Yeah well the first rock performer to record with Curtis was Buddy Holly. He recognized what King could contribute and his obvious musical ability even then. Not just Clapton, but Jimi Hendrix later recorded with Curtis. King recorded on Waylon Jennings' first ever record produced by Buddy Holly of an old Cajun classic Jole Blon.
which is an honest, forthright way of saying: "On my best day, if King Curtis' rhythm section holds my hand on each syllable, chapter, and verse -- I, Eric Clapton, guitarist, may be half as talented as Duane Allman."
absolutely. incredible. thanks for posting this gem!

I'd forgotten King Curtis was on this tune. It's Delany playing the other guitar part in the breakdown, great stuff.
