I was 15 when I bought “All Things Must Pass.” I could not stop listening to it.. I have all of the Beatle solo records, and still, I have to say, ATMP is the best..it is a wonder of a record, and you, Bobby Whitlock, God bless you ... you made this happen ... I thank you for your music, you, and all the love ...
Great American artist from the southern heartland where American roots blues and country music is born. His contributions to music with some of the masters will be remembered forever. It would be great to see him and his lovely wife perform live in the future.😎🤘These interviews are informative, insightful & inspirational !!!! It's great to now be able to connect the real person behind some of this great music. Johnny G.
The Layla album is firmly within my heart.I remember the 1st time I heard Have You Ever Loved a Woman,about 50 years ago.Clapton kept pointing the way back to the bluesmen who created this music,and I have been listening ever since.From early New Orleans jazz to BB King,and all points in between.
I’ve watched quite a few of your recollections over the last few days & although you have doubt enriched my life beyond measure over many years, yet despite you’re assured status as “Legend” you seem like such a beautifully humble human being. Faith in humanity restored. Thank you.
Hi Bobby & CoCo. I'm from Surrey in England and know many of the places you talk about. I used to live in Weybridge, and had a friend who lived in St. Georges Hills. I'm fascinated by your story and absolutely love all of your videos. CoCo sounds super cool too, it would be great to hear some of her life story too.
The music business.....ruthless. People I admire....Neil Young, The Rolling Stones....I could go on and on, seem to be very ruthless with other people at times. I know after playing for 40 years in NYC....I personally couldn't live with myself screwing over people. Maybe that's why I'm not a "professional" musician anymore....or maybe I just wasn't good enough.....who cares.....my point is that Bobby appears to be a sensitive, giving person/like Clapton....I'm just happy to have been able to play music....success or no success...happy to be alive and happy at 62...many of my peers/friends/band members didn't make it....just lost another 2 months ago to booze......really admire you and love your channel.....peace
At 7:41, Eric "getting the call from George to be on the album" of All Things Must Pass. Also, Bobby dating Patty's sister Paula and "living at George's place for a while"
Talking about George, he would pop into the Highwayman pub in Woodcote just off the A4074. It’s about 5.3 miles west of Friar Park. Do u remember hanging out there with him Bobby? I ask since we would frequent that “watering hole” as schoolboys come our 18th birthday.
I had to go back and watch, from the beginning, all of your videos. I haven't quite made it to all of them but, I will. I can tell you this, Bobby talks just like me. Lol. I'm from Mississippi, he must be from here also. I grew up on this music and thoroughly enjoy all Bobbys stories. Thank you!!
So that's one thing I had in common with Bobby; we both lived in Chertsey at some point in our lives. Fortunately (for me) my house didn't burn down. Unfortunately (for me) I never had a Ferrari. Great story, yet again.
I'm Mystified. Bobby Whitlock mentions at 1:27 being at Hurtwood Edge for nearly a year and seeing a big wooden trunk full of records. Hurtwood Edge has been owned by Eric Clapton for years. George Harrison lived on the Claremont Estate near Esher in Kinfauns, before buying Friars Park. Can anyone throw light on this?
The way I heard it, he was staying with Eric at Hurtwood Edge for a year before he moved in with George at Friar Park. It was at Hurtwood Edge that he discovered Eric’s blues record collection. He says he discovered them after Cream because that’s when he was staying there, but Eric would have had those records since the mid 60s. Funnily enough a Clapton biography I read contained an anecdote about Eric discovering the collection of blues records owned by George Harrison when they first became friends. He ‘borrowed’ many of them which were apparently never returned to George, much to his frustration! I would bet that many of the rare and old records discovered by Bobby at Eric’s house were actually originally George’s.
Sorry I should have said Clapton had the records since the early 60’s. That would be my best guess, particularly as he first met George around that time. I remember him being quoted as saying he had never seen such a treasure trove of rare blues records, as that which George had amassed. He couldn’t help himself! I’m not saying they were all ‘borrowed’ from the collection of George, but I reckon a big chunk were.
I am now starting to go back to the start of these videos from the start now Bobby and CoCo. Things are now getting more clear to me. You come into this say with the 120th video you have missed out of much. Sad way you got done by Stigwood. What a petty man. Then you mention you wound up in Aarhus Denmark which oddly enough was where I wound up myself for 6 months one time. Not sure how that came to be but it was a great place to hang out
Bobby, Sad you never mentioned Eric's girlfriend Alice Ormsby-Gore. She's sadly a forgotten piece of the History surrounding that early scene at Hurtwood Edge. Think she ended up pretty destitute and died of a Heroin overdose in a rooming house in Bournemouth U.K a few years back. Anyways, thanks for the quality music man.
@@BW-CC Thank you both kindly. I appreciate your reply. She was apparently a very young..but bubbly enigmatic girl whom I believe.at the least, deserves a song dedicated to her memory. That would be so nice. As, out of it all. She must have suffered tremendously. out on her own. I knew 'Rick's' grandma Rose by the way, who lived in Shamley Green - then back in Church Row, Ripley. Wonderful down to earth lady. I always leave flowers for her whenever I pass through Ripley. So, thanks again Bobby & Coco. I learned a lot..especially in humility ! from your wonderful uploads. Keep on growing !
I hate to toot my own horn but I knew that bobby was talking post cream when the lady doing the interview thought it was pre. Broke my arm patting my self on the back. I was wondering if he had a cat too. I've read that Eric built model aircraft from balsa wood in his spare time. A lost art.
My 9th grade history teacher at Fulmore Jr. High on S. Congress Ave. back in 1967 made it a point to play Leadbelly blue records for the class but he got laughed down by all the kids in the class. I never hear Leadbelly mentioned, is he considered a minor talent in blues music?
Ironic that UK immigration wouldn't let Bobby back into the country even though he was a property owner and had a history of working in entertainment.....today, if he had crossed the channel in a rubber dinghy they would have welcomed him with open arms and put him up in a 4 star hotel, given him spending money, medical care, and food! How things change but NOT for the better!
@@BW-CC Please allow me to express what a gift or treasure these conversations between you two are. Listening to the stories brought out by you has been one of the few, true joys of the past year. Thank you for capturing and publicly sharing all that you have with us.
That carpet story!! Aaaahahaha. Bobby should have had a side career as a comedian! Bobby: Your carpets fell apart. Eric: Oh...... Aaaahahahahaha. Priceless!!
Do you realize how evil that act of Stigwood's was? Say Bobby had changed his view in the ensuing ten years on being a supporting musician - if only for, say, a single tour, perhaps prompted by a substantial offer from Eric Clapton of a million bucks to play on a world tour. Bobby would have had no choice but to decline and be out that money.
i wonder if the 2 little little "thumbs down"know how stupid they make themselves look,,,if Bobbies fans are like me at all....we are laughing our asses off at them.
@@BW-CC just an observer you two...your ch, has reawakened me to everything and ,,,,more on why i love B.W,...i admit as the years flew by ,B.W. solo stuff were somewhat forgotten by me(i have his first two solo albums i got new),,,thanks to you both i have GLADLY rediscovered the music that i love....iv continued to listen to my D&Dominos and now Bobby Whitlock has rightly REJOINED them,thanks to you both and your riveting stories...cheers from Upstate N.Y.!
Who was the "Tulsa bunch" whose keyboardist Bobby had visions of displacing on his return to Great Britain? (If E.C.'s band: I thought Bobby had no interest in touring has a side player in that way?)
Bobby, I don’t know how you rebuffed Robert Satigwood’s advances but obviously it didn’t go well, and now in hindsight we know most of the management in the music industry was gay, and if as a young guy you were disrespectful, or didn’t handle a pass from a powerful gay man, you might get blackballed. Harry Nilsson was offered to be managed by Brain Epstein but he was disrespectful because Brain was gay in front of George and from that point on George didn’t have anything to do with him Kit Lambert Brian Epstein Robert Stigwood Nat Weiss David Geffen and Clive Davis Danny Fields Simon Napier-Bell Jann Wenner

