Leon Redbone appeared out of the ether, fully formed, as a time traveler, showing us that who we are, is who we were. Then, once he saw he had secured the music's immortality, he slipped back into the eternal plane from whence he came.
MrYourekiddingme That is such a lovely comment.. thank you.. your eloquence is delightful.
Absolutely. Totally invented himself, and was "very secretive" about his origins and personal life. Bonnie Raitt said - "The Best Vocal Tone and Guitar playing" of anyone she knew. That's pretty high praise. RIP Leon.
Well put.
Like a cool breeze.❤️🌺RIP🎶
Very well said my friend! The other day I came across an avid/rabid fan's DISGUST AT "REST IN PEACE" underneath yet another "moved elsewhere or into somebody else" - QUIT POSTING THIS SENTIMENTAL TWADDLE HE WROTE, I COULD HEAR HIS PEN SHOUT- his thoughts were like yours, ours- might have been David Ziggy Stardust Bowie- also a cosmic force to be reckoned with- or Jimi Hendrix- there he was in beaded suede, replete with fringe and a "bottleneck" on one finger, saying "hey mama where's my guitar...No, I don't want my soother! Point me to England"...or some such jive. The child was right! If I visualize Leonard Cohen "as deceased" my fantasies would be like those of Art Garfunkel's, "Alex" in Bad Timing, a great Ken Russell, also "left early" playing for FREE on CZcams! Check it out all you "disgusting, disturbed perverts" that's one one idiot, he's entitled to his opinion wrote of the "plot" which SPOILER has a semi-necrophile scene, as my erstwhile fantasies of dear Mr. Cohen would be- VERY UNCOOL. GARDEN VARIETY BORE TYPICAL BOURGEOIS HERE, nothing kinky...I digressed, for those who are here digging a Very Cool Cat watch the film and tell me is it not an early Christmas gift? She Teresa Russell's character, sadly, is rather like me...Much better looking but overall she let her "inner Holly Golightly out- and the action takes place in Vienna and sigh, Ken Russell's fantastic brain, a "trip" without a pill. Like Leon Redbone's music, a trip that is habit forming but SAFE. You might even learn something along the way...Namaste ( PUTIN!!!! You S.O.B. KNOCK IT OFF or STOP KNOCKING PRECIOUS HUMANS OFF- CHILL YOU MISERABLE, PITIFUL EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN AND DIG LEON OR DANCE!!! ) sorry I rarely get political but last night my hubby told me of yet another vile attack and merde! Merde, merde, merde! Watch the movie I mentioned. Read a Holy Book of your choice. Read Bugs Bunny- like the above cartoon reference, Warner Bros in their Golden Years! Time for David Bowie and Marianne Faithfull as a nun...
He sat in a chair by a table with a lamp and lit a cigar and sipped a glass of wine as if he was in his own living room and sang this among many others 45 years ago. We all loved every minute of it.
If Leon were any cooler he'd have to be stored in a deep freezer. RIP, Sir and thank you so much for blessing my earholes with your unique talent. It's now 2024 and the world is basically a powder keg waiting to explode but listening to these gems puts my mind at ease, if only for a while.
well said
My dad passed away suddenly yesterday. You were one of his favorite artists. Enjoying your music in Dad's memory.
Every man's brother and every lady's friend .. Leon was an enigma .. of the kindest kind .. a truly gentle soul. Rest easy always.
Leon passed away today. God speed, brother. You were one of a kind, artistic in every way. Thanks for the memories.
Dude, I was wondering if he was still with us. What got him.
@@michaelmcneely6143 Wikipedia reports his demise in 2019 as being from dementia. Very sad.
Just discovered Mr Redbone and am smitten. Discovering Mr Redbone at aged 66 is better late than never I guess. Listening to him constantly for the past few days has been blissful. What a character and what a talent. He transports me back to a gentler time and place. RIP and thank you sincerely Mr Redbone.
My mother loved him so I was exposed to him early & have loved him as well ever since. All his music especially the Xmas songs were instant classics 🥰🎶🎵
I'm about your age, Paul (I'm 66 now), and I once got to hear him live in Mishawaka, Indiana back in the early 80s. He had a way of getting people up dancing! Diddy Wah Diddy is the one that sticks in my mind.
A certain class of us people loved this man. He knew how to relax and kick back..and didn't ever play in a second class situation...he was always 1st rate.. 1st class. RIP sir.
I was just a little kid of five or six when I first heard this guy, and I've dug his sound for fifty odd years now.
