George actually introduced himself as “the husband in law” at Eric and Pattie’s wedding 😂 lol I love him. And then there’s also the interview moment “we shared the same wife” when George was asked about Eric. I love George always joking, so relatable. Bless him. Rest In Peace my love, my favorite Beatle, George. ❤️
@@carlosangulo3035 George's marriage with Pat went weird after he went to India and too deep to religious eastern cult thing, he decided sorrounded him self with a lot of girls, don't forget that this is an era of hippies and flower generation, traditional marriage values and norms is out of the window, so Patty is devastated by George sudden changed. And there's Eric, George's 'best friend', who probably loves the idea of falling in love (especially the forbidden love). Patty was in vulnerable emotional situation at the time, she though Eric was her true love after she lost George, but nope, she later realize that both men are just into their ego. Both men just loves the idea about falling in love with her, but never really love her. At least she found her peace and happiness in her 3rd marriage.
I wish models today looked like they did in those days. I love that she has "normal" traits like a gap between her front teeth, and signature eyes ... she looks like the type of girl I'd see on the street today who'd take my breath away...
Yeah, remember Lauren Hutton who refused to get the gap in her front teeth fixed. I hate the Chiclet teeth people seem to have these days. As if that should be "the norm"...uck!
A woman is honest and shares her life and listen to all these crappy criticisms coming up... stone throwers...clean up your own doo before you judge others! I love her for explaining what happened... and we are lucky to know, inorder to understand the vicissitudes of our own human nature. There is no perfection on this planet, People do their best! She is an amazing women full of grace and charm!
Pattie has such a unique sweet beauty. What a remarkable time she lived through.... she deserved every song written for her. I love hearing her stories. It so happens George and Eric are my favorite guitarists too.
Damn, 'if you don't go with me, I'll take this whole vile of heroin.' That right there is a massive sign of a failed relationship, before it even started. Generally, out of control, abusive minds make threats like that to their partners. It's not cool to make someone feel guilty for their own choices in love and life. Example: 'I'm sorry I hit you, but if you walk out that door, my death is on YOUR hands.'
Too true !!! If someone uses emotional blackmail like that to try to get their way it is a very big red flag that are a manipulative, abusive and controlling personality, and should be ran far away from. Sadly a lot of people would not see what Eric did to Pattie as emotional blackmail or manipulative, they would see it as desperation born out of obsessive love. It's no wonder that Eric for all his professions of undying love and tenacious pursuit would treat her like crap once her got her.
Yes, a partner threatening suicide or self-harm if you leave is a massive red flag and a textbook piece of emotional abuse. Unfortunately for Pattie, that fact wasn't nearly as well known and recognised at the time as it is today.
Layla is a truly beautiful song about filling emptiness. Something is a very very special love song. Probably the best love song ever written. Both are amazing.
I loved George..right after Patti left him a reporter asked if they were still friends...His answer was classic..."Id rather her be with him then some bloke" RIP George

This is one of the most amazing stories of Rock~N~Roll. It is really a blessing they all were mature enough to remain friends and move on with class and style.
I met George and Olivia when I was working on the F1 McLaren project. They just walked into the styling studio to my suprise and I had a nice normal conversation with them about the charity work they where involved with for the orphans in Rumania
I always admired George Harrison for the way he handled the situation between Eric Clapton and Patti Boyd and always held a great deal of respect for him that he didn't allow this to come between their friendship. I wish I could say that I would have handled things with as much class, but I'm afraid I can't. In my humble opinion, George found his true soul mate with Olivia and perhaps that was the key to his recovery. That, and his beautiful son and his strong faith in his spiritual beliefs. The world lost a very good human being when George passed.
***** George Harrison was a beautiful human being and I hate it when people get on here just to talk trash or be disrespectful. The man brought joy to millions of people...first as a member of the Beatles and then later in his career as well and that's more than 99% of us will ever do. He was happy with his wife Olivia and together they created a beautiful, talented son in Dhani. Artists as varied as Jeff Lynne & Tom Petty to Ravi Shankar & Prince respected George's immense talent, and again, that speaks volumes about the man. Thank you for the kind words. Take care.
Absolutely, the more I find out about George, the more clear it is he had a beautiful spirit and a great gift for friendship and compassion for others. It is also clear how happy he was with Olivia and Dhani. He has given the world so much. Thanks again
MrMike9158 I totally agree. Though I always felt like I related to Harrison in many ways, and when I finally read the story about this whole love affair, I felt like he reacted very much how I would have. He was the forgive and forget type, even while in the heat of the moment. We have one life, no room for grudges IMO.
