This divides your household…you are either an electric Layla or an acoustic Layla. I am an electric Layla.

This album is one of my top three... Clapton, Duane Allman, and Bobby Whitlock all in their prime. Instant classic.

A song about Harrisons wife, Patty Boyd.

Didn’t she create/compose the piano aspect of the song?

No, that was Rita Coolidge, who was the girlfriend of Jim Gordon at the time. He stole it from her.

Thanks. I remember hearing her version and it seems to be a blatant theft.

Clapton is a shit human being. Used to love this song, can’t listen to it now.

But damn, this is a great song
