Bobby is not shy about telling you, but he really was the heart and soul of this band/album. Insane how he never became more after the dominos, he had everything going for him to become a music icon up there with, Clapton, Jagger, McCartney.
@@atourdeforcedon't see Melissa's comment... But that its pretty dim to say eric didn't write any songs... All one has to do is watch bobby and coco's youtube channel and heat bobby's stories.
Clapton can sing it... but from the first note, there's no question that Bobby's voice hits that next level of soulfulness that Clapton's never quite reaches. I love how the slide player glides up above the fret board for some of those classic Duane notes, and he even kisses that moment where Duane slipped slightly, off key center into a micro tone at the end of the coda. Bobby is a real treasure, and his band rocked it hard
Bobby Whitlock didn't co-write Layla, though he sang on the original. It was Eric Clapton's song, and Jim Gordon "used" one of Rita Coolidge's songs for the melody of the coda.
In case you don't know, the "Bobby Whitlock & Coco Carmel" youtube channel has a huge number of conversations about Derek and the Dominoes, how Clapton and Whitlock organized George Harrison's backing band for All Things Must Pass, and many related topics. Like this: ruclips.net/video/lndQ0fbXOtM/видео.html
That sweet sound of a Whitlock backup locked into the essential feel of the inspiring hope of a joy to behold, with an everlasting lasting appeal. Truly an earmark of a legend. Coco seems definitely in your corner.

Bobby Whitlock is a musical force of nature. Killer performance of this song, and one of the only plays of it where I've seen _any_ guitarist even _attempt_ to play the slide solo that leads to the piano coda. Hat's off to you Bobby, Band!
This is outrageously incredible! Bobby you did great! And the slide guitar is just smoking’. This is absolutely beautiful and thank you for keeping the torch alive!
Holy Guacamole.... this is amazing.... Johnny A does and incredible job on Duane Allman's guitar part...and of course Bobby totally nails his keyboard part....
Can't thank you enough Mr. Johnson for hoisting this gem for one and all to enjoy. What a treat, Whitlock in full flight and even playing the piano coda which he has never been shy about expressing his disdain of. In the Dominoes live work Whitlock's vocals were always undermiked, I suppose because he was a much stronger singer than was Clapton, but this clip reveals just what a remarkable set of pipes he had/has. About the only thing that I can think of that would top this would be live vids of his band c. 72-73. There is frustratingly little in his autobiography about this period although he does mention that this group was "tight". An understatement. They were over-the-moon brill, and could, if they felt so inclined that particular show, peel paint at fifty paces. A modest gentleman of prodigious talent. Cheers!
Th only part of Layla that is eternal....melancholy, plaintive, deeply pensive, reflective, the end of something that can Never be again is what this lovely coda says.
Actually it was Delaney Bramlett who pushed Eric out front and made him sing - even though EC had already sang lead on some songs with Cream - he didn't believe in his voice. Delaney helped him to believe in his vocal gifts. And of course Bobby Whitlock was a continuation of what Delaney had started. Thank goodness for Delaney & Bobby and their efforts to help Eric have confidence to sing. I think EC is a wonderful singer.
He was back up vocals on the original behind Eric and did such great Organ work on that whole album. He even picks up one of the two piano tracks on the second half of layla. Good Organ playing just isnt found these days, its a shame, i'm 29 and since about age 14 all my favorite songs have been from 1966-1977 i love the Doors, Procol Harum, Pink Floyd and all that great organ/electric piano playing so Bobby is a favorite of mine!
Wow we're exactly the same. I'm also 29 and the music I was heavily into as a young teen were from the mid 60's to late 70's (albums such as Beano, Layla, and Pink Floyd's Animals were always on rotation). Rock on.
@Dave Wray he did, and i was lucky to be able to help him start the conversation with Eric to finally be credited for Bell Bottom Blues in 2015 after 45 years! it was an amazing thing to be apart of.
what you hear on the song is way over the head of rita coolidge...what jim was tinkering around with in the stuidio in 1970 was what he and rita were starting to play together before they split up...what the dominos did with that was re-do the melody give it more of a body and added parts beyond what rita coolidge had done...and still with rita her part while never completed before this came about was still jim gordon...the rumours and theories of how this was somehow stolen from rita coolidge are just ridiculous, especially since the overall melody we hear on the layla coda is way more than time ever was gonna be or could be which was a real lame piece that did nothing, had horrible lyrics and singing and very poorly recorded after it was finished to sound more like the melody used in layla's coda...a rumour that needs to really be corrected, especially since how debunkable it all is. it would be like saying the first half of layla is stolen because a few seconds of the riff is based off and a shoutout to another song..which literally every band in history has done and done multiple times. not all of layla's 2nd half is taken from what jim and rita had once done together at home and never officially...bobby is doing much more on piano than jim and what rita had did not have the change ups and turn arounds.
@@JCostlowMedia Bobby and CoCo are doing a 50-year-old history of Bobby's journey in the music scene...(on RUclips). In this series, he covers this subject as to who wrote the 'coda'. It was Rita Coolidge. Bobby was there when she wrote it. She confirms it as well as Grahn Nash. Also, Google it...Rita Coolidge!
@@martyjansing2675 no one is disputing that and i'm ahead of you on that..what Rita had done with Jim was like a 1/3 of the overall melody and song that the Dominos used as the coda...Rita hadnt finished anything and Bobby and Tom helped Jim pickup where he left off with Rita which was how Eric learned of all of this by walking in on Jim trying to sort out the rest of the melody. Its like saying D'yer Mak'er is simply a rip on Heart and Soul, which it is thats the melody and chord progression but overall it doesnt really sound like it, the style is different which the coda on layla is from the very little Rita had done and the part of d'yer mak'er that is based on heart and soul takes on new life just as the coda does in ways Rita never imagined. when Time was later finished and recorded after Layla had been out it very clearly is in its original state, very plain nothing to it and not very comparable to the depth of how the Dominos did the coda, and still on Time guess who has a writing credit...Jim Gordon!
@@JCostlowMedia I don’t believe you. Rita Coolidge would never have had so much knowledgeable facts (that could be verified), nor stated them in public of how it ended up, calling “Stiggie”, etc. Refer to Bobby Whitlock’s video, or Rita’s autobiography, Delta Lady, if you dare.......Jim took the cassette to England without her knowledge, period, IMO. BTW, how is it you purport to have this info? Who are you?
Bobby Whitlock is one of my favorite musicians of ALL TIME and doesn't get credit for his writing ...... hell he wrote or helped write half of the songs on the LAYLA album !!!!!!!!
I love how Johnny A played the out of tune slide stuff like Duane did on Layla and he's using a vintage Coricidin bottle on his pinky! Great performance by all!
they sound great, but nothing =like Eric and Duane How do they , = although= Bobby Whitlock = sounds, frickin, "Perfect" "plus about, 50, right on, = ++++++++++++++++
Doing Jim Burns comp some justice. Jim Burns is also getting justice. The 60s were a time of greatness and in some cases a time of sadness. Rest In Peace Mrs. Burns.
Great lead guitar by Johnny A. For Whitlock fans, I recommend this video: "Facio / Create talks with Bobby Whitlock about working with Eric Clapton and George Harrison"
I’m sorry too I love Bobby but I think you got it wrong brother I think he covered it pretty damn good I don’t know how good your slide playing is but and I don’t know you but it was a good performance and by the way you don’t play with Bobby Whitlock unless you are a class musician I don’t see you in the video
@@edwardhenry3158 hey go look at a video by Bobby and Coco entitled 'Chit Chat". ..read the comments...i ASK him about THIS video, And BOBBY HIMSELF describes this guy as GOD AWFUL...LOL. And then come back and apologize for being a dumbass....;-)
Bobby Whitlock. Just FANTASTIC! An American treasure.

