Back when “Eric was Derek” as the saying goes. Eric Clapton was madly in love with George Harrison’s wife and Eric wrote this song about her. Eric singing and playing guitar with the legendary Duane Allman asked to play slide guitar.
This song takes me back to a proud mom moment. When my daughter was 11 (she's 33 now) her dad got her a cell phone (that's a whole other story for another time). I heard her phones ringtone. It was Layla! I asked her, "Whatchu know 'bout that?" My 11 year old began to "school" me! "MOM!! This is Derek and the Domino's! But it can be confusing because no one in the group is named Derek! Eric Clapton is the singer!" I just responded, "You don't say!" and turned around, smiling and thinking, "YES! That's my girl!"
Theank you for sharing this story with us! My 4 years old daughter does the horns sign for saluting me, headbangs with Iron Maiden and knows the chorus of Asia's 'Heat of the moment' (we're not native English speakers). Proud to know we keep the flame burning!
Saw this song and had to click! Derek and the Dominoes was actually Eric Clapton, Duane Allman and some other incredible musicians. They only put out this album, but what an album!
This band was Eric Clapton-guitar Bobby Whitlock- organ Carl Radle-bass Jim Gordon-drums After the first 3 songs recorded, Duane Allman played with the band for the rest of the album. Some tracks I like best are: Anyday; Bell Bottom Blues; Keep on Growing; the rest of them. The whole thing. Pick any tune and hear a masterpiece.
Eric is one of the all time greats, He an incredible singer, writer and legendary guitar player, also known as “Slow hand” he is literally a living legend!!!👍🎵🎼👌✌️😎
It's actually "Eric" (Clapton) singing; this song is about Patti Boyd, George Harrison's wife who Eric had a love affair with. There is a short and a long version of this song.
Lead singer Eric Clapton slide guitar guitar Duane Allman from The Allman Brothers. This is the only collaboration the band ever did together. The song Layla is about George Harrison's wife. Eric Clapton was in love with her. Great song great music great rock and roll.
Not Derek, but Eric Clapton, guitarist extraordinaire & badass vocalist! He wrote "Layla" about Beatle George Harrison's wife, Patti Boyd! Clapton stole his friend's wife AND married her! They later divorced; but, the music has stood the test of time! Eric Clapton was also with both The Yardbirds and Cream! His solo career has been incredibly successful! EC is THE ONLY PERSON inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 3 times!!! You should stay on the Clapton train & enjoy the ride for a very long time! Check out the album Journeyman for some great jams! Cream's "White Room/Sunshine of Your Love" is amazing! "Badge" & "Pretending" are so damn good! When Clapton is playing/singing, you know it's great! Derek & the Dominos "Bell-Bottom Blues" is very sweet! I've seen Eric "Slow Hand" Clapton in concert 5 times & in 3 different cities over the years! Each one was an incredible experience! Just pick an album & get carried away! Peace, love and stay safe! 🔥🤘
Clapton was already a solo artist before Layla and continued being so afterwards. The name of the banda was a puntual charade to try and escape the Fame that chased Clapton
Layla is generally considered the best song on this album, which incidentally was the only album they ever recorded together as a band because Duane Allman (great guitarist) tragically died young (25) in a motorcycle accident shortly after this album was recorded, and BTW Eric Clapton was the lead singer. Anyway, this song is considered a classic, but IMO the best song on this album is "BELL BOTTOM BLUES". You should check it out.
Layla live is pure magic. Bell Bottom Blues verrry close second My husband saw them perform this album Leeds University Uk October 1970 We met Christmas when I was sixteen and been together ever since. I was a complete Eric fan from the mid sixties But this was spellbinding. We see Eric and his many bands every opportunity ( hopefully May this year) Sometimes been twice in a week, fabulous concerts everyone of em What about Cocaine, White Room and Motherless Child and of course She’s Waiting After Royal Albert Hall London we were able to see Eric come out in his Porsche Like a 60 yo crazy I was jumping up and down Eric slowed down gives us a gorgeous wave and smile as he went on his way Bobby Whitlock doesn’t always get the recognition he deserves writing the songs on this album Seen many Clapton concerts over the years and always wonderful Not many of them left from this era but he’s got to be the best after50+ years
Keep going w/ this album Layla & assorted love songs. Eric Clapton at his best on this album, he's singing & on guitar, Duane Allman on slide. Please listen to "bell bottom blues", "keep on growing", "nobody knows you when your down & out", "tell the truth", "have you ever loved a woman?", "Key to the Highway" & "any day". Thx.