Agtronic I liked your comment and much respect to you if you truly feel you would have reacted the same way George reacted. It takes a good person and a strong person to react that way. I'm not sure I can say that I could have reacted like George did. As I stated previously, I think finding Olivia played a big part in his recovery along with George's personal Spiritual beliefs. And of course, once Olivia gave him the beautiful gift of Dhani, his healing was complete. This of course, is all just my own opinion. I just totally believe in my heart that George was a beautiful man and a very good human being. I appreciate you posting your thoughts with me, thank you. Take care.
Patty was so beautiful Skin like peaches I loved Patty as she was so easy to get along with I wish you so well Patty Those 4 years traveling together were a thrill of a lifetime.
People say in interviews or documentaries that she left George and married Eric, like she cheated or something, when it was George who cheated and Eric who cheated. She even stayed with George after Eric confessed his love for her and refused Eric for George, so in the end its not her fault that both cheated and one became distant with her. I love her. What a beautiful and lovely woman
She has the same smile as she did all those years ago, i adore Pattie so much, i am a huge beatlemaniac and i feel as though i would be terribly lost if i had never found pattie, she is such a darling and continues to be just as gorgeous as she was, she is my idol and my muse and i would kill to look like her. 💕💕 so much love for Pattie and George, though their love story was tragic towards the end, they still continued with such a beautiful friendship
This was beautiful to see Patty again It has been so long and she is still as beautiful as she was back then I see her soul in those blue eyes It is no wonder those guys fell so hard for her.
George Harrison definitely had a sense of humor. In an interview, the reporter asked him how he met Eric Clapton, to which he replied, "We shared the same wife."
George had his share of cheatings and stuff. It probably wasn't hard to make a choice. Though it's disappointing that Eric turned out to be the same kind of guy as George
You have to wonder in Eric's case whether his deep involvement with Pattie was psychologically a way to bond himself to George. I'm sure that Pattie was lovely, charming, fun to be with, and all that--but something deeper must have been going on. Something Oedipal. For as great a musician and celebrity icon that Eric was at the time, he did not reach the zenith of worldwide adoration that George achieved. Making it with Pattie became a way to psychologically validate himself on a higher level in his mind.
Ralph Adamo I'm sure the "Clapton is God" graffiti that started when he was in the Bluesbreakers, the acclaim of Cream and Blind Faith eased any jealousy he had over not being a Beatle.
Markle2k You might think that the acclaim Eric achieved would be enough, but when you reach the level that he has there are always higher mountains to climb. According to Ginger Baker, the esteemed drummer from Cream days, despite Eric's awesome talents, when he first heard Jimi Hendrix play, he was--in so many words--stung with envy.That's the funny thing about human psychology, and where the Oscar Wilde saying comes from: "There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it." An example of this is Oracle founder Larry Ellison, who's worth $54 billion, has a gigantic yacht, amazing autos, etc. Yet he feels great dissatisfaction and frustration that Bill Gates is worth $79 billion. Being #5 or whatever isn't "good enough" in his mind.
The media portrays Eric as a wife stealer. But in reality, G&Ps marriage was already disintegrating anyway so George was like "sure you can have her, we're done anyway."
A sad story all the way around, fame, drugs, alcohol, who can handle that? After reading Pattie's autobiography I felt her pain and sadness and I think she was the one who lost the most.
I agree. But Clapton has been showing not to be a very balanced person. Some men are so confused and they don't search for help. They "fall in love" instead of treating their addiction and existencial problema.
Such a lovely woman. Absolutely loved her book - I’m glad she came out of both of those relationships feeling okay. She deserves better than how the both of them treated her.
I agree. And women's stories deserves only 9 minutes. Dunno. I think it's a sad story. But maybe it's me. People praising her beauty is not enough for me I'm a strange person. I didn't know she wrote a book. Thank you.
How do you choose between the two? That's easy.. it comes down to "do I want to be treated like shit by George Harrison or do I want to be treated like shit by Eric Clapton?"
+123xconnieb Right on, I'm so glad someone else sees it like I do. Glad Patti is out of it now and appears happy in love with a real good guy! (According to her book)
+James Morris Yes, I agree there is two sides to a story, I read Eric Clapton's book also....he describes his behaviour during his alcohol abuse days and addiction and it coincides with reading Patti's book. So glad Eric finally got some help so he could have a healthy relationship and is happily married or so his book says.
