The ultimate rock & roll session man, Leon Russell's long and storied career includes collaborations with a virtual who's who of music icons spanning from Jerry Lee Lewis to Phil Spector to the Rolling Stones. A similar eclecticism and scope also surfaced in his solo work, which couched his charmingly gravelly voice in a rustic yet rich swamp pop fusion of country, blues, and gospel.
Leon played on, produced, arranged and wrote some of rock 'n' roll's most successful and important records. George Benson's cover of "This Masquerade" (which was named "Record of the Year" and won a Grammy in 1976), written by Leon, was the first song in music history to occupy the No. 1 spot on jazz, pop and R&B charts.
Leon released 4 Gold Albums and had a hand in many other chart hits including "Superstar," and a "A Song For You." He was instrumental in some of Joe Cocker's biggest hits, including, perhaps, the defining song of Joe Cocker's career, "Delta Lady," written by Leon. The Carpenters struck gold with Leon's song "Superstar," Ray Charles covered "A Song For You," and B.B. King covered "Hummingbird." Leon Russell is pop music's most anonymous big shot.
In 2001, Leon once again began wearing the hat of record label owner with the launching of Leon Russell Records. His first release on his own label was 'Signature Songs'. Further releases included 'Guitar Blues','Hymns Of Christmas' and "Moonlight & Love Songs' to name a few. In 2008, he released 'In Your Dreams' which includes 12 new original songs by Leon.
