Delaney & Bonnie

The moved on to Elektra Records for their second album, Accept No Substitute. After touring with the likes of Eric Clapton, Blind Faith, and John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band, they released To Bonnie from Delaney in 1970 and Motel Shot in 1971, both recorded with an all-star cast of musicians. They divorced later that year, which ended their musical partnership.
