| 1428809 | 2016-11-15 22:05:00 | Another great musician gone: www.nytimes.com www.youtube.com I've been so many places in my life and time I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhymes I've acted out my life on stages With 10, 000 people watching But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you I know your image of me is what I hoped to be I treated you unkindly And darling can't you see There's no one more important to me Baby can't you see through me Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you You taught me precious secrets Of a true love, withholding nothing You came out in front and I was hiding Now I'm so much better And if my words don't come together Listen to the melody Cuz my love is in there hiding I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for my life You' re a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song to you |

| 1428811 | 2016-11-15 22:23:00 | Says more about you than him, sorry Greg, but it has to be said. Look at the people he has played with and the songs he has written. en.wikipedia.org Elton John, who had once been Russell's opening act, said "He was my biggest influence as a piano player, a singer and a songwriter. On hearing of Russell's death, he said "My darling Leon Russell passed away last night. He was a mentor, inspiration and so kind to me." John once recalled: "When Mr. Russell’s "Greatest Hits" album came on one day during the trip, I started to cry, it moved me so much. His music takes me back to the most wonderful time in my life, and it makes me so angry that he’s been forgotten". |

| 1428812 | 2016-11-16 03:42:00 | Wrote some great music but had a real croaky voice. So young to die. I liked "A song for you" sung by The Carpenters an Neil Diamond did a great version on his album "Dreams" Ken 😎 |
