Like I said in the Bluestown thread, I'll always defer to your knowledge, Chili -- you were
there during those days -- and as for me, for some odd reason, I have a hard time remembering
anything I was doing in the seventies.
Rick's website says his first session was Todd Rundgren's Something/Anything, but also work with Bobby Whitlock (and others):

Moving to the Hollywood Hills in the summer of 1971, Rick did his first pro work on tour with Delaney & Bonnie. Soon after, he began to establish himself as a respected recording session player first appearing on Todd Rundgren's classic album, "SOMETHING ANYTHING". At this time Rick also worked with such artists as LITTLE RICHARD, BOBBY WHITLOCK, JOHN PRINE, and DOBIE GRAY among many others.

And it bears repeating that this came about because of
Delaney and Bonnie, who heard Rick play on the east coast and convinced him to move to Southern Cal (at age 21, I think) and jump into the biz.