+123xconnieb Well considering Clapton had a child with another woman while still married to Pattie, In her case you really dont know who to trust, certainly neither one of them
She’s lovely Patty❤️ and to have the top 2 guitarists in the worlds must have been heady stuff! I’m happy she survived these 2 guys who couldn’t keep their zips closed. ❤️ Patti 🥰
As a huge Beatles fan back then and still now - Pattie was always my favorite of their wives and girlfriends - even though many of my friends hated her!
Love how she admitted it was George that was the love of her life because the only reason Clapton got close to her is cause george was hardly ever home to see her
That and that he was a serial cheater. No matter how much a woman loves a man there comes a time that you have to develop some self respect and can no longer look the other way.
@@denisedoherty4909....I have to wonder just how well French women really cope with husbands or boyfriends dallying with other women. I can't imagine they're all as cool with it as they'd like us to believe.
She was in the right place at the right time. Without her spot on A Hard Days Night, she would have never been heard of. But she did make the most of it. Right in the middle of the 60's and 70's musical hurricane.
After reading her autobiography, George was the better man, but.....not by much. Eric was downright creepy and manipulative. I always held George in the highest esteem for his spiritual direction. But the truth is, after reading the book, it seems like the Maharishi really messed with George's head. He was never the same after the Beatles returned from India. Instead of being more spiritual, it appears as his ego got inflated as he thought of himself as a guru with all rights to have a harem more than a husband. Pattie blames the massive amounts cocaine that George took as making him more withdrawn, but she talks about his meditating quite a bit. Both I believe were destructive. But Eric, psssssh, what a shallow narcissist.
AdventuresOfTheKanFam ..I just read Eric Clapton's biography and he had a severe drinking problem. It was far worse than the smack.. Eric was with every woman he wanted and they were more than happy to please him. Yep, he cheated on her big time. He said he wanted Pattie so bad but then after getting her it was no longer fun and his so called love for her went away.. I do love Eric Clapton. He had a screwed up childhood.
Loved Eric's guitar playing and the Layla LP yet he was just messed up in the head to treat his best friend so crappy by "falling" for George's wife Patti. It's like stabbing George in the back. Patti was cool through it all for the most part. I think they both were too young to marry anyway and happy George fell in love again.
This interview helps me solve some conundrums in my life. Thank you, Pattie. ... My husband is a musician. He plays "Wonderful Tonight." And Layla is one of my favorites of Eric's songs. .. But even as the muse that you are, the men could not be faithful, and you still couldn't keep their attention. (Not an insult to you at all!!!) Sometimes, I just feel invisible. ❤️ ... This helps me know, IT's NOT ME! 😃 .. I'm starting nursing school at 51 years old. I think I'm really going to like being a nurse.
no matter how Patty Interpetates those songs and those days i personally want to thank her for whatever Magic she has in her Heart and Soul for inspiring two of the most Beautiful songs inmy life in 1990 i married the Love of my Life it didn’t last very long but we do have two Awesome Children as a result of that Union and when i was asked by my Fiancé what song i wanted to be our Wedding Song and first Dance without hesitation or any regrets it was Wonderfull Tonight my Ex Wife and I aren’t married but we do remain Freinds so thankyou Patty for being the Inspiration of such a touching song
The integrity of a man commands that you just don't chase another man's woman. As tempting as it is, or she is, you don't do it. I'm amazed that George and Eric remained friends.
Its impossible to judge people not knowing precisely all the pressures and circumstances they were living under. two great artists who created dreams and gave hope to others through their music and the woman they both loved. Had it not been for Pattie we would never have had "something" or "Layla".
Frank Sinatra said "Something is the most beautiful song I've ever heard". Any way Pattie certainly inspired two great musicians, and ultimately three of my favorite songs. The spontaneous instrumental born at the end of "Layla" is my absolute favorite. Second only to the piece Hendrix pulled out at Woodstock.
I simply know ONE thang and one thang only; if indeed the iconic and arguably greatest R&R studio LP ever, Layla was inspired by this woman well then may God bless her...
