Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member If you like Rock-U-Mentories check this one out. It apparently just finished its run on HBO .. But it's worth watching when you can find it. It's by Cameron Crowe and it document's Elton John's labor of love & Tribute to his great influence as a recording artist. Leon Russel. Check it out... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I was shocked to learn the number of albums that featured Leon Russell as the pianist. It was no Martin Scorcese music documentary, but I still recommend this to music fans out there. It also got me even more excited to see Elton in a couple weeks! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
