Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome back to another Patreon edition of
the Surely You Can't Be Serious Podcast. Today, we are
going to be discussing a subject that I don't know
yet because d is going to surprise me.
Speaker 2: But I do know this.
Speaker 1: You have been waiting to tell me this incredible story.
I don't know what it is yet, but it's like
murder and Mayhem and all the things. And you've promised
me that it's a song that I know very well,
or it involves something that I'm super familiar with.
Speaker 2: There is absolutely no question that you know this song. Okay,
we've actually just talked about this song before and another
one of our episodes, but since we have well over
two hundred episodes at this point, that's not much of
a clue for you. But we've also talked about other
people who are involved with this song on entirely different episodes,
which I'm not going to give away yet, but just
to let everybody know what's going on, we are doing

Speaker 2: Yeah, and thank you guys so much for supporting us.
Those Patreon members that we have, they're going to get
the sneak preview of this episode before everybody else. But
I'm just yes, I'm genuinely excited to talk about this, so.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna interrupt you. One of the fun
things that we do in our Patreon episodes sometimes is
that one person comes up with all the research and
the history and things like that, and then you talk
and you slowly unveil the story. And if I figure
it out right off the bat, I'm not gonna say anything,
but guys at home try to figure out what we're
talking about.
Speaker 2: It's a puzzle exactly, Okay. And the last one of
these episodes we had, you gave me a song from
the nineties and By the time we got to the song,
I was like, I kind of remember that song. Most
of the songs that we have have been songs that
everybody knows right right, And I made the promise to
you at that time. The next time that we come
in and I'm doing a song for you, you will without
question know what the song is. It is a one
hit wonder, but it may surprise you to have it
called a one hit wonder. Okay, okay, probably nobody thinks
of it as that, but technically it is all right.
So I'm gonna as you mentioned, this story has theft,
drug addiction, homicide, adultery, fatal car crash, and a Persian
poem that's over nine hundred years old involved with it.
So there's all kinds of things at play. So if
there are people out there who are super familiar with
this song, they're gonna go, oh, I know what that
is already. I doubt a whole lot of people. I
really know the song, and I was surprised to know
what some of the basis for the song is.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, okay, let's hear this all right, I'm ready.
Speaker 2: So the group that put together this album was a
supergroup Okay. It came together in the spring of nineteen
seventy and a year later they'd be done. They released
one album, and even the album did badly, and even
this song when it was released as a single, it
did badly. Several of our other Patreon episodes where we're like, hey,
this song came out and you know, eighty three, but
it didn't become a hit until nineteen eighty nine, weirdly,
you know. So this is kind of one of those things.
So the members of this group, I'm going to give
you some names. I'm doing the Paul Harvey kind of
you know, the hide the Rabbit thing right now. So
first guy is Dell you know. Okay, yeah, you're thinking
of John Candy right now. I know you are.
Speaker 1: Shower curtain ring guy.
Speaker 2: Yes, So Dell was a nickname that his buddy Tony
Ashton gave him, And so I'm gonna use Dell as
the nickname so that you don't know what I'm talking about.
All right, Okay, thee oh the guy isn't guy named
Jamie again, nickname from his wife. She called him Jamie,
not his not what most people call him. Okay, Okay,
So we got Dell and Jamie and they are the
two writers given credit for this song. All right, all right.
And then in the rest of the group, you've got
a guy named Robert Okay, he plays keyboards. And you
got a guy from Tulsa, Oklahoma, your hometown. Yes it is, yep.
He happened to be born on the same day as
Paul McCartney. Okay, yeah, no, we know Paul McCartney wasn't
born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, so it's not Paul McCartney. It's
a different guy, but famous musician.