This was probably the very first rock song I heard, that stuck with me. I was 4 years old. Music from the classic rock era is timeless; it's always gaining new listeners, and still being passed on from generation to generation. It's not going anywhere, anytime soon.
It's amazing to watch somebody hear the outtro to this song for the first time. Back in the day, our parents were always yelling at us to "turn off that noise!" when we were listening to our music. They couldn't say that when this was on.
I saw Eric Clapton/Derek & The Dominos play this live in Tampa FL, just months after the album dropped in 1970. All I can say is it was AMAZING. They nailed it live just as you hear in the recording. Duane Allman on slide guitar was killer, and Bobby Whitlock on piano killed it. Magical. This song is stuck in my soul, like Patty Boyd ("Layla") got stuck in Eric's soul. Thanks for sharing it. So glad you discovered and like it. 🙂
I love the amazement of young people just finding our old favourites We loved and lived by the music of our era and still get the same buzz now Try She’s Waiting Motherless Child ‘From The Cradle’
You've sampled the Allman Brothers, so you have a taste of Duane Allman. I don't think you've seen Cream yet, a three-piece 1960s supergroup, one of whom was Eric Clapton, lead guitarist for Derek & The Dominoes. Don't want to spoil, so won't tell you the other members, but they also fall into the rock legend category. My pick to introduce you to Cream is "Sunshine of Your Love." There are two great live versions, in 1968 and a 2005 reunion, but start with the studio so you know it struck us back in 1967. ruclips.net/video/y_u1eu6Lpds/видео.html Back in the day, I always heard the music before seeing it performed, which enhances the live show IMHO. Besides, the sound quality is superior from what live shows could bring you back then. That began changing in the mid'70s, and bands such as Rush, Kansas and Pink Floyd could give live performances that replicated complex studio arrangements. I know because I saw them all (like many of your other subscribers). Even met a few of them during my long-ago days in radio. Keep up the good work, hombre. Tripping into prog-rock is a blast.
WHO WOULD WANT THIS TO END.... Stay in the Rock and Roll Phase Forever!!! Eric clapton wrote this song for British model Patti Boyd, who was at the time married to George Harrison (lead guitarist for The Beatles and superstar in his own right (RIP) ) . Soon after she became his first wife. Interestingly, they Patti wrote an autobiography that came out at the exact same time as Eric Clapton"s autobiography!
So sad and such a talent. In Gregg Allman's autoibiography he talks about the young lead guitarist who eventually took Duane's place and how he is Duane come back to life in more ways than one
Man I could make a whole video about this song, being one of my favorite songs of all time. It's essentially known as an Eric Clapton song, not to take away from the others' contributions, especially guitarist Duane Allman who came up with the song's signature riff. The song was essentially written for Patti Boyd (wife of Beatle George Harrison) who Eric Clapton was head over heels in love with and confessed his love on this album. "Bell Bottom Blues" another standout, was written when Patti asked Eric to pick up some bell-bottom jeans for her in America. The whole Eric Clapton / George Harrison / Patti Boyd love triangle is one of the most famous in Rock history and it actually gets more and more messed up the more you read about it. Eric became a heroin junkie when Patti rejected him and gave up music for 3 years. The piano coda, which I first heard in GOODFELLAS, was written by drummer Jim Gordon (although it's alleged that he nicked it from then girlfriend Rita Coolidge). Gordon was schizophrenic and would later be put in an asylum for killing his mother. Bass player Carl Radle died from alcohol poisoning in 1980, and Duane Allman, at age 24, died in a motorcycle accident just a year after recording this gem. Even eerier, Allman Bros' bassist Berry Oakley ALSO died of a motorcyle accident at age 24 almost exactly 1 year after Duane. I think knowing all this information brings a completely different sense of melancholy to the song's final coda.
