After Midnight: The Life and Death of JJ Cale

[@BeelinkGT-King]

Thank you for showing the final resting place of jj. I am fifty now, and have been listening & playing his songs most of my days. He was and always will be a great influence on my life. Greetings from Greece.❤

J.J. was truly an example of someone living life as he chooses. He was smart enough to control his future and being the director, despite those trying to completely take over. His music describes the passion and the love for all things natural and romantic, even the sometimes difficulty of negotiating with a female partner. He was able to finally find love with his wife Christine, and I loved watching her eyes of love toward J.J. when they played live together. The term unsung hero truly applies to J.J. Thank you for sharing history about J.J., that I and others were unaware of. Great video, thank you!

There was always something about him that reminded me of Merle Haggard. Two enormously talented, hugely influential and thoroughly original guitarist/songwriters. Troubadour had a huge impact on me when I first heard it in England in 1979 (a little late to the party I know but I got there). There was so much other great new music around then but when JJ Cale’s turn came anround everybody stopped in their tracks asking themselves “what’s that”? That’s the Tulsa sound!

One of the best guitarists ever. In my eye/ear, it goes Mr. JJ Cale, Jimmy Hendrix No 1 No 2

[@curtisphilumalee1447]

Thanks much for putting this together. I grew up in OKC and wasn’t aware that he was born there. I did know he lived in Tulsa and thought that’s where he passed on.

Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy his music as much as I do. Gone too soon.

Seems like a lot of people ripped off JJ Kale. He could’ve should’ve had a better lawyer. Breaks my heart.

JJ Cale was the king of cool. I was told that when he, JJ first heard on his car radio, Eric Clapton doing After Midnight that he went right out and got himself a new chev. Anyway, that what I was told.

JSYK Christine Lakeland was playing with JJ the first time I saw him at PB Scotts in Blowing Rock, NC January of 1977.

[@discoverthis]

Interesting, I got the info I put in the video from his own biography. Thanks for updating me.

[@richeaton5752]

@@discoverthis A little red faced. I have apologies to make. I must be remembering wrong. Must have been Charlotte when I saw Christine with him. Tripped over this last night. Memories of PB Scotts kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKq4d6qbrJurqc0 Sorry for the confusion.

[@discoverthis]

@@richeaton5752 No worries, thanks for clarifying.

[@paulsparks4564]

They actually first met on 11 September 1977 at a BB King-Waylon Jennings concert

[@jamesnash7262]

…such an unassuming grave…contrast with Leon Russell…

[@daviddesmond2143]

Had a guitar player in our band who loved JJ and wanted to play his songs like he played them, not as how other bands covered them. I's say JJ's songs covered by others are far superior as to how he recorded them for himself. Seems like a strange dude but penned some good songs.

[@Jackjaeckle]

Sorry, don't agree. Maybe higher quality of sound engineering, and for the mass, but he is the original, and founded the spirit of the songs. Besides that his way of playing guitar is so distinctive. Nobody ever can copy him.