Speaker 1: Right wait wait, wait, wait, wait wait, this is a
famous musician from Tulsa in this band, in this band, Okay,
all right, keep going, Okay.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna give you a little bit about the album,
and I'm gonna go go back and we're gonna do
some history it all right, okay, Okay. So the album
failure critically, failure commercially, like, nobody went out and bought it,
and none of the critics liked it. Okay. This song
that I'm talking about's thirteenth song on the album, thirteenth track,
and they released it as a single, just didn't do
very much, didn't chart at all in the UK. Barely
made it in the charts in the US, but then
came again in nineteen seventy two and got a little
more popular, came again in nineteen seventy four, nineteen seventy seven,
and then like a cover of it nearly two decades later,
ends up at number twelve in the US Billboard Hot
one hundred. Okay, okay, all right, yeah, good. So since
the time that this song was recorded and everybody hated
it when it came out, VH one and Rolling Stone
have both put it on their Greatest Albums of All
Time list. What Okay? Most of the songs on the
album that were not songs because they did a few
cover songs. Most of the songs on the album that
were not cover songs were written by Dell and Robert
the keyboard player. Okay, but this song that I'm talking
about was by Dell and Jamie all Right, Okay. So
Dell had come from a couple of supergroups with a
lot of success. Okay, he actually, by many people, has
been equated with divinity as far as his musical skills
are concerned. And Jamie was even better as a musician.
These are the two writers of this song.
Speaker 1: So you got a guy who plays like God, and
then a guy who's better than God.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that is about right. Okay, so they get together.
They they have come from this this other group that
you probably don't know, but I'm not going to mention
them anyway. And they're really both of them just sidemen
in the group. They're on an ensemble. They're not mentioned
in the name of the group. They're not singing the songs.
They're just a couple of side musicians. Okay, all right.
The name of this band actually comes from a mistake
at their first club that they played on this tour.
The announcer says a different name than what they have
chosen as their name, but they like the different name better,
and so they go with that. The guy who wrote
the Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock and Roll, Dave Marsh,
said this about this song, okay, quoting there are few
moments in the repertoire of recorded rock where a singer
has reached so deeply into himself that the effect of
hearing them is akin to witnessing a murder or a suicide.
This song is the greatest of them. Okay, okay, So
now we'll go to a little history right. Yeah. So.
Jamie born July nineteen forty five passed away a couple
of years ago. The guys from Toto, David Page, Jeff Porko,
the guys who were the best studio musicians of the
early eighties, the guys who played the music on Thriller.
They described Jamie as someone you look to with reverence,
like if you wanted to know how to play your instrument,
this is the guy you go to. You listen to
what he's done, and you emulate him. I mean, they
were in awe of him, that's how good he was.
He was a protege of one of Phil Spector's group
of session musicians who would become known as the Wrecking Crew,
and he became a member of the Wrecking Crew himself.
He played on pet sounds, he played on good Vibrations,
he played on classical gas. He played on You're So
Vain by Carly Simon, a song about Warren Bady, Yes
there you go right, and countless others. I mean, his
music catalog is gigantic, and he not only knew how
to play like any kind of music, he knew how
to take a song and make it a hit song,
right like with Carly Simon, jersol Vain, they had already
recorded and they're like, this isn't good. Let's bring this guy,
Let's bring Jamie in. They brought him in. Carly Simon
came in thinking the song was done. She sees him
in there and she loses her mind, but then she
gets this huge hit with this song and she has
to eat her words. Right, Okay, okay. He also played
with Alice Cooper, Joe Cocker, Harry Nilsson, Frank Zappa, and
Steely Dan, both of whom we know were ultra particular
about how good the people were that were playing with him.
Speaker 1: Right, watch the yacht Rock documentary if you don't know
what we're.
Speaker 2: Talking about exactly. Or Frank Zappa, listen to our Toto
episode to see how he.
Speaker 1: Ran humiliated Steve lugather In from everybody hear the ringer.
Speaker 2: That's right. So that was Jamie. Okay. Dell born three
and a half months before Jamie was born across the world.
Jamie was born in La Dell is born just outside
of London, where for the first decade of his life
he thinks that he's got an older sister. At eleven
years old, he learned that the girl he thought was
his older sister is actually his mother, and the people
that he thought were mom and dad are actually Grandma
and Grandpa.
Speaker 1: Tale as old as time.