I have read some good comments about how George handled the triangle with Eric , his friendship with Eric and his everlasting love with Pattie till the end of his life even if he knew Olivia was the love of his life and that she saved him in many ways. Anyway I'd like to add that as human being there's no possible comparison between George snd Eric as George was an incredible great human being and Eric knew that when he organized the Concert for George. and when in Japan during an interview he explained why he loved George. Thanks God for the present of his life!!!
Rita Coolidge wrote the entire second half of the song with Jim Gordon for another song she planned to release called "Time (Don't Let the World Get in Our Way)," and she was rightly angry after hearing it on "Layla" and not receiving credit for it. The song was then recorded by her sister, Priscilla, with Booker T. Jones (Priscilla's then husband) in 1973... but this time, it was Jim Gordon who didn't get the co-credit!
Not only that, but even Eric's half of "Layla" has melodic inspirations: Duane Allman came up with the main riff after hearing Albert King's version of "As the Years Go Passing By."
The other woman was Lori Del Santo, they had a son named Connor who later fell to his death through the window of a 53rd floor apartment building in Manhattan. His son's death led to him to write Tears in Heaven.
Pattie Boyd damn well deserved the title of Queen of Rock. She was extremely beautiful, and you’d have to be the Queen when you inspire songs like Layla (one of the greatest rockers of all time) and Something (the greatest love song of all time)
Glad we got to visit London a couple weeks ago, Royal Albert Hall and so much more...a real treat....too bad we can't see Henley on Thames, the Friar Park home of George and Olivia and Dhani...maybe some time
Wow...listening to the words from Layla all these years, it's amazing how powerful his love for Layla was!! And amazing how that song became an anthem for a long time in America... So happy I was a teen when it was popular, it was a great time in music and my life !
If I remember right in one of his interview.Eric said he didn't think it was love,but obsession he had.Also in one of George interview,he said he already knew that Eric had feelings for Pattie.Pattie said at one time she left George cause of his drug addiction.So we really don't know who to believe!
George Harrison did NOT do the greatest music of his career with the Beatles. Something and Here Comes the Sun started it off but his greatest music was surely in the early 1970s.
And all I had to worry about was buying a pair of tight jeans and going on a a motor bike with a fella called Razor, at the age 16 and being humiliated by my Mum chasing us in her car, when we stopped, she beat 9 bells out of me, needless to say I never saw Razor again. What has this to do with Patty Boyd, absolutely nothing, just thought I would talk about me - Well Fame has always eluded me so just thought I find a little niche - LMAO
(Wonderful tonight )always seemed to play when I was dressing for a night out with my husband at the time.I felt like it was written for me.PattieThank you for being the inspiration for the song.
I read the book and I really enjoyed it. George was always my FAVE Beatle and I was a little jealous of Patti. But boy what a Woman. Very brave and Beautiful
I can believe that George really was the love of her life. Olivia Harrison has said that George had a tremendous affect on women. She said even a few words from him directed at you as a woman would stick with you forever. I am however glad in the petty side of me that George did get Eric back. He had a weekend affair in 1991 with Eric’s wife in Japan around the time they did a concert there together ... she has said that he was tremendously tender even though they had sex the whole weekend they talked as well and he was incredibly kind and held her as she cried about how Eric was icing her out since their sons death.. She also answered his questions and listened to him as he shared how he felt about the whole Patti/Eric thing which really affected him more than he led on this woman never forgot that weekend and has said it was one of the most passionate and tender times of her life which further proves Olivias point. He was an amazing man and according to other stories as well a very attentive and wonderful lover.
There has never been a woman with more memorable songs written about her than Pattie Boyd. You must have been a great person.......

For as great a musician and celebrity icon that Eric was at the time, he did not reach the zenith of worldwide adoration that George achieved. Making it with Pattie became a way to psychologically validate himself on a higher level in his mind.
Ralph Adamo I'm sure the "Clapton is God" graffiti that started when he was in the Bluesbreakers, the acclaim of Cream and Blind Faith eased any jealousy he had over not being a Beatle.
Markle2k You might think that the acclaim Eric achieved would be enough, but when you reach the level that he has there are always higher mountains to climb. According to Ginger Baker, the esteemed drummer from Cream days, despite Eric's awesome talents, when he first heard Jimi Hendrix play, he was--in so many words--stung with envy.That's the funny thing about human psychology, and where the Oscar Wilde saying comes from: "There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it." An example of this is Oracle founder Larry Ellison, who's worth $54 billion, has a gigantic yacht, amazing autos, etc. Yet he feels great dissatisfaction and frustration that Bill Gates is worth $79 billion. Being #5 or whatever isn't "good enough" in his mind.
