Superstar in a Masquerade tells the story about Leon Russell, an award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, who was born with cerebral palsy, and learned to master the piano. He became an in-demand session man in Hollywood, contributing to thousands of songs by hundreds of artists, during his seven-decade career. He was called the "Rainbow Minister & Ringleader" for the Hippie Generation, and although most people can say they never heard of him, few can say they've never heard him. After reading this book, you can play "Three Degrees of Leon," just like the game "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon," linking him to anyone, from B.B. King to ZZ Top. As an emigre from Oklahoma to California, he invited David Gates and J. J. Cale to join him in the music mecca known as Tinseltown, where the Tulsa Trio made untold contributions to America's popular music. Read about over five hundred artists, and their songs that Leon, David, and J. J. helped create, as well as... When seventeen-year-old Leon replaced Jerry Lee Lewis on stage in 1959.How Frank Sinatra caused Leon to let his hair grow.How J. J. Cale played a role in the formation of the band Bread.How Leon saved Joe Cocker's career and created Willie Nelson's famous image.When Elton John was Leon's opening act on tour.Why DC Comics sued Leon's record label for $2 million.When David Gates's band backed Chuck Berry on stage in 1961.When Leon brazenly threw the "F-bomb" at Phil Spector.When Leon called organized Christianity the single most harmful force in history.What Broadway song Leon borrowed from for "This Masquerade."
