HERE'S A REVIEW OF MY CD, *POWER OF THE BLUES* BY MY GOOD FRIEND WENDY RUDIN FROM SPIRIT FM 91.1 SPIRIT OF THE BLUES: MARC LEON is very addictive. He rocks with the best of them. If you can listen to his CD and not move to his music, go see a doctor, you need a checkup!! Great music to dance to, move to or just listen to. Marc you are one of our best, no wonder you’ve performed with some of the top musos. Vocals and instruments don’t fight each other, they come together like a dream. A great selection of songs with nothing repetitive. Don’t miss out on your copy of **The Power Of the Blues** - Get It Now! Fabulous CD, Marc and all the very best for the future. Don’t ever stop playing and singing as you’re a fantastic example of our wonderful Aussie musicians I’ll be very proudly playing Marc on my Spirit of the Blues show & I know the listeners will enjoy him as much as I do. Congratulations Marc, you’re very special. Wendy Rudin Spirit FM 91.1 Spirit of the Blues Marc Leon has been associated with many bands and artists who now form a part of Australian Music History. He has earned the respect of his peers as a musician who is not afraid to take on new challenges and constantly works on refining his skills as a composer and performer. Marc began his musical career in 1960 as lead singer in local Rock & Roll bands and by 1966, his musical interests shifted towards Jazz, Blues and Soul. He was influenced by musicians such as Ray Charles, BB King , Wes Montgomery and the Soul artists who recorded for the "Stax" label. Over the years, Marc has shared the stage with many International acts like The Kinks, Mungo Jerry, Bee Gees, Jose Feliciano, Fairport Convention and Roberta Flack. He worked as a studio session musician, as well as guitarist and musical director for several Australian Top Celebrities, including John Farnham, Colleen Hewett, Normie Rowe and John St. Peters. Marc also taught guitar for many years in music schools and his home studio. Some of Marc's songs have made it into the finals of the American Song Festival (1976) and the MBAS Blues Performer Of The Year contest (1995).
