Such a sad story. At least she realised that George was a better husband than Eric but the whole story is dreadful. Those crazy psychedelic drug/drink fuelled sixties/seventies have got a lot to answer for.
George was only incrementally a better husband. A spouse constantly cheating is no picnic to live with. He's addicted to variety and is not going to stop until he's dead. This is the demoralizing downside of involvement with a rich, famous, desirable man, and no woman is ever prepared for this aspect of daily life with such a man.
Fools alright! Patti just wanted to be a good wife with strong hopes to become a mother. Could it be karma? - Eric’s son passes away tragically & George is stabbed in the chest by an intruder in 1999, then dies (of cancer) in 2001. hmmm 🤔 So glad Patti has found happiness and a good life for herself ❤
@@sandrahatherley2184 very, very sad to say that faithfulness is rare to find, in my life even at age of 67, my wife 66 now, l still pray to God that he enable us, to love one another, to care for one another, honour one another, and l see that in my relationship it's God goodness and mercy for us. May God bless you too, he is only a prayer away from us we'll keep asking for his blessings upon us ....
I did! My husband recently passed away after 41years of marriage. He had a TBI and a broken neck. He was in the hospital for 360 days. We were married since we were 17....I miss him terribly. 😢 and he was my life. I would still be married- if he was here..I would give up anything to have him back. I know I will never have a man like him again! I am not open to dating. I am going to be a cat mom...RIP baby!! Til I see you again ❤❤.....it's not always easy, but it was always right!! Atleast for me. I didn't have a cheating rat...but a soul mate, once in a lifetime love.
@@Debra-k1f Being followers of Christ we have a hope to meet our love ones someday...and most of all to see our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who saves us from sin and condemnation, being in Christ is an eternal hope that last forever 🙏🙏
And, us girls thought she was so lucky! How hurtful they both were to her. I want to give her a hug. Having been used and abused by narcissistic men, I can relate.
That’s why I don’t bother to know about The Beatles’s personal lives. I admire them for their musical talents and the happiness they gave their fans❤❤❤Beatles 4 Ever
I don't know him him personally. But I always assumed George was the more down to earth Beatle. It's also sad if Eric turned out to not be who she thought he was after begging her to go with him.
YES!.. narcissistic misogynistic men... all the damage they do! the pain and the Soros the time they have stolen. It will catch up to them karma is a b****... in this life or the next.
I am stunned at how George treated Patty. Also, George and Maureen Starr? WOW ! Talk about betrayal. I read that when Patty was Finally finished with Eric, Patty had no money. That is when George paid Patty's rent for an apartment as long as she lived there. That is the least he could have done for her. I am glad Patty is finally doing well. I read that Patty attended Connor"s funeral. I also read that Eric said in an interview that as soon as Eric had Patty, he did not want her anymore. It was the pursuit that fed his feelings for Patty.
What a rude hostile thing for Eric to say in an interview. I’m just guessing that he didn’t feel confident that she’d stay with him once she really knew him and wanted to be the one to leave first.
The fact that he only married her to win a bet says it all! What a jerk. And what a jerk George was to cheat with Ringo's wife! My opion of George and Eric has changed. Especially Eric! I recently read where Eric had Jimmy Hendricks join him on stage and left in a rage and outside the venue he screamed at the person who set it up that he didn't know Jimmy was THAT GOOD. Talk about insecurities.! He got her when she was depressed over how George was treating her and then threw her away. She should get royalties from the songs she inspired!
When ever I have a friend or relative who is in a bad relationship, I always give them this quote by Maya Angelou. "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." Everyone needs to be taught this from an early age. Don't spend the best part of your life trying to fix a broken person. Go have a good life. I have read Patty's books and seen her do some interviews. Isn't it amazing how when she left this rotten men, (rich men) They didn't make sure she had money and a place to live. I hope she has has lots of happiness now. Everyone deserves to be happy.
@@lisakaz35.... I believe it was Etic who signed over ownership of a cottage to her. I would have hired top notch lawyers and skewered the bastard. Clapton is a moral degenerate. I still can't wrap my head around how he manipulated Pattie into marrying him. OMG
It's a beautiful statement and thought...but I don't understand. Believe them the first time?? I have believed when I thought someone showed me who they were 'the first time.' All I learnt was that I was gullible and stupid!
😂 it does seem rather excess in the emotional pain department. I suppose I figured George was always womanizing, but that was definitely true, and that would be very hard to deal with for Patti. 😢
I can’t understand how anyone would repeatedly put up with so much betrayal. Pattie’s youth was wasted on men who didn’t deserve her. Jane Asher showed how betrayal should be treated. All’s well that ended well though. She found someone worthy of her in the end.
@@savannahsmiles1797 according to the timeline for that possibility, Jane kept up the ruse for a little while but was aware her Paul had died. The breakup was inevitable but she was gracious enough to not time it too closely to Paul's passing. Billy Shears (William Shepherd) was then free to publicly marry the woman he had met and fallen in love with, Linda. Personally, if this is how it all went down, I don't think Billy is the bad guy, as wonderful as Paul was. Billy Shears has given us a lot of great music. But I don't know what to really believe at this point. I can see either (just a crazy conspiracy theory or the greatest switcheroo EVER) as being possible. There sure are a lot of people comfortable with addressing Sir Paul McCartney as "Billy."
Fun fact back in 1971 my uncle saw Pattie walking down a street smoking and asked Pattie if he could shake her hand and she said "of course sir" and grabbed his hand, she had good manners he asked her out and she said yes altough she was married to George, and after the "date" he said that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and that he was a virgin and Pattie said that she hadnt had sex for a long time and she followed him to his hotel room and they had s**, then they went for a walk he said that she smoked like a chimney, and right before she got into her car he thanked her for taking away his virginity and kissed her mouth, she smiled and said "you are bigger than george" and laughed i wonder if she wouldve remembered him if he wrote to her "back in 1971 you took away my virginity" lol
I’m a fan of he Beatles and Eric, but geez Louise, these guys are freaking insane!! Patti hung around much longer than anyone should have!! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
J Lennon was apparently wickedly jealous regarding Yoko. The reason she seemed to be around all the time was so that he could keep an eye on her due to his insecurity.
@@Mrch33ky To say nothing of him punching out his rival who later died of aneurysm. (Feel free to document the actual facts, because I can’t recall them).