The media portrays Eric as a wife stealer. But in reality, G&Ps marriage was already disintegrating anyway so George was like "sure you can have her, we're done anyway."
Yeah, like - "My dear fellow, you're very welcome to her; I'm sick of the sight of her."
You dont do that today. Try that with a mans wife today who you claim to be friends with. That's called forfeiture of right to breathe.
@@MmedicatedGoo honest to god truth right there. That’s the surest death warrant out there
No, it wasn't like that
She denies it herself
@@herbert9241 he was seeing maureen, ringos wife.
A sad story all the way around, fame, drugs, alcohol, who can handle that? After reading Pattie's autobiography I felt her pain and sadness and I think she was the one who lost the most.
But she moves forward
Yes I think she lost the most.
I agree. But Clapton has been showing not to be a very balanced person.
Some men are so confused and they don't search for help. They "fall in love" instead of treating their addiction and existencial problema.
Such a lovely woman. Absolutely loved her book - I’m glad she came out of both of those relationships feeling okay. She deserves better than how the both of them treated her.
I agree. And women's stories deserves only 9 minutes.
Dunno. I think it's a sad story. But maybe it's me.
People praising her beauty is not enough for me
I'm a strange person.
I didn't know she wrote a book. Thank you.
How do you choose between the two?
That's easy.. it comes down to "do I want to be treated like shit by George Harrison or do I want to be treated like shit by Eric Clapton?"
+123xconnieb Right on, I'm so glad someone else sees it like I do. Glad Patti is out of it now and appears happy in love with a real good guy! (According to her book)
+James Morris Just read her book then you know why both 123xconnieb and myself agreed.
+James Morris Yes, I agree there is two sides to a story, I read Eric Clapton's book also....he describes his behaviour during his alcohol abuse days and addiction and it coincides with reading Patti's book. So glad Eric finally got some help so he could have a healthy relationship and is happily married or so his book says.
+123xconnieb Well considering Clapton had a child with another woman while still married to Pattie, In her case you really dont know who to trust, certainly neither one of them
The Money comes in handy though!
She’s lovely Patty❤️ and to have the top 2 guitarists in the worlds must have been heady stuff! I’m happy she survived these 2 guys who couldn’t keep their zips closed. ❤️ Patti 🥰
Imagine having a 3 best love song that ever written made for you.. that is mad
As a huge Beatles fan back then and still now - Pattie was always my favorite of their wives and girlfriends - even though many of my friends hated her!
What a very, very lucky lady to have had both George and Eric love you. It would be very hard not to fall for both these amazing men.
She inspired some of the greatest love songs, thanks Patty.
Love how she admitted it was George that was the love of her life because the only reason Clapton got close to her is cause george was hardly ever home to see her
That and that he was a serial cheater. No matter how much a woman loves a man there comes a time that you have to develop some self respect and can no longer look the other way.
@@denisedoherty4909....I have to wonder just how well French women really cope with husbands or boyfriends dallying with other women. I can't imagine they're all as cool with it as they'd like us to believe.
She was in the right place at the right time. Without her spot on A Hard Days Night, she would have never been heard of. But she did make the most of it. Right in the middle of the 60's and 70's musical hurricane.
Wrong...she and her sister were big time model's in the 60's and all of the guys loved them.
+Joe Smith George Harrison spotted Pattie way before she did "A Hard Days Night.....
Fate
After reading her autobiography, George was the better man, but.....not by much. Eric was downright creepy and manipulative. I always held George in the highest esteem for his spiritual direction. But the truth is, after reading the book, it seems like the Maharishi really messed with George's head. He was never the same after the Beatles returned from India. Instead of being more spiritual, it appears as his ego got inflated as he thought of himself as a guru with all rights to have a harem more than a husband. Pattie blames the massive amounts cocaine that George took as making him more withdrawn, but she talks about his meditating quite a bit. Both I believe were destructive. But Eric, psssssh, what a shallow narcissist.
AdventuresOfTheKanFam ..I just read Eric Clapton's biography and he had a severe drinking problem. It was far worse than the smack.. Eric was with every woman he wanted and they were more than happy to please him. Yep, he cheated on her big time. He said he wanted Pattie so bad but then after getting her it was no longer fun and his so called love for her went away.. I do love Eric Clapton. He had a screwed up childhood.
