All I know is, damn, I've been hearing Bobby Whitlock for fifty years. This guy has played with a ton of incredible musicians and still remembers and can relate a ton of entertaining stories. Thank you Mr. Whitlock...stay healthy and well.
I’ve always been disappointed that Eric didn’t do more work with Bobby. The songs they wrote and performed together were pure magic. I could only imagine more time together.
Per your tip, I am listening to Derek and the Dominos at the Fillmore East in 1970. You are right Bobby, it feels good. RUclips has it available with a St. Jude ad right in the middle. So cool.
The live album is my favorite Dominos record, too. It was amazing. Magic doesn’t last forever and trying to make it last forever just destroys it. Thank you for creating magic.
Wow. "Let it Rain" was always one of my favorite tracks and I always loved the bass part. I never would have guessed that was Stephen Stills. But I'm not surprised. He's a great musician.
@@tolbert1671 I was just listening to that section the other day. While Steven Stills is playing that lick, you still hear the original bass part playing as well, which I assume is Carl Radle?
I knew stills was on it but thought he did the piano part. Guess I mixed it up with the track he did with Hendrix - played piano on Jimi’s “My Friend.”
Bobby has been a part of my musical life since I was a young teen--'71-'72. A lot of my memories are intertwined with Bobby's music. He has always been a hero of mine. I'm glad he and I still walk the world together. Peace.
The best part of his storytelling is his laughter - his giggle…so innocent and genuine. The little things tickle him, you see that in these interviews!
As I listen to these gifts from your memory bank, 1st- such a Blessings that your mind is as sharp as a tac. 2nd- I go back to the Well to match the music with your explanations. WHAT A TREASURE Bobby is to us who know the music, but not the process. You add color to my memories. Im so thankful Coco realized OTHERS would appreciate the man- "Bobby Whitlock"! Love his music, his memories, his JOY that this world is needing. I sincerely "Thank you both" for allowing all of us into your your LIVES. Glad to meet you! 🤝 And thank you for including your paintings. An Artist in multiple areas- music, painting, story telling...an example of how to Live life to its Fullest. If not for Coco, ALL THIS would not have happened. So "thanks" Coco. Stay well and happy.
Great stories glad to hear you and see you are well , thank you for sharing your memories which are Rock n Roll History Solid musician solid person thanks again
Stories prove you made an effort to enjoy yourself. No Stories, No Life. Thanks Jim for sharing your Stories. Especially the Let it Rain Bass Track. I Always Loved Carl's Bass playing and I KNEW from that song bass line It Was Not Carl. I had no proof I was right until you confirmed it being Steven Stills. Yep, that sound like him on that track. Funny, That Song was the song I was at a Jam where these guys asked if I knew that song. After we did it they came to me and said No One ever played that bass line right and you just did. Do you want to join our Band ! I am their Bass player now for 4 years going strong. ( Record Time Band )
Thanks Bobby and CoCo. Love your chats, so much fun. Would love to hear some Allman Bros stories. Big Turk is the best back there. Please give him a pat and an ear scratch from me!
You might be a great painter, Bobby.We need to see your work. BUT without a doubt you are a great musician with a great and beautiful soul who has put out Very Great albums. You also co-created with George and Eric, two of the all-time Greatest Classic Albums in Rock and Roll history. We Rock lovers are so blessed (there is no other word-- ) to have you tell us your stories. And you are so blessed to have a great wife in CoCo Carmel who puts together these wonderful, enjoyable, educational and entertaining videos. Thank you both, Always.
I should also mention, Keep on Growin would be the song I'd like played at my funeral. I could listen to that solo on a continuous loop, literally forever.
As I listen to your wonderful stories I can’t help but watch one of your dogs sleeping comfortably and soundly on that dog bed and it takes me to thinking of your old dog that inspired Thorntree in the garden the saddest song I’ve ever heard. 🐕❤️🇨🇦Happy New Year Guys!
