One of Eric’s best records. It’s evident he’s paying tribute to Duane Allman with his dobro part in this Scott Boyer song. Duane played on the original by Cowboy.
My opinion exactly. It's captures that laid back Robert Johnson Tom dowd vibe like no other. A mix of folk and blues delivered by a band that finds it's groove every cut. Timeless. Blows Cream out the back door.
How in hell is this album considered underrated? Top 40 and in many countries Top 10, all around the world. At least 2 incredibly popular singles released and appears on many greatest album lists from major music magazines. So it gets popular and critical acclaim but of course that must be what makes it 'underrated'.
@@tonyrobertson1085 it’s beyond belief really. It’s an album that’s comes from the heart of what Clapton was going through at the time. It’s my understanding that the album was complete in just 2 weeks. It’s one of my all time favourite albums! An absolute classic!!
In 1979 I moved across town and hooked up with a new friend and we immediately began introducing each other to our album collections. He has this album. I'd never heard of it. Fell in love with "Please be with me" and "Let it grow". Could listen to them forever.
Something similar happened to me in around '86. I'd always associated Clapton with Derek and the Dominos, but nothing slow and 'yin' as this. I asked her: "Who is this?" When she told me, I was in disbelief.
One of my favorite album 461 Ocean Boulevard. My favorite song until now PLEASE BE WITH ME. For you my long time crush..HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY..God bless you.. luvusomuchfrommhilet 💖💖💖💖💖🎸🌹🌹🌹
Saw Clapton when touring for this album in Pittsburgh, PA 1974. Yvonne Elliman opened the show (also provided backup vocals to Clapton), then Carlos Santana, followed by Clapton. Carlos and Elliman both joined him for a few songs. Part way through the set, it started raining. We were in the Pittsburgh Civic Center that had the retractable roof open. Once the rain started coming down, the band stopped for about 15 seconds, the roof started closing, then Clapton jumped into “Let It Rain” and the place erupted. Possibly the best concert I saw; but then, I’ve seen many.
Did YT just put this video out?? I’ve searched for this song for over a year & just took another shot at it and found this. Just as beautiful as on my original album that I still have, albeit no stereo. But have all my vinyl and hope for a stereo in the future! Thanks for this…just pure perfection!
I love this song, used to listen to this on the buses and metro in the early 80's ! Good memories listening to this song, while looking at the beautiful women! Lol
This was actually a cover by Clapton. The original was good by a band named Cowboy but Clapton's version... Just made it into a mellow masterpiece of country blues.
@Alexander Henry I'm a Georgia native and consider the Allman Brothers one of the best bands of all time. Duane was a great guitarist. No one comes close to his slide playing. But he didn't really write. And to say he was a better man than Clapton... I guess you mean as an artist. Clapton was defiinitely more talented than Duane all things considered. And Clapton's version of this song is the best and it's not even close.
+nancy darkes-stiles It was originally recorded by Duane Allan and Cowboy back in 1971. After Duane's passing, Eric recorded it in 74 as a tribute to Duane
Weren't you the dude who, in another video of this song, claimed that you had been the long-haired boyfriend of some woman back in the '70s? Did you lose her because of heroin or because you refused to stop and ask for directions when you went out for cigs and ended up in Iowa?
@@gregorywheless3064 That drug starts taking things away from a person right from the git go and the worst case scenario is the life of the user. I hate how it has the power over people causing them to move everything they value, into the back seat, so heroin can ride up front calling the shots for them. Sorry about your friend man.
@@evanmorrow1234 thanks so much for your comment . The best friend of my friend who od'd just texted me 2 days ago . He had been clean for almost 4 years and relapsed . That stuff has always been nasty , but now , it's even nastier . Take care my friend .
Oh my word, what does it mean? Is it love or is it me That makes me change so suddenly? Looking out, feeling free. Sit here lying in my bed, Wondering what it was I'd said That made me think I'd lost my head, When I knew I lost my heart instead. Won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy. Tell me what I hope to find deep within me. Because you can find my mind, please be with me. Of all the better things I've heard, Loving you has made the words And all the rest seem so absurd, 'Cause in the end it all comes out unsure. Won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy. Tell me what I hope to find deep within me. Because you can find my mind, please be with me. Source: LyricFind
now I have to read all the comments that say that this music is much better than the music we have right now, but believe it or not- in 100 years after well all die, people will say the same about swalala
I like clap'n but this cover is not good. Harmonys aint great. And who ever is playing slide shouldnt of. If you going to play a slide peice that duane played you better get ur chops up.

I love Please be with Me”…it’s so beautifully expressive!!! Mr Clapton l remember you back when… playing so pretty 💕🎶💕🎶73,74.75,76 Lengendery
This was the first album I ever had. Received from my sister for Christmas in 74 or 75. I still have. 😊
Beautiful song 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was popular when my Mom and I moved to Florida in 75. Heartbreaking time in my life.💔
I am so sorry
music always gets us over the hard times, so dont lose it in your life!
This is by far and away Eric's best 'solo' album. Everything works here; songs, singing, playing.
My opinion exactly. It's captures that laid back Robert Johnson Tom dowd vibe like no other. A mix of folk and blues delivered by a band that finds it's groove every cut. Timeless. Blows Cream out the back door.
I just found Eric clapton, 1974 first edition Album in my storage box,,my husband look just like him
Scott Boyer (of Cowboy) who wrote "Please Be with Me" died this past week. Great guy!
Tommy Talton, the other half of Cowboy with Scott Boyer, passed away to 12/28/23 after a long battle with cancer. Great musician as was Scott Boyer.
Clapton at his best ✌🏻❤️✝️
Love Yvonne Elliman's vocals on this album, especially this song.
Great song of eric clapton i love this since i heard it song by eric great at all times
461 ocean blvd. is my favorite clapton album (i still have the vinyl I bought in 1979 when I was 15) very under rated but so many great songs on it
Absolutely
Yes.
Very Touching.
My sister had the LP.
I don’t mind saying. It resembled my pain through addiction. A album that was about expressing ones vulnerability...

