Converted in 1972, the venue has hosted the likes of Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt and many more.

In the decades that followed, one became a superstar while the other found a rockier career path.

This list may arrive as a kind of affirmation, if you were a huge fan. More likely, however, is that you never knew Leon Russell wrote so many great songs.

News of the death of Leon Russell has prompted an outpouring of public affection for the veteran songwriter and recording artist.

Musician and songwriter Leon Russell died in his sleep at the age of 74, according to a post on his official Facebook page.