That's just proof that good tunes last.
As sweet, slow, and cool as the bubbles in my beer. Love this man’s music.
I absolutely agree with you, best explanation of the effects Leon’s singing!!
R.I.P. Mr. Redbone...you had a style that doesn't exist anymore...Terriffic!
having the thrill of seeing Leon in person 4X during my life, have all his records and can duplicate all his recordings, guess i'm a fan!
Loved Leon from the beginning on SNL. He lived about 2 hours away from me in Pa. His birth name was Dickran Gobalian and sang the song for the Mr. Belvedere and Harry and the Hendersons TV shows. Redbone was elusive about his origins, and never explained the origin of his stage name. He was born in Cyprus to Armenian parents. While living in Canada in the late 1960s, Redbone began performing in public at Toronto area nightclubs and folk music festivals. He met Bob Dylan at the Mariposa Folk Festival in 1972. Dylan was so impressed by Redbone's performance that he mentioned it in a Rolling Stone interview, leading that magazine to do a feature article on Redbone a year before he had a recording contract. The article described his performances as "so authentic you can hear the surface noise of an old 78 rpm." Dylan said that if he had ever started a label, he would have signed Redbone. I like that Dylan liked him as well. RIP Leon, me and Bob miss you.
thanks so much for my being able to discover this lovely "obituary" this morning, as I am re-discovering my old love for Mr. Gobalian!
Yeah, he is missed very much. We are lucky to have so many of his recordings.
Taking me back to some of the best bits of my life. Still listening forty years later because magic doesn't happen as often as I would wish.
A moment of silence for the king of cool.
Good bye Leon. Thanks for sharing your talent over the years.
Well put Joe.
Kept Ragtime alive!
Well said Joe, a loss :(
amen
I first watched him on SNL in 1975. Have enjoyed his music ever since. I will miss him terribly, but his music will live on.
Been listening for over 30 yrs. My parrot loves this CD. We will miss you my dear sweet blues guy
Heaven just go a whole lot of awesome with your talent
@@waybackplayback1347 Yes Cal loves to whistle to his songs
And dance too
The world is a little less cool today. Thank you Mr. Redbone. Tip of the hat to you, sir.
great comment
@@60panhead1 ....no pal...great fn numbah!!!! lolololol
I’ve tried to explain to people countless times, and it’s actually a very simple formula. Beach+Joint+Rebone=Bliss.
A man who knew the sweet spot and played it directly and correctly.
Thank you Mr. Redbone for preserving early ragtime and jazz history and for your wonderful arrangements.You shall not be forgotten.
I've loved this man's voice since I first heard it. He wreaks of masculinity and I fell in love with his easy, laid back voice and style! Leon Redbone you totally ROCK!
well said
Absolutely. Masculine but not macho. So attractive.
Mr. Redbone....I know that the road has been long. But I want you to know that your music has made MY road a lot easier. THANK YOU
thanks for that.
red harley,
Perfect Eulogy Red,
I bought Leon's albums in the 80's and finally got to see him in our small home town. It was perfect.
great comment, thanks
Mr. Redbone was unique, with a special style and that made him standout.
A little piece of me has died too. Thank you for making the world a more whimsical and better place.
I couldn't have said it better myself!
"If there's a heaven, I'll bet they've got a helluva band." Leon Redbone was one of a kind.
Thank you for the music...
RIP, to one of the most wonderfully easy-listening, enigmatic musicians since...forever.🎸🎻🕶
R.I.P. Mr. Redbone. Great music over the years. Surely one-of-a-kind musician! We'll miss you.
On this track let's not overlook the great Joe Venuti who, back in the early 1930s, made some of the very greatest ever ragtime/hot jazz duets with his friend the pioneering guitarist Eddie Lang. If you enjoy Leon Redbone, seek out the jazz masters from the '30s -- like he did.
I'm just starting to (and enjoying!) get into Leon Redbone's incredible music, although it was something I should have done 45+ years ago. I think it was around '76 or '77 when a dear friend of mine told me he was going on tour with Mr. Redbone and would be gone for some time. I didn't have a clue who Colin was playing with & at the time was into prog rock, so Leon & his music went by the wayside. My apologies to Colin & the late Mr. Redbone as I am now realizing what I had missed for all those years.
Fantastic!!!!! Makes me want to do an old soft-shoe with a cane and top hat. One of my all-time favorites. Thanks for posting!
I am so sad to hear you passed, Mr. Redbone. This has to be my alltime fave of your's. Peace to you. You made the world a better place.