Despite being beautiful and living an unbelievably glamorous lifestyle, she had such a sad life. I’m so glad she’s happily married and hopefully content now

Such name calling here it's not like these are the first people that fell in love with their friends boyfriend /girlfriend or husband/ wife come on now
There's "love" that's really just physical attraction and lust, and there's LOVE which is truly caring about each other on every level. THAT kind of love seems to naturally desire commitment and fidelity. A pure, unselfish love IS the most powerful force in existence.

Left out of the video was the fact that when Patty divorced Eric, she could not find a lawyer who wasn't in awe of Eric leaving her to pretty much fend for herself financially. Today, there would be tons of lawyers willing to take him to the cleaners!!
That was Jim Gordon, Eric’s drummer who pinched it from her. Eric and Tom Dowd didn’t want it in and Bobby Whitlock their keyboardist didn’t play it,the drummer Jim Gordon did
I don't agree with you. She knew what she was doing. She wanted the Money and Fame that went with it. He should have sued her for Sleeping around. Sleeping with his best friend E Clapton and ????????😢😢😢😢😢. I'm sure that she didn't turn down George's divorce settlement, or that of E Clapton 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@OldiesMomma NADA she should have sued George for being an arse. The guy had millions. And if want orgies she deserved him paying for ruining her life, then turn around and do the same to Eric for being a liar, abusive and scummy. She should be compensated for them both being dogs.
@@Amarylis185 I tend to agree with you. Is it fair judge so harshly OldiesMomma? George is gone years ,and EC is older and hopefully has changed I loved their music but no thanks to the insane life style!
She has such a beautiful speaking voice, very soothing and calm. A lot like George ironically. So sad hearing how badly they treated her yet their songs are so soulful.
The problem is Jesus Christ was not a thought in their lives. The Beatles mocked The Lord Jesus Christ. They were into cults ,drugs and immorality. No good can come of that.
@Bradydog-in7ut She was much more discreet during her marriage to George as no Beatle would've wanted THAT in the news. But Ronnie Wood wrote about wife swapping with George several times at the mansion (Friar Park) in his book "Wood". It wasn't a one-time thing. When George was becoming unnattentive to Pattie he would stay home (his preference) and she would go out clubbing/dancing.
This was very enlightening. I had no idea exactly what Pattie went through. I am glad she grew into a stronger individual and left those two men behind.
I had always thought that George Harrison was a shy and lovely man. Lately I found out so much about him making me believe he was a gifted musician but a not very clever egomaniac. We all heard about the rotten lifestyle Erich Clapton had. It is amazing that he is still alive and has sobered up. This story prooves that does not matter how beautiful, intelligent and talented a person is, if your self esteem is to low you will be treated like shit. That has happened to me as well for nearly twenty years. Now fourty years later I can only shake my head remembering things I did swallow from others, mainly women.
Such true words. I hope God grants you the years back. Sometimes the trek is what was meant to be to gain the wisdom to move forward in a more positive direction that otherwise would have been.
@@Seaker24 I was extremely blessed for the last 35 years. I am happily married since then and I have two lovely kids that are both over thirty years old. And I know that if I would not have been going through a lot before I would not have been in the right place at the perfect time when I met my wife by sheer coincidence or rather the blessing of God. We got engaged and married within a few months. That was my blessing and probably my salvation. Since then I had so much luck that I feel nearly guilty how good my life has been for me for a very long time now.
I was always fascinated by Pattie after a friend of mine introduced me to Eric Claptons' music, and I learned of the story of the love triangle. I'm glad Pattie has found happiness at long last.
And I thought my life was complicated. I ❤ Patti Boyd. Not only does she have the sweetest face, but a personality to match. George and Eric threw away the best one ever. I'm so happy she finally met someone who can love and appreciate her. I wish her every success and happiness always. 🍃
I'm glad you love Patti. I love it when people admire others. She had her moments and did try to love these crazy awful men 😪. She was not treated well.
We all have our crosses to bear!I married my high school sweet heart but day of wedding he tells me he doesn't want to go thru with it.I couldn't believe it & said all my relatives traveled to be here etc.I finally said ok we can get it anulled.After word he is cold but I don't leave & he doesn't either 8 yrs later I find out all his secrets having sex with my girl friends & teens.Its never been boring after I left He died at 26
You are right.Beauty has very little to do with it.Raquel Welch's husband was asked what it was like to be married to such a beautiful woman.He replied after a little while she looks like the average woman.
Always the closest people that hurt us the most. My sister stole my father’s estate from me and my dear younger brother dropped me once he made his money. I take care of people with disabilities and never made more than 45k a year
@@loralieisa I don’t do it for the money, that’s for sure! I consider myself lucky never to fall for the temptation of money. I’ve know a few who were such good people suddenly change once they hit it financially.
@@elizabethkovala2887 it’s like “The Ring of Power” in Lord of the Rings. You think you’re going to do great things with you but it ends up corrupting and controlling you.
Both Eric and George are sadly a disappointment and disturbing for their disgusting behaviour. She sure deserved far far better, delighted she got to find an honourable man.
That she allowed herself to be abused like that …you’ve clearly never been in a physically violent relationship and I am so happy that you have not. That just struck me as a bit hurtful- we deal with A LOT IF SHAME AND GUILT AND SELFBLAME. For their behavior, for us not leaving fast enough, for not being smart enough- just keep that in mind in the future when discussing this. We really beat ourselves up emotionally inside about it. It’s a cycle. They break you down slowly, and over time. Tiny boundary crosses, slightly larger. More frequent …the love bomb love bombs loooovvvee bomb best ever- then they go in for the first big cross. And and are shocked. You can’t believe it. You think they can change. That they will. They tell you they will. It’s insane. I don’t wish it on anyone.
@@alexpriedite1447 we cannot judge what was happening then with our to-day eyes. It was then trendy and courageous to disobey the traditional morale. Fidelity was something from dark ages that had to be trampled upon. One had to be living in the early 70's to understand that this was not meant to be abusive but bold in a way. I didn't read the book, but if she's using the new bigot standards of to-day to lament on her life in the early 70's it is not fair. I'm not saying infidelity is right, I'm just saying it wasn't experienced with the same angle just after the hippy movement.
What a strong woman she is. So much pain. I wish I knew how she was able to move beyond that. I don’t know how she forgave such deep and painful betrayals. Amazing woman.
I don't know that she was particularly "strong" staying round men who cheated on her, and humiliated her. She should have followed Jane Asher's example, but I don't think Pattie's early life gave her the self confidence and self worth that Asher had. She doesn't seem to have had the support of her family like Asher enjoyed, and of course Asher had a career as well to fall back on, while I believe George discouraged Pattie's modelling.
