U know a ton of obscure people who are dying

A huge influence on Elton John.

Sad to see another member of the Wrecking Crew pass.

He played on scores of hit songs in the 60's before embarking on a successful solo career.

Song For You makes me cry every time.

Glad I saw him at Knucks' a few years back. Was supposed to play this month. too.

RIP

Mad Dogs and Englishman was recorded on my birthday in 1970.

Time to spin that double album today..

RIP Leon
