On 7 September 1976, Clapton wrote "Wonderful Tonight" for Boyd while waiting for her to get ready to attend Paul and Linda McCartney's annual Buddy Holly party. The song is mentioned in her autobiographical book Wonderful Today.. Love your reaction.. Greetings from Norway. 😀
Behind the Song Clapton penned “Wonderful Tonight” in 1976 while waiting for his then-girlfriend Boyd to get ready for a night out. The pair were heading to Paul and Linda McCartney’s annual tribute to Buddy Holly. Boyd told The Guardian in 2008 that Clapton was “sitting around playing his guitar while I was trying on dresses upstairs.” “I was taking so long, and I was panicking about my hair, my clothes, everything, and I came downstairs expecting him to really berate me,” she continued. “But he said, ‘Listen to this!'”. He then began to sing the opening line It’s late in the evening / She’s wondering what clothes to wear / She puts on her makeup / And brushes her long blonde hair / And then she asks me, “Do I look alright?” And I say, “Yes, you look wonderful tonight. Clapton and Boyd went on to marry on March 27, 1979. Their nuptials came a day after the rock legend brought Boyd on stage to sing “Wonderful Tonight” to her at his concert in Tucson, Arizona Boyd was originally married to Clapton’s friend and ex-Beatle George Harrison. They were together until the late ’70s, at which point their relationship began to crumble reportedly due to Harrison’s infidelity. Their divorce was finalized in 1977. While Boyd and Harrison were still married, Clapton admired her from afar by writing covert love songs to her like “Layla.” The song was based on the 12th-century poem, The Story of Layla and Majnun. Being about a man who cannot marry the girl he loves, the plotline followed Clapton’s plight closely While separated from Harrison, Boyd and Clapton began dating. They were married for a decade, but their relationship began to falter as well, ending in divorce in 1989. “Well, I was no longer Mrs. Famous George or Mrs. Famous Eric, so who am I? I am no one,” Boyd remarked to The Telegraph earlier this year. “No one knows me-I don’t even know me. I was at a critical point in my life, and so I saw a psychotherapist who was quite wonderful. She was amazing. She guided me out of this mire of despond and gradually I learned to believe in myself… 👍🏻😁🏴

Not an everyday fan of Eric but had several songs he wrote that he put his heart into that are beyond good, this is one but not my favourite version, Tears In Heaven is another. His MTV Unplugged album is up there with best Albums ever.
A classic ballad in its own right. Thanks for the reaction An interesting B-Side song you might like would be - *Kiss - Beth ( LIve )* A departure from their usual glam-rock stuff
I LOVED this one back in the day! I'd love to react to it, I don't recall if I ever saw a video for it or not. I'm trying to only react to songs I don't know, but it's so tempting!!! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@REACTIONDIARIES Kiss - Beth (Live) is the title of a clip in TH-cam - you may have to forward it through some of the intro, because it's about 3 or 4 minutes long 😀
Funny he was moved by his wife getting ready for a Buddy Holly party at Paul Mccarthy's house is the inspiration for this song. Guess your talking about his affair with George Harrison's wife Patti Boyd he actually married her for like 10 yrs till he caught her cheating with Tom Petty
Crazy? How about ridiculous! Cheating with Tom Petty? LMAO, insane! They divorced for many reasons, a big one waa him havimg a son with an Italian model while they were married!!
For this channel what about Bob Welch sentimental lady ? Problably a good fit. Oh your audio maybe having mic to close to speaker causes echoe sometimes

As always a great reaction to a beautiful song young lady. I take it you were talking about Patti Boyd, George Harrisons wife who he later married, I lady who has had more songs written about or to her then anybody else, like "LAYLA", "SOMETHING" by the Beatles and "HAVE YOU EVER LOVED A WOMAN" I hope you will consider the song below, a live performance by the guitar hero Jeff Beck and featuring Imogen Heap called "BLANKET" th-cam.com/video/z79pgPn357g/w-d-xo.html

Great choice. I had not seen this version. The singer towards the end was terrific. That really added to the beauty of this song.

Layla was about her , and George Harrison wrote Something for her , 3 great songs inspired by one woman.