@@michelez715 You assume what I mean when I describe her as “strong”. She is, in my opinion, strong in the context of her ability to forgive, as it relates to human relationships; not as it relates to moving on in the midst of drug abuse and being successful in a career, although those are admirable choices as well. I just think the capacity to forgive that deeply is something I couldn’t do myself and which I greatly admire. I wish i could be like her in that respect. I live near Hollywood, and that business doesn’t impress me.
What strikes me is that these hippies had been lecturing the world on love & peace for over a decade, didnt know the first thing about it and couldnt see past their own egos.
George and Eric were 2 guys that just went from one woman to another .I doubt they were ever in love with anyone but themselves. I think Paul and Ringo may have found true love with Linda and Barbara. Patty had 3 good songs written about her but the feelings behind these songs were very temporary and quickly gone.
Those three songs, I feel, she would gladly give back in exchange for the children she wanted but couldn't have. While, of course, Eric had a least two children with different women during their marriage.
Ha de ser difícil convivir con estrellas de la música. Los hombres de por sí se dejan llevar por la gracia de las mujeres, cuánta tentación para estos músicos siempre rodeados por fans, algunas dispuestas a estar con ellos y ellos ... dejándose tentar. Definitivamente Clapton estaba roto, aunque su música fuera bella.
All these “peace and love” sixties rock icons are such monsters, in real life. Amazing story. A good friend of mine who plays drums in a band was super excited to meet Patty at a book signing, and have her picture taken together. I met Lennon’s old girl friend in NYC, May Pang. Super nice. She was used and tossed away like a Kleenex, from one day to the next! All these flower power generation guys abuse the heck out of their wives, other people’s wives, girlfriends, kids. But hey, peace and Love…
Great songwriters and musicians but not so great men. At least when they finally grew up and cleaned up they became better people. George remained friends with Patti until he died.
It will forever surprise me that people, men and or women, will take abuse or discontent from a person that professes to love them. It honestly makes no sense yet as a young woman I e done it too. I’m older now and consider marriage a game to most. Life isn’t meant to be “work” and we should only be with people that treat us and themselves with respect and appreciation. Why settle for less? And woman, find your own talents, skills, and careers without needing men for emotional and financial support. Ladies give up too much of themselves for men and it’s not reciprocated in most cases. My opinions
I so agree. I've had some dreadful relationships where I've hung on for far too long. The last one was with someone who had some narcissistic tendencies which left me with low self esteem for several years. Now I'm older I live with just my animals, by the sea and I potter about in my garden and read a lot. I am as free as one can be and I've never been happier.
@@lurdasramos I’m speaking in general terms not specific to the characters in this story. My intention isn’t to offend just stating my general thoughts on the subject matter
Aaah the free love era. We all thought we were having so much fun. Now that we look back on it, it wasn’t that much fun. It takes a toll on what it means to be being truly loved and independent. Glad those days are over and back to being a respectable person.
I missed this by a couple decades, but what I gained from the history of this era from first hand recollections, is that it was a terrible set of ideals, which seems extremely obvious. It seems like a lot of this hippie junk has returned recently with blue hair and the same type of insanely myopic perspective. Kids will be kids I guess. I just hope they stay off my lawn.
I read her book and I think she was a nice girl. She got involved too young with drugs, sex, and rock ‘n’ roll, & in my heart I believe that, witnessing what she saw with her parents marriage took a toll on her
And I thought Justine Timberlake was bad not allowing Britney to go to a hospital for her abortion, playing a guitar for her while Britney bleeds into the bathtub. They are all monsters.
reminds me of steven tyler. he bought girl from parents = pedo. gets her pregnanrt at 16. at almost full term... forces her to have abortion. who knows what happened to these babies & embryos. offerings. souless devils. literally. clapton's son/all sacrifice/s.daemons. just look at movie where george harrison plays merlin with vampire. narcissistic sociopathic psychopathic demonic possessions. love bomb, isolate, groom, once they have them, discard, hoover, repeat. using women. stealing their light. using them as muse, to breed, gaslight, devastate & destroy.
🇬🇧 Poor Pattie, I really hope that she is completely happy now. In 1966 I looked just like Pattie Boyde, ( as a friend told me only last week) , a very big difference though. Thankfully, I have led a very quiet and conventional life. No drugs, ( ever ) , no drink , no smoking, etc, being completely faithful to my late husband. I'm just so grateful to still be alive at nearly 78. Ps. I did wear extremely short mini skirts then, and I did live in Chelsea, just off the King's Road.
I remember when my ex husband was helping out with Richie Blackmore’s Rainbow. I know he was helping with audio at the time. We were invited to their concerts and I remember the groupies that would hang around. Jimmy Page’s name was always mentioned along with Keith Moon. To say that these crazy relationships were continuously circulated is understatement. I never cared about that groupie scene nor was I ever interested in trying to involve myself with someone who couldn’t stay monogamous. It’s just a very lonely way of life.
I am very well read on The Beatles and it's former members, as well as Eric Clapton. I have seen a large number of videos on this very subject. This is far and away the best film of its kind...very meticulously done. Outside of reading something like Clapton's book, it doesn't come more complete than this.
Wow thank you so much for that incredible compliment. 🙏 I’ve had this story in my head for 30 years because of the music and when I finally read her book I couldn’t sleep that night and knew this story needed to be back out there from her perspective. So many relatable moments.
@@freewheelingideasif you could get that link to her, I bet you'd get an autographed book. I've got a lot of autographs contacting people with unusual things. Most are easier to reach than you'd think.
That's the problem with idealizing human beings. We are all flawed and we all have things in our lives that we would not want exposed to the world. Fortuneately, most of us don't live in a fishbowl. However, once you mix alcohol and drugs in with relationships and live a party lifestyle, it's easy to lose focus and priorities. Yes, you can be enormously talented and still be a jerk at times. Never place any person on a pedestal once you do, you are primed for disappointment.
This definitely was an eye-opener for me! I really didn’t realize how vulnerable Patty Boyd really was to the infidelities of George and Eric and the cost of living the rocker lifestyle! Guess there’s a price to be paid for living in the limelight. I am very happy that she has found happiness, even though it was a long time coming!
