Wow too incredible musicians I forgot about David Gates he's incredible voice of bread I forgot all about him until I was watching a special about Leon Russell those two played together way back in the late 50s I guess they're both gone now Leon was incredible he played with everybody he was the master he was the musicians musician everybody wanted to play with Leon
guessing where it says in the credits "orchestrations by-" those are the musicians performing on the recording, and that Leon is not playing the piano here? figure it says "music by Leon Russel" meaning he just gets credit for arranging and writing, but they used some concert orchestra to perform the music in the studio...
Love this song, great track. drums and claps by Gary Busey, and all other instruments played by Claude aka Leon it says in the credits. great vocals by Mary. love this track, mellow jam groovy smooth ATX yacht psychedelic disco rock style
Gary Busey, a fellow Texan, also known by his early performing stage name on an Oklahoma TV program as Teddy Jack Eddy, he introduced Leon Russel to Barbara Streissand, and Leon wrote a song that was included in Streissand's oscar and grammy award winning film A Star is Born!
Denny Cordell was also the initial reason Tom Petty got screwed over with the contracts. he made Tom sign a deal for a fat wad of cash in Oklahoma, "gas money to get to LA", and then he sold their contract to MCA, and then the troubles started with the Damn the Torpedoes album and Century city and bankruptcy.
I saw this group at the Oakland Coliseum with the Elvin Bishop Group and Loggins & Messina. That was a great show. Probably same year 1973 my senior year in HS.
took me a long time to start learning about "Leon" Russel. I feel I've really started to go back to school on his impact on so many other musicians. so many people he recorded with. your channel is a fantastic compass pointing in the right direction
