 Bobby Whitlock of Derek and the Dominos dies at 77

Bobby Whitlock, cofounder of Derek & the Dominos, passed away early Sunday morning at his home in Texas after a brief illness, according to his manager. He was 77. Surrounded by family, Whitlock took his final breath at 1:20 a.m. His family is currently working to identify a charity where fans can send donations in his memory.

Whitlock’s wife, Coco Carmel Whitlock, paid tribute to his remarkable journey from poverty in the South to great success in music and art. She described him as a man who viewed life as an adventure, guiding her through a world filled with music, poetry, and painting. She recalled his warmth and expressed that he lived by the motto, “Life is what you make it, so take it and make it beautiful.”

Whitlock was best known for cofounding the blues rock band Derek & the Dominos in 1970 with Eric Clapton and for his significant contributions to the landmark album Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs. His musical career began early as a session musician at Memphis’s legendary Stax Studios, where he became the first white artist signed to Stax Records—a label central to the development of the “Memphis Sound.” Whitlock also collaborated with Beatles legend George Harrison on his solo album All Things Must Pass and contributed uncredited work to the Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main Street.

Later in life, Whitlock developed a passion for painting, completing over 1,800 pieces since 2018. His artwork was described as deeply expressive, capturing his inner emotions on canvas. Bobby Whitlock’s impact on music and art leaves a lasting legacy.
