"Rather Go Blind" was written by Leon Russell?? If that's the case, I'm gonna love that song (that I already REALLY love) even more! I also am familiar with the Etta James version and the Christine McVie...but I was thinking that I remembered Bonnie Bramlett do it too...now that would add up if Leon Russell wrote it because those two did some -great stuff together! (Have you ever heard Bonnie Bramlett sing "Superstar" that she and Leon co-wrote??)
