A bit of J. J. Cale’s bio for some of our younger viewers:
“Then in 1970, Clapton recorded “After Midnight,” a song Cale had written in the mid-60s. At the time he was back in Tulsa, laying low. Not for long. Clapton’s lavish praise, expressed in every interview he gave, soon thrust the modest and self-effacing Cale into the glare of a spotlight he has never really sought or desired.
“Cale was grateful for the recognition but has always been put off by the notion of celebrity. “I’m a guitarist and a songwriter and I got lucky when Clapton heard one of my songs,” he says. “I’m not a showbiz kind of guy. I had the passion to do music as much as anybody. But I never wanted to be the patsy up front. And I still don’t want to be famous.”
“Clapton continues to be an enthusiastic champion, having since covered “Cocaine,” “Travelin’ Light,” and “I’ll Make Love To You Anytime.” When Mojo Magazine asked recently which other musician he would most like to be, he answered “Cale,” calling him “one of the masters of the last three decades of music.”
“And so Cale has reluctantly had to grow accustomed to the attention throughout a long and successful solo career that has seen songs like “After Midnight,” “Cocaine,” “Call Me The Breeze,” and “Crazy Mama” become rock’n’roll standards. ”
