I've just been listening to "Carney". It's a favorite album of mine because of the sensitivity and genius of Leon Russell. Does anybody else feel the same about him?
A friend and I hitch-hiked over 100 miles to see him perform in Madison, Wisconsin, in the early '70s. I was 16 or 17 years old. No problem getting there, or back. One of the best concerts I attended. "Carney" is my favorite too.
i've always admired his talent, but never was a huge fan--for some reason he reminded me of schroeder, from charliebrown. however, "song for you", hummingbird" and "superstar" are three of the prettiest songs in the english language, so you gotta give him his props.