Speaking of George Harrison, I got a deeper cut for you, which is one of my all time favorite songs: BEWARE OF DARKNESS. Derek and the Dominos are featured as the backing group on that one, along with most of his iconic ALL THINGS MUST PASS album.
Your reaction is perfect!! Duane Allman (RIP) was one of the greatest guitarists of all time! His brother Gregg who has now passed wrote a stunning autobiography that you would really enjoy.. Im passing this onto someone who will get a big kick out of your reaction!
Eric Clapton is the lead singer and is the only 3-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Once as a solo artist, as a member of the Yardbirds, and with Cream. This song is a classic in the truest sence of the word. It is #3 on Rolling Stones' Top 500 Hits of the Rock and Roll era.
Eric ("Derrick") Clapton of "Cream" fame is singing and of course guitar. Excellent, but short era for this Band. Eric still going strong today at 75 yrs. old I think. He's a true legend in Rock. One of the greats. "Derrick" is sort of a joke and take off of his real name "Eric.
Bell Bottom Blues, I looked Away. Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad. Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs . Awesome album! Let It Rain (not from this album) also among Eric's best . IMO.
You know, we always called each other good fellas. Like you said to, uh, somebody, 'You're gonna like this guy. He's all right. He's a good fella. He's one of us.' You understand? We were good fellas. Wise guys. But Jimmy and I could never be made because we had Irish blood. It didn't even matter that my mother was Sicilian. To become a member of a crew you've got to be one hundred per cent Italian so they can trace all your relatives back to the old country. See, it's the highest honor they can give you. It means you belong to a family and crew. It means that nobody can fuck around with you. It also means you could fuck around with anybody just as long as they aren't also a member. It's like a license to steal. It's a license to do anything. As far as Jimmy was concerned with Tommy being made, it was like we were all being made. We would now have one of our own as a member.
You think the song can't get better but listen to Eric Clapton's Live version (126 million views) to fully appreciate it and Clapton's genius, it will blow your mind, takes it to a altogether new level.
Derek- aka- Eric Clapton.....oh yes Biz ....another goat level guitarist. Eddie Van Halen said Eric was a big influence on him. This track is about the stress in his personal life. You see, he fell in love with his best friends wife. Patty Harrison ( George Harrison’s wife)so he left England for the USA and made up an alias for himself and the band. The piano I believe is none other than Duane Allman.( Allman Brothers Band ) I hear pain,anger and sorrow on the front end and love on the back end of this track. There’s an instrumental track called Peaches and Diesel.... written waiting on a tire change on the roadside somewhere in Georgia. All he saw were signs saying Peaches or Diesel...so he gave the song that title. Facts.🎼🎶🎹🎹🎹🎸🎸🎸🎤😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Slowhand and Skydog were entering the studio returning from a lunch break. They walked past one studio and a guy known as Sam The Sham was playing the old Big Bill Broonzy song - Key to The Highway. Eric and Duane walked in their studio and began playing the same song. The producer Tom Dowd walked into the control room and yelled start the tape rolling. That's why that particular song has such a strange into. They missed the intro. Play that song. It's a great rendition of that old song.
This is my favourite song of all time. Eric Clapton is GOD. Even the drawing on the album cover is a caricature of Pattie Boyd - Eric's prospective love. This is only one of 6 or more songs in honour of Pattie Boyd.
Back in the 70s, there was aa annual poll conducted as to what album you’d what if on a desert island and you could only have one. The Layla album won the poll many years in a row. Check out the blues classics on that album: Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out and Key to the Highway. Great jams caught on tape.
That's the great Eric Clapton, decades of great music in bands like this and Cream, even more as a solo artist. Written about Patti Boyd, wife of The Beatles' George Harrison, who eventually left George for Eric. The acoustic version from MTV's Unplugged is a revelation.
