"Motel Shot" was an album by Delaney and Bonnie and Friends that came out in 1974. Everything they have ever sang or done has been something I liked from their appearance in the classic film "Vanishing Point," to their stint on the road with Eric Clapton, but they never got the fame and fortune they deserved.
Shortly after they divorced in 1972, I was fortunate enough to see Delaney perform in a small club with maybe 25 people in the audience, but he still delivered a killer performance like he was in front of thousands.
Bonnie Bramlett had such a soulful voice that she became the first white Ikette singing background vocals with the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Later on in life she had the role of Bonnie on the TV show "Roseanne."
This simple song was their most successful and reached number 13 in 1971. It was recorded mostly "live" in the studio.
