9. He is amazing and I always thought he was one the best keyboard players and singer song writers around
I saw him quite a few times here in New Orleans,
Ya'll know a lot of his music but more thank likely don't even know it.

11. Leon Russell rocks! He's a seriously gifted singer/songwriter/musician...sorry about the beef with the ex, but Leon's music is wonderful, and I'll always enjoy his work.

13. If you are making negative comments just to be cute .. you're not suceeding ..

Leon does in fact live in Nashville though at one time .. probably when he was married to Mary .. he did live in Tulsa .. He just completed a swing through about 10-12 shows in California. He remains as one of the best acts out there who have not been elected to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame .. the election process for that should be investigated .. (since when was Madonna ever a Rock N Roll act ?) .. I could spend pages on here giving Leon's credits and still not have touched all of them. But he has recorded with Willie Nelson, Frank Sinatra, the Beach Boys, and on and on ..

The small amount of sales for the albums in question are low because of one reason. Until very recently, all of the albums he made on his very own Paradise Record label were never released on CD .. and the way I read that, her claim was for half of the amount which was stated as being $75,000 ... One thing about it, she won't be able to fairly get anything from one of his latest albums released last year .. "Angels in Disguise" .. If you want a great album from a performer who was and is still a musical genuis, order it from his website ... www.leonrussellrecords.com

15. Ohhhh seventy five thou schmevendee five thou. Leon Russell could put out a song and it would go top ten today. I'm a former reporting music director for Radio & Records Magazine. He should do it. He's so amazing. I've seen him in concert. With Willie Nelson years ago. He is aweSOME and then some. Neon Leon, WORD, lay somepin' on these young folk and blow they'ze mindz. Keep puttin' out to the last breath Leon. The world would be a better place for it.
