This version of Will the Circle Be Unbroken owes a lot to Leon Russell. Bonnie’s vocals are awe inspiring.

Absolutely! As I said, so many wonderful takes on this song. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did a good one.

The great documentary about Bobby Keyes "Every night's a Saturday night" touched base on the importance and influence of Delaney and Bonnie's 'friends ' or band. They influenced basically everybody. Mick Jagger wanted Bonnie to song on Let it Bleed but Delaney wouldn't have it. It fell into Mary Clayton's lap and the rest is history.

I remember buying D&B and friends featuring Eric Clapton from Columbia LP club just from Clapton's involvement.

Sorry,don't mean to ramble. Great piece on D& B brother. I enjoy your work
