The epitome of "gravel voice!" R. I. P. You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless. NRA Benefactor/Patriot Member | |||

Sorry to hear about that. RIP Leon, always loved your music and the growly voice. Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

My favorite version of "Baby its cold outside" is him and Zooey. RIP Leon... _____________________________ Pledge allegiance or pack your bag! The problem with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money. - Margaret Thatcher Spread my work ethic, not my wealth | |||

He put on a great show at Chattanooga's Nightfall Series in Miller Plaza back in 2002...RIP Leon  ******************************************************** "we've gotta roll with the punches, learn to play all of our hunches Making the best of what ever comes our way Forget that blind ambition and learn to trust your intuition Plowing straight ahead come what may And theres a cowboy in the jungle" Jimmy Buffet | |||

I still have a couple of his rekkid albins. He always seemed older than he was because of his musical style, which I have always enjoyed. | |||

I read not too long ago how decades back, when Leon was doing the club scene, one of his biggest fans was a very young Bob Dylan. LR's choice of material may not be universal but I always appreciated him keeping the old stuff alive. RIP Leon Redbone, thank you. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

^^^^^^I've also read that Dylan liked Redbone, but given that Dylan is 78, and Redbone was 69, it may not have been a "very young" Dylan when he came across Redbone. Nonetheless, I, too, was a fan. Saw him in a small club in Chicago in about 1978. Liked him then and since. RIP, Leon. | |||

He dressed retro, so always looked older than he was back in the day. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

He was an artist who defied categorization. Blues? He did a great version of "Oh, Suzanna" which I don't think fits into any blues slot. Lots of his songs were like that-- not rock, jazz, blues, ballads. They were retro, and that's about as much as you can say. I have too many favorites to name--and I love the monkey's choice-- but if you haven't heard, "Seduced" have a listen. It's sly, clever, and funny. And universal. Every hetero guy in the world-- this is our song.  In all the romantic fantasizing, the flatulent trombone is a hoot.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bOjrl9Qxzg So long, Leon! Thanks for sharing your great talent, it was a delight to listen to you. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

He had a very unique voice and style which I enjoyed and will miss. | |||

Charmingly unsophisticated |
He opened for George Carlin here in WV back in....oh heck, 79-80? His sound stuck with me. Didn't he do Budweiser commercials as well? _______________________________ The artist formerly known as AllenInWV | |||

Wonder if he ever found out what "Diddy Wah Diddy" really means? And yes, long ago he did some "This Bud's for You" ads. Memorable in that they had a different style than their other ads at the time. _______________________ “The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.

Always play his album "Christmas on Christmas Island" during the holidays. R.I.P., Leon. ________________________________ "Nature scares me" a quote by my friend Bob after a rough day at sea. | |||
