Riggo-toni Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 https://ultimateclassicrock.com/leslie-west-dies/ Leslie West, co-founder and guitarist with the pioneering hard rock-band Mountain, has died at age 75. The Los Angeles Times confirmed his death through a publicist. Rolling Stone and Variety are also reporting that West has passed. Mississippi Queen might be what Mountain was famous for, but this was their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 This is my favorite Mountain song. Leslie West, Jack Bruce, and Felix Pappalardi are all gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo-toni Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 @LadySkinsFan, that's also one of my favorites. Written by Jack Bruce for Cream, but in an insane moment Clapton refused to do it. Felix Pappalardi was Cream's producer, so he took it with him to Mountain.
