God, I miss his friendship, smile,laugh and the tears we shared. I can never forget my friend who showed me such kindness, I only hope I helped him too. Etta is on her way D
A true master shows that it doesn't take ear-splitting volume to bring the house down. A gentle Stratocaster and some genuine soul do the job just fine.
and a musical thief..though he called it borrowing..."never ending love song" wasn't written by him..it was stolen by him...yeah he could sing..whoopee...
I never tire of hearing this song and so wish he and Bonnie would have been able to make their relationship last. Imagine what music could have been like if those two had stayed in the business together for the past couple decades. This song says it all--the highs and lows of fame.l I am sorry his voice is now stilled..............
This song raises the age old question- is the joy of reaching the top worth the pain of being discarded (as is so standard in the entertainment world), or is it better to have never known either the highs or lows? Delaney was (and is) a musical genius. He candidly admitted that his own poor decisions are what shot down the Delaney and Bonnie star. Greatness is a funny thing, though, especially in the internet era. Even if it goes under-appreciated in its own time, it doesn't stay down forever.
And he's now the singer in that blues band up in Heaven. So for now the rest of us back on Earth no longer have a voice. Delaney, the pain was too great for you to bear so we will bear it for you. Miss you so much.
THis is so great ...thanks for posting. I am a recent Delaney and Bonnie fan , What is he doing now....? THis is so heartfelt...........its how you image music was before......well before progress.
The only white guy I know that could match the soul of a black man in his vocals. What an unbelievable musical legacy and it's amazing how many people have never heard of him or his influence on pop music. RIP...too bad, so sad.
very underrated super talent - never got his due - 4 some1 who taught other greats he should hav been more revered he was EXCELLENT super talented family - delaney, bonnie & bekka
you know there are reasons why he will never get into the hall..maybe you should look those up...how many hit songs did they have? he "claims" to have written all the songs on Layla with Eric..strange how Bobby Whitlock's name is there with Eric...might be one of the reasons...
@@mikeadams2351 It' s educational to note that Delaney was very adept at hoarding other musicians ideas and capitalizing on them in the process. I think he was a terrific singer and performer but I don't trust the presence of his name on songwriting credits.
Agreed. They are doing it on purpose I'm sure. Like Todd Rundgren & Peter Frampton. I met Delaney in 1978 and he invited me to watch him work in the recording studio over several days. He said, "Let me show you how the big boys do it". I listened and learned from a man who showed George Harrison how to slide. I am grateful for the time he gave me. Truly a good hearted country man. I didn't get famous but I still play with some guys in Nashville. Just for fun.
look the guy played with some famous people..THAT'S it...sure he stole some songs but does that make him ready for the hall? they were NEVER that popular..hell mention their name and nobody knows who you're talking about...quick name their BIG hit...do I hear crickets?
@@mikeadams2351 NO, they didn't play with famous people, famous people played with THEM. He was on hit television show, in a respected band and was considered a musicians musician. There aren't five women in music with more powerful voices than Bonnie. Delaney taught George Harrison how to play slide guitar and taught Eric Clapton to sing. Nobody can name hits by Grandmaster Flash or many Hall of Fame inductees... that name a song argument is ridiculous. If Hendrix, Duane Allman, Leon Russell, George Harrison and countless others - ie. people who know rock music, they'd no doubt be early inductees.
@@Coach49217 name all of his big hits..go ahead I'll wait while you try and find something...name all of the songs that he wrote that we all look back on and love..I'll wait...hey Clapton played with him because he wanted to be OUT of the spot light..he could not have picked a better band...did you notice that when all of the guys he played with dumped his chump ass they made TWO great records? All Things Must Pass and Layla...if he was so great and all of these guys loved him..where was he on these records? that's right in nowheresville...if he was such a great musician..a musician's musician..why didn't he play on these records? did you believe a line of crap? could be...
Very nice. I'm just kind of checking through UA-cam seeing what kind of competition my granddaughter's up against with her new music video. It's obvious there are a lot of talented people out here.
If you keep looking at the competition instead of perfecting your skills, you might as well hang it up because all you got is a loser's mentality. Come on, you can do better. 11/22/2020
@zbestwun2001 the guitar in question was Duane's at one time which he sold and Delaney ended up with it and then Duane wanted it back but he said; "no way" and it was a Les Paul Jr.
If indeed that's Duane's guitar, trust me Delaney did not MAKE him give it to him, anymore than he MADE, Harrison give him his Strat. They gifted D with them.
I believe it's on Delaney and Bonnie's first record on the Stax label - Home. I think it's been re-release. Fantastic record. I've only become aware of it recently. I think it was released by Stax during this crazy promotion that Al Bell put together in 69 or 70 in which they released something like 27 records at the same time...no wonder this one never got any traction.
Thank you for the information. I’m going to try and find it. Pontotoc is my hometown and I can’t believe I waited this long in life to learn about him.
I'm trying to figure out where I have seen the female back up vocalist. the best i can come up with is JJ Cale's rhythm guitarist of many years but i don't think so. Very familiar looking though. anyone ?
I don't care who we are. All of us have to loose or win from out transgressions. People can't condemn people. Only a Holy God can judge guilty men women.

