Today is the anniversary of Leon’s death, November 13, 2016.
Here’s where it began — Leon was sixteen years old in this KOTV photo from the 1958 March of Dimes Telethon. Left to right, Tommy Crook, drummer Chuck Blackwell, Jimmy ‘Junior’ Markham, Bill Raffensperger and (Leon) Claude Russell Bridges.

Leon Russell will always be the one and only visionary and musical magician, The Master of Space and Time, and we’re still mourning him.
A Song For You is one of the most beautiful and iconic songs ever composed and no one can perform it like Leon.
Rest in peace, power, and music.
