Tag: Never Ending Song Of Love

I heard this song as a kid constantly but never knew who was singing it. It was written by Delaney Bramlett, and, according to some sources, by his wife Bonnie Bramlett. It was originally recorded with his band, Delaney & Bonnie & Friends, in 1971 on the album Motel Shot. 

So many great musicians played on Motel Shot. Duane Allman, Joe Cocker, Jim Keltner, Bobby Keys, Dave Mason, Gram Parsons, Leon Russell, Clarence White, and Bobby Whitelock just to name a few. Delaney and Bonnie were important in the lives of Eric Clapton and George Harrison. 

Coming out of Cream…Eric liked the looseness of the band as they traveled around with members going in and out. He jumped in and toured and brought George Harrison with him. Both men developed a deep, abiding, and…as it would turn out, decades-long fascination with acoustic-based music. And a musical linchpin for both of them was the husband and wife duo, Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett. Though they enjoyed success on their own, the Bramletts are most often remembered for their associations with other musicians.

As the title suggests…they did record some of the album in a motel room and in Bruce Botnick’s (audio engineer and record producer) living room. They treated the recording like a party. Whichever musicians were there…that was who was on the song. They recorded this in the summer of 1970 and after switching record companies…it was released in 1971. There is still confusion on who played on what track. 

The song peaked at #1 in New Zealand,  #13 on the Billboard 100, and #6 in Canada in 1971.
