Eric Clapton said the combination of Carl and Jim Gordon on drums was the best rhythm section he ever played with. Think about that statement as he played with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker!
I consider Carl one of my top 5 bass player influences. Not flashy, just a pure supportive musician. Great pocket, tone, feel, and groove. Mad Dogs and Englishmen record by Joe Cocker has I feel one of the all-time rhythm sections-Carl-Jim Gordon-Jim Keltner. Love his stuff with JJ Cale too.
Thank you for paying deserved respects to Carl Radle. His bass playing inspired and kicked off my love for playing bass. Blessings to his family and those who loved his contribution to music.
My recent album has a song dedicated to Carl. Here is my story. When I was 11 years old I bought a single ticket to see Leon Russell perform at the Philadelphia Spectrum. I arrived a few hours before the show started so that I could get as close to the stage as possible. I was able to find a spot up front right near where the piano was set up. While I was waiting Carl Radle (Leon’s Bassist) walked on stage to check his equipment. When I saw him I yelled as loud as I could “HEY CARL”, he looked over at me I waved, he waved back and left the stage. About two hours later the show started. When Carl walked on stage, he looked over at me waved and smiled. I was so happy, he made my day. This song is dedicated to the memory of Carl Dean Radle. RIP Carl. ruclips.net/video/izqcOP6AORE/видео.html
@@peteblanken4809 Let It Rain (Clapton/Bramlett) From the Eric Clapton album Eric Clapton Like “Coming Home” from Delaney & Bonnie and Friends On Tour with Eric Clapton, “Let It Rain” is credited to Eric Clapton and Bonnie Bramlett, but it was almost certainly a collaboration between Clapton and Delaney. Delaney was at the top of his game in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and as Bobby Whitlock said, “everyone wanted a piece of what Delaney had.” And it seems Delaney was willing to spread it around, giving away songwriting credits, among other things. 'Let It Rain” is the last song on Clapton’s first solo album. Carl Radle plays bass on every track on the album, and turns in a masterful effort on this classic. For the verses and choruses, he has a pretty concrete skeleton of a line that he sticks to, but he continually improvises around it. Radle’s concept for the line is to hit the root of the chord then walk up or down, diatonically or chromatically, to the root of the next chord. (“Diatonic” means notes within the key. “Chromatic,” generally, means notes outside of the key. In this case, a chromatic walk-up or -down means moving in half-steps regardless of the key.) Looking at the first few measures of the first verse, we see Radle’s path through the chord progression. He plays the root (D) on the downbeat of the first measure. He leaps briefly to the 5th of the chord (A) on the “and” of beat 2, then back to the root. At the end of the first measure he begins a diatonic walk-down (D-C-B) to the root of the next chord (A). In measure 2, he takes a similar approach. He plays the root of the chord (A) on the downbeat, moves to the 5th (E) on beat 3, then moves back to the root to begin a chromatic walk-up (A-A#-B) to the root of the next chord (C). In the third measure, he plays the root (C) on the downbeat, then walks down diatonically to the next root (G) on beat 3, then walks up chromatically (C-C#) to arrive back at the root of the next chord (D).
most tasteful bass player ever, listen to "let it rain", studio version from clapton's first solo lp, i rest my case & eric clapton, what a shame you were not here for carl, he is twice the player you ever were, & a million times the better human being you could ever aspire to be
Yeah.....but I never would have heard of Carl Radle if he didn't play with Clapton...or appreciated him.....Clapton was famous....but he put a lot of others on the map....including J.J.Cale.....who I also never would have bothered with....then there are all the black bluesmen he dug out of mothballs and got people to seek out their music and appreciate...reggae as well...I wouldn't be so harsh on Clapton....he suffered a lot of shit....there were a lot worse celebrities and stars....
On October 12 2006 EC was playing a concert to 14,000 fans at the John Paul Jones Arena, Charlottesville , VA . Most people can’t be in two places at the same time .
A great musician and man. When Eric was deep in his heroin habit, carl sent him tapes of his band so to help him get over the habit and get back on the road - he never forgot him...
The video isn't a very good quality, but I spotted David Teegarden on tamberine behind Marcy & that's Walt Richmond on keys. In another video it easier to see Tulsans Jimmy Junior Markham & Chuck Blackwell were there along w/ Dick Sims.
@OutragedPatriot Huh? Professional? 1st Class? A professional-classy woman would not have dressed in such away to attract attention to herself and away from the event of honoring Carl. Gee, I wonder what she wears at funerals?
I totally agree with you. Dress for respect. Becky Sullivan used to work for a sister company that I worked for in Fayetteville. I got to meet her. She really appreciates it when people remember her Dad. Carl was one of my major influences.
Due to typical women’s insecurities about their looks, this middle aged milf was flaunting what she had chasing attention. 17 years later in 2024 I’m sure the wall is undefeated. But I’d throw it a bang….🤷🏼♂️
I saw Carl Radle play with Eric Clapton at his comeback 19 June 1974, Gröna Lund, Stockholm. A fantastic memory - they were great. Of course.
Eric Clapton said the combination of Carl and Jim Gordon on drums was the best rhythm section he ever played with.
Think about that statement as he played with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker!

