Rock legend - 50th anniversary of Layla

[michelew]

Hi all,

I read this great article today about Eric Clapton’s relationship with Duane Allman, Derek and the Dominos and Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. Today is the 50th anniversary of the album.

Apparently, Eric Clapton's song Layla was supposed to win back his love, but ...

The story is interesting and I thought some of you might enjoy it if you haven’t read it already.

One of rock's most famous love triangles gave birth to a 'cursed' classic

It was midsummer 1970 and Eric Clapton was heartbroken, flirting with a heroin addiction and at a crucial crossroad, writes Mark Bannerman.

Enjoy.

That was a great read!

Tragic, and sad though....

Admittedly, i've never liked the song, but the story was very interesting.

Thanks Shel!
