Discover the storied career of Bobby Whitlock, a cornerstone of 1970s rock. As a co-founder of Derek and the Dominos alongside Eric Clapton, Whitlock helped craft a landmark album with seven co-written tracks on Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. His influence extends beyond that classic record, with a discography spanning solo albums from 1972 through collaborative projects into the 2010s, and notable work with artists like George Harrison, Dr. John, the Rolling Stones, Buddy Guy, and CoCo Carmel. A Beale Street brass note inducted in 2024, Whitlock’s enduring impact on American music remains evident. While his passing on August 10, 2025 prompted cancellations for some 2025 tour plans, his legacy continues to inspire new generations of fans and musicians.
