I love Delbert. The first time I saw Delbert was in the mid seventies in Austin. It was a four piece band. Delbert played piano. It was great! I had never heard anything like him, and still haven't. We did a double bill with him back in the late eighties. It was a lot of fun. Living in Austin off and on over the years, I have seen both of them several times. Great stuff.
I wasn't aware of him, other than hearing his name, until I saw him one time on CMT when I was channel hopping. He and his band were live, singing, "Everytime I Roll the Dice". I was knocked out. If I had a band, and could sing, I'd want to sound like Delbert.
@david75090 l always loved his voice. I looke at some older videos last night, when his voice was at it's peak. What a sound.
@Sticks48 I like the honky tonk piano sound that's usually in his band.