Yvonne is so good in the background
brings tears to MY eyes....this is SO beautiful....
But can Eric get her name right? Haha

Just beautiful work
数十年前、高校性の頃、従兄の家の二階で初めて聞いた。なんて優しい曲なんだろう、意味はわからないが、なんて優しい詩なんだろうと心の底から思った。ジプシーとは放浪者という意味なのだろうか、自由ということなのか、地獄の底から這いあがってきた男の優しさを今でも感じる。
Beautiful.. a Brit who did all-american music.....
A bunch of the guys in the UK seemed to appreciate American blues and roots music more than Americans did.
Never fell out of love with this album 💖
Great recording. Scott Boyer is a vastly underrated songwriter and Clapton certainly does this song justice. Thanks for posting!
Scott Boyer, Duane, Eric.......Thanks so much.
One of the greatest song i ever heard. Beatiful. It move my heart. ❤️
Me and my Wife went to see him at the Forum, right after the Albun 461 Ocean Boulevard came out. The whole thing was Great. Those were the Good days.
i remember listening to this song Graduation night 1974
a song that captured my heart decades of 3 ago
an absolute Masterpiece
Absolute brilliant masterpiece, thank you,,🎼🎼🎼🎸
Xoxoxo love you too
I miss you dad 💔💔💔
I love all Eric Clapton song's
One of my favorite album 461 Ocean Boulevard. My favorite song until now PLEASE BE WITH ME.
For you my long time crush..HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY..God bless you..

Great song! Hit me right in the feels …
Written by, Now this is important "Please Be with Me" by and Charles Scott Boyer....
the WRITING IS the MOST important thing......
Brilliant! 👌
You have me in tears again Becky. I love you so much. You are the greatest friend I've ever had. Thank you.
Sweet back up vocals. Eevon Eleman.
I was just going to say that! Her best work.
One of the best EC songs ever. Always overlooked because 461 had so many high points.
Absolutely my favorite Delaney and Bonnie song
It is a Cowboy song, Scott Boyer wrote this in one night. He just passed away,, a great loss to Southern music.
Sweetest Clapton song.
A track that through pain. 461 Ocean Blvd is a classic!!
Let it geow
beautiful!
Beautiful song
Our favorite song wid my boyfriend now my hubby. Till now were listening to it..
Splendidly sung by the gifted one.

Execution of that chord is a beautiful thing..
Good cover.
Great song, never heard it before.
+Scott Taylor I never heard this until about a year ago and I am a big Clapton fan! What a lovely little surprise!
+nancy darkes-stiles It was originally recorded by Duane Allan and Cowboy back in 1971. After Duane's passing, Eric recorded it in 74 as a tribute to Duane
thank you for the info....Love Duane!!
Not sure it's as good as Layla, but I do like the record.
First album I purchased...along with Red Octopus...both great selections
Carl Radle on the Bass
The Master
I'd love to read slow hands' palm..
One of the best song by clapton
metro is the subway system here in Montreal, in case you all don't know?
❤❤❤
Beautiful,,,,LOL,,,
Wait, I'm confused... How, might I ask, are there two thumbs down?
+Iris M (Delena) I, too, am baffled...
You should get to know it. It's one of his best ever albums and this is absolutely one of my favorites from EC.
Thx for posting it.
some people do not have an ear for music
I like the original version better. The one with C. Scott Bowyer and Duane Allman
They were on the other side of the world...in Australia rather than UK so they pressed it but it was upside down!!
The slide here is better than Duane's in Cowboy version.
👍👍👍

I dig Eclapton hands forever...
Reminds me of the sorrow of heroin. And the love and life it cost me.
Weren't you the dude who, in another video of this song, claimed that you had been the long-haired boyfriend of some woman back in the '70s? Did you lose her because of heroin or because you refused to stop and ask for directions when you went out for cigs and ended up in Iowa?
Humble thanks. Best wishes.

Oh my word, what does it mean?
Is it love or is it me
That makes me change so suddenly?
Looking out, feeling free.
Sit here lying in my bed,
Wondering what it was I'd said
That made me think I'd lost my head,
When I knew I lost my heart instead.

Duane’s is so good but this is the best
What does "I might kinda be saying goodbye" mean?
Bracing myself because I don't think I have another F**K NO! left in me this year.

THIS IS MARCY LEVY
It's Yvonne elliman from Jesus Christ superstar
Im sorry
I think it is good but the song with Cowboy and Duane Allman is way better if you ask me.
Cowboy was better (5 ill Get Ya 10). Duane's dobro has no equal.....
Both favorite
I agree the cowboy's version better
No
I like clap'n but this cover is not good. Harmonys aint great. And who ever is playing slide shouldnt of. If you going to play a slide peice that duane played you better get ur chops up.