The quotes by Carl Jung, demonstrate the madness of much of the events of the sixties. The excess and self absorption of peoples lives, hypnotised by their own consciousness.
i'm a 55 year old BEATLEHEAD who has studied them to death and back. I'm not into celeb culture but this was very interesting alot of stuff i did not know. none of the books on them i ever read mentioned alot on this period. anything about 'GEORGE' i've ever read or seen did not go into detail about much of this. this was well done. very interesting.
what you read is what she says, too bad George is not around to deny or confirm. I think she's trying to make a pretty penny (because she's broke) off of George's name 20+ years after his death. sad.
@@freddykabulaschnitza2475 can't the both be true? Not a flawless Saint to be sure, but hard not to act incredibly selfishly when everyone surrounding you is treating you as if you are an incarnated god. Turns out that really isn't the greatest environment for spiritual growth. It humanized him for me, but I don't think less of him. Humans will nearly always disappoint you if you expect too much of them.
Team: Pattie! She was so young when she entered that scene and endured so much. Like many others, I’m so happy for her that she is now is a loving marriage with a good man.
Yeah! I had my own experience. But artists too! My husband had a real job when I married him, then later decided to be a full time landscape artist! I was gaslit and controlled by both.
I read Patty's autobiography and it was fascinating. George definitely checked out which allowed Eric to swoop in. I know it was the swingin 60's but she wasn't treated very well. She also writes about great experiences and traveling with the Beatles. She speaks very highly of Mick Jagger. Not so much of John Lennon. Loved her book. Imagine having all so many songs written about you
WOW. Of course, I realize simple, bitter people will never fail to provide simple, bitter comments but I'm betting your a special brand altogether. Have a nice day. Somewhere else.🤪
@@concal59 Yes, kids. Influential. Influential as a model in the 60s who inspired designers on Carnaby St/Kings Road.

Thanks, Pattie, for influencing life, fashion, spirituality, art and music.🥀 P.S. Have you dears actually READ the book? Have you read A book? 😳
To understand the rock and roll lifestyle watch almost famous! Eric and George were immersed in it from an early age! When women were throwing themselves at them, they really looked at women as sexual commodities, as easy to get as the drugs and alcohol the used to excess. Eric was socially immature and awkward not someone a woman normally want to have a relationship with. George seems self absorbed.
Since I first saw Patti Boyd when i was a 13 year old Beatles fan in Hard Days Night, i wished I could look like her and live her life! She deserved so much more and many women, including me, learn life can be much crueler than we can imagine.
That Epic guitar riff in Layla was a gift from Duane Allman who stopped by Criterion studios to meet Eric and jam. Eric liked the lick and Duane was playing around with and Allman said go ahead use it.
Why? I’m a fan because of Harrison’s music. Nothing in this story changes that. I also hear a zillion situations where I’d have left to never return to the man who treated me like garbage. I don’t understand why she kept going back.
@@joanne1114 Olivia Harrison once said in an interview that the way to stay married is "to never get divorced"...and when the interviewer described Olivia as being lucky to be with George Harrison, Olivia swiftly replied, "George was lucky to be with me." ... Olivia gave George a son, Dhani, and Dhani meant the world to George. Olivia was the woman who stayed married to George, so obviously strong enough to put up with or deal with George's shenanigans and Dhani had a good Dad in George. Patti wasn't up to Olivia's ethos re marriage or she wouldn't have fallen for Eric. I feel sorry for fans who may feel let down by their idol's personal "failures" but the music they produced - both George and Eric were / are great musicians, songwriters, and had issues, yes, but people are seldom perfect. Some of us find happiness with others, some, sadly do not. (I married twice and was divorced twice, sadly, but there you go, I was one of the unlucky ones. I hope others are more successful than me, or Patti Boyd, or Cynthia Lennon).
As George was my fave Beatle, Patti was my idol. I followed her make-up and hair care info in 16 magazine. I was shocked when she left George for Eric. Of course, I didn’t know any of this!! I too have been married twice, both times to musicians. I can soooo relate to her story, and I’m so happy that her life ended up with happiness. I miss George a lot, but his autobiography on HBO opened my eyes to some of his darker side. God bless you Patti! You’re still an awesome lady!
For anyone who wants to read more about Pattie and George and Eric..A friend of hers and the Beatles also wrote a book. She lived with Patti and George for awhile too. Her name is Chris O'Dell. The book is: Miss O'Dell: My Hard Days and Long Nights with the Beatles, the Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and the Women They Loved. It''s a pretty good book and kind of fills in the gaps a little more than what was in Patti's book. Goodread's website has the description of the book on there
I greatly appreciate your article. I knew a little about Patty, George and Eric but no details. This is insightful . Girls learn a lesson from patty and stop looking for knights . Most men pretty much like the hunt untill they win the prey. I wish Patty had known Eric was just a player and and not have gotten swayed by his deceitful charm. I am glad she found happiness in the end.
We all would. But Jane doesn't need the money so why do it? The fact she gave Paul the heave- ho suggests she is a pretty solid individual. One who wouldn't take a penny off him.
Much unlike many people, I have never seen clapton as being among the greatest of musicians, singers, songwriters. Good, yes. He can play. But he just never seems to be able to deliver the 'feel', the 'soul' of the music. When he copped the great songs of Bob Marley and J.J. Cale, he understood the total 'cool' and bluesy depth of their abilities and tried to copy it. But he never could measure up to what they brought to music. That said, I never had any idea that these guitarists, all at the top of the rock pyramid, passed around and scrounged either others wives like snagging a cigarette out of the next guy's pack! When I only hear one side of a story, I automatically discount it's validity by 50% until I hear the other side too. But even at that, much as I am still in awe at the musicianship that most of these guys achieved, I can now only muster a tiny fraction of respect for them - 'rock-n-roll lifestyle and all that" aside.
@hayguugle8656 Clapton most certainly could deliver the "soul" of music when he was with Cream. He never quite measured up to that level again. However is great but that aside, he is an asshole of a husband and George Harrison wasn't any better.
@@yesterdayproductions1019 I might be inclined to agree with you were it not for the fact that there wasn't a single Cream song that I liked. 🙂 I don't disparage their musicianship. But their music/sound just never grabbed me. Never liked it. So that period doesn't help his cause in my book. Have fun. 😀
I really enjoyed this. I love learning about all sorts of different people, discovering what happened to them throughout their lives, experiences that formed them to become the people that they are today. I came across an article in my feed, about Patti, which led me to this video. It was extremely well done in every way. Thank you to whomever was behind the production of this.