Thanks Brian
I feel the same. I got ATMP for Christmas in 1970. Still my favorite! I too was 15 yrs old at the time.
I just bought it on record my self , except im 37 and its 2021
These are such fascinating discussions. Thank you for sharing, Bobby.
agreed - incredibly captivating.
Just wish she didn't interrupt his flow, many more things he was to say? Otherwise its a wonderful insight into the music past!

Wow, what a great memory he has, a true treasure of rock and roll history.
Love these segments and it is nice to listen to them during these times. Excellent !
Such a good friend to Eric. Loved your part in life in 12 bars. Fantastic

Cousin lives in Weybridge, Surrey. Visited several times-alas only drove past St. George’s Hill
Very sad at the end. A beautiful man cast aside when he had so much to offer..
I had to go back to the start of your videos. This is enough for one night. So glad you shared these. :)

Thanks Richard, play for the love and that it's the right thing to do for you, all the rest will come. No matter how old you are.
This is the first one ive watched that made me sad..thank you for sharing
Brutal honesty. Love these history lessons.
At 7:41, Eric "getting the call from George to be on the album" of All Things Must Pass. Also, Bobby dating Patty's sister Paula and "living at George's place for a while"
Absolutely brilliant thank you
We're good..
Thanks again to you both. This is important information.
Cream was an awesome Jazz group. Bobby was just as good. Just listen to the All Things Must Pass jams. Awesome.....
Thanks for this! Bobby is a generous guy. Listen to Raw Velvet! Amazing.
Talking about George, he would pop into the Highwayman pub in Woodcote just off the A4074. It’s about 5.3 miles west of Friar Park. Do u remember hanging out there with him Bobby? I ask since we would frequent that “watering hole” as schoolboys come our 18th birthday.

Thanks for telling a real story of what went down
Really enjoying these interviews.. Thanks
So that's one thing I had in common with Bobby; we both lived in Chertsey at some point in our lives. Fortunately (for me) my house didn't burn down. Unfortunately (for me) I never had a Ferrari. Great story, yet again.
George did a song called 'Pisces fish on his last album released after he passed..great song.
Whole album great. To me it's right up there with ATMP.
@@benmeltzer it is a Great album!
great info enjoy these talks

Incorrect, we have talked about Alice. She died of an overdose many years ago. She has not been forgotten on this end...au contraire.

@@mickymantle3233 She was Eric's girlfriend, not Bobby's. She wasn't doing drugs until after Bobby left. She wasn't around during the Domino's.

That's unfortunate for them, but it left a lasting impression on you, that's all one can hope for.
CC
Why? Why did they ghost you?
A friend said he did a day or two engineering the Layla sessions when Dowd tapped out. Do you remember an engineer named Nick?
Never happened, Tom was there before and after everybody.
@@BW-CC Thanks for settling an age old question
What was the cat licking?
Ironic that UK immigration wouldn't let Bobby back into the country even though he was a property owner and had a history of working in entertainment.....today, if he had crossed the channel in a rubber dinghy they would have welcomed him with open arms and put him up in a 4 star hotel, given him spending money, medical care, and food!

Now I realize how uncool I am because I have copies of my own albums, of my own songs that I enjoy listening to. Yet I'm happy.
Good for you
