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 \u0026amp; 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... \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen seventeen-year-old Leon replaced Jerry Lee Lewis on stage in 1959.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow Frank Sinatra caused Leon to let his hair grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow J.