Wow. So sad to see clearly now that none of them had any sort of concept of healthy personal boundaries. They never had a chance to be able to learn them anywhere 💔
Society is full of people who have no loyalty or decency towards one another. I try to treat people how I'd like to be treated in all aspects of my life. I can't wrap my head around all the deception going on here between these so-called friends and band mates.
I had the opportunity to meet her during one of her tours. She was very gracious and and signed some of her photos with George that she had taken. She is a class act, and deserved better from two great musicians that married her, than treated her like trash. She deserves better, and I believe her current husband gives her the love and respect she deserves. Her book is also illuminating on her life. Her charm exuded happiness. She is still beautiful.
Glad to hear the true story, all I had ever heard about her was that she had left George for Eric. Ofcourse, their was much more to this story, now I know how disgusting n disrespectful both these men were with her. Pleased to learn she eventually got away from both of them n found herself again. Glad to hear she found happiness with a real man n a good life. 😁✌🏼
Not only did Patti suffer from these insufferable men, she was haunted by the beautiful love songs that were written about her from the men who betrayed her.
I remember when I first heard about Eric Clampton being in crazy-love with the wife of George Harrison, I thought: "Dang! That woman must really be something to attract the adoration of two rock super-star hotties like that! I wonder what she's all about?" After reading "Wonderful Tonight" I concluded that this woman - Pattie Boyd - was anything but happy in her relationships with these guys who were too self-centered, addicted and preoccupied to be in a healthy, happy romantic relationship. Maybe, too, she was too much of a doormat
I think Jane Asher was the most beautiful of the Beatles' women and she had smarts and self esteem (came from a loving and supportive family). Cynthia Lennon was beautiful, too.
Don't feel sorry for her. This was the life she wanted. These women marry these guys because of their wealth and fame. If they wanted a normal life they could have married a regular dude. But they didnt.
But look at all the Makeup it took for her to look like that. If you need that much makeup, maybe you should tear down the barn and rebuild it using new materials 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂
I don’t usually read celebrity autobiographies but I'm glad I read this one. It was eye-opening to say the least. I roll my eyes now when I hear "Tears In Heaven," which is a shame because it's a lovely song, but when you know the whole story about Clapton and his total non-relationship with his little son ...
@sylviaelizabethclarecholic2073. She hasn't been 100% honest about those times. She has selective memory and only discloses "just enough" to keep things vague but generate interest. Ronnie Wood (Rolling Stones) revealed much more about his repeated flings with Pattie (while she was married to George) in his book "Ronnie". Ronnie was also friends with Clapton and would holiday with them in their house in the Bahamas. Pattie has maintained a very cozy friendship with Ronnie Wood.
@@rbee1804 well, a lady has a right to a bit of mystery...... There is someone else who was married to a Beatle who has not been candid, at all...... 🤔🤔🤔
The invitation of pagan spirituality had the same effect on Georges relationship with Patti as drugs did on Johns relationship with Cynthia. It brought in influences that broke their commitment to their wives. Its interesting how McCartney avoided this in regard to Linda. McCartney's idea of love and commitment was indicative of a strong character, not willing to allow outside influences to ruin his life. Very admirable, especially for a mega-star.
Why do you think Linda insisted in being in Wings, even though she could only play tambourine initially … saw her live in the early days. Why do you think she wanted to live in isolation on a barren island in the Shetlands? Kept him away from temptation.
Most people dont know it, but behind all those indian pagan gods, and behind all those "gurus" are demons in disguise, and when they make you " meditate and been in a trance like state " what they are really doing is lowering your real spiritual guard ( Jesus protection ) so you can be taken by those demons in a very very suttle way and little by little till they got you totally hook on drugs, alcohol, sleeping around, totally into you and only you and depressed, suicidal, etc etc , and if on top of all that, you are a rock star dealing with all the satanist on the music industry, then you are a lucky winner of a trip into hell for eternity !!!!
Exactly. I don't know why the commenters here think that Rock/Pop musicians own the market on this. Women kind of pushed it too during the 70's. I was young and I remember but I never could detach my emotions from sex. I grew to see that I ultimately had hurt myself or knew no different due to my own childhood trauma. The only upside were men who started to complain in the 80's about being a piece of meat.
@freshmanna4678 Free love grew out of the many dysfunctional marriages, who stayed unhappily married. The next generation did not want a lifetime of unhappiness.
@@francikeen Perhaps. I only know, having reached adulthood in the midst of it that there were many unmarried folk who also suffered from it. For me it is not simply history or sociology but life lessons learned
She fitted in 3 lives together! I'm just glad she found the strength and peace to make the break. I used to wish I was her. Now I'm glad I'm not ! You are beautiful Patti ❤️
I read a book about this trio many years ago. I have admired Pattie ever since. Although the book was insightful this blog explains so much more. I can fully understand how lack of self esteem and confidence can lead to wrong life changing choices. God Bess Pattie 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I’m so glad she had found herself and is happy 😃
The fact that both guys are good players and songwriters doesn't mean that they are good husbands.
They could be good lovers but lousy husbands.
Eric Clapton said that his addictions(alcohol, drugs) were making him impotent.
@@gracereeves5790 I believe it.
You're right. Just correct it. ;-)@@margueritemazzeo2904
Or great men, period.
I met Patti in Las Vegas in 2009 she is a beautiful lady and so nice. What a fool Harrison was and Clapton also. I’m glad she is Happily Married
That's actually nice to hear. Thank you for this.
Such a sad story. At least she realised that George was a better husband than Eric but the whole story is dreadful. Those crazy psychedelic drug/drink fuelled sixties/seventies have got a lot to answer for.
George was only incrementally a better husband. A spouse constantly cheating is no picnic to live with. He's addicted to variety and is not going to stop until he's dead. This is the demoralizing downside of involvement with a rich, famous, desirable man, and no woman is ever prepared for this aspect of daily life with such a man.
Fools alright! Patti just wanted to be a good wife with strong hopes to become a mother. Could it be karma? - Eric’s son passes away tragically & George is stabbed in the chest by an intruder in 1999, then dies (of cancer) in 2001. hmmm 🤔 So glad Patti has found happiness and a good life for herself ❤
George:dick.
Eric: drunk.
Those were the reasons the marriages failed.
Staying married till old age when both are faithful to each other loving each other is indeed a happy life ever after...
How often does that happen any more? So much sexual freedom then and now.
Good for you!
@@sandrahatherley2184 very, very sad to say that faithfulness is rare to find, in my life even at age of 67, my wife 66 now, l still pray to God that he enable us, to love one another, to care for one another, honour one another, and l see that in my relationship it's God goodness and mercy for us. May God bless you too, he is only a prayer away from us we'll keep asking for his blessings upon us ....
