Gospel Pianist

[kayakamina]

I was listening to a US Blues/Gospel Radio station and they played
The Ghetto by Delaney & Bonnie

I would love to know the name of the pianist accompanying them. His
wonderful Gospel chord progressions were marvellous.
Anyone out there who can put a name to him please?

[Lie-in King]

Leon Russell (?)

Thanks LIK

From the links you kindly provided it seems it is Leon Russell.
I can now do some more research.

Cheers

Happy to have been able to help, K - hope you're keeping well? :-)

[kayakamina]

I'm feeling my age a bit and am not as active on AB as I once was but
the Grandchildren keep me busy.
Thanks for asking.

I'm glad you're ok & it's nice to see you again :-)

They were accompanied by famed musicians of 70s. My guess is Alan Price

[kayakamina]

Thanks tamborine, you've giving me another lead.

I'd guess that it was Bobby Whitlock.He played on Eric Clapton's Layla and George Harrison's All Things Must Pass and was certainly with D & B in the late 60s.

Bobby Whitlock certainly played on the Album featuring 'The Ghetto' as did Leon Russell.
