Two very cool people have birthdays today: Leon Russell and Marvin Gaye. Both geniuses, and both worth sharing a couple clips from.
Leon Russell just finished recording an album with Elton John. Elton has often declared Leon to be “a god.” Marvin Gaye was a brilliant songwriter and performer who met an untimely demise at the hands of his own father 26 years ago (yesterday). These are totally brief descriptions, but YouTube and Wikipedia have ample videos/bios for these two legendary artists…