Yeeeessss ... cool azzz Eric Clapton 😎 nice review 🔥🔥🔥 Maybe check out Wonderful Tonight and/or Cocaine ... Clapton performed with several different groups ... he was just too cool for one band 😉😂 Oh, and I do have another group that I would like for you to check out ... Heart (don’t let the name trick you 😉😂) a few songs to get you started: Magic Man, Barracuda, Straight On, Crazy On You ..... let me stop ... I don’t want to give away too much, but I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned them before!!! 🤦♀️ Definitely in my top 5 of all time ... maybe even top 3 🤔😎 Okay, that’s enough for tonight (from me anyway 🤷♀️😂) I’m kinda all over the place ain’t I???? 😂 I’m out fr fr this time!!! 🤘💞
Eric Clapton,lead vocals, guitar is the only artist to be inducted three times into the rock roll Hall of Fame. Once as solo artist,once with the yard birds,and then with cream .🇨🇦😷
Eric Clapton,Duane Allman,Charlie Watts(Rolling Stones drummer),and others. Charlie played drums in the 1984 live show,that is on here.:: ruclips.net/video/Sb1qpuQoMxo/видео.html

Patti Boyd. Gorgeous.

They have another song called “Bell Bottom Blues”, it’s nothing short of amazing.
Don't make me cry.
Saw this song and had to click! Derek and the Dominoes was actually Eric Clapton, Duane Allman and some other incredible musicians. They only put out this album, but what an album!
Including Charlie Watts(Rolling Stones drummer) on drums.
Duane Allman on Slide guitar.
Man is a geniys
❤️
This band was
Eric Clapton-guitar
Bobby Whitlock- organ
Carl Radle-bass
Jim Gordon-drums
After the first 3 songs recorded, Duane Allman played with the band for the rest of the album.
Some tracks I like best are: Anyday; Bell Bottom Blues; Keep on Growing; the rest of them. The whole thing. Pick any tune and hear a masterpiece.
Jim Gordon developed schizophrenia and murdered his mother in 1983 he has been institutionalized since 1984. Very sad.
@@tommccafferty5591 wow...
Derek & the Dominoes is just one episode in the evolution of Eric Clapton.
When they found Carbone in the meat locker, it took them 3 days to thaw him out for the autopsy
Every time I hear the bridge I see him frozen in there.
Eric Clapton is the only person to be inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 3 times.
Eric is one of the all time greats, He an incredible singer, writer and legendary guitar player, also known as “Slow hand” he is literally a living legend!!!👍🎵🎼👌✌️😎
It's actually "Eric" (Clapton) singing; this song is about Patti Boyd, George Harrison's wife who Eric had a love affair with. There is a short and a long version of this song.
Just when you thought Duane couldn't go any Higher on slide guitar, he would go a Little Higher.
That's why they called him "Sky Dog"
Duane Allman wailing on that intro and throughout this song takes it up many notches !!!! Bell Bottom Blues please!👍✌
Lead singer Eric Clapton slide guitar guitar Duane Allman from The Allman Brothers. This is the only collaboration the band ever did together. The song Layla is about George Harrison's wife. Eric Clapton was in love with her. Great song great music great rock and roll.
he eventually married her too
Not Derek, but Eric Clapton, guitarist extraordinaire & badass vocalist! He wrote "Layla" about Beatle George Harrison's wife, Patti Boyd! Clapton stole his friend's wife AND married her! They later divorced; but, the music has stood the test of time! Eric Clapton was also with both The Yardbirds and Cream! His solo career has been incredibly successful!

None better!
You should check out Bobby Whitlock vids on here telling about the Dominos experiences, quite fascinating.
I have always been a fan of derek and the dominos "Bell Bottom Blues"
They were a one album wonder. Eric Clapton went solo afterwards, and Duane Allman formed the Allman Brothers.
Actually the Brothers were already formed and Clapton asked him to stay with Derek and the dominoes..thank God he said no thanks!
Clapton was already a solo artist before Layla and continued being so afterwards. The name of the banda was a puntual charade to try and escape the Fame that chased Clapton
Seriously true ....”Dude” EC”was asked back in 80’s what it was like to be the greatest guitar player of all time ?
He replied “Ask Prince”
Layla is generally considered the best song on this album, which incidentally was the only album they ever recorded together as a band because Duane Allman (great guitarist) tragically died young (25) in a motorcycle accident shortly after this album was recorded, and BTW Eric Clapton was the lead singer. Anyway, this song is considered a classic, but IMO the best song on this album is "BELL BOTTOM BLUES". You should check it out.
