Delaney Bramlett, 69, a singer, songwriter and producer who penned classic rock songs such as "Let It Rain" and worked with musicians George Harrison and Eric Clapton, died Saturday at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center in Los Angeles as a result of complications from gallbladder surgery, his wife Susan Lanier-Bramlett said.

Looks like he attended a few high-tone musician funerals in his day.

Never heard of him, and that's too bad. RIP.

RIP, Delaney.

I especially enjoyed the stuff he did with Duane Allman.

F_B, if you've ever heard of Delaney and Bonnie, he's that Delaney. They toured with Clapton. (And, apropos of nothing, Bonnie was the first white Ikette.)

Without him, no Mad Dogs and Englishmen and, probavly, no Derek and the Dominoes, either.
The man was the Lee McPhail of rock and roll.
Find the "On Tour with Eric Clapton" LP.
RIP.

Here's a nice little old-school thing with EC. Modest and absolutely convincing.

Ray Charles will greet Delaney in the afterlife to thank him for his wife slapping Elvis Costello.

What Bonnie said was pretty good.
