[DYNODRUM]

Thats, Leon on PYANO, and if it was not for Delaney, ole Eric would have had another road to Hoe, Thanks for Clip ..

[farone100]

He was soooooooo underrated  one of my heros

[bearriver666]

Good video , saw B&D in concert in 1979, they were terrible and he was swearing at the audience.

[Ryzum]

@bearriver666

\wrong year they were no longer together in 79!



[bearriver666]

@bearriver666 A typo ............saw them in'72. He was a great musician but that nite he blew it . 

[DeltaDregs]

What voice!

[tomrwest]

That's Leon Russell on piano.

[thisux7x7]

Everybody can't just be inducted into the RRHOF, what would be the point or the honor in that?

[inchargenow]

Hmmm Delaney Bramlett... serial wife beater from the Ike Turner school.  Loved Delaney and Bonnie, until I found out about that cowardly abuser. He used to beat Bonnie black and blue, it's been well documented.

[deepfreezevideo]

In 2002 Delaney stopped by Kulak's Woodshed in Van Nuys and recorded this sad and haunting solo.

"Everybody Loves A Winner".

You could see the sadness and regret in his eyes and hear it in his voice.

[momsteroni]

Leon Russell on piano. wooooo hoooooooooo

[Forrest5]

Delaney was an old friend but his music lives on.Rhino Handmade will issue a four disc 52-track deluxe edition in July. The set will feature more than three hours of unreleased music from Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett and their “friends.”

[Utubestir]

but dont forget that he used be beat Bonnie before she left him......Kinda like

Ike and Tina.......

[Steviesmainfan]

I SOOOO wanna see Delaney and Bonnie get Inducted to the RRHOF... They have my vote! Love the family too xoxo

[CalgarySandy]

Thank god the Beatles brought an end to the good ol' rock 'n' roll suits.

[HighMaintenance2099]

[fadermaster]

Interesting.

[scifiwritir]

That guy had real artistry in his vocals.

[HighMaintenance2099]

GO TO FACEBOOK JOIN THE MOVEMENT

Delaney Bramlett deserves induction into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

[unclebobunclebob]

@HighMaintenance2099 it will never happen. Not enough "hits." But he's a Hall of Famer in my book. So is bonnie.

[MrSluggo666]

@HighMaintenance2099 The cleaning woman at the rock and roll hall of fame will eventually be inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame ,it means shit !

[ROCKSTARCRANE]

I got to work with DB in the late 70's.  Very cool guy and a style all his own. Lot's of fun to work with - a real honest southern boy..

[cliffworks4321]

The series house band, the Shin-diggers (later renamed the Shindogs), featured a young Glen Campbell, Joey Cooper, Chuck Blackwell (drums), Billy Preston, James Burton, Delaney Bramlett, Larry Knechtel (on bass) and pianist Leon Russell.[6]

The Blossoms, an all-female vocal group featuring Darlene Love, backed up many of the performers and were occasionally featured in spotlight performances. Donna Loren, Jackie DeShannon and Bobby Sherman were also regular vocalists on the series.[6]

[yardbirdsweet]

Just read about the house band for this show, and HOLY CRAP did it have an epic group of session guys or what? It's a virtual who's who of 60s session gods.

[cliffworks4321]

would love to know all the players' names can anyone help?

[bluemovie001]

jim gordon chatted up his mom, too. with a hammer.

[zbestwun2001]

That's a classless remark.

[MattHatter]

My gosh, I know the late '60s changed people, but boy did it ever change Delaney and Leon Russell (seated at the piano). Can't believe I'm seeing these guys all clean shaven with greased back hairstyles. Delaney and Bonnie sang "Happy Birthday" to my mother at a club for her 23rd birthday in August 1971 and then proceeded to tear into "Only You Know And I Know." Jim Gordon then chatted up my mom in the club's kitchen.

[lardjumpins76]

Delaney Bramlett had to get noticed somehow.

[twochaudio]

,,,I see it ,,,, don`t answer it

[twochaudio]

...was this the guy with Bonnie???

[fendermustang1]

please

[tvdok]

WOW!!! WHAT A TREASURE!!! IT'S GOTTA BE "THE SHINDOGS" - IS THAT A CLEAN SHAVEN LEON RUSSELL ON THE 88's???? THANX FOR SHARIN'!!!!

