THE OFFICIAL HOME OF THE LEON LIFERS

Rock, Country, Gospel, and the roots of most music that is recorded today. Musical Director for Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen Tour in 1970. Concert for Bangladesh 1971. Founder of Shelter Records, also Paradise records. Russell, who has worked in every genre of music for almost six decades, is one of the most prolific studio musicians, songwriters and record producers in the world. Along with a fruitful solo career, he has collaborated with Sir Elton John, Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra, Ike and Tina Turner, the Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys, the Byrds, Wayne Newton, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, Phil Spector, Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson, George Harrison, Marvin Gaye, and so many more artists. It is very hard to find one artist today, whose music hasn't been influenced in some way by the Master of Space and Time.