Layla live is pure magic. Bell Bottom Blues verrry close second
My husband saw them perform this album Leeds University Uk October 1970
We met Christmas when I was sixteen and been together ever since. I was a complete Eric fan from the mid sixties
But this was spellbinding. We see Eric and his many bands every opportunity ( hopefully May this year)
Sometimes been twice in a week, fabulous concerts everyone of em
What about Cocaine, White Room and Motherless Child and of course She’s Waiting
After Royal Albert Hall London we were able to see Eric come out in his Porsche
Like a 60 yo crazy I was jumping up and down
Eric slowed down gives us a gorgeous wave and smile as he went on his way
Bobby Whitlock doesn’t always get the recognition he deserves writing the songs on this album
Seen many Clapton concerts over the years and always wonderful
Not many of them left from this era but he’s got to be the best after50+ years
Keep going w/ this album Layla & assorted love songs. Eric Clapton at his best on this album, he's singing & on guitar, Duane Allman on slide. Please listen to "bell bottom blues", "keep on growing", "nobody knows you when your down & out", "tell the truth", "have you ever loved a woman?", "Key to the Highway" & "any day". Thx.
That long "ending" you may remember from the movie, Goodfellas.
This was probably the very first rock song I heard, that stuck with me. I was 4 years old. Music from the classic rock era is timeless; it's always gaining new listeners, and still being passed on from generation to generation. It's not going anywhere, anytime soon.

The whole album is great front to back. Bell bottom blues, little wing the Jimi Hendrix classic on and on.
I saw Eric Clapton/Derek & The Dominos play this live in Tampa FL, just months after the album dropped in 1970. All I can say is it was AMAZING. They nailed it live just as you hear in the recording.

So glad you discovered and like it. 🙂
Right out of the box it hits you no warning no nothing just bam. Check out the acoustic Layla by Eric Clapton it's so great.
I love the amazement of young people just finding our old favourites
We loved and lived by the music of our era and still get the same buzz now
Try She’s Waiting
Motherless Child ‘From The Cradle’

A personal top 5 song of all time.
Only a true passionate love can inspire a song like this.
True that to your stand up reaction. Keep on, young gentleman.
This features Duane Allman, who passed at only 24. You should check out The Allman Brothers Band. A phenomenal rabbit hole!
So sad and such a talent. In Gregg Allman's autoibiography he talks about the young lead guitarist who eventually took Duane's place and how he is Duane come back to life in more ways than one
Eric Clapton. Also in the band Cream. Check them out
Another vote for "Bell Bottom Blues". Great reaction.
Man I could make a whole video about this song, being one of my favorite songs of all time.

Speaking of George Harrison, I got a deeper cut for you, which is one of my all time favorite songs:
BEWARE OF DARKNESS.
Derek and the Dominos are featured as the backing group on that one, along with most of his iconic ALL THINGS MUST PASS album.
Thing is,Patty didnt want to end her marriage to George,but Eric was so insanely insistant that she gave in.
Your reaction is perfect!! Duane Allman (RIP) was one of the greatest guitarists of all time! His brother Gregg who has now passed wrote a stunning autobiography that you would really enjoy.. Im passing this onto someone who will get a big kick out of your reaction!
Two of my favorite guitarists! Eric n Duane. The first record I ever bought with my own money! It was a 45rpm! ❤
Eric Clapton is the lead singer and is the only 3-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Once as a solo artist, as a member of the Yardbirds, and with Cream. This song is a classic in the truest sence of the word. It is #3 on Rolling Stones' Top 500 Hits of the Rock and Roll era.

Bell Bottom Blues, I looked Away. Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad.
Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs . Awesome album!
Let It Rain (not from this album) also among Eric's best . IMO.
Do "Goin Down" live in 1989 by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Beck. mind-blowing jam
Every time I hear the second half this song I feel the urge to break into a narrative about the fates of past friends and associates.
That's Eric Clapton singing...Duane Allman on slide guitar...
During the 60s there were 'Clapton is God' graffittis on London tube's walls!!!
Eric Clapton is the reason I picked up guitar 11 years ago.. He's Derek in Derek and the Dominoes by the way ✌️👍
Agree with other people- bell bottom blues is a beautiful song. Love your reactions and just subscribed ❤️
Love this one!