I did! My husband recently passed away after 41years
of marriage. He had a TBI and a broken neck. He was in the hospital for 360 days. We were married since we were 17....I miss him terribly. 😢 and he was my life. I would still be married- if he was here..I would give up anything to have him back. I know I will never have a man like him again! I am not open to dating. I am going to be a cat mom...RIP baby!! Til I see you again ❤❤.....it's not always easy, but it was always right!!
Atleast for me. I didn't have a cheating rat...but a soul mate, once in a lifetime love.
@@Debra-k1f Being followers of Christ we have a hope to meet our love ones someday...and most of all to see our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who saves us from sin and condemnation, being in Christ is an eternal hope that last forever 🙏🙏
And, us girls thought she was so lucky! How hurtful they both were to her. I want to give her a hug. Having been used and abused by narcissistic men, I can relate.
That’s why I don’t bother to know about The Beatles’s personal lives. I admire them for their musical talents and the happiness they gave their fans❤❤❤Beatles 4 Ever
I don't know him him personally. But I always assumed George was the more down to earth Beatle. It's also sad if Eric turned out to not be who she thought he was after begging her to go with him.
Ditto! ♥️🙏🏽♥️
Women are who they attract….
YES!.. narcissistic misogynistic men... all the damage they do! the pain and the Soros the time they have stolen. It will catch up to them karma is a b****... in this life or the next.
I am stunned at how George treated Patty. Also, George and Maureen Starr? WOW ! Talk about betrayal. I read that when Patty was Finally finished with Eric, Patty had no money. That is when George paid Patty's rent for an apartment as long as she lived there. That is the least he could have done for her. I am glad Patty is finally doing well. I read that Patty attended Connor"s funeral. I also read that Eric said in an interview that as soon as Eric had Patty, he did not want her anymore. It was the pursuit that fed his feelings for Patty.
What a rude hostile thing for Eric to say in an interview. I’m just guessing that he didn’t feel confident that she’d stay with him once she really knew him and wanted to be the one to leave first.
WHAT A CHEAP FCK GEORGE WAS HE SHOULD HAD BOUGHT THE APARTMENT FOR HER NOT PAID HER MEASLY RENT TODAY IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY
Sick
@@Silverstreak7878 No, he was expressing his true feeling but does not know real love.
The fact that he only married her to win a bet says it all! What a jerk. And what a jerk George was to cheat with Ringo's wife!
My opion of George and Eric has changed. Especially Eric!
I recently read where Eric had Jimmy Hendricks join him on stage and left in a rage and outside the venue he screamed at the person who set it up that he didn't know Jimmy was THAT GOOD.
Talk about insecurities.! He got her when she was depressed over how George was treating her and then threw her away.
She should get royalties from the songs she inspired!
When ever I have a friend or relative who is in a bad relationship, I always give them this quote by Maya Angelou. "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." Everyone needs to be taught this from an early age. Don't spend the best part of your life trying to fix a broken person. Go have a good life. I have read Patty's books and seen her do some interviews. Isn't it amazing how when she left this rotten men, (rich men) They didn't make sure she had money and a place to live. I hope she has has lots of happiness now. Everyone deserves to be happy.
Love that and Yes she finally saw it for what it was and got on with life!
I thought George bought Patti a house when she left Clapton. No?
your comment is so true; unfortunately, many of us don't figure it out until it's too late.
@@lisakaz35.... I believe it was Etic who signed over ownership of a cottage to her. I would have hired top notch lawyers and skewered the bastard. Clapton is a moral degenerate. I still can't wrap my head around how he manipulated Pattie into marrying him. OMG
It's a beautiful statement and thought...but I don't understand. Believe them the first time?? I have believed when I thought someone showed me who they were 'the first time.' All I learnt was that I was gullible and stupid!
Gee, I'm glad my life is boring.
Same here. Nothing beats peace of mind.
Amen! And to think I was a 13 yr old, naive
girl.😂
😂 it does seem rather excess in the emotional pain department. I suppose I figured George was always womanizing, but that was definitely true, and that would be very hard to deal with for Patti. 😢
I was just gonna say, "gee I'm glad I'm not a rock star" lol.
😂😅😂😂ME TOO!
I can’t understand how anyone would repeatedly put up with so much betrayal. Pattie’s youth was wasted on men who didn’t deserve her. Jane Asher showed how betrayal should be treated. All’s well that ended well though. She found someone worthy of her in the end.
I want to know if Jane left Paul or Faul.
@@savannahsmiles1797 according to the timeline for that possibility, Jane kept up the ruse for a little while but was aware her Paul had died. The breakup was inevitable but she was gracious enough to not time it too closely to Paul's passing. Billy Shears (William Shepherd) was then free to publicly marry the woman he had met and fallen in love with, Linda.
Personally, if this is how it all went down, I don't think Billy is the bad guy, as wonderful as Paul was. Billy Shears has given us a lot of great music.
But I don't know what to really believe at this point. I can see either (just a crazy conspiracy theory or the greatest switcheroo EVER) as being possible. There sure are a lot of people comfortable with addressing Sir Paul McCartney as "Billy."
True ❤
Jane Asher had her head screwed on the right way; I wish I'd been more like her.
@@newdeltamusicStop the nonsense 😅
This wasn’t just how musicians lived, this was life for hippies in general in the 60s and 70s

You think this only happened in the 60s? Man has been f....ng around for a long time.
It never happened with my merry band of hippies. We all married young and stayed together.
no it wasn't, most hippies did not live in mansions and jet set around the world, heavens
Sorry you missed it?
“Open” relationships rarely end well. It’s fun when you’re young and putting it around but eventually people get hurt.
I don't think they were open relationships, yet the guys seemed to think they were 😢 Been there, it is not fun if you are any way into monogamy 😂
Fun fact back in 1971 my uncle saw Pattie walking down a street smoking and asked Pattie if he could shake her hand and she said "of course sir" and grabbed his hand, she had good manners he asked her out and she said yes altough she was married to George, and after the "date" he said that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and that he was a virgin and Pattie said that she hadnt had sex for a long time and she followed him to his hotel room and they had s**, then they went for a walk he said that she smoked like a chimney, and right before she got into her car he thanked her for taking away his virginity and kissed her mouth, she smiled and said "you are bigger than george" and laughed i wonder if she wouldve remembered him if he wrote to her "back in 1971 you took away my virginity" lol
I’m a fan of he Beatles and Eric, but geez Louise, these guys are freaking insane!! Patti hung around much longer than anyone should have!! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️

Only George did that. Just George. Mr. Spiritual.