@@irisheyzgrl24murphy92 Eric has lived a crazy life he was close to losing it all...
Loved Eric's guitar playing and the Layla LP yet he was just messed up in the head to treat his best friend so crappy by "falling" for George's wife Patti. It's like stabbing George in the back. Patti was cool through it all for the most part.
I think they both were too young to marry anyway and happy George fell in love again.
This interview helps me solve some conundrums in my life. Thank you, Pattie.
... My husband is a musician. He plays "Wonderful Tonight." And Layla is one of my favorites of Eric's songs. .. But even as the muse that you are, the men could not be faithful, and you still couldn't keep their attention. (Not an insult to you at all!!!)
Sometimes, I just feel invisible. ❤️
... This helps me know, IT's NOT ME! 😃
.. I'm starting nursing school at 51 years old. I think I'm really going to like being a nurse.
No sweetie. It's not you. Surely not you. I'm sure you'll be a wonderful nurse.
Love ❤❤❤❤
Wow, both are in my favorite songs... Something and Layla... what a muse!!!
no matter how Patty Interpetates those songs and those days i personally want to thank her for whatever Magic she has in her Heart and Soul for inspiring two of the most Beautiful songs inmy life in 1990 i married the Love of my Life it didn’t last very long but we do have two Awesome Children as a result of that Union and when i was asked by my Fiancé what song i wanted to be our Wedding Song and first Dance without hesitation or any regrets it was Wonderfull Tonight my Ex Wife and I aren’t married but we do remain Freinds so thankyou Patty for being the Inspiration of such a touching song
The integrity of a man commands that you just don't chase another man's woman. As tempting as it is, or she is, you don't do it. I'm amazed that George and Eric remained friends.
Yeah. It kind of seems cringe-worthy on George's part. However, I think he admired Eric more, as a musician, than a man.
This is the most grounded comment here. Without integrity, one is nothing.
Or Ringo and George.
Real men live by this code.
Rock stars are not models of morality. They have different values and lifestyles
Those big blue eyes! Amazing! No wonder men fell in love with her! She seems so gracious too.
Its impossible to judge people not knowing precisely all the pressures and circumstances they were living under. two great artists who created dreams and gave hope to others through their music and the woman they both loved. Had it not been for Pattie we would never have had "something" or "Layla".
I love her. She was & still is just lovely :)
O femeie inteligenta, plina de magnetism si deosebit de frumoasa care a inspirat doi giganti ai muzicii, prieteni dealtfel...
Frank Sinatra said "Something is the most beautiful song I've ever heard".
Any way Pattie certainly inspired two great musicians, and ultimately three of my favorite songs. The spontaneous instrumental born at the end of "Layla" is my absolute favorite. Second only to the piece Hendrix pulled out at Woodstock.
I simply know ONE thang and one thang only; if indeed the iconic and arguably greatest R&R studio LP ever, Layla was inspired by this woman well then may God bless her...
I have read some good comments about how George handled the triangle with Eric , his friendship with Eric and his everlasting love with Pattie till the end of his life even if he knew Olivia was the love of his life and that she saved him in many ways. Anyway I'd like to add that as human being there's no possible comparison between George snd Eric as George was an incredible great human being and Eric knew that when he organized the Concert for George.
and when in Japan during an interview he explained why he loved George.
Thanks God for the present of his life!!!
Rita Coolidge wrote the entire second half of the song with Jim Gordon for another song she planned to release called "Time (Don't Let the World Get in Our Way)," and she was rightly angry after hearing it on "Layla" and not receiving credit for it.
The song was then recorded by her sister, Priscilla, with Booker T. Jones (Priscilla's then husband) in 1973... but this time, it was Jim Gordon who didn't get the co-credit!
very good point!
Not only that, but even Eric's half of "Layla" has melodic inspirations: Duane Allman came up with the main riff after hearing Albert King's version of "As the Years Go Passing By."
Frank Sinatra was heard to say that the song Something, is the greatest song ever written.
both guys were talented. clapton still plays excellent guitar. harrison was in the greatest group. she is still a cutie.
hearing the clapton heroin story makes him sound like a huge bittch- and she is too
Inspiration for great songs, she is so unpretentious, wonderful lady.
Layla is a downright masterpiece.
+neeno001 Must be crazy having two legendary songs written about you.
