In 1984, Leon Russell Released His Version Of This Classic Song Originally Performed By Danny O'Keefe In 1972. Elvis And Charlie Rich Have Also Recorded It....But Nothing Quite Like This Non-Charting Version By Multi-Talented Leon Russell. Good Time Charlie Gets A "Light Rock" Make-Over Along With Great Backing Vocals And A Superb Saxophone. I Suppose We Could Do Without The Drum Machine...But Hey, It Was The 80's! You can also hear this great song on kvkvi.com radio.

His music never ages.....there is something very special about him. I love his version of this song.

@charlespomroy2799 3 года назад

Leon, must have left them all overwhelmed and scared, So they used him up and kicked him to the curb.

it's bad when made and stays bad.

@dammitboy3576 7 лет назад

Man that voice. This dude is good I tell ya. My most favorite performer, singer, song writer producer. This guy did it all.

@josephbarone6712 Год назад

Let's not forget about what a great addition Bobby Keys made to this song. One of the best rock sax players of all times.

@billlawlor4858 9 лет назад

As usual for Leon Russell, another classic arrangement. What an artist!

@DawnMcKenziePlus 4 года назад

Don't know why this song didn't chart. I think he does a fantastic job. I listen to it over and over.

@michaelyunkelo1757 Год назад

I too find it hard to understand why it didn't chart. Just a beautiful song.

@michaelyunkelo1757 Год назад

My favorite version of this song!! Love his voice... So relaxing.

@michaelyunkelo1757 Год назад

Also my moms nick name from my step father was Charlie. This song really brings back memories of them.

@hughwilliams7870 11 лет назад

Saw Leon and Mary at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta sometime around 1975-1976. Needless to say, he rocked the house. Somehow, it all seems like yesterday and, then again, it seems like a lifetime ago. A Million Thanks, Leon, for all the great songs and music you've given us over the years. You're one of the greatest!

@CarolAnnNapolitano 9 лет назад

I was the only one of my friends in 1970 that listen to Leon Russell, heard Tight Rope and fell in love with this great, great, man!

@walkerstradley6973 4 года назад

I did exactly the same thing! A new world opened up for me...Leon, the Beatles, SRV you can count the great ones on one hand

@daffodils077 4 года назад

Oh yes.....Soo miss him

@dantujunga1953 11 лет назад

I like the intro and love this version of this song by far the best. That sax is great.

@liesdamnliesandstatsweird1934 8 лет назад

Leon was ridiculously handsome, ridiculously intoxicating, and ridiculously sexy back in the day. His voice alone is sexy. He's still an amazing singer, musician, and showman. Leon has always been effortlessly gracious and humble. He's a gentleman and a half. I am glad that I am getting into his music while he is still among us. Leon Russell will be mourned and missed when God calls him out of this life. Peace and blessings.

@JD-ku6vd 3 года назад

Just beautiful…..rip Leon.

@tswrench 4 года назад

I once heard Sir Elton John say of Leon's prowess on piano, "Leon Russell could play circles around me." I knew Leon was good--real good--but that was a revelation.

@wandamundy1759 2 года назад

Elton John had also said that he knew he wanted to "play" piano - but he wanted to BE Leon Russell.

@BrentMFisher 2 года назад

2015, 2016 and 2017 were hard years. We lost so many of the greatest musician/artist to ever Grace this earth. They're not coming back around either.......the way history sometimes repeats itself. Gone but not forgotten. The artist and musician Leon Russell. Love Forever ~ kimie

@rosheaschouviller1738 7 лет назад

@joanpruett 11 лет назад

Leon Russell became one of my favorite musicians when my girlfriend, Marlette, now deceased, sadly enough, introduced me to him back in the 80's. I like. All his music. I just got to see him in Ft Worth on my birthday at Willie's 4th off July picnic. Great day and night. Willie put on a good one too at the end of the night.

@bethbartlett5692 9 лет назад

So much respect for the talent of Leon Russell. With that said... it's actually Nicky Hopkins who played piano for the Stones. Another great musician whose style influenced some of the best music in rock history.

@charliehecht8401 9 лет назад

Leon has that distinct twaaang to his voice that's unmistakable! I saw him live when he was hangin round with Joe Cocker back in the early 70's at "Pirates World" in Hollywood, Florida. He wore a black Top Hat on stage that night. Wow! I am old! My favorite Leon Russell song of all time is "A Song for You"! Thanks Mike!

@bethbartlett5692 9 лет назад

A great pick - he does Classic Leon style w this tune. I agree w another comment re the drum line (add thatvthe mix may have added to this) but Leon does a first class job - as he always did/does. Proud to have been a listener/fan of his/music-voice-style, since age 11 in 1970. Enjoyed this more than I can say. Thank you
