Great work with those Hindu names of God on 'My Sweet Lord'. Thank you, Bobby. I'll always hear that song different now that I know it's only you and George on vocals.
As I watch these videos (and I’m going to watch them all) it’s not just the amazing stories that are so captivating but Bobby’s ability to tell a story. He’s every bit as talented an orator as he is a musician. And that’s saying a lot because his music inspired generations of musicians. Coco’s interviewing style and techniques are a perfect match as well.
I've spent the past day and a half watching all these excellent interviews. I commented yesterday and you responded right away. I love you two......wish I knew you in person. Ask Bobby about the possibility of two PAUL MCCARTNEY'S.....the conspiracy theory.
Bobby's so funny!! I recall the first time I saw the Two Virgins album cover. You know that feeling you get when you see something and realize you can never unsee it?? I was like that only worse! As for everybody claiming they and their brother played on George's ATMP album, that also reminds me you can find 27 million people who claim they were at Woodstock too. I guess people figure with the passage of so many years, nobody will call them on it. Well, Bobby was there for the whole thing and he remembers it all - right, Peter Frampton??
Not a big lover, of Yoko, but if some would dig deeper, I think they'd actually find she has sang some pretty decent songs, especially "Death of Samantha" on Approximately Infinite Universe. Just sayin'.
Another great story....Bobby, i have your first two albums i bought w hen they came out ..always loved the styles..but anyway...all things must pass is STILL my favorite album...D and the DOMS...the Who Whos next..Cat Steven TEA...all different styles for sure...all in there...im kinda still sweet on your first album.cheers you two!
@@BW-CC Coco..not sure if you ever heard his more recent stuff,,he was gone from 1979-2006 when he cames back..really ..one album "Tell em im gone"has a more 'bluesy sound,,even does a remake of.......'you are my sunshine!"
Nice story Bobby, ah for the record it's HARE KRISHNA. The names George put in some of his songs are names for God and those describing his different transcendental attributes . It's like Bob Dylan said to the Beatles, now you've got the world's attention....say something ! So George was trying to say something meaningful, and fact is lots and lots of people have benifeted from his spiritual messages. Keep the wonderful stories coming.
Hi CoCo and Bobby! I don't know if you have come across Otis Gibbs in your travels? He is a cool singer/songwriter and he also does this amazing podcast. This edition is an interview with Chris McKinney. Chris is the curator of the Jim Irsay Guitar Collection. He tells the story of how one guitar helped define the sound of The Beatles and Badfinger. I imagine this discussion will bring back some pretty cool memories and you will remember the guitar they are talking about well. It also adds to your point about what a generous man George was. Enjoy! otisgibbs.com/episode-152-george-harrisons-gift-to-badfinger/
If you look around, there’s a two part interview with Delaney Bramlett in which he says that he is the actual writer of my sweet lord. I believe he states that George asked him to write a gospel inspired song and my sweet lord is what he came up with. It would be interesting to hear what Bobby says about Delaney”s claim.
Question for Bobby : Clapton not on the recording of My Sweet Lord, so all that great slide guitar work George did himself ? ( I know he had to have overdubbed the harmony slide guitar part). The most gorgeous slide tone ever. An believe Badfinger provide some acoustic guitars.
Bobby, I wish someone would update the Wikipedia entry regarding 'My Sweet Lord'... I just looked at it a moment ago, and you are not credited... You may not care...and if so, so be it... But from my (a fan) viewpoint, it NEEDS to be done...I'd do it, but, it needs be authentic, real... God Bless
This popped up after some critic vid popped up to dispute this stuff. He was a Brit, thinking he is protecting something but I totally believe you on this. If people don't bother to look at the big picture, the European Delaney and Bonnie and friends tour in Europe joined by Eric Clapton and GEORGE HARRISON then follow the trail, the Eric solo album, other material, subsequent Dominoes material, it totally flows. I'm not sure why Harrison family has chosen to keep a tight narrative, I have no idea. The influence of you and those players plus musicians like Leon Russell, Bobby Keyes, others, essentially the American musicians on the Brits at that time, should be described as a musical shift in the timeline of history. It should be studied, fleshed out and written about.
Sorry you didn’t get Yoko. You know, people that love this music see great merit and art. Trust me, I am a studied musician and have several thousand records.60 years old solid 6 hours a day multi genre appreciator. Listen to Fly side one. You didn’t talk to her? Your loss.
Hey Bobby, don't know if you would remember rehearsing at my house in Memphis in the 80's with Reba and the Portables for a benefit for the Special Olympics. Hope you are well.
According to Wickepedia, 13 musicians played on "My Sweet Lord", including 5 guitarists, among them, Peter Frampton; 2 drummers, including Ringo Starr; and 2 on keyboards-- Billy Preston and Gary Wright. But no mention of Bobby Whitlock. Hmmmm.
Two Virgins (the John and Yoko nude cover) was released in May 1968. Before even the first Delaney & Bonnie (and BW) first release. I don’t doubt that this is a little memory slip. If anyone has lived the life of BW it’s understandable that occasionally a little mistake would be made in the recollection.
Another fantastic and musically historical interview!! These should be a Netflix (or whomever) special!!
These need far more viewings!!!
Thank you sugah

