Born in Tulsa, Radle made his early musical connections in Tulsa, Oklamoha while in his twenties. In addition to befriending artists such as J.J. Cale and Leon Russell, Radle's early career revolved around working with Gary Lewis & The Playboys, Colours, and John Lee Hooker. By the end of the 1960's, Radle decided to head west to California and reconnected with Leon Russell who was already immersed in the session scene. Thanks to Russell's introduction, Radle got the gig touring with Delaney & Bonnie and Friends.
1970 proved to be a landmark year in Radle's career, as he toured with Joe Cocker's "Mad Dogs & Englishmen," formed Derek & The Dominos alongside Eric Clapton, and played bass on records including George Harrison's All Things Must Pass and Alone Together by Dave Mason. Despite the success of Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, The Dominos broke up and Radle found himself returning to session work. During the first half of the 1970's, he recorded with Dr. John, J.J. Cale, Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge, Freddie King, Buddy Guy, Art Garfunkel, and performed during George Harrison's Concert For Bangladesh. When Eric Clapton decided to focus on a solo career, he enlisted Radle for his touring and recording band for the later half of the 1970's. Towards the end of the decade, Clapton decided to go in a different musical direction and Radle moved back to Tulsa. At the age of 37, he passed away in May of 1980 due to kidney failure.
