I like This Masquerade, too.

I always loved the song Superstar and didn't know until just a few years ago that it was one of his many songs. I'm so glad he's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. If anyone deserves to be there, it's Leon Russell.

It's not the '70s and the quality is quite poor, but I like this video. Even young, without the hair and hat, this is pure Leon.