I just stumbled onto these chats with Bobby & CoCo. Geez, I start watching one and next thing I know, it's 2 hours later. Listening to your stories has been an absolute treat! Bobby, your fingerprints are all over a whole bunch of records that I've been digging since my HS days....back when dinosaurs roamed he earth :) I've been a "weekend warrior" bar & bluegrass band player ever since (now a "solo folkie") I can never thank you enough for your influence in getting me started down that path. Keep on keepin' on!! With gratitude...Bill , PS: CoCo....you're a mighty fine sax player & singer (just watched that video of you, Bobby, and Eric Johnson, et al in Austin. Yowsah!!
I was walking past a record store in Old Town, Chicago and heard the solo from Let it Rain. I knew it could only have been Clapton. Walked in the store and saw the album cover on display. I carried it home and listen to it on my phone today.
I love your stories. So much fun. It helps that you're a very cool guy....a genuine southern dude (ok, Oklahoma). ). And, yes, Dickey Betts and Gregg and the Allman Bros...I wanna hear more. Thanks Bobby and CoCo.
just cam upon your channel. awesome to get to know Bobby and his recalling all those lps I've loved for years. great he has such a wonderful wife too. comes through like a B3 on 11!
I saw you with Derek and the Dominoes live at the Santa Monica Civic, CA in early early '70s. What an impressive performance and great playing all around. Energy level off the charts. Very memorable show to this day. Was a great time to have been alive.
@@jamesmack3314 Oh they definitely were. And at that time many played in small venues. Santa Monica Civic was maybe 4000 capacity so the experience was like one big family. I saw Pink Floyd, Procol Harum, even when the Eagles opened for them there. Lots of Dead shows at the Hollywood Palladium. I saw Led Zep on their 1st tour at the Anaheim Convention Center, Jefferson Airplane at the Forum, Traffic, Allman Brothers. Such solid, together, powerful performances and not 15 backup pros filling their sound out like many today. Was really a great experience I'd love to do again.
@@IzitAllGoUnder So many incredible concerts back in late early 70s and yes some very cool small venues like Santa Monica where I believe you can view the only taped performance of traffic in 1972 which is on RUclips and on CD called the Santa Monica shakedown ...great band they were.
Jelly! Was it odd to see D&D without their album even being released yet? Didn't those early set lists tilt toward Clapton's first solo LP, Cream (Crossroads) and Blind Faith? But with maybe a "new" tune or two from the upcoming D&D album?
What a joy these chats are! How I’d love to spend some time playing keys & singing a few with Bobby. So great that they’re sharing these great stories!
@@ronaldzeigler9057 Would of been a great time for you. I have a few of his albums will check out if you are on any of them. I spoke briefly with him in Melbourne Australia 2007...great guy considering some of his negative press over the years. Appreciate your reply Ron .have a great 2021.
1st concert i ever went to, stephen stills w elvin bishop opening.took my girlfriend--tickets; $5.00 each. i remember stills NOT playing quite a bit and standing by the amps smoking a ciggie.
Had to subscribe! The sharing of memories and feelings regarding music and musicians I've enjoyed for over 50 years by an amazing musician is priceless and always adds something to the ongoing story of music! It's the same type of "education" regarding the "San Francisco Sound" I receive listening to Jerry Miller of Moby Grape, or Bill Champlin of The Sons of Champlin, later Chicago... Thanks!
Hi Bobby--- Good to see your talks on RUclips---just now found them. Thanks for sharing. I was 19 when you guys started the Dominos. My friends and I were tuned in to so much great music at that time. Lordy, what an era that was. It still means as much....it hasn't faded away! Best wishes---keep it up man. You're a survivor!
I really enjoy listening to your videos… I’m learning so much from your stories about music that I love and grew up with…( I turned 66 last month)… thanks for doing this…!!! “ Confused Mule”… could be the name of your next band… hahaha 😝…( just kidding)… that made me laugh 😂… stay well… you both 💐 🌜🌞🌛
Delaney actually released Clapton's solo album with his mix. I checked it out of my local library years ago. I truly enjoy your recounting these great years of music. Thank you.
