Has it really been four years since we lost The Master of Space and Time?
Yes, sadly it has been.
Leon passed away at 4:17 in the morning, at least according to his wife Jan, who awoke and found him unresponsive.
He passed away peacefully in his sleep just a month or so after having recovered from a heart attack.

I was lucky to know him.

My favorites are "Lady Blue" and "Tight Rope." "Lady Blue" has such a haunting melody, and I love that awkward, pausing rhythm of "Tight Rope." And his voice--well, nobody sounded like him. Even though he was ahead of my time, great music like that--and great people like him--will never fade away. You were lucky to know him, Checker.
