Just read that Leon Redbone passed away today. I have a few of his albums and enjoy them all. Also loved his performances on early episodes of SNL and, of course, his immortal role of Leon The Snowman in Elf. RIP, Mr. Redbone.

To me, he is synonymous with early SNL. Rest in peace Leon.

RIP, Leon. Always enjoyed your music and sense of the absurd. Here's a wonderful (and appropriate) tribute posted by his family on his website.

Saw him live in the '80s. An incredible and quirky performer.

RIP

I remember him from two things: An appearance on SNL in the early days of the show and the fact that he performed the theme song to Mr. Belvedere.

I always thought he had a quirky voice and style.

RIP.