I find it interesting that you say that Eric didn't like Delaney's original mix of the record. In the interview excerpts (from 1970) included in the deluxe edition of the album, Eric says that he never heard those mixes, because of miscommunication between him and Delaney. Atlantic wanted it mixed right away, so they sent the tapes to Tom Dowd. Makes sense that he would do the work at Criteria, as that was his preferred studio in the early 70's. Clapton said he loved Delaney's mixes, but the record company took control because they wanted the album released. By the time Eric heard Delaney's mix, it was too late. In many ways, I prefer Bramlett's mix. It's got more of a gritty vibe, and I love the prominence of the horns. Dowd didn't use the cool horn arrangement on "After Midnight". It shocked me the first time I heard it. Those horn really improve the track, but hey, it was a hit, so who can say what might've been. J.J. Cale certainly had an easier life because of that!
Glad I came across this Bobby l have seen your name on numerous albums l had or still have from over the years, find this very appealing from someone who has been around so many musicians and darn good ones at that. Stephen Stills is so multi talented, lucky enough to have seen CSN 3 times. Keep up the good work and thanks for your music.
There have been times recently with all that's going on in the world and in my personal sphere that make me wonder about nature and my part in it. More than once, one of these remarkable videos arrives just in time to pick me up and dust me off. Bobby you and CCC are both remarkable and I look forward to more of these vids in this new trip around Mister Sun. Happy New Year
Love the memories BW, and Cocos prompts.keep them coming. Derek and the Dominoes live were great I was lucky to see you play Manchester Free Trade Hall a million years ago 😁
Just found this and others. Love listening to Bobby Whitlock.Bought his 1972 release titled Bobby Whitlock( gonna be almost 50 yrs ago ).Fantastic album every song .If you haven't yet please do another recording of Back In My Life Again PLEASE!!!!! Going home after work and going to spin this album for the 1st time in along time.Thanks
I love the dog sacked out in the background! The great thing about a great painting and a great recording is that sense of permanence. Congrats on both ends Bobby! ✌️😎🎶
So happy to see this video! Love you guys! Just finished reading Bobby’s autobiography for the second time, and am thankful for the amazing talent and indomitable spirit and love that you and CoCo share with this world ❤️
Thank you. Great interview, put me in my way-back machine. I was (kinda) there, at least listening to the music when it first came out. Fulfills my nostalgic soul.....
This was great. I wish I heard more on Delaney, and what he was like, bad and good. I did see D&B three times (70 & 71), and they were incredible. The first concert was at the Strawberry Fields music festival in Canada in the summer of 1970. D&B had a cool guest that night as they often did. He was Jose Feliciano. Of all the bands in the three day festival, I thought that D&B&Friends gave the best concert. Where can we find more on Delaney?
@@WS-ij1fu Very sorry to hear that. I wish they would reissue is first solo album with lots of outtakes etc. What a fantastic singer, songwriter and guitar-slinger.
@@SingleMalt77005 Could play piano, drums, mandolin, banjo as well, he's just one of those musicians if you needed an Appalachian dulcimer or a Tongan nose flute he'd come back half an hour later and lay down the track
Wait... I was always under the assumption that the first EC album was the dominos + D&B... that all the keys were by Bobby... Im so glad i got things a bit more straight now.
Agree 100%. For all the praise he gets I think his bass work is overlooked. Listen to the bass parts on the first CSN record. They're gorgeous. There had to be a reason Hendrix wanted Stills to walk away from everything and be his bass player.