Speaker 2: Yes, right, we've had that a few times. Right. So
his mother had had a liaison with a Canadian Air
Force soldier at fifteenish. Yeah, and so the pregnancy resulted
and Dell was born out of wedlock. Interestingly, she actually
marries a few years later, marries a different Canadian soldier
and moves off to Germany and leaves Dell with her
parents to be raised by them. The good news is
they're not too badly off, and they spoil him a
little bit, and eventually they buy him some musical instruments
that he learns how to play. He started playing at
the age of thirteen, lost interest, but then as he
got into high school he realized he was terrible at sports,
picked up the music again, and that became what he
was good at. He ends up getting accepted into the
Kingston College of Art, but he gets expelled after the
first year because he's so focused on music and not
on art. His musical influences are Buddy Holly and Big
Bill Brunsey, The Black blues musician from Mississippi. Okay, Okay,
so he's out of college. He starts busking as a
young you know, as a teenager. He starts busting and
he gets noticed, and he goes from first band to
second ban, to third band, and by nineteen sixty six,
at twenty one years old, he forms a group himself.
After be involved with a pretty successful group, forms a
trio himself that becomes world famous.
Speaker 1: Okay, keep going.
Speaker 2: So that was sixty six, Okay, By nineteen sixty eight,
this world famous band, this bands, they're done. They're done
with each other. Two years, two years and they're done
nineteen sixty nine. The next year, he forms another supergroup,
but they would release only one album with a very
controversial album cover an LP with only six songs, one
of which would be a hit, one of which you know.
But they dissolved after only seven months, and he's realized
he is tired of the limelight, and that's why he
decides to go with this other singer songwriter duo where
they're the named members of the group and he's a
member of the ensemble. He's a sideman with these other
guys called the Friends. Okay. During this time, he was
working on albums with members former members of the Rolling Stones,
former members of the Beatles. He did his own solo
album that didn't do much. But finally he and several
of these other members of this band would form this
new band that gives us a song that we're talking
about today.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so far I have no idea where we're going.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so just think of it as a movie, right,
this little so, this new band of people that are
all incredible musicians. They start doing tiny, little club shows
in Britain.
Speaker 1: And these are guys who have had major hits, your
major hits.
Speaker 2: No major success names you would recognize, okay for sure.
So they do this tour of small clubs in Britain
and get there, get their groove down, and they're like, okay,
we're gonna go to Miami and we're gonna record our
first album together. Okay. So they go down to Miami
to record, and the guy they have producing their album
is a guy named Tom Dowd. Tom Dowd also happens
to be producing another group's album called the Almond Brothers.
Yes you've heard of that.
Speaker 1: I do know them, of course.
Speaker 2: And so after Dell had been there for a few days.
Tom the producer says, hey, you should go see the
Almond Brothers play. They're going to play at this outside
benefit cons and Dell's like, heck, yeah, I love Dwayne Alman.
I would love to listen to him play. Well. As
it turns out, Dwayne Almond is also a big fan
of Dell's and so because he is famous, he gets
to like go in front of the barricade, in front
of the front row, you know, and he and his
friends are watching the Almond Brothers play. And at the
point that Dwayne Almond turns around and sees Dell standing
in the crowd, he freezes in the middle of his
guitar solo, and fortunately the other lead guitarist is able
to pick it up, and then he sees why he's frozen,
and he just turns away so that he doesn't have
to get frozen as well. Because they're so in awe
of this guy who's watching them, right, they.
Speaker 1: Okay, wow, okay.
Speaker 2: After the show they get to meet face to face.
They're kind of gushing over each other, talking about how
much they enjoy each other's music, and Dwayne says to Dell, hey,
I would, you know, I'd really love to come and
listen to you guys record, and Dell is like, heck
with that, get your guitar, come on, let's go tonight,
let's record together. They spend the entire night just riffing
with each other, and Tom describes it as like the
most beautiful bromance you've ever seen. Like they don't say
can you play this again? It was just they would
riff off of each other and gush and talk about
the technics of the guitar and all of this other stuff,
and they just they formed a brotherly bond. As it
turns out, for this album. Even though this is a
four piece band, Dwayne records almost every single song with him,
so it's a five member band for the recording of
the album. Okay Okay, So he records several of the songs.
His band is still out playing, so he leaves for
a few days and goes to play with them on
their tour, and then he comes back and on September ninth,
nineteen seventy, they record a cover of Little Wing and
they record this song that I'm talking to you about today.
