The debut album by folk/soul duo Delaney & Bonnie, Home, was released in mid 1969 on Stax records.  This was their only release on the Stax label, and with competition from 26 other albums released by Stax that year, was not overly successful.  Soon becoming know as Delaney & Bonnie  & Friends, they played with "Friends" like Gregg and Duane Allman, George Harrison, Leon Russell, Eric Clapton, Gram Parsons and others.  Here is A Right Now Love followed by
Piece of my Heart:





Their first studio album with their new label Atco, was released in September of 1970. More of a blues/rock album that soul, this album was recorded with a huge list of guest start like Duane Allman, Jim Gordon & Bobby Whitlock (Derek & the Dominos), Mike Utley (Jimmy Buffet, coral reefer band), Little Richard, Sneaky Pete Kleinow (Flying Burrito Bros.) and others!  Although not the best condition, this soulful track The Love of my Man shows Bonnies' vocal strength, in league with Janis Joplin. Following that song is Soul Shake:
