Subject: Leon Redbone Hangs up His Panama Hat
Written By: LyricBoy on 05/30/19 at 5:12 pm
Legendary Tin Pan Alley artist Leon Redbone has passed away at the age of 69. :\'(
https://variety.com/2019/music/news/singer-leon-redbone-dies-at-69-1203229012/
He was born in Cyprus of Armenian heritage, as Dickran Gobalian and later emigrated to Canada, shortly thereafter changing his name to Redbone.
His hits are too many to enumerate here, but my favorite was “Come and Get your Love”. 8)

Wrong Redbone. That was a mostly Native American pop-rock band.
...Or is that the joke? ???

I recall back in the mid 70s, due to the fact that he seemed to be a "persona" and came off as kind of mysterious, people used to think that Leon Redbone was actually an alter ego for Frank Zappa. This, of course, was not true.

So sad!
Probably best known in the UK for Inter City British Rail commercial in which he sang "Relax".

No, Leon Redbone sang the theme song to Mr. Belvedere back in 1985.
Ah, I had not known that. :)
Anyway, he'll be missed greatly. :\'(
