    Never forget that Clapton began as, and still is, one of best and most influential lead guitar players of rock n roll, deeply rooted in the blues. He was in the Yardbirds, Derek and the Dominoes and Cream (check some of those performances). He ranked second in the Rolling Stone 100 greatest guitar players of all time in 2023. He's never been the best vocalist, but it is park of his kit. I think that often younger people than myself (74, grew up in that era) focus on the vocalist more and more rather than the bands. The bands are what made rock n roll. So with Clapton, you really must understand his guitar playing to understand what he is capable of. The guitar - that's what makes him sexy.

    "Layla" is a song written by Eric Clapton and Jim Gordon, originally recorded with their band "Derek and the Dominos", as the thirteenth track from their only studio album, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs (1970). Its contrasting movements were composed separately by Clapton and Gordon. The piano part has also been controversially credited to Rita Coolidge, Gordon's girlfriend at the time. Clapton originally wrote "Layla" as a ballad, with lyrics describing his unrequited love for Boyd, but the song became a "rocker" when, according to Clapton, Allman composed the song's signature riff.

    He is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: once as a solo artist, and separately as a member of the Yardbirds and of Cream. In his solo career, he has sold more than 280 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling musicians of all time.[12] In 1998, Clapton, a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, founded the Crossroads Centre on Antigua, a medical facility for those recovering from substance abuse.[13] Wikipedia.

    Clapton had many different looks throughout his career. He started at 18 in 63 with the Yardbirds, then joined John Mayall’s Blues-breakers in 65, then Cream in 66, and then one album with Blindfaith in 69, followed by one album with Delaney, Bonnie & Friends also in 69, then Derick & the Dominoes in 70. His solo career followed until the present.
    I’ve given you this info because I know you would enjoy his early fashion sense. Type in Clapton & each band to look at the images. You may think one of the younger more fashionable Claptons might be a contender for the PDC.

    Your accustomed to post-heroine Clapton, after he got clean his music got more poppy or introspective with lots of folk influence but his early years he was a huge pioneer of blues based rock, playing with aggression and energy that he just didn't show later. This is a song from the end of that early period. Was it because of heroin? I don't know, just the timing corresponds. "Clapton is God" was the mid-60s version of a meme, check out his playing from that period (Bluesbreakers Featuring Eric Clapton, Cream) to hear why.

    The entire record (Layla and Other Assorted Love songs, in my opinion captures unrequited love like no other. Patti married both George and Eric and was considered the biggest muse. Her sister married Mick Fleetwood. When Peter Green started Fleetwood Mac, he named it after Mick and Mac (McVie the bass player). On the original recordings it is the interplay with Duane Allman just before he passed that made it a blues rock masterpiece.

    As others have said, the studio version of this produced by Tom Dowd, with Duane Allman playing his amazing slide is rock history. That Derek and The Dominos album is one of the greatest ever.

    Another song written about Pattie Boyd. This is the original instrumentation. He later recorded it as more of a slow, acoustic ballad that has the same words, but sounds like a completely different song. That is the song that will put him in the PDC. You need to watch the MTV Unplugged version. There is a reason that people used to graffiti "Clapton is God" on walls. He is one of the OG guitar gods. He is the only person to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three separate times. He is the lead guitarist on The Beatles, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." Duane Allman originally played the slide guitar on "Layla" when he and Eric were in Derrick and the Dominos. During this performance, that is Phil Collins on one of the drum kits.

    Your comments are fair. Let me just say that he was not know for flash, it was his bluesy rock guitar playing and song writing. He was highly influential in the 60's and is definitely one of the standard bearers of Rock music. You've reacted to Prince doing "While my guitar gently weeps." Prince was doing Eric Clapton's guitar solo (in a crazy show-off way). Anyways I love your reactions!

    Britt, I'm certainly not any expert here but his life changed dramatically on March 20, 1991, when his son fell from a high rise apartment in New York City. His music changed too. I suspect the tone of his music changed with all the rest that came down upon Eric. I can't imagine the pain he went through at that time.

  • @richarddaugherty8583

    The backup singers are singing "Layla". This is an alternate arrangement to the original recording. Clapton had fallen in love with Patti Boyd, George Harrison's wife. She eventually divorced Harrison and married (and later divorced) Clapton. Which, strangely, didn't break up the friendship between Clapton and Harrison. There is also the Arabic legend of Layla and her lovers search for her. You should react to the unplugged version Clapton did several years later on acoustic guitar. It's a great blues! Kind of like when Neil Sedaka re-released Breaking Up Is Hard to Do, which originally was a doo-wop song, but the later version was like a smokey blues torch song. You would also like Clapton performing Hoochie Coochie Man at the inaugural Crossroads concert. Fire!

    Duane Allman played the lead on the recorded version. The triplet riff in the intro is all Duane. If you're an Allman Brothers fan you will recognize the style immediately. Also, Duane's guitar was named "Layla". I only say this because this song was most definitely a collaborative effort.

Just put 'Wonderful Tonight ' on with headphones and you will be pantiless before the song is over!! 😂 Just cause you don't "get it", doesn't mean he's not making knickers drop worldwide!! I see Chris Stapleton as so-so, and my knickers stay on without any urge to drop them!!

    Masterpiece by EC, with a little help from Duane Allman who came up with the opening riff and provided some energy in the studio when the song was orignially recorded in 1970. The piano-based coda was originally played by drummer Jim Gordan, and was based, at the least, on a Rita Coolidge idea. Renowned producer Tom Dowd spliced it on to the end of Layla. Lot of events led to this two-part song.

    I first saw Eric in the 60s when he was in The Yardbirds. He didn't do any singing at all back then. He was quoted as saying that he never wanted to be the singer. He just wanted to be a blues guitarist. I believe the first time he sang lead vocals was a couple of years later on the Bluesbreakers album with John Mayall who persuaded him to sing Ramblin' On My Mind.

  • @karensilvera6694

    He was in Patty Boyd Harrison's PDC club. Lol She and George (a Beatle) divorced and she later married Eric.
    Eric was in love with her for awhile even though he was friends with Harrison.
    This song is partly about his love for her.
    I agree with others. Check out Cream and his guitar playing. Phew. He's brilliant on that instrument.

  • @ScotlandSword
    @ScotlandSword 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The closing part of the song with the melody that you seem to really enjoy is called a coda.
    In music a coda is a separate piece to close out the song. An outro can close out a song but it isn’t a new piece of music but typically a restatement of an earlier piece of the song.
    Coda: a concluding part
    1 : a concluding part of a literary or dramatic work. 2 : something that serves to round out, conclude, or summarize and usually has its own interest.
    Sidenote: Led Zeppelin has an album called Coda and there is also a movie called Coda.
    To me, the coda in Layla is the greatest coda in rock history. It was always the part of the song that I loved the most.

    So, Eric Clapton and Beatles' Guitarist George Harrison were good friends... at the time Harrison was married to Pattie Boyd. Eric Clapton was in love with his buddy's wife, and wrote this song about his feelings, but used the name "Layla." Boyd and Harrison eventually divorced and she married Clapton in 1979. Unfortunately, their marriage lasted aviit 10 years (just as her marriage to Harrison had).
    And Clapton has always been a guitar God with a wide range of tunes. I suggest some Cream tunes, "Sunshine of Your Love," "In a White Room." Later hits, the classic slow dance song that probably dropped a few panties, "Wonderful Tonight."