So stupid. So according to this commenter, the other 3 Beatles slept with Pattie, Jane, Cynthia and Mo?
Despite being beautiful and living an unbelievably glamorous lifestyle, she had such a sad life. I’m so glad she’s happily married and hopefully content now

@@Sherri-w9b 1st time, last time, or hundredth time, it's never right. Moving in on a friend's woman is not what friends do to each other.
It's always nice to see that the gurus of the sixties were just as screwed up as everyone else. So much for "Love is all you need".
Seems like "all the sex I can get is what I need" was their real anthem.
They took that song in the wrong direction to the extreme.
There's "love" that's really just physical attraction and lust, and there's LOVE which is truly caring about each other on every level. THAT kind of love seems to naturally desire commitment and fidelity.
A pure, unselfish love IS the most powerful force in existence.

This is more like the family tree of Queen Victoria- where everyone is related. It’s creepy.

😂😂😂
The whole thing is so ridiculous that how could ANY of them claim innocence ?!
I had to keep rewinding 😮
I got confused between the mother of Connor and then yet another woman 😂
😂😂😂😂
Left out of the video was the fact that when Patty divorced Eric, she could not find a lawyer who wasn't in awe of Eric leaving her to pretty much fend for herself financially. Today, there would be tons of lawyers willing to take him to the cleaners!!
It was a sign of the times to engage in those sexual politics. The gaslighting men did was unthinkable. For all their talent, really they were scum.
That sounds about right. Rita Coolidge said he stole the music for Layla from her but was warned no one would believe her over him
That was Jim Gordon, Eric’s drummer who pinched it from her. Eric and Tom Dowd didn’t want it in and Bobby Whitlock their keyboardist didn’t play it,the drummer Jim Gordon did
I’ve met Pattie and she is a wonderful woman. She told me much of what you’ve said and I admire her very much.
Imagine having the most beautiful love songs written about you.
I truly wish she could have children. Poor Pattie.
Wow. I hadn't heard this until now, it all rings true. I'm happy for Pattie that she has found happiness ~she deserves to. ☮💜

I don't agree with you.
She knew what she was doing.
She wanted the Money and Fame that went with it.

@@OldiesMomma NADA she should have sued George for being an arse. The guy had millions. And if want orgies she deserved him paying for ruining her life, then turn around and do the same to Eric for being a liar, abusive and scummy. She should be compensated for them both being dogs.
@@OldiesMomma George cheated on pattie many times. Eric Clapton was just infatuated with her. He also cheated on her. I think they treated her badly.
@@Amarylis185 I tend to agree with you. Is it fair judge so harshly OldiesMomma? George is gone years ,and EC is older and hopefully has changed I loved their music but no thanks to the insane life style!
She has such a beautiful speaking voice, very soothing and calm. A lot like George ironically. So sad hearing how badly they treated her yet their songs are so soulful.
Jesus Christ - how insane. That poor woman - I’m glad she’s in a good place now ❤ and living her best life.
The problem is Jesus Christ was not a thought in their lives. The Beatles mocked The Lord Jesus Christ. They were into cults ,drugs and immorality. No good can come of that.
I was wondering 🤔
Did Patti ever have children??
@@Lois-w3o No she was never able to. I think she later said she had fibroids, and that's why she couldn't get pregnant.
The one thing this video doesn’t ask; did she ever screw around herself?
@Bradydog-in7ut She was much more discreet during her marriage to George as no Beatle would've wanted THAT in the news. But Ronnie Wood wrote about wife swapping with George several times at the mansion (Friar Park) in his book "Wood". It wasn't a one-time thing. When George was becoming unnattentive to Pattie he would stay home (his preference) and she would go out clubbing/dancing.
This was very enlightening. I had no idea exactly what Pattie went through. I am glad she grew into a stronger individual and left those two men behind.
So, so far Ringo is the only one besides Patti who has normal reactions to betrayal.
I had always thought that George Harrison was a shy and lovely man. Lately I found out so much about him making me believe he was a gifted musician but a not very clever egomaniac.
We all heard about the rotten lifestyle Erich Clapton had. It is amazing that he is still alive and has sobered up.
This story prooves that does not matter how beautiful, intelligent and talented a person is, if your self esteem is to low you will be treated like shit. That has happened to me as well for nearly twenty years. Now fourty years later I can only shake my head remembering things I did swallow from others, mainly women.
Such true words. I hope God grants you the years back. Sometimes the trek is what was meant to be to gain the wisdom to move forward in a more positive direction that otherwise would have been.
@@Seaker24 I was extremely blessed for the last 35 years. I am happily married since then and I have two lovely kids that are both over thirty years old.
And I know that if I would not have been going through a lot before I would not have been in the right place at the perfect time when I met my wife by sheer coincidence or rather the blessing of God. We got engaged and married within a few months. That was my blessing and probably my salvation. Since then I had so much luck that I feel nearly guilty how good my life has been for me for a very long time now.
Glad you and I are both doing better and appreciating ourselves
Well we live and learn we've all made mistakes that don't bear repeating but we're stronger than that now
I was always fascinated by Pattie after a friend of mine introduced me to Eric Claptons' music, and I learned of the story of the love triangle. I'm glad Pattie has found happiness at long last.
And I thought my life was complicated.
I ❤ Patti Boyd. Not only does she have the sweetest face, but a personality to match.
George and Eric threw away the best one ever. I'm so happy she finally met someone who can love and appreciate her. I wish her every success and happiness always. 🍃
How long have you known her - personally I mean ?
How do you know what they threw away! You weren’t married to her!

@@elizabethkovala2887 it’s like “The Ring of Power” in Lord of the Rings. You think you’re going to do great things with you but it ends up corrupting and controlling you.
Both Eric and George are sadly a disappointment and disturbing for their disgusting behaviour. She sure deserved far far better, delighted she got to find an honourable man.
She's the one who made the choice to marry rockstars. It's pretty naive to expect something other than what she received from Eric and George.
I’m so sorry she allowed herself to be abused like this. Lovely lady.
I really believe she couldn't help it. Lack of self esteem is a true bitch.
