Rene Asologuitar Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 "A Song for You" is a song written and originally recorded by rock singer and pianist Leon Russell for his first solo album Leon Russell, which was released in 1970 on Shelter Records. A slow, pained plea for forgiveness and understanding from an estranged lover, the tune is one of Russell's best-known compositions. This song is dedicated to all Dads, past and present! Happy Father's Day to all loving and understanding fathers of our world!!! Peace and love!!!https://youtu.be/uTvDcEhB2jY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveCoscia Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Last October, while driving east on I-40, I crossed the Texas border into western Oklahoma. No long thereafter, I stopped at a Pilot Travel Center for fuel and coffee. I stopped in my tracks after entering the Pilot building because there was an old Leon Russell song on their PA. The tune was Tight Rope - hadn't heard it in decades. I just stood there mesmerized by the lyrics and quirky rhythm. Then it hit me..... LEON RUSSELL IS FROM OKLAHOMA! Filled with new energy and excitement, I created a Leon Russell playlist when I returned to my truck. Leon and coffee kept me going into Arkansas. Driving east, I thought about my first band audition in 1976. The band leader handed me a lead sheet for This Masquerade and that was my audition. Got the gig. Loved playing that tune. Leon Russell - such a unique talent. 1 Quote Steve Coscia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
