He was legendary, A member of The Wrecking Crew, his discography list is a mile long with such amazing diversity including Frank Sinatra, The Rolling Stones, and Wayne Newton. His riffs were often imitated but never duplicated, I always loved discovering him in songs you wouldn't associate with him. From The Dating Game song (Herb Alpert) to This Diamond Ring (Gary Lewis) to Danka Shoen, he was a true master of space and time. R.I.P. Leon.
