Jahfin Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Leon Russell = Russell Bridges Jerry Jeff Walker = Ronald Crosby Just a sidenote, Leon Wilkeson of Lynyrd Skynyrd's full name is Leon Russell Wilkeson. It's no coincidence Leon Wilkeson was also a huge Leon Russell fan. In another bit of trivia it was Leon Russell who coined the term" Swampers" in reference to the Muscle Shoals studio session players where both Leon and Skynyrd recorded.

Cactus Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Slash was Saul Hudson John Paul Jones was/is? John Baldwin. I have seen recent court documents - I forget which action it was for, which listed him as Baldwin, so it is still his legal name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leddy Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Why the hell would you change your name to Humperdinck? You have to watch the Eddie Izzard dvd Dressed to Kill (I expect you tube will have it), as he does talk about how he would of loved to be in the room when Arnold George Dorsey came up with that name, its very funny ..