One of the first Albums I ever owned. We will miss you Leon
I bought it when it came out long ago. K
Nothing as good as this music in ages. Thank you Leon Redbone for the great memories.
Rest peacefully old soul....you made music better.
Cool as the other side of the pillow!!! (RIP Stuart Scott)
jonathon reardon Amen , brother.
If you’re attributing that line to Mr. Scott, you’re incorrect. It originated from a Monday Night Football telecast when “Dandy” Don Meredith said it about Joe Montana. But, it was also true about Mr Redbone. RIP Sir.
What a great comment.
Taught my son by your song now he is 38 and taught it to his children. Thanks for that memory.
Ah, Leon, I have enjoyed your music live and recorded for many decades now. Always a pleasure to listen to you. You will be greatly missed. Thanks for keep this wonderful music alive.
It don't get no better than Leon laying it down he will be missed RIP Leon Redbone
bye , leon. nice having you come visit for a while. hope to see you next time back :)
Loved this guy. One of the coolest singers ever.
My first Leon album. RIP and say hi to the gang.
RIP Mr. Redbone, great to see such an out pouring of love for you.
One of my favorite all-time performers. Rest in peace Leon and God bless everyone
When my daughter was a toddler, she thought LR's name was Neon Headbone. That name has stuck with our family now. :) We love Leon/Neon over here in Asheville NC.
One of my all time favorites! Started listening to him in the early 70's!!! Forever a fan!
Back in the seventies our local cable company had a music show on Saturday night. Just a picture of the albums, they would play the hole recording.
Great then. Not now.😮
I remember seeing Leon when I was a kid, thought he was ancient in 1979. Always a generation ahead of me, yet somehow I always stepped into the world of Redbone, never understanding how great he was.
Just saw he passed after some struggles with dementia. Feel like a small part of me passed as well, a good part. Suppose we are all passing, little by little, but What beautiful music he made for us..
R.I.P. Leon , you made this mad house a better place.
PEACE 🎸🎵🎶
R.I.P. Leon Redbone, I was always a fan
More often than not, the roaring twenties could be downright smooth and mellow.
Walkin Stick and Ain't Misbehavin are my favorites (and Lazy Bones).
Fair thee well, Brother Leon. We'll miss you.
I lost my Dad three years ago back in March. We didn't get to spend much time together for most of my adult life, but when we got back together after many years apart, he was in his late 60's, I was in my early 30s, we found we both had your full catalog of records...DNA, ain't it great! Thank you for all your wonderful music, it and of course you will always have a special place in my heart and my life. God speed and rest them "Lazy Bones"
What an awesome story.
My father didn't live long enough to even hear Mr Redbone... he would have loved this......
This man was magic !!!!!
R.I.P. Mr. Leon Redbone, thanks for the tunes
Many "tanks" foda memories Mr. Redbone , for dredging the wonderment of the 30's and 20's to all of us and even to yourself as well !! You be a true original .... Now it is time for us 60/70 year old folks to kick back wit a soft pillow on the rocker out on the porch in the late afternoon to snooze/relax... "snoozalax" ? ..... lifeisbutadream .....
Happy Birthday today(August 26) to Leon Redbone. Cheers!
68 Years Young
Thanks for sharing you special talent. So sad you passed. always loved your music and one of kind voice. R.I. P.
If only You could get yourself to the UK Leon. It would be a true honour to see you perform.
Mr. Redbone ever since your first appearance on SNL, I have appreciated and loved your voice and song styling.
You have been one bright light in a sometimes dark life, and it has been my pleasure to listen to your songs.
Thank you for your recordings and appearances on television, whenever you graced my viewing habits, it was with great joy.
first saw leon on saturday night live, a fan was born....
kls panhead yeah, me too! Just Leon and some guy on a tuba, HA!
Love him!!
Me to back in the late 70s
Same here! Instant fan! 🎸🎤💗
Me to
Me three.
Spent an evening with you at the catalyst in Santa Cruz in the 80s. The best fun ever, been a fan ever since. Thank you Leon.
Legendary talent. His versions of classic songs are timeless.
Yes, indeed
Thanks for the great memories of my youth.
May the Delta wash you away.
During my crazy days of New Wave, Punk, Hard and whatever rock I found great pleasure in Leon.
Leon, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for the music.
