Yeah Steve, @tooblue beat me to it!

I started watching the videos Bobby's wife CoCo shot and put up on YouTube when the pandemic hit. She's behind the camera, feeding him questions. He tells lots of great stories that cover his time with Delaney & Bonnie, Derek & The Dominos, the recording of George Harrison's All Things Must Pass album, and his solo career.

Bobby even revealed the secret of how he got the magnificent sound of his Hammond B-3 organ and Leslie speaker. And I of course loved what he had to say about drummer Jim Gordon, whom he considered the best in the entire history of Rock 'n' Roll. I have a half dozen favorites, Jim of course being one of them.

 

Funny I had seen a lot of his resent you tube channel stories with his wife. I had been learning alot about his career..sad... I.RIP Bobby.

.......there is only one person left from Derek and the Dominos. Eric....  

Yes. He certainly contributed mightily to Layla. Not only in terms of his passionate singing and playing but also his songwriting craft. I’ve watched and enjoyed quite a few of the videos he posted on youtube.
