Leon Redbone November 1, 2012

Leon Redbone can croon like Bing Crosby, growl like Louis Armstrong, fingerpick the guitar like Blind Blake and scat sing a trumpet solo that recalls the great Bix Beiderbecke. He is recognized for his trademark Panama hat, dark sunglasses and bow tie. He sang the theme to the television series Mr. Belvedere. He was a semi-regular musical guest on NBC's 'Saturday Night Live' throughout the late 1970s and last appeared on the show in 1983.
