Leon Redbone, who burst onto the pop-music scene in the mid-1970s with a startlingly throwback
singing style and a look to go with it, favoring songs from bygone eras drolly delivered, died on
Thursday in Bucks County, Pa. He was 69.
His family announced the death on his website. A specific cause of death was not given, but
Mr. Redbone had retired from performing in 2015 because of ill health.
