CLAPTON: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY
In his 2007 autobiography, Clapton: The Autobiography, Eric Clapton claimed that Delaney & Bonnie and Friends was the first white group to sign with Stax Records. Delaney & Bonnie and Friends was the opening act for Blind Faith at many of their concert appearances; about this, Eric Clapton stated: “For me, going on [with Blind Faith] after Delaney & Bonnie was really, really tough, because I thought they were miles better than us.” The group recorded a total of six albums between1969 and 1971, though none were big sellers.
