving Leon's music!! My parents played I'm all the time~~ Just because I love R&R to Heavy Metal~~I love all genres!!!

If there is anyone out there that can sing,compose,write,play piano,etc..etc..better than Leon please step up too the plate.Leon was everyone's pal. Next witness.

Great choice! Love his version

simply grew up loving this one .....will always love it ...this is 100% proof why

That's definitely the best version of this song!Leon had a unique voice for sure.That song speaks to me alot even though I'm 65 in January.

Totally friggin excellent, the best version in my opinion, from Leon!!!

A great pick - he does Classic Leon style w this tune. I agree w another comment re the drum line (add thatvthe mix may have added to this) but Leon does a first class job - as he always did/does. Proud to have been a listener/fan of his/music-voice-style, since age 11 in 1970. Enjoyed this more than I can say. Thank you

So much respect for the talent of Leon Russell. With that said... it's actually Nicky Hopkins who played piano for the Stones. Another great musician whose style influenced some of the best music in rock history.

Love me some Leon; frim way back. Wish he'd tour

top notch Leon, top notch.

Nice Leon, love you always!

My first album was a double album by Leon Russell,rip brother

Leon Russell became one of my favorite musicians when my girlfriend, Marlette, now deceased, sadly enough, introduced me to him back in the 80's. I like. All his music. I just got to see him in Ft Worth on my birthday at Willie's 4th off July picnic. Great day and night. Willie put on a good one too at the end of the night.

Very best version.

Thanks for posting this. Leon Russell also played piano for Frank Sinatra, Joe Cocker (Mad Dogs and Englishmen), and was part of George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh band. He even got a mention in Frank Zappa's 200 Motels in which Martin Lickert (playing Jeff Simmons) in referring to Larry The Dwarf (played by Ringo Starr) says: "We got quite a little drummer in this dwarf here; He used to play drums for Leon Russell."

Beautiful song by a beautiful man.

best version.. perfect for him

GREAT!

Never heard this before Love it !!!!!!!

I grew up with Leon-Now I'm a woman who's convinced he's a charm-forever and always-love lisa h.

One of my favorite singer/song writers.

RIP Leon Russell

He is absolute unique.

Thanks! Can't get enough of this song by Leon Russel. Finally inducted him to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Thanks Elton. Nice job with the slide show job.

This is the first time I heard his version of this tune. He did a nice job.

I loved Leon's version of this excellent song after about 5 seconds. I didn't need to listen any further. Leon can sing just about any song. (Swoons)

Great job love the song enjoyed this cover Thanks for posting

LEON IS IN MY SOUL

❤❤ what a terrific song, by one of the greatest of all singers ! ❤❤

Tonight (11:16 PM, Nov. 3,'22) I discovered this Leon Russell version. I like it! With the saxophone it reminds me a little bit of another 80s favorite, Glenn Frey's "The One You Love." By the way, Leon Russell's is the ONLY celebrity autograph I own.

Gracias León !!! 😍😍😍

Thank you so much been playing this for years since you hit it

Leon Russell is going into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in a category that used to be called Sidemen. He was part of the Shindogs, the house band on the 1964-66 TV show "Shindig!". In fact, he is one of 2 "Shindig!" regulars going in this year. Darlene Love, who sang with the house girl group the Blossoms, is the other. A song he is famous for writing is "A Song For You". One of the most recent versions of it is by another 2011 RRHoF inductee, Neil Diamond, released on his 2010 album, "Dreams".

sounds so jazzy, love it

I love this version of it. I love the song anyway but had no idea Mr. Russell covered it and I lived in Tulsa then. You think a hometown boy would get more airplay! David Gates always did.

great!!!!