Ben Moses exactly true music
RIP Delaney Bramlett.
Sooooo talented. He really & truly paid his dues. He should be in the Hall of Fame....
Absolutely
Saw this Live....ripped my heart out then...rips my heart out now. This man was touched by God. True Talent. True Gentleman. Truly Missed.
and a musical thief..though he called it borrowing..."never ending love song" wasn't written by him..it was stolen by him...yeah he could sing..whoopee...
@@mikeadams2351who wrote Never Ending love song ?
@@BBPalmer420 it was written by Jim Gordon, the drummer.

Delaney Bramlett. What more can you say. It makes a sentence.
fabulous blues/rock talent, just like his wife & daughter. he's still w/us in bekka.
Still brings me to tears ten years after.
Every time I see this clip the tears come.
Miss you Delaney.
❤️ Chad Watson!! Delaney Bramlett had soul, deep soul
Delaney and Janice Waldrop were voted most cute as seniors at Randolph High School.
This clip never fails to bring me to tears.
Tears of grief at the loss of this deep soul.
I will never forget you Delaney.

Delaney, the pain was too great for you to bear so we will bear it for you. Miss you so much.
Miss you Delaney...
Incredible talent. He deserves sooo much more recognition than he has. Such an inspiring musician.
That voice has always brought a smile to my mouth and tears to my eyes.
Wow. Hearing this for the first time. I've listened 4 times. Wow! What voices.
Thanks for the post. Loving the memories. Thanks Delaney. My heart pours to your family and loved ones.
I love this video. This is real great music!
Awesome!
THis is so great ...thanks for posting. I am a recent Delaney and Bonnie fan ,
What is he doing now....?
THis is so heartfelt...........its how you image music was before......well before progress.
powerful soul. rip delaney

What a honest and beautiful rendition of that song.
Great video. EC once said everything he knew about singing he learned from Delaney. Nadine
Nadine??

Some of these posts are 10 years old and still no Delaney and Bonnie induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. SAD

Fame is overrated. Fun with good friends is priceless and forever. A comment under Linda Ronstadt's version brought me here. What a lovely detour!

Love this!😊
Chad Watson on bass. Is that Co Co Carmel on backing Vocals?
More of this please!
Lovely

yeah!
if you like this you will love delaney&bonnie in the movie :vanishing point"
@zbestwun2001 the guitar in question was Duane's at one time which he sold and Delaney ended up with it and then Duane wanted it back but he said; "no way" and it was a Les Paul Jr.
amazing RiP
I believe they were Chad Watson and Essra Mohawk.
The instrumentation is so sparse, yet the arrangement is incredibly powerful. True to the soul music tradition.
I just discovered him. I am from Pontotoc also. I can’t believe I’m just discovering him. Which album is this song on? I want to buy it now!!!
Sit around and wondering why they had to leave, mercy...
You're right, it's not Bekka, it's Essra Mowhawk.
Bingo !! Thanks.
If indeed that's Duane's guitar, trust me Delaney did not MAKE him give it to him, anymore than he MADE, Harrison give him his Strat.
They gifted D with them.
I love this song. Does he have it on an album somewhere? I would love to buy it.
I believe it's on Delaney and Bonnie's first record on the Stax label - Home. I think it's been re-release. Fantastic record. I've only become aware of it recently.

I'm trying to figure out where I have seen the female back up vocalist. the best i can come up with is JJ Cale's rhythm guitarist of many years but i don't think so. Very familiar looking though. anyone ?
Who are the other two singing with Delaney?
@CharlieMoher it's his daughter, Bekka
Nope...mystery solved Essra Mowhawk
When he wasn’t beating up Bonnie he was awfully good.
Ok...I was there in the day...ok It was just ok
@daledrive44
I'm not about to accuse a stranger of having a fibbing problem, but she looks nothing at all like the photos I've seen of Bekka.
Essra Mohawk ... I though the bass player looked a bit like Tim Drummond but apparently it's Chad Watson.
I don't care who we are. All of us have to loose or win from out transgressions. People can't condemn people. Only a Holy God can judge guilty men women.
You surely can't pretend on a song like that. If you know, you know.
once a thief always a thief (borrowing?)...once a liar always a liar...
Not much more to say.
michael mcdonald was pretty soulful for a white guy too. maybe not quite as much as mr. bramlett though.
I believe they were Chad Watson and Essra Mohawk.
