The Asylum Choir was a rock duo active in the late 1960s. It was composed of keyboardist Leon Russell and guitarist Marc Benno.
Essentially a studio musician gathering, the Asylum Choir was formed around 1967 and the group's debut album was issued in in 1968.[1] A sophomore album was recorded in 1969, but the album did not see release until late 1971 over contract disputes.[1] The duo had long since disbanded, but the second record sold well due to Russell's successful solo career, peaking at #70 on the Billboard 200 in 1972. Benno also became a successful solo artist later in the decade.
