This song is about George Harrison's wife, Pattie. She and Clapton began living together in 1974 and married in 1979. Clapton and Harrison remained good friends, with George playing at their wedding along with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. Clapton left her for actress Lory Del Santo (with whom he had his son, Conor) in 1985. In an article published in The Guardian December 13, 2008, Pattie said: "I wasn't so happy when Eric wrote 'Layla,' while I was still married to George. I felt I was being exposed. I was amazed and thrilled at the song - it was so passionate and devastatingly dramatic - but I wanted to hang on to my marriage. Eric made this public declaration of love. I resisted his attentions for a long time - I didn't want to leave my husband. But obviously when things got so excruciatingly bad for George and me it was the end of our relationship. We both had to move on. Layla was based on a book by a 12th-century Persian poet called Nizami about a man who is in love with an unobtainable woman. The song was fantastically painful and beautiful.

To add to this, you can read the lyrics of George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" album and Clapton's lyrics on the "Layla" album as a conversation about Patty and Clapton's feelings for her. George and Eric remained pretty civil through all of this. Also of note is that the band on both records was in great part the same. Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle, and Jim Gordon were all Dominos and all played on the ATMP sessions as core band members. Clapton and Harrison had both played with them while playing on the Delaney and Bonnie and Friends tour. Duane also played with D&B briefly.

Clapton was very close friends with George Harrison. Then he fell intensely in love with George's wife, Patty Boyd. Although she was not happy in the marriage, Patty was not willing to leave George initially. Clapton was desperate for Patty, and felt terrible for betraying his friend. Clapton's conflicted emotions can be heard in these intense vocals. This desperate mood permeated the studio, and made these legendary recording sessions. The whole band knew what was going on with Clapton and Boyd, and Duane Allman's slide-guitar is searing. Another classic song from this album is "Bellbottom Blues".

In the 1970's, we rated the quality of an FM Radio Station based on how they played "Layla". If they played Layla all the way to the end, waiting patiently for the final "bird sounds", then it was a quality radio station. But if the DJ talked over the end, or interrupted it with a new song, we knew that radio "s-cked". It was so important to find DJs that respected the music. Albums were expensive, and quality radio was where you could hear a wide range of great music.

The lineup that eventually became Derek and the Dominoes started out at the backing band for Delaney & Bonnie and friends (including George Harrison). Then they were the backing band on George Harrison's All This Must Pass album. As they were about to record the Layla album, Eric Clapton saw the Allman Brothers Band. He invited Duane Allman to contribute slide guitar on the Layla album.

This band formed after they all came together in England to help George Harrison record his landmark "All Things Must Pass" album in 1970. They quickly broke up amid drug problems and ego clashes. Layla is George's first wife, who Clapton fell in love with in the late 1960s. George and Pattie were already growing apart as George got obsessively into Eastern mysticism, drugs and drink and cheating on Pattie, although they were apparently both into the "free love" spirit in the late 1960s like many hippies were at the time. That is explained in the lyric "tried to give you consolation, when your old man had let you down, like a fool I fell in love with you." George was actually happy when Pattie ended up with Eric because it removed the burden from him of having to leave Pattie. George quickly met his second wife Olivia in 1974 after George later called Clapton his "Guitarist-in-law" and he attended Clapton and Pattie's wedding in 1979. Clapton treated Pattie like crap and later left her for another woman after being pretty abusive with Pattie amid all his alcoholic/drug excesses. George and Pattie remained close for the rest of George's life - he even later bought her a house and helped her out financially. Clapton and George were as close as brothers for the rest of George's life. Check out the spectacular "Concert for George" spearheaded by Clapton a year after George's death at 58 in 2001. Probably the best tribute show I have ever seen - Paul, Ringo, Clapton, Billy Preston, Tom Petty, Jeff Lyne - just an amazing show. Peace! Tragic sidebar - Jim Gordon later went insane and murdered his own mother with a hammer and spent the rest of his life in prison. He had also stole the "Layla" piano coda from his former girlfriend RIta Coolidge, who he broke up with after he inexplicably punched her full in the face without explanation about the moment she thought he was going to propose.

