Leon Redbone 1949-2019

As you may have heard, musician Leon Redbone has passed away at the age of 69 (though that age isn’t known for sure). Redbone gained fame through a mix of comedy and music that led to appearances on Saturday Night Live and in commercials, among other things. He also made one appearance on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, with “Seduced,” which reached number 72 in 1981.

Do you have a favorite memory involving a song by Leon Redbone? Like so many other Generation X folks, my most vivid memory involving Leon Redbone is listening to the theme song to the 1980s sitcom Mr. Belvedere, which Redbone sang.