Speaker 1: This one hit okay.
Speaker 2: All right, So this is September ninth, nineteen seventy. Tragically,
A week later, Dell buys a left handed Fender Stratocaster
for Jimmy Hendrix as a thank you for letting him
play a little Wing on this album. The day and
next day Jimmy Hendrix dies and they have to take
the song off of the album. Ooh, okay, So this
band has done a little little Wing cover that you
haven't heard. Okay, okay. So after they've recorded the album,
Dell says, Dwayne, come tour with us. You're a key
member of this band. I mean this song that I'm
talking about as an unmistakable guitar riff, and Dwayne Alman
is the one who is responsible for the guitar riff. Okay, okay,
it also has an unmistakable piano riff, but I'll get
into that in just a minute. Okay, okay. So Dwayne says,
I would love to, Dell, but I've got my brothers
and where we've developed these shows already. I can't go
with you. I have to go with them, right Okay.
The album gets released in November of nineteen seventy. Less
than a year later, Dwayne is riding on his Harley
on Hillcrest Avenue in Macon, Georgia. As he is approaching
Bartlett Street, a flatbed boom truck comes to a sudden
stop in the intersection. Dwayne does a quick swerve to
try to miss it, but ends up hitting it. He's thrown.
The motorcycle is thrown and lands on top of him
and crushes him. He's alive when he gets to the hospital,
but ultimately passes away due to his internal injuries. And
so we've lost one of the best guitarists of the seventies. Okay,
that's Dwayne Almond. Dwayne Almond.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think maybe Greg Alman was married to Shriff
keep going.
Speaker 2: So Dell has now lost his idol, Jimmy Hendrix. He's
lost the guy that he has described as the musical
brother I'd never had but wish I did. He's lost
that guy as well. Right, So with that loss, the
kind of failure of the album and the song, the
band is just not going to stay together. They try
to get together for a second album and it just
falls apart almost immediately. Dell is also dealing with drug
and alcohol issues that he's got, trying to deal with
the pain of this and another issue that I'll bring
up there in a second. But this tragedy is not
the last one we're going to talk about today. Okay,
So the band breaks up, all the musicians go their
separate ways. But as I mentioned Carl the Oklahoma Boy,
he'd move back to Oklahoma and he'd continue to play music,
but ultimately, in May of nineteen eighty, he would die
in Claremore, Oklahoma, from the effects of drug and alcohol. Okay,
Jamie also continued to play for big name bands because
he was an unparalleled virtue. So he played drums as
a way to escape from life. Okay, that's why he
was so good. But few people realized that what he
was escaping from were actually voices in his head that
were talking to him that weren't really there, the loudest
of which apparently was the voice of his mother. I
know you're thinking about, psycho, right, Psycho other He tried
over and over again to deal with this by going
to mental health specialist, none of whom correctly diagnosed him.
They all attributed it to alcohol, which, of course, he
was taking drugs and alcohol to deal with the voices,
in addition to playing the drums.
Speaker 1: Probably didn't help.
Speaker 2: And so on June third, nineteen eighty three, his wife, Rene,
the one who called him Jamie, came home to find
him holding some string and piece of paper and saying,
I know what you've done. I know what you did.
I know that you're communing with the devil. And she's like,
what the heck and he starts attacking her, and she's thinking,
this is how I'm going to die. He's attacking her,
attacking her, and then for some unknown reason, he stops
and he goes to the kitchen to make himself a drink,
and so at that moment, she gets the heck out
of the house, comes back into the room.
Speaker 1: This is Jamie.
Speaker 2: We're talking about this Jamie. Jamie comes back into the room,
realizing that she's gone, and he goes over to his
mother's house. Is seventy one year old mother. He then
attacks with a hammer and then ultimately stabs to death
with a butcher knife.
Speaker 1: What okay.
Speaker 2: They find him a day or two later in his
apartment laying face down on the ground, crying hysterically. He
is ultimately arrested for the murder. After he is arrested,
he is finally accurately diagnosed with acute schizophrenia, and the
court accepts the diagnosis of acute schizophrenia. But because of
changes in the federal insanity defense law, California had changed
their laws and he was not allowed to use the
insanity defense at his trial, and ultimately he gets sentenced
to sixteen years in prison. It's nineteen eighty three, so
he's first eligible for parole in nineteen ninety one, but
he gets denied because he doesn't show up for the
parole hearing, and then he gets denied again the next
time because he doesn't show up for the parole hearing.
