A Song For You, Leon Russell 1970
"A Song for You" is a song written and originally recorded by rock singer and pianist Leon Russell for his first solo album Leon Russell, which was released in 1970 on Shelter Records. A slow, pained plea for forgiveness and understanding from an estranged lover, the tune is one of Russell's best-known compositions.
This song is dedicated to all Dads, past and present! Happy Father's Day to all loving and understanding fathers of our world!!! Peace and love!!! https://youtu.be/uTvDcEhB2jY |

Show off!!!!! 😹😂😹.
Rene, you do tremendous work and that’s great because you push me to want to do better. And my feelings for Russel? Well… Here’s an excerpt from my poem “it’s just a shell” where I meet Leon in the afterlife. Though he struck a different kind of string Old Leon will be there With his mirrored aviators and his snow white beard and hair

Hi Chickee, You are a very talented poet! Your words are very well crafted, very original. I like them for the simplicity, and everyday words, which make this verse truly lovable. "mirrored aviators", I have one. "snow-white beard, will not be able to compete with his!!! Leon Russel is a true legend, and a musical genius! Love your comments. Respectfully, Rene |
