Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1266450 By The Carpenters. By Leon Russell. Arranged by Dave Gingras and John E. Dosher. Film/TV,Jazz,Pop. Score. 4 pages. DAVID LEE GINGRAS #859188. Published by DAVID LEE GINGRAS (A0.1266450). A Song for You is a song written and originally recorded by rock singer and pianist Leon Russell for his first solo album Leon Russell, which was released in 1970 on Shelter Records. A slow, pained plea for forgiveness and understanding from an estranged lover, the tune is one of Russell's best-known compositions. Russell sang, played piano, and played tenor horn on the recording. This version features a root-based chord blocking that John and I have used in a number of our arrangements and we added what we think are some pretty cool left-hand fills! We hope you like what we've done with this awesome tune, it's one of John and my favorites!