And he continues not to show up over and over
again year after Where is he? He's ultimately moved to
a mental criminal ward, but he is by all effects incarcerated.
He is a prisoner, just at a mental facility, a
convict mental facility in California. Okay, all right. Ultimately, as
I said, he passed away March of twenty twenty three,
never having been rehabilitated from a schizophrenia, just stopped playing
music other than two occasionally when somebody would be playing,
might sit in and do a little bit here and there,
but wouldn't communicate with family, wouldn't communicate with anybody else.
Just kind of this amazing. I mean, arguably the greatest
drummer of the seventies disappears from the face of the
earth for all of this. Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, keep going.
Speaker 2: So back to the song, okay. In addition to playing
the drums on this song, Jamie also contributed the piano part, which,
as I said, is absolutely iconic and this is what
gives him his writing credit. But here's the problem. He
stole the piano riff from his girlfriend, who we've talked
about before, named Rita Coolidge.
Speaker 1: readA Coolidge All Time high.
Speaker 2: Go check out our octopusy Versus and Never Say Never
Again episode.
Speaker 1: And our best James Bond themes songs.
Speaker 2: You got it Riata Coolidge.
Speaker 1: She also sang she had a hit song called I
think it's called Higher and Higher.
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, she had. She had several several big hits,
and this could have been one of them, except she
had she had played it with They're the keyboardist and
with her then boyfriend Jamie. They played it together and
they're like, hey, we know you guys are about to
record this album. They played it for Dell and she
never heard anything. She thought, Okay, well, I guess they're
not going to use it. Until a year later, she's
getting a photo shoot done for her album and they've
got the radio playing over the pa and she hears
this song come on and she's like, hey, wait a minute, yeah,
I wrote this, what is it? And they're like, no,
this is You couldn't have written this. This is a
brand new album, right, And so she's living. She goes
to Tower Records. She pulls the album to see if she's
gotten a writing credit. She hasn't, right, she calls Robert Stigwood.
We've talked about before, who is the manager for the band?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: And she's like, hey, wait a.
Speaker 1: Minute, wait minute, Robert Stigwood beg's grease you got it?
Keep going Saturday Night Fever.
Speaker 2: Yeah okay, And so she's like, hey, this is my song.
You guys took this and you didn't give me writing credit.
And his words to her are so what you're a girl?
What are you gonna do? And her record label A
and M is like, yeah, we can't fight Robert Stigwood.
His pockets are gigantic.
Speaker 1: He has big pockets.
Speaker 2: And so she ends up with no writing credit on
the song.
Speaker 1: Now, they don't have like laws and things that she
could have.
Speaker 2: You got to have the money to hire an attorney,
and an attorney that will last against whoever. Robert Stigwood hire.
Speaker 1: An Octopussy wasn't it wasn't out there yet.
Speaker 2: Okay, So she gets no writing credit. Okay, she actually
her Her sister, Priscilla Coolidge, releases a song nineteen seventy
three called Time. If you listen to Time, you'll hear
that same piano riff in it. And of course they
can't go say, hey, you stole the piano riff because
she wrote it, and it would just open that door
for her, right right, So when Jamie and Rita were dating,
at some point his demons came out and he punched
her in the face during a tour and like she
did the rest of the tour with a black eye
and never had anything to do with him again after that. Okay.
And then he goes and steals her song and puts
it in this song.
Speaker 1: Right all right, man, you got me on the hook here.
I'm ready to hear this.