You know, we always called each other good fellas. Like you said to, uh, somebody, 'You're gonna like this guy. He's all right. He's a good fella. He's one of us.' You understand? We were good fellas. Wise guys. But Jimmy and I could never be made because we had Irish blood. It didn't even matter that my mother was Sicilian. To become a member of a crew you've got to be one hundred per cent Italian so they can trace all your relatives back to the old country. See, it's the highest honor they can give you. It means you belong to a family and crew. It means that nobody can fuck around with you. It also means you could fuck around with anybody just as long as they aren't also a member. It's like a license to steal. It's a license to do anything. As far as Jimmy was concerned with Tommy being made, it was like we were all being made. We would now have one of our own as a member.
Do more Eric Clapton, you won’t regret it!
You think the song can't get better but listen to Eric Clapton's Live version (126 million views) to fully appreciate it and Clapton's genius, it will blow your mind, takes it to a altogether new level.
Absolute FACTZ! 🔥🤘
Should also listen to the "unplugged" acoustic version
It's not the same.
your better off checking out the Allman Brothers if you want more of that music (few of the same members)
Bell bottom blues my fave !
Love your backdrop, blue cinderblocks. Americana.
5:51 this part is in one of my favorite movies, Goodfellas
Mr. Clapton is the Man of the 🎸 .
oh and by the way, it's a cardinal sin to stop this song before the bird chirps at the end. Just sayin'.
Fucking DJs step on it all the time
Derek- aka- Eric Clapton.....oh yes Biz ....another goat level guitarist. Eddie Van Halen said Eric was a big influence on him. This track is about the stress in his personal life. You see, he fell in love with his best friends wife. Patty Harrison ( George Harrison’s wife)so he left England for the USA and made up an alias for himself and the band. The piano I believe is none other than Duane Allman.( Allman Brothers Band ) I hear pain,anger and sorrow on the front end and love on the back end of this track.
There’s an instrumental track called Peaches and Diesel.... written waiting on a tire change on the roadside somewhere in Georgia. All he saw were signs saying Peaches or Diesel...so he gave the song that title. Facts.🎼🎶🎹🎹🎹🎸🎸🎸🎤😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Slowhand and Skydog were entering the studio returning from a lunch break. They walked past one studio and a guy known as Sam The Sham was playing the old Big Bill Broonzy song - Key to The Highway. Eric and Duane walked in their studio and began playing the same song. The producer Tom Dowd walked into the control room and yelled start the tape rolling. That's why that particular song has such a strange into. They missed the intro. Play that song. It's a great rendition of that old song.
This is my favourite song of all time. Eric Clapton is GOD.
Even the drawing on the album cover is a caricature of Pattie Boyd - Eric's prospective love.
This is only one of 6 or more songs in honour of Pattie Boyd.
Back in the 70s, there was aa annual poll conducted as to what album you’d what if on a desert island and you could only have one. The Layla album won the poll many years in a row.
Check out the blues classics on that album: Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out and Key to the Highway. Great jams caught on tape.
What A Man!!
SLOW HAND and SKY DOG =guitar magic.
Check out Bell Bottom Blues
Pattie Boyd cried when she first heard it - wouldn't you? The album cover is nice image of her. There were 3 or 4 hits written about her.
Duane (Allman) + Eric (Clapton) = Derek
That's the great Eric Clapton, decades of great music in bands like this and Cream, even more as a solo artist. Written about Patti Boyd, wife of The Beatles' George Harrison, who eventually left George for Eric. The acoustic version from MTV's Unplugged is a revelation.
Fun fact: The piano solo was written and performed by Jim Gordon, a well-know session drummer.
Wait? You've never seen Goodfellas? (This song is prominently featured.) If you haven't, you'd better get on that pronto.
Eric Clapton did lead guitar and vocals
Killer!!! Clapton magic.

Eric Clapton Duanne Allman guitar
Duane played the riff on this song not Eric. Duane was an Allman before and after this song!!
No he did not. It is EC on the sunburst strat. Duane was playing a Les Paul. Sound is unmistakable. Where did you get this nonsense, QAnon?
bell bottom blues..just as good..
NEAJ! CLAPTON!
LEGEND
Bell Bottom Blues.
Watch the video of his live performance when you get a chance, its *awesome,* unforgetable.