[Darius50]

On no, just found this. Delaney showed up at my house for a casual jam back in the seventies. A nice fella with a great voice. We traded songs and down a bit of hooch that nite. I think I've got a recording of it somewhere. C'est la Vie is a Chuck Berry song methinks. The curse of getting old is the passing of those who leave first.

[rmgj]

Well, lucky you, had the chance to share some time with him, cheers¡¡¡

[fendermustang1]

post the recording cause i envy you

[unclebobunclebob]

Joe Cocker stole his band. I'll never completely forgive him for that.

[aarfeld]

I think you have it a little bit backwards. Carl Radle, Jim Gordon, and finally Bobby Whitlock left Delaney and Bonnie's band in the spring of 1970 to join Eric Clapton in forming Derek and the Dominos. I think you're thinking of Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour of 1970, on which Leon Russell assembled members of Joe's Grease Band together with session players from Shelter Records for form one of the largest and greatest rock groups ever assembled.

[unclebobunclebob]

Jim Gordon, Bobby Keys, Rita Coolidge, Carl Radle to name a few were ALLmembers of Delaney's band RIGHT BEFORE Mad Dogs and Englishmen were formed. So how do I have it backwards. Call it a different band name like the Grease band if you want, but theft is theft. And yes, Clapton's Dominoes band was also composed of people HE stole from Delaney and Bonnie. Not much acknowledgement of that ever came from either Cocker or Clapton. That's just plain wrong. Sorry.

[aarfeld]

Mad Dogs & Englishmen was a once-off touring group, not a permanent arrangement. The Dominoes was to be an ongoing effort. And my understanding is that Gordon and Radle approached Clapton (Whitlock joined them later) about working together after the Cocker tour because they were fed up with Delaney & Bonnie's constant bickering--they only lasted a couple of more years together before splitting up. Musicians are free agents who can chosoe to work with whom they wish--they don't belong to stars.

[unclebobunclebob]

They adiosed the Bramletts one way or another and Delaney and Bonnie never had that kind of status or musical platform again. You talk to anybody up North in this day and age about Delaney and Bonnie (especially younger folk) and they say WHO? Too few albums, not enough hits, but before the personnel movement, their band was making the best and most original-sounding music around.

[aarfeld]

They put together a hot band after the late '60s' line-up, and a couple of the participants went on to become members of Little Feat. But that golden era ('68-'72) was passing---and the rest of the '70s wasn't a very friendly place for the soulful Rock N Roll of D&B. Unfortunately they were never fully appreciated in their own time and I wouldn't place much stock in the knowledge of young people about this era. They may know the top stars but aren't like to have heard of hidden gems like D&B.

[edcherrylawn]

money talks and bullshit walks

[unclebobunclebob]

wow...did you just make that saying up? That really added a lot to the discussion.

[edcherrylawn]

No one "steals" a band. A band consists of adults who make decisions based on artistic, economic and personal considerations. Try to imagine this: while you're taking orders at the McDonald's drive through a person offers you a job at a better restaurant for more money. You accept the job. Would you feel sorry for McDonald's? I assume Delaney got most of the money from the song writing and publishing, he was obviously the front man, the franchise. The principle of supply and demand.

[zbestwun2001]

So true.. but then again I am bias, as I work for the Bramlett's

[Baddoggone]

Thanks for sharing this treasure, RIP Delaney

[CharlieMoher]

DEAD ???? Shocking terrible news !!

[shakedownstreet48]

Ididn't know he wrote this song..

[pianorman]

I know Toni Basil was an assistant choreographer on Shindig, but does anyone know if that's her at the end of this video, to the left of Delaney (stage-right)?

[wamij2]

one of the greats! rip

[lexexec]

Flangum, thanks for posting this awesome clip. It's a shame that there aren't more people aware of all of the contributions made by DB to rock and popular music.

[reyna69jade]

R.I.P. Delaney, you will be missed.

[recordguy4321]

Check out Leon Russell on piano. They had quite a bond and band there for a long time. RIP Delaney.

[suckmuhfoota]

wow...is that really leon on the piano???

[recordguy4321]

Yup that's Leon back when he was Claude Russell Bridges. He was the house piano player on Shindig in the first season.

[BILLPERKS5]
