BOBBY WHITLOCK
"Bobby" Whitlock is an American singer, songwriter and musician. He is best known for being a member of blues-rock band Derek and the Dominos with Eric Clapton in 197071.
Whitlock's musical career began with Memphis soul acts such as Sam & Dave and Booker T. & the MG's before he joined Delaney & Bonnie and Friends in 1968.
Delaney & Bonnie were supporting Clapton's short-lived supergroup with Steve Winwood, Blind Faith.
Clapton later described Whitlock as "without doubt the most energetic sideman I had ever seen".
His association with Delaney & Bonnie bandmate Clapton led to Whitlock participating in sessions for George Harrison's All Things Must Pass triple album (1970), and the formation of Derek and the Dominos that year.
On the band's sole studio album, the critically acclaimed Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs (1970), Whitlock wrote or co-wrote six of the album's fourteen tracks, including "Tell the Truth", "Anyday" and "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?"
Whitlock participated in a session for US soul singer Doris Troy's solo album on the Beatles' Apple record label.
The album was co-produced by George Harrison. Through Harrison, Whitlock and the band then played at John Lennon's "Peace for Christmas" concert, on December 15, 1969.
In early 1970, Whitlock with Delaney & Bonnie and Friends backed Clapton on his debut solo album, and toured America with him.
Whitlock then returned to England to stay with Clapton at his Surrey home
Seeking to start a new band, Whitlock and Clapton reunited with Radle and Gordon at a session for P.P. Arnold, before going on to back Harrison on his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass.
Whitlock has described the latter sessions as "spectacular in every way".
Harrison biographer Simon Leng identifies Whitlock as one of two "core keyboard players" on All Things Must Pass.
Whitlock played piano on a studio recording for Harrison's "Beware of Darkness"
In June 1970, early in the All Things Must Pass sessions, Clapton, Whitlock, Radle and Gordon formed the blues-rock band Derek and the Dominos.
Their first release was a US-only single, "Tell the Truth", produced by Spector and written primarily by Whitlock.
Whitlock Clapton and friends went on to record a double album called Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs (1970) As well as a remake of "Tell the Truth",
the album included five other songs written or co-written by Whitlock, including "Anyday", "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?", "Keep on Growing", "Thorn Tree in the Garden", and "Bell Bottom Blues".
In August, once their work on Harrison's album was complete, Derek and the Dominos toured the UK.
That summer, Whitlock and his bandmates also participated in London sessions for Dr John's album The Sun, Moon & Herbs
Whitlock recorded his debut solo album, Bobby Whitlock (1972), at London's Olympic Studios in 1971,
Whitlock played acoustic or electric rhythm guitar on much of the album, which also included musical contributions from all the Dominos
the Bramletts, Harrison, Keys, Price and Keltner.
Whitlock's second solo album was Raw Velvet, released in November 1972. It included appearances by Clapton and Gordon,
The album was co-produced by Jimmy Miller, whose connection with the Rolling Stones led to Whitlock making an uncredited contribution to the band's Exile on Main St. double album (1972).
By this point, Layla's title track had become a hit song, following its release as a single to promote the History of Eric Clapton compilation (1972),
leading to a critical reappraisal of Derek and the Dominos and belated commercial success. A 1970-recorded live album, In Concert,
was similarly well-received when issued in January 1973
