Anyone who enjoys watching Dowd mix his magic should watch the entire Tom Dowd & the Language of Music. documentary. It includes Cream, Allman's "Midnight Rider", "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed" and "Whipping Post" and Skynyrd's "Workin' For MCA" and "Freebird".

Tom Dowd is a legend. America is significantly less because it is not a Constitutional Monarchy. -I.e., they do not have a monarch who can bestow a title (e.g., a knighthood). Imagine, "Sir Tom Dowd". "Sir Duane Allman". I assume that Mr. Clapton will soon have a knighthood. "Sir Eric". It makes as much sense as "Sir Duane". Tom Jones has been graced with a knighthood, and there are many who do not understand this Royal Favour. After over 60 years of music contribution, I think Eric Clapton has earned a Bachelor Knighthood. People do not live forever. There is nothing quite as unsatisfactory than a posthumous Knighthood. Mr. Clapton is well preserved, but touring musicians do not seem to last as long as less well travelled hereditary Lords. There is no time like the present! TO: HRH, Charles Rex III Your Majesty; I am writing to beg your Royal Hand to deliver the necessary Letters Patent to bestow the worthy Eric Clapton a Bachelor Knighthood. In addition, I believe the National Trust should recognise Mr. Clapton's original Black Stratocaster and Fender tweed "Champ Amp", -as used on the records recorded by his tremendous combo, "Derick and The Domino's". Mr. Clapton's body of work is overwhelming and more than worthy of Royal recognition. If Your Royal Highness has any doubt as to Mr. Clapton's worthiness, I suggest you speak with his many colleagues and fans accumulated over the last 60 years. I doubt you will find any subject who will not enthusiastically support a Bachelor Knighthood for Eric Clapton. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To Americans: A Constitutional Monarchy might have saved America from itself. Alas, it is far too late for this. The British Monarchy is MANY centuries old, and there is level of trust in His Majesty and His Majesty's government that would prevent the impending catastrophe that is about engulf, and, perhaps, destroy your immature Democracy. If there is an American future, I beg Americans to consider the Parliamentary form of government. No, not a Constitutional Monarchy, but a basic Democratic Parliamentary government. Have a look at ANY free democratic parliamentary country. Not even a Prime Minister has the power or ability to to destroy The Government. The parliamentary form of government is FAR more representative and has more built-in safeguards to prevent the looming maelstrom that is about to engulf America. The Parliamentary System prevents any individual whom is morally and intellectually unsuitable and/or unqualified to be Prime Minister from being elected. In addition, The Prime Minister is not bestowed with the tremendous powers that your President has. E.g., The British system has layers of safeguards that would not allow an unsuitable person (e.g., a criminal and/or traitor) to become The Prime Minister. Such a government has no need for a monarchy. Parliamentary governments predominate on Earth. NO stable parliamentary democratic government has ever self destructed due to the perfidy and self interest of a SINGLE person! That over 250 years of a great American Republic is about to be incinerated by a single individual seems impossible. It does not seem real. Please do not allow a single, unhinged, angry, headstrong, selfish person to fire your nuclear arsenal and destroy the rest of the world. America seems OUT OF CONTROL. To allow ONE person such destructive power is beyond surreal. I think Americans have no idea how their election looks to the rest of the Free World. The Contrast of America during WW II and America over the last 24 years is frightening. Despite what many of you think, It does not matter if this person is clearly NOT elected. ANY outcome of your election will result in a release of orchestrated mayhem and violence that can easily lead to the destruction of the American Republic and possibly the entire earth. America possess a sufficient nuclear arsenal to destroy the Earth HUNDREDS of times over. NO SANE PERSON in the Free World is looking forward to this election, regardless of the outcome. The greatest nuclear arsenal on Earth in the hands of a megalomaniac criminal who cares more about himself than anything else is a scenario beyond anyone's worst nightmare. No outsider wants to see the U.S.A. overwhelmed in unprecedented confusion, threats, destruction and orchestrated violence that can easily render the broken and dysfunctional. Regardless of your personal vote, the fuse has been lit and the bomb awaits; -not only for the U.S.A., but the entire Earth. It is too late. Regardless of the election's outcome, knowing that the Transfer of Power will NOT peaceful, rapid or smooth is an unimaginable nightmare for ALL who inhabit this small planet. Even an obvious landslide will not stop the mayhem and violence that will soon engulf The U.S.A., and likely the rest of the world. If America manages to survive, I recommend a standard PARLIAMENTARY Democracy that has proved successful for most of the rest of the Earth. I pray America will survive intact, however, I fear for worst. God save us all.

