R.I.P. Bobby Whitlock

Forums:

I still listen to the Dominoes Live albums

Clapton did the Cream Reunion and Winwood tour but never toured again  with Whitlock or had him at a Crossroads gig .Wierd

Bobby put up quite a few YouTube videos talking about the old days and became a respected painter.

Also put out one of the best Rock n Roll biographies there is.

That Layla piano solo may be the most recognized piano solo in Rock history. 
RIP Bobby Whitlock!!!!

The piano solo was added after the Layla song was recorded and done by drummer Jim Gorden

who apparently ripped the riff from Rita Cooledge. Whitlock didn't like the piano add on ; didn't feel it fit the song .

Well, once again, I need to learn to keep my mouth shut.  

RIP.   Just had that first self titled Eric Clapton album on the turntable yesterday and those early Delaney & Bonnie albums are in regular rotation too.

>>>>who apparently ripped the riff from Rita Cooledge.    

When Rita went to Clapton's manager to complain, his response was:  "Who do you think you are? You’re a girl singer — what are you going to do?”
