Today Willie Nelson turns 80. This duet with Dolly Parton of "Happy, Happy Birthday Baby" from some years backs seems appropriate.

George Beverly Shea
George Beverly Shea passed away today at 104. (NYT Obit) I did see him sing a couple years ago at Camden Yards.
Below is a clip of him performing "How Great Thou Art" at 103, and then a clip of "Holy, Holy, Is What The Angels Sing" from what looks like quite a few years back.

Leon Through the Years
A couple videos that show Leon Russell performing over almost 40 years.
"Roll Over Beethoven" - 1964
From the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh, "Young Blood" and "Jumping Jack Flash", with a recent clip of Leon reminiscing on the Concert.
Leon's 2011 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I have previously posted videos of Elton John and Leon performing songs off their album The Union, one of my favorite albums from the last decade.

Rough God
Another great performance from Van Morrison and his band—"Rough God". This video is worth it just for the sax playing.
