The subject of the legendary 'Derek and the Dominoes' aka 'Layla' album was discussed in a recent music thread, so I thought I'd post this article that I just ran across...there are also some pics of the lovely siren Patti Boyd...
Pattie Boyd: 'My hellish love triangle with George and Eric' - Part One
George Harrison wrote the love song 'Something' for his wife Pattie Boyd. Eric Clapton wrote 'Layla' for her. Theirs was the most extraordinary love triangle in rock history.
Now, after four decades of silence, the woman who drove two music legends wild tells the raw, unexpurgated story of her life...
We met secretly at a flat in South Kensington. Eric Clapton had asked me to come because he wanted me to listen to a new number he had written.
He switched on the tape machine, turned up the volume and played me the most powerful, moving song I had ever heard. It was Layla, about a man who falls hopelessly in love with a woman who loves him but is unavailable.
