NICE! If I am recalling correctly from the great Bill Janovitz (of Buffalo Tom) biography of Leon Russell, I think "Song for You" was written for Rita Coolidge, too. In any event, not for nuthin, but the Ray Charles cover is one of those rare cases where the cover is better (and it is LEGIT hard to top Leon's version). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJom4uqpg2Q
FWIW - Janovitz is working with Elliot Easton on the definitive book about The Cars (the band, not to be confused with the vehicle). If the Russell book is any indication, we're in for a treat!!