@Mellissa Boomer of the Night That's just not true about Eric not writing a single song. Which leads me to believe you're just being hyperbolic.
Bobby and coco's youtube channel is the best!

@@atourdeforceEven if that were true, and I was Eric, I'd be going after whomever was writing those love songs to Patty.
@user-vi7wi6de9rhe's older, but I wouldn't call him old, not with his mental acuity. And he has always been nice.
Clapton can sing it... but from the first note, there's no question that Bobby's voice hits that next level of soulfulness that Clapton's never quite reaches.

Was a pleasure meeting him in India
That slide players is Johnny A!
I bet those young dudes in the band are freaking out.
Playing one of the greatest songs in rock history with one of the original writers.
Bobby Whitlock didn't co-write Layla, though he sang on the original. It was Eric Clapton's song, and Jim Gordon "used" one of Rita Coolidge's songs for the melody of the coda.
As always Bobby is singing his ass off.
Bobby really brought the Soul to the Dominos....Great band, Great Song, Great Album.
and D&B, too, just listened to tedeshi trucks live vs and prefer this one
This man was truly touched by God.
Bobby Whitlock absolutely ripping it up. Great stuff!
Nice to find this here. I was lucky enough to be one of the camera ops. on this gig. What a pleasure.
Bobby brings the passion. I like this better than EC without Dominos.
Understated haa
That last slide was epic.
Good on you Johnny!!

Nobody can ever sing like Bobby.
ONE HELL OF A MUSICIAN AND SINGER, THREW ERIC IN THE WATER AND MADE HIM SING BOYGREAT MEMPHIS
thats a funny claim you make...i dont think bobby hinself backs up the story you tell here...you may be confused on that!
@@JCostlowMedia OK
Bobby stated that he was Erics ‘spotter’ with vocals... pushing him to new frontiers with his voice essentially. Good call Dennis.
He loses his voice on the chorus.

Guitar player was Johnny A.
Just found this gem!

***** he does :)
He has toured occasionally with his wife Coco Carmel.
Nice, Bobby Whitlock is an extremely talented guy! The band does this well also!
What's better than a good slide Guitarist? Two great slide Guitarist’s. Awesome Performance...
No replacing Duane
Good job, the band did good, love the slide, brother! ✌