I think the important thing here is Carl, he deserves the recognition. Without him, we'd have no Derek and the Dominos!
The perfect P-bass player. I think of him in the same way as James Jamerson, or Nick Seymour.
Exactly!
Carl Radle...from delaney and bonnie..dominos..cocker...to name just 3...LEGEND...RIP Carl
Yes, Carl was one of the greats. He is missed.
I'm not a musician but I love classic rock. I have seen countless musicians praise Carl as first rate. RIP Carl!
RIP Carl. You are Missed Still Today.
Great post and great to see the band back together for Carl. Also his sister and daughter. Thanks

Carl and Jim Gordon were THE BEST rythem section of all time.
Very hard to argue with that.
Think so.
Kunkle and Sklar?
Bruce and Baker?

Legend
Long live Carl Radle (I played a bass guitar too) & OKLAHOMA women

Rackus Tremendous!
I've known Carl's bass playing for decades. One of my favorites is his bass line in 'Let It Rain....
Stephen Stills played the bass on Let It Rain

My favorite Bass Player
Saw and heard Carl play with Eric Clapton at William and Mary College in Williamsburg,Virginia 1981. Muddy Waters opened the show.
RIP CARL and Rockie.
RIP Carl,,,,great player

Stephen Stills played bass on “Let It Rain”. With a pick.

Never mind Carl....Lori!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was on everything i liked
A great musician and man. When Eric was deep in his heroin habit, carl sent him tapes of his band so to help him get over the habit and get back on the road - he never forgot him...
Who is that beautiful lady making the announcement? Wow.
Carl was in a band in the late '60s called 'COLOURS'....anyone have any clips of them? Thanks and also RIP, Carl=one of the legends!
OMG. I wasgiven that record as a gift way back when and played it a lot. No IDEA that Carl was in that band but he definitely was. Amazing!
That’s hot!! 😘
God rest him
The band?! Marcy Levy, George Terry and Dickie and Jamie? Who else is performing anyone know?!
The video isn't a very good quality, but I spotted David Teegarden on tamberine behind Marcy & that's Walt Richmond on keys.
In another video it easier to see Tulsans Jimmy Junior Markham & Chuck Blackwell were there along w/ Dick Sims.
who is that lovely woman?
Lori is a Tulsa TV person.
correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Carl play on "All Things Must Pass " by George Harrison ?
Yes he did
I'm sure all the D and Dom's members were on George's masterpiece.
👀
Eric should have made it.....
What happened to him....
Drug overdose
Drug overdose
Didn't he get disgusted when Delaney took the writing credit for Never Ending Love Song? Might've been a better music choice.
Carl who? I’m here for Miss Funbags…. what.🤷🏼♂️

I am wondering.
There was nothing wrong with how she was dressed. This was a celebration of Carl. This is a non-issue.
Due to typical women’s insecurities about their looks, this middle aged milf was flaunting what she had chasing attention. 17 years later in 2024 I’m sure the wall is undefeated. But I’d throw it a bang….🤷🏼♂️
