You've heard him countless times — a particular organ swell, a sweet tease of the ivory, a syrupy slide on guitar. Leon Russell never quite became a household name, but he was the go-to studio musician throughout the '60s and '70s. His contributions can be heard on records by everyone from the Beach Boys to the Rolling Stones to Dean Martin, and his sly, big-bearded style stands out in period footage of concerts by George Harrison and Eric Clapton. Russell continues to tour with the hits that he made famous and the songs he's been writing his whole life. And his beard is as fierce as ever in a blinding white.
