was this song inspired by the "Encyclopedia Brown" book series or what?

Whats your opinion of this song? I personally enjoy it.

When I first heard Bring back that Leroy brown I thought it was about some 1920/30's Jazz musician. That Freddie Mercury admired or something...

It sounds like something on Jeeves and Wooster when they go over to the USA. As a jazz fan I love it but I prefer the loungey stuff they did like My Melancholy Blues.