Imagine having a guitarist of Duane Allman's skill and stature available as a studio hack for a band that already features a great lead guitarist. Allman was pure taste/class and this song wouldn't come close to hitting like this without him. Don't take this the wrong way, but I was thoroughly surprised that someone with your knowledge and taste didn't know this song. I say that without scorn or disgust. On the contrary. Thats what im here for. Thats why I watch reaction videos.

Great reaction. When this song was released, it kicked Clapton's legend status to a whole other level. Clapton was definitely at the top of his game at this point of his career. Unfortunately, it was also the beginning of his addiction to heroin which, by the grace of God (and Pete Townsend), was a relatively short-lived experience. This album is packed with gems and contains only one or two mediocre tunes, but I still love every song. The absolute best tune on the LP is Key to the Highway. It was an impromptu jam session that was luckily captured on tape. The story is that the producer, Tom Dowd, was preoccupied in the bathroom when the song started. He apparently barged into the booth still holding his pants up and yelled at his assistant engineers to turn on the recording equipment. The result is an absolute masterpiece. The tradeoffs between Clapton and Allman solos are pure gold. There are times when it seems Clapton is finishing his lead when all of a sudden he kicks it into another gear and plays for an additional four bars. Aside from this one, there are two other songs that were recorded live in the studio: Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out, and Have You Ever Loved a Woman. Both tunes are a joy to listen to, especially when you know that the band is playing it on the fly. I strongly encourage you to devote more time to explore this album.

This song is an example of how true musical talent can take some nylon strings, a drum snake, amplifiers, plastic picks, etc., and create human emotion. It expresses love, passion, pain, and anguish. Clapton's guitar actually sounds like it's sobbing! (I've read that Clapton was in tears at the end of this song.)

Sometimes you get several talented musicians together and it doesn’t work. Then sometimes you get Layla

One of my favorite songs ever. One of those that the volume gets turned way up.

I cannot add much to what has already been stated here in the comments. Yes, I think this is Clapton's best work. We certainly played the album pretty much non-stop when I was dating my future ex-husband. It's beautiful and the final section brings such peace. Wow. The memories this song brings back makes me smile. Thanks for the reaction!

L33 ❤ your comment on fat. Fat is flavor such as a big prime rib and Layla is definitely a prime rib. Every bite is succulent.

Pattie Boyd went to a convent school less than one mile from where l live in East Grinstead, West Sussex. To have three major hit songs written about one person is almost unprecedented. Clapton's version of Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing is also worth checking out on this album.

There's a great live version of this song from 1986 in Birmingham, UK with Clapton, Greg Phillinganes, Nathan East and Phil Collins. 🙂 I definitely recommend watching that.

Allman and Clapton trading guitar licks, Radle and Gordon with the rhythm section and Whitlock with vocals keys and writing. Favorite track on the album is "Why Does Love Got to be So Sad?".

No one who hears it will ever deny that Duane Allman deserves his place among the greats. He absolutely takes the song over and challenges Clapton to match him.

Clapton found out the Allmans were in town touring so Phil Walden took the Dominoes to see the ABB - they sat in front & shocked the hell out of Duane. Eric invited the ABB back to the studio - Eric & Duane immediately became guitar brothers - trading licks thru most of the album. The acoustic version of Layla Unplugged is how Eric planned the song - but Duane came up with the opening riff & sped the song up. Eric tried to get Duane to join the Dominos but Duane declined having his ABB - shortly thereafter - the ABB Live at Fllmore Album was born. Both legendary albums.

Actually Duane told Clapton “he would like to be a fly on the wall on this session”, then Eric asked him to play on it.

Just listened to Eivor's new release ENN. One of the best albums I've ever heard. A masterpiece by the worlds greatest vocalist. Music isn't dead, it just moved to Scandinavia. Huge Clapton fan here also.