now, Kim used to be married to Delaney Bramlett, she sang with many people as a singer, back up singer, now Kim Carmel is married to Bobby, they knew one another for a long time, but I don't remember how she got the name CoCo. Love this team...Bobby W, has been one of my all time heroes growing up, Derek and the Dominoes was important in everyone's life the way Thorn Tree was the coda to the dominoes record...it was actually my favorite tune off of that album. I never really went for the Delaney and Bonnie Sound...to busy, and the mixes never sounded 'right'. 😄
Bobby I am glad you found another passion to express yourself. Thanks for your work with some of the greatest musicians. What I find interesting is that Yes Eric has made solo records but he chooses to record with some of the same musicians. So his albums do have a 'band' feel. That is even more true when he tours. Nathan East, Steve Gadd, Andrew Fairweather Low , Billy Preston, Greg Phillinganes, Chris Stainton. They may not have a band moniker but they are as tight as any band. I wish you reflect on playing with Carl Randle. I have no knowledge but I suspect that Carl introduced J.J. Cale to Eric. I know they were musicians from Oklahoma. There are a lot of native sons and daughters of Oklahoma who have made their mark on several genres of music!
All I know is, damn, I've been hearing Bobby Whitlock for fifty years. This guy has played with a ton of incredible musicians and still remembers and can relate a ton of entertaining stories. Thank you Mr. Whitlock...stay healthy and well.
Thank you Ralph
ditto! all these folks, wishing i had SEEN you, play! stay safe and healthy !
👍🎸✌🏽 I agree with you
I’ve always been disappointed that Eric didn’t do more work with Bobby. The songs they wrote and performed together were pure magic. I could only imagine more time together.
i guess it's kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to stream new tv shows online ?
@Ray Zander try flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Kelvin Tate definitely, I have been watching on FlixZone for since april myself =)
@Kelvin Tate Thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it!
@Ray Zander glad I could help :D

Bobby you and Leon have been the sound track of my life and for that i thank you ,,,,
I am binging on your channel...thanks and respect to both of you!
The live album is my favorite Dominos record, too. It was amazing. Magic doesn’t last forever and trying to make it last forever just destroys it. Thank you for creating magic.
Bobby Whitlock should be a household name. Fantastic musician!!
He is around my place. Kind Regards, 👍 🙏 Maximum Respect, and Peace ~ Loo 👊 😎
He is with musicians that were around in the Sixties & 70's..
He sure should. Most people don't even realize that some of the stuff they heard came from Bobby Whitlock. I always loved that great voice.
Wow. "Let it Rain" was always one of my favorite tracks and I always loved the bass part. I never would have guessed that was Stephen Stills. But I'm not surprised. He's a great musician.
It’s only a small part towards the end. He answered a little run by Leon’s piano. Once you hear it you’ll know.
@@tolbert1671 I was just listening to that section the other day. While Steven Stills is playing that lick, you still hear the original bass part playing as well, which I assume is Carl Radle?
@@tolbert1671 Funny, it sounds just like the beginning, too. Not sure he only played just towards the end.
I knew stills was on it but thought he did the piano part. Guess I mixed it up with the track he did with Hendrix - played piano on Jimi’s “My Friend.”
Why does love got to be so sad...right up there as a phenomenal jam

I love your stories that touch on so many cornerstones in music.....glad you're finally sharing them. Fascinating.
Great interview & insights... with thanks & kudos to Bobby, for all his contributions to the unforgettable music of Clapton & others...!

Dang it would be fun hangin out with you Bobby. I'd be laughin my tail off listening to your old stories all day. The serious stuff would be good too.
I was just thinking about what you said. It's like a song is a statement or a paragraph and a painting is a whole story. Love your stories so much.
I would love to hear about the band!!
I do a radio show in New Mexico...I agree, the live album was fantastic. I've played all the songs on the show I do.
Love the memories BW, and Cocos prompts.keep them coming. Derek and the Dominoes live were great I was lucky to see you play Manchester
Free Trade Hall a million years ago 😁
Dominoes stuff is still my favourite record eric ever did. Just a great chemistry musically between those guys.

You can tell a persons temperament .....by his dogs behaviors............... This is a calm dude..........I betcha
I saw Bobby @ the MainPoint, near Philly, in the early 70s. A friend at the time was his guitar player on that gig and on "Raw Velvet", Rick Vito.
Hit up your buddy Rick for some stories!
