“A Song for You” is a soulful love song written and originally recorded by rock singer-songwriter and pianist Leon Russell for his first solo album ‘Leon Russell’, which was released in 1970 on Shelter Records. A slow, pained plea for forgiveness and understanding from an estranged lover, the tune is one of Russell’s best-known compositions. It has been performed and recorded by an array of artists, spanning many musical genres. Sir Elton John has called the song an American classic.
