- (PART 2 of 2) Elton John & Leon Russell on Good Morning America (10-20-10)
(TWO GREAT LEGENDS COME TOGETHER!!) Elton & Leon Promote thier New album Together "THE UNION" - Hudba
In 1971 my roommate at college turned me onto Leon Russell.. Listen to what Elton said about listening to Leon's music from back then that made him cry! If you were of this age and knew Leon as i did,....you cry now too! Thankyou Elton!
Elton John Leon Russell Thank ya'll for singing songs that bringing life into us Rest in Peace Leon miss ya ❤❤❤
I saw Leon 2 weeks before he passed. He was just as good as ever. He looked magnificent all dressed in white and when all the spot lights were on him he glowed i swear.
Not only are they fantastic musicians but they both have very beautiful, loving, generous & kind hearts & souls & thanks to Elton for bringing our beloved Leon💙 back to us before we lost him to heaven💔
It slays me when people take shots at giants, I try to see the positivity these gentlemen are putting out. So what if you don`t feel it. Why take the time to dis it?
Just marvelous. Leon Russell gone too soon. Thanks to you both for the great music.
I can always tell when Leon Russell has written the song.. hat Damn.
This was the most generous gesture that Sir Elton could have done for the world, but also for Leon.
Merci beaucoup.
I think Elton has a point, much of the human element is removed from popular music these days. I like this album because it's different. There is not many artists who have this much soul, grit, and humanity in their music. Great job Leon and Elton! PS they do not lip sync like some of these spoiled 20 year old pop singers--these guys are the real deal!
Legendary Leon! Your music always brightens my days. Miss you so.
RIP Leon Russell
Thank God for Elton and thank God, space and time for Leon.
There is music like this still out there. They call it 'oldies' now.
There is music like this still out there it is called REAL Music......
These two guys are sooo terrific. As a musician myself, they were very instrumental to me all the way back to 1970. I'm so glad they are doing this wonderful work.
Love both of these guys. Wish Leon was more in the spotlight though.
Ahhh. That Leon! Just amazing music.... 💕 🍸
Love, love, love Leon. Thank you Elton for bring him back to us!
Simple awesome and so wonderful.......
at mrwalterflynn....washed up has beens? What planet did your species originate? These are two of the greatest musicians to have ever graced a stage. Leon's work has shaped rock and roll as we know it! Elton is a class act.
Hearts Have Turned to Stone. Terrific! I didn't know Leon still had a great song like this in him. He's definitely the soul of The Union.
THE TRULY GREAT LEON RUSSELL .
That's me at 8:20! What a great show last night, and what a privilege to be able to be part of the audience this morning! Sadly, I will probably never again find myself sitting in the front row again.
thanks so much for uploading this. Elton really nailed Tiny Dancer. It's great to see all those smiling faces in the audience as he plays it. Great line from Leon-- "Now I have to get up early." Get The Union, but if possible, look for the double disc, which has the great "Mandalay Again," not on the single disc. It's a real classic.
Leon Russell is alive and well and still shocking the world with his music just like he's done from day one. Elton is the same but he kinda likes to shine his light on others who deserve it. God bless the light of Elton John
wow, so nice to see Elton doing this great music again! They sound great!
What a wonderful album it is!
The glow of cellphones has replaced the flicker of cigarette lighters from my concert going days, but, man, this guy still rocks my world (and my song), fantastic! Thanks,
revolvertonyd, much appreciated!
Thanks for this! I missed it! Ah I love Sir Elton John! He's the best! I'm gonna see him in concert in two weeks :D
Magical 🎩👓🎩
Elton is SUCH a legend!!!!
Famous ! thank you...
Truly awesome and beautiful these two giants of music being brought together - very emotional thank you guys 🥰
There are great Leon Russell videos on youtube. Try the ones from 1971 called Leon Russell and friends. He looks great for having brain surgury.
And any CZcams videos of Leon with the wrecking crew, him and Glen Campbell did tv commercials like Lady Clairol in 1961.
Too good.
Love me some Leon!
so very happy to see this.
These two are fantastic, i will say this version of Tiny Dancer is the best i have heard , clear slide guitar and backing instruments....I wish Nigel had sat in on this though,,,,
Nigel is indeed Elton's drummer by birthright. However, Nigel didn't drum on the original Tiny Dancer. That was the late Roger Pope, who played on occasional Elton songs in the early 1970s, before becoming part of Elton's touring band for several years in the mid '70s. Roger was also a primary inspiration for the Muppet named Animal.
Are You Glad the world was invited to a great re-union !!!!
@elton1111 Yes Mandalay Again is wonderful. The album charted at #3 in the US- some "has beens"!
EXTRAORDINARIO.......... BESITOS BESITOS.
Rich Impeccable Powerful
cool
'And there's no way out, no road home
I'm lost in doubt and I'm all alone.'
Now that Leon's gone
Elton did a great job, but there is only one music god on that stage, LEON RUSSELL. From playing with David Gates in Oklahoma back in 1957, a Lady Clairol tv commercial with Glen Campbell in 1961, and being on so many recordings as a studio musician with the Wrecking Crew.
@Drawboynumberone Well the album has had rave reviews and doing very well in the US charts, so Leon must have been doing something right, teaming up with the great man
Yes it's still Processing For some reason, Might have to upload it again!
Where is the melody of chorus of Tiny Dancer? "Hold Me Closer Tiny Dancer" used to be strong in falsetto of Elton!
@MrWalterflynn Far from has-beens, this album has been getting great critics' reviews and is generating quite some buzz, Leon's own Retrospective album in the top 25 of amazon when i last looked, along with The Union riding up in the top 2.
Scotty, not only do I not listen to those two 80s albums but they are dust gatherers in my CD collection. This was about the time that Elton was doing a lot of cocaine and booze. When he got cleaned up his music pretty much approved. Listen I subscribed to your you tub page so after the album comes out and some time had past, shoot me a quick note if you like to let me know what you think of it. We can compare notes perhaps.
Scotty, my comments were a bit knee jer reaction and I did not mean any injoury by them, sorry it came off that way and I understand where you are comeing from. Yes I heard Elton make those comments about having so much energy when your young and it slow down when you get older. i;ve alway like the way Elton put a song together and althought his 80s, and 90s work has been spotty, more recent albums have been very good in my judgement but I understand if you don't feel the same way. :)
Scotty, I think the title has someting to do about perils that young people are not aware of when they are young so they just off that diving board into those perils. That decirbed what Elton dove into in his younger years in the rock and roll lifestyle but now he is that he is older person, he is reflecting back on the dangers he got into in his younger years and gratful that he came out alive as some rock stars are not that lucky. That is my guess. yap Later:)
Scotty, you seem to be stuck in the past.
@MrWalterflynn
If its painful to watch, then dont. So much stuff(music) out there.
You sound sore about something..
Otherwise you wouldnt have cared to write so much..
odd.. elton didnt write any of those songs..
fngonuts he co write some with Bernie and Leon but Leon write a couple on his own
He wrote Tiny Dancer with Bernie Taupin.
Strange album title, and why is Leon Russell, who at least at one time had a direct line to American roots soul, teaming with the mediocrity formerly known as Elton John? I guess Elton must have fired Billy Joel, huh? I didn't understand a single word of the lyrics in the first song on this video. Pathetic.
