Leon Russell (born Claude Russell Bridges, April 2, 1942) is an American musician and songwriter, who has recorded as a session musician, sideman, and maintained a solo career in music.
Born in Lawton, Oklahoma, United States, Russell began playing piano at the age of four. He attended Will Rogers High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Also at Will Rogers High School were Anita Bryant, who was one year older, and in the same 1959 class, David Gates. Russell and Gates played and recorded together as the Fencement. A few years younger, also at Will Rogers, was Elvin Bishop. At this time Russell was already performing at Tulsa nightclubs. After moving to Los Angeles, he became a session musician, working as a pianist on the recordings of many notable musical artists from the 1960s. By the late 1960s, Russell diversified, becoming successful as an arranger and songwriter. As a musician, he worked his way up from gigs as a sideman to well-known performers. By 1970, he had graduated to solo recording artist, although he never ended his previous roles within the music industry. After performing country music under the name Hank Wilson in the 1970s and 1980s, Russell had largely faded into obscurity. He re-emerged in 2010 when Elton John called on him to record an album that became The Union. The album brought renewed popularity to Russell who has since released a solo album and toured around the world.
Joe Dolan (born 27 May 1980 in Southwark) is an English semi-professional footballer, who plays as a defender. He is a former professional footballer who played at Football League level for Millwall, Stockport County, Brighton and Hove Albion and Leyton Orient.
Dolan started his career as a trainee at Chelsea before moving onto Millwall where he was a first team regular for them before breaking his leg. When he returned he never reproduced the form that got him in the first team before the injury and went on loan to Crawley Town, Stockport County and Brighton and Hove Albion.
In July 2005, he signed for Leyton Orient but that did not work out and was soon out on loan again to Stockport County and Fisher Athletic.
Canvey Island signed him in January 2006 where he spent the remainder of the season before Francis Vines signed him in July 2006. Dolan left Basingstoke Town in October 2009 to rejoin Francis Vines at Isthmian Premier side Carshalton Athletic. In February 2010 Dolan joined Isthmian Division One South side Croydon Athletic. In November 2010 Dolan joined Isthmian Premier side Cray Wanderers. Dolan joined Kingstonian in December. In March 2011 Joe was dual registered at Lewes FC in the Conference South, before eventually joining Bromley FC. After joining Staines on a short term deal, he moved on to Havant & Waterlooville F.C. in February 2012. On 28 April 2012, Dolan scored an injury time winner against his previous club, Staines Town to save Havant and Waterlooville from relegation.

Song: 'Lady Blue' Artist/Composer: Leon Russell Album: 'Will O' the Wisp' This beautiful song reached #14 on US Billboard, #18 on the Adult Contemporary charts in Canada. Such a romantic song, perfectly balanced (to me). From Leon Russell's album 'Will O' the Wisp', certified Gold.
Colonia - Lady Blue Vjetar me lomi, drhtim sva, Miris zime, osjecam ga, Suza u oku stoljecima, Ii mam snage za još korak ili dva. I još malo i nestat cu kao prah, Bio si moja voda, moj zrak, Tlo po kojem hodam i umirem za tebe. Lady, lady, lady blue, Uvijek si šaputao na mom jastuku dok spavam, Lady, lady, lady blue, Zauvijek tvoja u dobru i u zlu... Ljubav je igra sad vidim i znam, Koliko dobijem, toliko dam, Al' u toj igri ja uvijek gubim, Mozda zato što previše ljubim. I još malo i nestat cu kao prah, Bio si moja voda, moj zrak, Tlo po kojem hodam i umirem za tebe.

Another excerpt from the 1971 "Homewood Sessions" featuring Leon Russell and a few good friends such as Don Nix and Furry Lewis. Furry can be seen several times throughout the video. This song is, in many people's opinion, one of the finest ballads ever written. I agree! From the video, Leon Russell & Friends - "Homewood Sessions" Live at Vine Street Theater, Hollywood, California, USA. -or- "Vine Street Theater presents Homewood" Originally aired in 1971 on PBS, actually KCET in Los Angeles at the Vine Street Theater on Hollywood and Vine, a theater with a little studio in the back part of the building, which is not there anymore. They shot 6 hours, but only broadcast 1 hour, unscripted and unrehearsed. It was the first national "stereo" rock-and-roll TV broadcast - that's...

In this out take from the film, Leon Russell talks about his days as part of the Wrecking Crew in an interview from 2013. Also included in the video are Hal Blaine, Cher, Larry Levine, and Tommy Tedesco.
A near complete conversation with Leon Russell recorded in September 2014 by Honolulu, Hawaii radio host Dave Lawrence.
As a songwriter, Leon's songs have hit the charts across all genres and have been covered by a diverse range of artists. Ray Charles recorded 'A Song For You', B.B. King had a hit with 'Hummingbird', The Carpenters with 'Superstar' and Joe Cocker with 'Delta Lady'. The Carpenter's cover of "Superstar", written by Leon and Bonnie Bramlett, went to #2 on the pop music charts. George Benson won the "Record of the Year" Grammy in 1976 for his cover of Leon's song, "This Masquerade", and it became the first song in music history to hit #1 on the jazz, pop and R&b; charts.
As a life long fan, it was a thrill for me to interview the legendary Leon Russell aboard his tour bus before a show at the Woodstock Opera House in Woodstock, Illinois, in 2003. I also had the opportunity to speak with his lovely and talented daughters Sugaree and Tina Rose. I've seen Leon dozens of times over the past 35 years and it has been quite satisfying to see his triumphant resurgence this past year (with special thanks to Sir Elton John), as well as his recent, if belated, election to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Thanks also to Mike Preston, friend and host of Pyscho Babble for providing the video. Enjoy!
Re-released trailer for the documentary A Poem Is a Naked Person, which screened at SXSW. An ineffable mix of unbridled joy and vérité realism, A Poem Is A Naked Person presents the beloved singer-songwriter and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Leon Russell as filmed by documentarian Les Blank between 1972 & 1974. Blank's camera lets us into the world of Russell and his friends and fellow artists in and around his recording studio in NE Oklahoma, capturing intimate, off-the-cuff moments and combining them with mesmerizing scenes of Russell and his band performing live. This singular film about an artist and his community never got an official theatrical release and has attained legendary status; now after more than forty years it can finally be seen and heard in all its rough beauty.
