1:00 AM RJ's Different World

Is this the same RJ who hosted "Disco USA" on WPHL years later?

And remember, as Reunion once sang (albeit at a very fast pace): "Mushroom omelet/Bonnie Bramlett/Wilson Pickett/Stop and kick it". ;)

Very likely was. After all, during the '70's, the New York-Metro edition claimed WOR-TV/9's sign-on newscasts were B&W too, though I know they were color.

Of course, what was KYW's sign-on news like at that time? Was it someone in the anchor desk, or just an announcer reading headlines over a slide?

If it was over a slide, I would think a big station like KYW would have retired their black-and-white film chain by now.

Probably slides-only - and definitely color (via RCA TK-27 chains), with a staff announcer (likely Bob Bradley or Gary Geers) reading the headlines.

Delaney & Bonnie & Friends is one group; married
couple Delaney & Bonnie Bramlett and their backup.

At various times, the "Friends" included Eric Clapton, Duane Allman, Leon Russell, Dave Mason, among others. George Harrison, too, I think.

It was a very fluid lineup, and I have no idea if any of the above were in the band at this point.

In the case of Duane Allman, certainly not; by 1973, he was long since dead, having passed away two years earlier.

...Delaney & Bonnie & Friends had even been signed by Harrison to Apple Records, The Beatles' record label at the time. Unfortunately, their contract with Elektra was still active, and before long both deals were voided. Harrison apparently felt he had caused the situation, and to make amends he convinced Eric Clapton to use D&B&F as the opening act for Blind Faith's U.S. tour, which in turn led to a recording deal with British Polydor (Clapton's then-label) and U.S. Atco (Polydor's main affiliate here at the time)...
