Dan Fogelberg Tribute Cover -- Leader of the Band 

Jay Hennessy : You did a beautiful job. This is one of the best covers of this timeless, immortal classic. Dan Fogelberg's song "Leader Of The Band" has touched the hearts and souls and lives of millions of people all around the globe. For the past week, I've been watching dozens of covers of this song from all over the world; from people who can barely speak English; but this song has touched their hearts and souls. So far, only one person has murdered this song...Luci Arnaz, and she can sing. She's the daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. You have done a great job of covering this song. If I could get a guitar and learn to play it, I'll play this song all day long. Thank you for uploading this cover to RU-vid.

Wow amazing!!!! Dan is smiling down from heaven when he hears you sing!!!

I love this song so much. Brings back my memories of my college years. What a sensitive person Fogelberg was... He touched so many with his art and feelings

Tears come to my eyes every time I listen to this song. Dan was a great musician, composer and lyricist. We are all living his legacy.

Hey man, this is great! I've always loved this song. Your version is both touching and professional. D.F. would be proud.

The Best cover ive ever heared....Wow!

There are folks who play and sing cover songs than there are others who master it. You have mastered the essence of Dan Fogelberg in all of your tributes. Thanks.

absolutely beautiful! spot on!

Beautiful, Beautiful voice! Awesome!

Jay, as I have told you before, this is the "best " cover of this Dan classic that anyone has ever done. Enjoy your music!

Beautiful. Closest cover to Dan Fogelberg's original. Your voice is amazingly similar to his.

“If I’d only been allowed to write one song…”❤

You nailed it my friend!! What an awesome job!! Love it!!

Tengo 60 años,esta canción es la que más he escuchado en mi vida.muchas versiones,pero la tuya es magnífica.

Wow !! I AM impressed brother. You don't have a good voice...... you have a GREAT voice.

Well done! I play it almost exactly the same, but your voice is much better than mine. I have to tune down to hit the high notes.

The Best Cover By Far Great job man, greetings from London @1973nitram Wow, great compliment. Thank you!

This is lovely Jay and I'm glad I found you doing it here. I just posted a version and notice you off to the right and had to take a listen. I use to play this song in coffee houses back in the 80's and 90's and just picked it back up after years of not playing it. You've got a new fan here! Mark

wow very good cover love it!

Awesome cover!!! LOVE the sign behind you "I AM MUSIC" You certainly are, you have to be to sing this song as well as you do...

Wow!!!

Excellent job

Nice voice...

Did you you figure out these tabs on your own? Or did you find them somewhere? If so, would you mind sharing?

Thanks man.

@sbbinahee Beautiful job man. Great singing voice, truly great... Thank you so much! Jay

nice

Great sound, man

Awww...beautiful. Listening to several different covers, and unfortunately, when the singing starts, I cringe. You certainly do the song justice :)

Awesome job as usual... I've been playing DF stuff for 20 years I guess, but not as well as you! Hey, if you're in Nashville, I'd love to get together and trade songs.

♥️

Name the time!
