Fondly remember his SNL performances. We used to play his albums in the store when I worked in the retail record biz.
RIP Leon. |

Leon was "da man' !
I've been a fan since I first saw him on SNL, SO many years ago.
Quite a few of his songs on my granddaughter's "lullaby playlist".
Lullaby Baby Blues
Prairie Lullaby
When You Wish Upon A Star
Why
to name a few.
RIP Mr Redbone.

Leon Redbone - Bouquet Of Roses - love this song
Love the slide guitar accompaniment - feels like you're in a bygone era.
Sounds like a more gravelly, soulful version of Bing Crosby.
Who influenced who?

And speaking of music from a bygone era, this is one of my favorites in this class -
Dean Martin - Sway

Wife will be upset in the AM - big Leon fan. I took her to see him perform twice, once only 4 miles from home.
Actual name: Dickran Gobalian |

I posted a documentary link in the what you listening to topic. Little is known about Leon and tho he was a cigar smoker - I have no idea what he smoked. I can understand why he came up with another name tho.