I doubt she wrote as much of the MUSIC for the coda as everyone thinks she did - if at all. Everyone forgets that this “revelation” came out in her book with details that don’t jive with what other people say (read the excerpt from her book below). It’s kinda fascinating how this story has been grossly exaggerated - to the point where some people think she wrote the ENTIRE 'Layla' song (her story changes in every interview). And now the story has taken on a life of its own to the point where its clear that most of what people think is just not true - but Coolidge keeps riding the wave…. Beyond drumming, Jim Gordon was an accomplished musician since he was a teen - he could read and write music. Read what you want on KZbin or those little Facebook posts. Even Bobby Whitlock (keyboardist) and his wife have claimed that she did not write the coda on Whitlock’s popular KZbin Channel. So I’ll stick with what she wrote herself in her book, which is quite telling (read excerpt from her book below). She did not even come up with the initial idea for the song ‘Time’ - Jim Gordon did. She said so herself in HER book (read below). Nor did she have the speck of musical talent that Jim Gordon did (he wasn't some hippie, half-assed drummer and, he produced several albums). Finally, it’s pretty easy for Coolidge to make this accusation when really, the only one who can truly refute it is dead. Can’t be Clapton - he wasn’t there when they “wrote it together”. Below is what Coolidge wrote in HER book about this matter. There are important facts that will sneak by if you’re not reading carefully. And for what it’s worth, Coolidge even claims to have been a “co-writer” on The Carpenters’ biggest smash ‘Superstar’ - which, according to everyone that was there (who is still alive) says is a made up story. ********************* Excerpted from Delta Lady: A Memoir by Rita Coolidge with Michael Walker.

@chuckpotockimusic2288 9 ай бұрын

@@v.s.7669That still says that Coolidge wrote the bulk of the song. Gordon had the first few intro chords, but Coolidge wrote the "resolution" chords, and the melody and the lyrics...not for Layla, but for Time. An incidentally, the song Time complete with the intact piano figure from Layla as well as the melody was recorded and released 3 years after Layla by Coolidge's sister Priscilla and her then husband Booker T Jones; curiously, neither Clapton, Gordon or Clapton's then manager Robert Stigwood filed a copyright claim or pursued any legal action whatsoever against the Coolidge's and Booker T Jones...so why do you suppose that is? Because every single person that was there and involved in the recording of that song knew full well that it was Coolidge's song...most especially Clapton, because Coolidge offered the song to him for possible inclusion on his first solo album, and he declined it. Clapton immediately recognized it when he heard Gordon playing it in the studio, but Gordon assured him that it could be used. So Gordon lied. For all intents and purposes, yes, it is a co-written song, HOWEVER...that did NOT give Jim Gordon full permission to use that finished piano part as well as the melody that accompanies it without HER permission. The only reason that Gordon used that piano part and then turned around and gave himself sole writing credit for it was to get back at Coolidge for breaking off their relationship. In one of the earliest signs of Gordon's then misdiagnosed mental illness emerging, he had a psychotic episode exacerbated by alcohol and drugs and he punched her in the face and head and knocked her out in the corridor of their hotel room while they were both on tour with Joe Cocker. She spent the rest of the tour sporting a black eye and a bruise on her forehead from hitting the floor. When the tour was over, she left him and never saw and spoke to him again. So Gordon stole the song from her completely out of spite. He may have been an exceptional and in-demand musician with a storied career, but personally and despite his mental illness, he was a shitty person; he had enough presence of mind to know what he was doing.

Not discounting the greatness of the 'Layla' album as a whole, nor Tom Dowd's legacy (which is cemented many times over). As many have shared here, the incredible rhythm section of Carl Radle and Jim Gordon along with Bobby Whitlock have to be credited. Guitar players talk about how Duane and EC played through Fender Champs. Yeah, kinda cool, but the tones are so shrill and thin. Duane is frequently out of tune (don't shoot me, I love Duane in ABB, his session work, and Derek Trucks probably wouldn't exist if not for him). It's evident how sauced/high everyone was (Jim Gordon and Radle always seem to be solid and groove-perfect). Tom Dowd- what to say. Certainly left his print on so much great music and apparently worked beyond the desk, assisting in arrangements, changing the anatomy of the mixing desk, etc. However, 'Layla' sounds HORRIBLE. A lot of those Atlantic dates don't sound that amazing, either. Thankfully, the music DOES shine in all cases, despite less-than-stellar sonics. Yeah, I wouldn't want Fagen/Becker/Nichols/Katz producing a Ray Charles album, for instance- they'd suck the life and soul straight out (I love Steely Dan, but that's its own thing). It's a curious thing that so few soul albums sound good. Again, Tom Dowd- hands on deck for SO MUCH great music- what happened here? I watched the 'Language of Music' documentary when it came out. Pretty good watch, though Tom does have a high opinion of himself. He may take credit for some innovations that are debatably not attributable to him. Someone mentioned that Dowd recorded Coltrane's 'Giant Steps.' Well, he did a lot more Atlantic jazz. Coltrane's Prestige and Impulse! dates - all day long. I realize it's subjective, but to my tastes- barring some MJQ, I hardly touch that side of Atlantic's catalog.