I have your book coming. Can't wait!
Great questions, CoCo. Lots of info there that I’ve wondered about for years. Bobby, your stories are amazing. Thanks for sharing, you guys. 👍🏼
Thank you

First of all..Very interesting stuff...and second..The Yoko thing! I laughed unti i had tears streaming! I had to replay it 3 times! LMFAO!!!!
Thank you 6412mars
Me too! I didn't want to say anything but I had a belly laugh over it!!
Damn, Bobby is hilarious,… hairy Christians and Yoko’s singing! LOL!!!
So Beautiful to share, may Peace, Love and Happiness.
Bess us all in 2020
Thank you sir
Thank you Bobby and CoCo
I love the way these videos have changed my algorithm. I’m being recommended so many cool live things!
I've spent the past day and a half watching all these excellent interviews. I commented yesterday and you responded right away. I love you two......wish I knew you in person.
Ask Bobby about the possibility of two PAUL MCCARTNEY'S.....the conspiracy theory.
oh stop man
Never heard of this guy, George Harrison brought me here.
You mean to tell eveyone you dont know who Bobby Whitlock is? Damn brother...where you been for 50 years!
@6412mars
Yeah bad me for not knowing about Bobby in all these years.😢
@@panchovilla5359 You know Bobby...You have heard him many times without knowing it fella
@6412mars
Yes That’s right !
just great! thanks
I wore to copies of My sweet Lord on 45 when I was a kid! Still one of my favorites!
These stories are awesome possum! Some of this stuff had me laughing my head off. Thank you, I really needed it.
.. Bobby's legendary , and don't even know it.... only because he's so humble.
Awesome, Bobby!
Thank you

I think the Two Virgins thing is a slip up because it was released in 1968. Two years before ATMP was recorded
Yoko did inspire many who followed!
@Dave Wray no. the haters inspired the hate of her
She inspired John to create a lot of great music.
Not a big lover, of Yoko, but if some would dig deeper, I think they'd actually find she has sang some pretty decent songs, especially "Death of Samantha" on Approximately Infinite Universe. Just sayin'.
It's like the Steve Hoffman Forum all over again. Classic Bobby! I'm looking forward to seeing the movie when it comes out.
that was epic
Exactly what I was thinking, best Hoffman thread ever! Bobby knows EVERYONE! I'm fascinated by his stories.
He and COCO ARE the coolest! Luv u guys! Stay warm in Austin 🔥
another day is great!!!! lol
Another great story....Bobby, i have your first two albums i bought w hen they came out ..always loved the styles..but anyway...all things must pass is STILL my favorite album...D and the DOMS...the Who Whos next..Cat Steven TEA...all different styles for sure...all in there...im kinda still sweet on your first album.cheers you two!
Cheers Joe I love Cat Steven's, CoCo

@@joebloggs8636 I have, actually was sad when he walked, but understand why, so happy to see him out again and sounding great.
Nice story Bobby, ah for the record it's HARE KRISHNA.
The names George put in some of his songs are names for God and those describing his different transcendental attributes .

Luv his stories too! Two of my favorite channels!
How interesting. I, too, was a Hare Krsna.
We've been wondering what happened to you all
If you look around, there’s a two part interview with Delaney Bramlett in which he says that he is the actual writer of my sweet lord. I believe he states that George asked him to write a gospel inspired song and my sweet lord is what he came up with. It would be interesting to hear what Bobby says about Delaney”s claim.
No, Delaney came up with some doozies.
Not true
Question for Bobby : Clapton not on the recording of My Sweet Lord, so all that great slide guitar work George did himself ? ( I know he had to have overdubbed the harmony slide guitar part). The most gorgeous slide tone ever. An believe Badfinger provide some acoustic guitars.
Bobby, I wish someone would update the Wikipedia entry regarding 'My Sweet Lord'...
I just looked at it a moment ago, and you are not credited...
You may not care...and if so, so be it...
But from my (a fan) viewpoint, it NEEDS to be done...I'd do it, but, it needs be authentic, real...
God Bless
Obviously we cannot do that

You know, people that love this music see great merit and art.
Trust me, I am a studied musician and have several thousand records.60 years old solid 6 hours a day multi genre appreciator.
Listen to Fly side one. You didn’t talk to her?
Your loss.
bob...do u know bout billy shears? did george tell u somthing?
Hey Bobby, don't know if you would remember rehearsing at my house in Memphis in the 80's with Reba and the Portables for a benefit for the Special Olympics. Hope you are well.

Has he spoke about ginger baker turning up?
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
what an interesting man
Who is doing the interview?
CoCo
@@BW-CC and all so well!

Another Day sounds a lot more like McCartney than Raspberry Rug sounds like Whitlock. Just sayin'.
6:45 Saggy asses!!!🤣🤣🤣
Saggy ass’s! Oh Krishna (mercy)!🤣
The biggest question is who sang "Oh sir Frankie Crisp".