Always loved you and your music Leon. RIP
I used to get the giggles, visioning Leon checking into a hotel for a gig. "Hello Mr Redbone. Wecome back to the Chelsea. Your same room as usual?" And all yo'u'd hear back is that mumbly drone of his "mmmm yes....."
Miss you too Leon
You were here for reason beyond us knowing why it was
Saw you in concert and was blown away with your talent
Only got to enjoy Mr. Redbone's music via video, cassettes, CDs, and vinyl. You were blessed to see the man in person. God bless your parents. He is truly an iconic musician. God bless you Leon.
tom burns, I only got to see him live once, but it was a concert I'll never forget. He was opening for John Prine outdoors in Rock Creek Park in Washington D.C. (where in the park I don't remember except that it wasn't a permanent music venue, just a temporary stage in a field) and I was about 50-75 feet away. He sat in a big comfy chair made for a living room with a table next to him that held a lamp and a big ashtray. Pitch dark, outdoors and, my memory says, only the light of the lamp on him. He was as cool as cool can be, he sounded as wonderful as always and no matter how many songs he played, it wasn't enough.
RIP Leon. Bruh could roll some soulful tunes, yes.
CZcams admins! Please dedicate today to Leon Redbone!
RIP Leon, always enjoyed on the late night shows
Rest in Peace,,,124 years old...my man!
I fell in love the first time I saw him on Saturday Night Live. I was just out of High School
I thought he was handsome . Still do. was lucky enough to see him live, in a crowded bar in the flats in Cleveland. I was still in my 20's
Treasured memory
Mr. redbone always makes me get up and tap dance.
Missing you, Leon.
I owned this album...wore it out.
we will truly miss you ,for you are one of the greatest.
Best of wishes on Your journey onward Leon, thanks for all the good times.
Thank you Leon. You gave us so much joy and that is priceless.
I think God took him because he wanted Leon Redbone voice lessons. RIP Leon; you are for the ages.
Dedicated to me in 1982 from husband. My intro to Leon. Now have all music CDs and LP's.
Had the opportunity to see him play a tiny club in Woodstock N.Y. Back in the late eighties or early nineties....an absolutely fabulous showman and wonderful performer ....
I didn't know he had passed on loved his music for ova 30yrs we will see you at concert in the sky
Saw him a few times on johnny carson show. A man of class. MY favorite of his songs
Saw Leon when he came to England london at the new Vic in Victoria in the 70s been a fan since brought me so much peace and calm loved him loved his sounds god bless him
A classic piece of music performed by a very classy guy and from all accounts, a gentleman.
Too cool for school. Mr. Redbone was the smoothest also. Ragtime, Vaudville crossed to make his own unique genera. He was one of a kind. Rest in Cool, Leon Redbone. 😎
One of the few performers my late father and I enjoyed equally. Thank you for bringing back such pleasant memories. It's almost like he's sitting on the end of the couch, just while the music plays.
Bummed that your gone. You will be missed. On the track was the first Leon Redbone album my family owned. Still awesome after all these years
Love Leon love the music
I clicked on a "Mr. Belevedere" marathon, which reminded me how much I enjoy Leon. So here I am. :-))
Before I got old, I used to sing this song whenever I found a musician or band who knew it, and would let me sing along. :-D
Learned how to sing it watching Stormin' Norman and Sweet Suzie at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence Rhode Island.
You're not supposed to get old. STOP THAT !!!
:-)) Best advice ever! :-D Thank you.
I was hoping someone would mention Mr belvedere theme. That is a great song. Lets not forget Diddy wa Diddy. Cheers to you leon🍻
One of the finest practitioners of american music that ever existed.
This one and Champagne Charlie!
I found this man's music in the late 80's. I purchased all of it that I could find. You were missed when you quit recording a few years ago, but now it is a final play of all the tunes just to remember that grand baritone voice! May God enjoy your music as much as I have!
Well Verner thanks for making me cry. Mr Redbone, I won't say RIP either but add my wishes to Verner's that your wonderful music and voice will give pleasure to the One who created you as you sing to Him, and that you never run out of songs or music...somehow I don't think that will happen. ❤️
Seen him on SNL in the 70's while in my mid 20's my parents laughed at me like I was an idiot, since they were a product of the 1920's and were very ignorant and uneducated. Sure they meant well but very stupid as well, my 32 year old daughter loves the Beatles who were around well before she was. That was thanks to me her loving dad.
On The Track: bought the vinyl when vinyl ruled. Leon still rules, always will...class, talent and quirky individuality. Miss you. Thank you even more.
Gone but never forgotten
. Timeless