Speaker 2: Okay. So I've led you. I've led you with all
these clues, right, and some people who know who know
the story of Jamie who most people called Jim. Will
know the song probably that I'm talking about. But I
haven't gotten you there yet, right I am no close. Yeah,
I'm about to get you there, right. I know that
you're going to know it when I starts giving you
these clues. Now, Dell, in addition to dealing with the
struggles of finding a band that's going to work and
this limelight and then not the limelight, he is struggling
because he is infatuated with someone who even in the seventies,
that kind of relationship was frowned upon, right, Okay. He
is struggling with this, and he talks to his friend
named Ian Dallas, and Ian Dallas just happens to be
converting to Islam at the same time that they're having
this conversation. And he said, and Ian Dallas says, there's
a poem you need to read, okay, And he gives
them this poem and it's about this princess who falls
in love with a poet, but the poet is poor,
and the princess's father says, no, you can't, you can't
have anything to do with him, and marries her off
to a rich man and so she's with a man
she doesn't love, and this poor poet literally goes out
in the wilderness and goes mad because he knows she
loves him, but he can't be with her. Right it's
driving him insane. Okay, So Dell reads this poem and
is like, this is my predicament. Because he's in love
with the wife of his best friend. The bells are
going off for him. Yeah, I think they're probably going
off for some other people too. His best friend, I, okay,
is a member of the Beatles. Would you like to
tell the rest of the story.
Speaker 1: All right, well, I'm gonna let you. I'm not gonna
interrupt your story, but clearly we are now talking about
Patty Boyd, George Harrison, and Eric Clapton.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Dell was the name that Eric Clapton was given
by his friend, Okay, when they first put the band together.
His friend said, because he didn't want to be the limelight. Right,
He's like, you should call the band Dell and the Dynamos.
The announcer for their first show, knowing that this is
Eric Clapton looks at this Dell and the Dynamos gets
it flipped around, combines the names and says Derek and
the Dominoes, and they're like, heck, yeah, that's it. That's
going to be the name of our band. The poem
that was the inspiration for the words of this song
is called Layla in the Margin or Layla and the Madman.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: This is awesome.
Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about Layla in our good Fellow's episode.
Of course, Eric Clapton needs no introduction by us, right,
we talked about George Harrison. We talked about Patty Boyd.
Even I can't remember exactly what we were doing, but.
Speaker 2: Well, she was the one that inspired like four different
mega hits, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, and so yes, the
rest of the story is, of course, ultimately that she
it's divorced from George Harrison and once he finds out
about this affair and her love for him, and he's
even really not that mad about it because he himself
had been unfaithful during their marriage. What the Beatle Surprisingly, yes,
even I think fooled around with Ringo Star's wife.
Speaker 1: But Barbara Bach go back to our Jaspond episode.
Speaker 2: Okay, but yeah, George Harrison is actually at their wedding.
He goes to the wedding of Patty Boyd and Eric Clapton. Okay,
and then of course Eric Clapton stays married to her
until nineteen eighty nine. I guess they he could live
without her, apparently, And then about three years later, Eric
Clapton is an unplugged album where covers this song that's
the nineties hit where it reaches twelve.
Speaker 1: I remember when that song came out that summer. Yeah,
and I remember the unplug was an MTV unplug.
Speaker 2: That they recorded. I don't know if it was strictly
MTV or if they had just done their own unplugged thing.
I don't remember that.
Speaker 1: So tell me about the drummer. He's just a he's
one of the guys in Derek and the Dominoes.
Speaker 2: Yes, So the drummer Jamie is Jim Gordon, and Jim
like the beginning of the video. The first video that
I watched on Jim Gordon is is Jeff Corro saying
he's played on this song and this song, and this
song and this song, and if you want to know
how to play the drums, you need to go listen
to it and imitate everything that he does because he's
the best drummer that's ever lived.
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, Wow. That's Hey, that's great story man. I
was on the hook the whole time. Yeah, and that's
pretty good since I knew kind of the players involved,
so exactly. Wow, And Layla is an all time great song,
you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so surprisingly it was not a big hit when
it first got released, but that's because they took the
song and they cut it in half. They cut out
that piano coda that Rita Poolige had come up with
that Jim Gordon had stolen. They cut it out, and then,
for a reason that I can't find, it was released
a couple of years later and they included that second part,
and that's when it really started to catch fire.
Speaker 1: And correct me if I'm wrong with I think Scorsese
has used it multiple times in his movies.
Speaker 2: I know that it's a big feature for Good Fellows.
I don't know if he's used at other places.