I listen to Bobby and I feel like a buddy. Great recollections
Looking forward to the Dickie Betts stories.
He’s certainly a legend...and I’m fortunate to have seen him multiple times solo and with the Brothers..love him
Happy New Year. Interesting infoirmation about Stphen Stills playing base on "Let it Rain", with a pick. 🤩
Ty Bobby& CoCo! Love to hear about Little Wing.🧚
i enjoy your little interviews giving us a glimpse into the studios keep up the great works .
This was great. I wish I heard more on Delaney, and what he was like, bad and good. I did see D&B three times (70 & 71), and they were incredible. The first concert was at the Strawberry Fields music festival in Canada in the summer of 1970. D&B had a cool guest that night as they often did. He was Jose Feliciano. Of all the bands in the three day festival, I thought that D&B&Friends gave the best concert.
Where can we find more on Delaney?
Are they both alive?
@@jamesmack3314 No, Delaney passed away about 8 years ago at the age of 69.
@@chuckmatses6803 thanks
STILLS is a fantastic real musician.....he was musically fully developed in his teens.....voice and all!
I'm with ya. But what happened to his voice? Just age? Some disease?
@@SingleMalt77005 He suffers from severe deafness which must have effected his singing
@@WS-ij1fu Very sorry to hear that. I wish they would reissue is first solo album with lots of outtakes etc. What a fantastic singer, songwriter and guitar-slinger.
@@SingleMalt77005 Could play piano, drums, mandolin, banjo as well, he's just one of those musicians if you needed an Appalachian dulcimer or a Tongan nose flute he'd come back half an hour later and lay down the track
I would love to hear the stories about the southern rockers!
I read your book. Super interesting. Congratulations on not just surviving but thriving!
I actually always was impressed with that bass. It almost sounded Entwistle like.
Good comparison. I had not thought about that but yep it sure sounds Entwistle-ish.
Wait... I was always under the assumption that the first EC album was the dominos + D&B... that all the keys were by Bobby... Im so glad i got things a bit more straight now.
Hey Bobby, mention your website next time so people can find your artwork
Happy New Year Bobby, CoCo and fur family! ❤☮
Loved the content.... :-)
Stills is the man!!
Agree 100%. For all the praise he gets I think his bass work is overlooked. Listen to the bass parts on the first CSN record. They're gorgeous. There had to be a reason Hendrix wanted Stills to walk away from everything and be his bass player.
Thanks for these informative sessions. Have a healthy, happy and prosperous 2021 Bobby & CoCo.
A brutally honest look at the music in those days
Bobby, Big fan here. Read your book too. Look for more to come. Dave
now, Kim used to be married to Delaney Bramlett, she sang with many people as a singer, back up singer, now Kim Carmel is married to Bobby, they knew one another for a long time, but I don't remember how she got the name CoCo.
Love this team...Bobby W, has been one of my all time heroes growing up, Derek and the Dominoes was important in everyone's life the way Thorn Tree was the coda to the dominoes record...it was actually my favorite tune off of that album. I never really went for the Delaney and Bonnie Sound...to busy, and the mixes never sounded 'right'. 😄
Saw Dereck & dominoes 1970 Baltimore Md. in the round! FRONT ROW!! Will never forget!!
Awesome!
Happy New Year CoCo and Bobby .... Keep it goin yall .
Bobby I am glad you found another passion to express yourself. Thanks for your work with some of the greatest musicians. What I find interesting is that Yes Eric has made solo records but he chooses to record with some of the same musicians. So his albums do have a 'band' feel. That is even more true when he tours. Nathan East, Steve Gadd, Andrew Fairweather Low , Billy Preston, Greg Phillinganes, Chris Stainton. They may not have a band moniker but they are as tight as any band.
I wish you reflect on playing with Carl Randle. I have no knowledge but I suspect that Carl introduced J.J. Cale to Eric. I know they were musicians from Oklahoma. There are a lot of native sons and daughters of Oklahoma who have made their mark on several genres of music!
