The Rock & Roll Chef®

This video really gets me. Always loved this tune, but there's some freaky stuff peppered throughout the clip, featuring Leon playing solo in some kind of big soundstage with random people floating around. 

Looks like Leon has a VERY delicate touch on the ivories, real slender fingers (excellent musician too). A fellow Okie, Leon got started in Tulsa, then landed in L.A.. I'd heard before that Leon was a studio musician there, but didn't know how extensive that was until right now (from Wikileaks): Russell has played & recorded with artists as varied as Jerry Lee Lewis, George Harrison, Delaney Bramlett, Ringo Starr, Elton John, Eric Clapton, The Byrds, The Beach Boys, Willie Nelson, Badfinger, Tijuana Brass, Frank Sinatra, The Band, Glen Campbell, Clayton 'Red' White,  The Rolling Stones. 
(and don't forget Gary Lewis & The Playboys! Yeah.)
