It has to be some kind of music history sin that this lady is not better known. Most people know her as Roseanne's co-worker, Bonnie Watkins. She sang on the show a couple of times. Embedding is disable, but you can watch it HERE.
Bonnie Bramlett goes way back. At age 14, she sang in clubs in East St. Louis. She was even in the late '60s, early '70s LA music scene (which of course is one of favorite things)with her husband Delaney, who himself, it seems should have been more well known. She has sang with the likes of Eric Clapton, Leon Russell, George Harrison, Dave Mason, Rita Coolidge, Gram Parsons and John Lennon. She co-wrote the song "Give Peace A Chance" with Leon Russell. There is way more about her than I could even put here. Google her! You can read more about her HERE. She still sings and has a beautiful voice. I like the older stuff better myself. THIS is also a good one and below is my favorite with Eric Clapton, Bobbie Whitlock and Dave Mason. I'll be searching Amazon for Delaney & Bonnie CDs.
