Default 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!!!

Nice job on that Rene. Great song choice that fits your vibe. That’s a tough song to cover and you did it proud. Well done. Mike

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

Hi Nate,
Mine is not a Reyn's, but for an islander eye like yours, noticing my Hawaiian shirt, I am real happy to hear it!
Aloha, and stay calm. Play guitar, and make good music!!!
Rene