It’s a decent song but not a masterpiece
@@ramencurry6672 bruh its probably the greatest rock song ever
Remember Duane Allman
@@navneetsinghr4290 not really
The other woman was Lori Del Santo, they had a son named Connor who later fell to his death through the window of a 53rd floor apartment building in Manhattan. His son's death led to him to write Tears in Heaven.
Excellent Song.
INDLIS A ritual Satanic sacrifice probably. God I hope I'm wrong.
@@Katya_Lastochka bullshit
@@Katya_Lastochka you’re wrong
She must have been a helluva woman to inspire THREE classic rock songs... for sure.
What a unique destiny to be a Muse for these 2 great musicians ! I read her book and found her very sincere
Pattie Boyd damn well deserved the title of Queen of Rock. She was extremely beautiful, and you’d have to be the Queen when you inspire songs like Layla (one of the greatest rockers of all time) and Something (the greatest love song of all time)
Glad we got to visit London a couple weeks ago, Royal Albert Hall and so much more...a real treat....too bad we can't see Henley on Thames, the Friar Park home of George and Olivia and Dhani...maybe some time
'Something' According to Sinatra the Greatest Love song Ever wrote . . . .
i agree with sinatra
Except the credited John and Paul for writing it ! Oops ! LOL
ever written numb-skull
Very interesting story! I'm glad I took the time to watch it!
she is wonderful today as it was in the 60s ...Layla i still love you and i will love you forever!
She inspired so much great music!
Pattie is a wonderful woman....and how lucky to have these songs written about her. Once in a life time!!!
08:15... George! He will be love of my life. 😊 patty and George both were Pisces ♓ that only explains evrything 😍
Do you know the song at 3.34?
This was way nicer than I imagined it would be.
What a beautiful Woman Patti is. I can understand how she captured the hearts of these 2 Rock Legends.
That part at the end about George made me cry. I love her so much 3
Pattie Boyd: 1 beautiful woman
2 rockstar lovers
3 hit songs
yeh lets get it right, she was stunningly beautiful, absolutley stunning.
Layla is so beautiful I can see why Patti felt the way she did. Patti also seems very humble and unaffected.
Wow...listening to the words from Layla all these years, it's amazing how powerful his love for Layla was!!
And amazing how that song became an anthem for a long time in America...
So happy I was a teen when it was popular, it was a great time in music and my life !
If I remember right in one of his interview.Eric said he didn't think it was love,but obsession he had.Also in one of George interview,he said he already knew that Eric had feelings for Pattie.Pattie said at one time she left George cause of his drug addiction.So we really don't know who to believe!
George Harrison did NOT do the greatest music of his career with the Beatles. Something and Here Comes the Sun started it off but his greatest music was surely in the early 1970s.
Wow 3 amazing songs written for this lovely woman !
And all I had to worry about was buying a pair of tight jeans and going on a a motor bike with a fella called Razor, at the age 16 and being humiliated by my Mum chasing us in her car, when we stopped, she beat 9 bells out of me, needless to say I never saw Razor again. What has this to do with Patty Boyd, absolutely nothing, just thought I would talk about me - Well Fame has always eluded me so just thought I find a little niche - LMAO
This is awesome! So hilarious! I'm cracking up!
(Wonderful tonight )always seemed to play when I was dressing for a night out with my husband at the time.I felt like it was written for me.PattieThank you for being the inspiration for the song.
She's gorgeous and so very charming.
I read the book and I really enjoyed it. George was always my FAVE Beatle and I was a little jealous of Patti. But boy what a Woman. Very brave and Beautiful
I can believe that George really was the love of her life. Olivia Harrison has said that George had a tremendous affect on women. She said even a few words from him directed at you as a woman would stick with you forever. I am however glad in the petty side of me that George did get Eric back. He had a weekend affair in 1991 with Eric’s wife in Japan around the time they did a concert there together ... she has said that he was tremendously tender even though they had sex the whole weekend they talked as well and he was incredibly kind and held her as she cried about how Eric was icing her out since their sons death.. She also answered his questions and listened to him as he shared how he felt about the whole Patti/Eric thing which really affected him more than he led on this woman never forgot that weekend and has said it was one of the most passionate and tender times of her life which further proves Olivias point. He was an amazing man and according to other stories as well a very attentive and wonderful lover.
Patti is still just as beautiful.
She is so cute and lived an amazing, interesting life
I saw her in person in 1975 and she was quite beautiful. She was with Clapton at the time.
