History
Delaney & Bonnie mixed Southern gospel, soul, country and rock into a loose, communal sound that shaped much of late-1960s and early-1970s roots rock. Delaney Bramlett and Bonnie Bramlett led the act as a married couple, and Bonnie had already sung as an Ikette with Ike & Tina Turner, one of the first white singers to do so. Their shows were billed as Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, and the friends mattered: the backing band passed through players such as Leon Russell, Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle, Jim Keltner, Jim Gordon, Bobby Keys and Rita Coolidge. Accept No Substitute (1969) showed the formula of horns, gospel harmonies and swampy grooves. In 1969 Eric Clapton left the arena rock of Blind Faith to tour with them, and On Tour with Eric Clapton (1970) caught that run; George Harrison also joined for dates. Several of their players went on to Derek and the Dominos and Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs & Englishmen. Motel Shot (1971) went acoustic, recreating the sound of friends singing together in a room.
