I'm still impressed by Elliot's selection of material. I believe he's the "class act" of the bunch. Was "A Song for You" written by Leon Russell? It's a great song...one of Ray Charles' best of his later days.
The grey headed guy really bit off more than he could handle with "Just Once". A combination of shortening and modulations really got him. It's one of my favorites...difficult to do well.
I hope it will come down to Elliot and Kate and that both will have long careers. They both deserve it. Russ
yes, written by Leon Russell ... and I really love Ray's rendition ...