That she allowed herself to be abused like that …you’ve clearly never been in a physically violent relationship and I am so happy that you have not. That just struck me as a bit hurtful- we deal with A LOT IF SHAME AND GUILT AND SELFBLAME. For their behavior, for us not leaving fast enough, for not being smart enough- just keep that in mind in the future when discussing this. We really beat ourselves up emotionally inside about it. It’s a cycle. They break you down slowly, and over time. Tiny boundary crosses, slightly larger. More frequent …the love bomb love bombs loooovvvee bomb best ever- then they go in for the first big cross. And and are shocked. You can’t believe it. You think they can change. That they will. They tell you they will. It’s insane. I don’t wish it on anyone.
@@alexpriedite1447 we cannot judge what was happening then with our to-day eyes. It was then trendy and courageous to disobey the traditional morale. Fidelity was something from dark ages that had to be trampled upon. One had to be living in the early 70's to understand that this was not meant to be abusive but bold in a way. I didn't read the book, but if she's using the new bigot standards of to-day to lament on her life in the early 70's it is not fair. I'm not saying infidelity is right, I'm just saying it wasn't experienced with the same angle just after the hippy movement.
What a strong woman she is. So much pain. I wish I knew how she was able to move beyond that. I don’t know how she forgave such deep and painful betrayals. Amazing woman.
I don't know that she was particularly "strong" staying round men who cheated on her, and humiliated her. She should have followed Jane Asher's example, but I don't think Pattie's early life gave her the self confidence and self worth that Asher had. She doesn't seem to have had the support of her family like Asher enjoyed, and of course Asher had a career as well to fall back on, while I believe George discouraged Pattie's modelling.
@@michelez715 You assume what I mean when I describe her as “strong”. She is, in my opinion, strong in the context of her ability to forgive, as it relates to human relationships; not as it relates to moving on in the midst of drug abuse and being successful in a career, although those are admirable choices as well. I just think the capacity to forgive that deeply is something I couldn’t do myself and which I greatly admire. I wish i could be like her in that respect. I live near Hollywood, and that business doesn’t impress me.
What strikes me is that these hippies had been lecturing the world on love & peace for over a decade, didnt know the first thing about it and couldnt see past their own egos.
Hippies being full of $%!#?... nooo...
George and Eric were 2 guys that just went from one woman to another .I doubt they were ever in love with anyone but themselves. I think Paul and Ringo may have found true love with Linda and Barbara. Patty had 3 good songs written about her but the feelings behind these songs were very temporary and quickly gone.
Don't know much about Ringo, but it's said Linda wanted to leave "Paul" but for the kids.
@@giuliettamassina7787 By who , John and Yoko ? Please let us know who besides you said this and where we can find the interview ?
Those three songs, I feel, she would gladly give back in exchange for the children she wanted but couldn't have. While, of course, Eric had a least two children with different women during their marriage.
Ha de ser difícil convivir con estrellas de la música. Los hombres de por sí se dejan llevar por la gracia de las mujeres, cuánta tentación para estos músicos siempre rodeados por fans, algunas dispuestas a estar con ellos y ellos ... dejándose tentar. Definitivamente Clapton estaba roto, aunque su música fuera bella.
@@giuliettamassina7787 yes, he was unfaithful to her I knew ppl close to the fab 4 and many other things on Patty I can't tell.
All these “peace and love” sixties rock icons are such monsters, in real life. Amazing story.
A good friend of mine who plays drums in a band was super excited to meet Patty at a book signing, and have her picture taken together.
I met Lennon’s old girl friend in NYC, May Pang. Super nice. She was used and tossed away like a Kleenex, from one day to the next!
All these flower power generation guys abuse the heck out of their wives, other people’s wives, girlfriends, kids. But hey, peace and Love…
Narcissists can do no wrong!
agreed. Deified for writing pop songs, but all had the morals of alley cats.
drugs/alcohol, big egos
So true, the whole "hippie culture" was a lot about hedonism wrapped in delusions of peace & love.
Great songwriters and musicians but not so great men. At least when they finally grew up and cleaned up they became better people. George remained friends with Patti until he died.
It will forever surprise me that people, men and or women, will take abuse or discontent from a person that professes to love them. It honestly makes no sense yet as a young woman I e done it too. I’m older now and consider marriage a game to most. Life isn’t meant to be “work” and we should only be with people that treat us and themselves with respect and appreciation. Why settle for less? And woman, find your own talents, skills, and careers without needing men for emotional and financial support. Ladies give up too much of themselves for men and it’s not reciprocated in most cases. My opinions
I so agree. I've had some dreadful relationships where I've hung on for far too long. The last one was with someone who had some narcissistic tendencies which left me with low self esteem for several years. Now I'm older I live with just my animals, by the sea and I potter about in my garden and read a lot. I am as free as one can be and I've never been happier.
Let George '*RIP*" Already he can't defend him Self 👈🙄 one sided story 😒
I totally agree.
@@lurdasramos I’m speaking in general terms not specific to the characters in this story. My intention isn’t to offend just stating my general thoughts on the subject matter
I grew up with bro's and they constantly told me men are pigs only a handful aren't. George and Eric prove it.
Aaah the free love era. We all thought we were having so much fun. Now that we look back on it, it wasn’t that much fun. It takes a toll on what it means to be being truly loved and independent. Glad those days are over and back to being a respectable person.
I missed this by a couple decades, but what I gained from the history of this era from first hand recollections, is that it was a terrible set of ideals, which seems extremely obvious.
It seems like a lot of this hippie junk has returned recently with blue hair and the same type of insanely myopic perspective.
Kids will be kids I guess. I just hope they stay off my lawn.
Great artists don't always = great character
Very rarely, in fact.
I read her book and I think she was a nice girl. She got involved too young with drugs, sex, and rock ‘n’ roll, & in my heart I believe that, witnessing what she saw with her parents marriage took a toll on her
And I thought Justine Timberlake was bad not allowing Britney to go to a hospital for her abortion, playing a guitar for her while Britney bleeds into the bathtub. They are all monsters.
They're all sellouts
Being single isn't the worst way to be, folks!!!
reminds me of steven tyler. he bought girl from parents = pedo. gets her pregnanrt at 16. at almost full term... forces her to have abortion. who knows what happened to these babies & embryos. offerings. souless devils. literally. clapton's son/all sacrifice/s.daemons. just look at movie where george harrison plays merlin with vampire. narcissistic sociopathic psychopathic demonic possessions. love bomb, isolate, groom, once they have them, discard, hoover, repeat. using women. stealing their light. using them as muse, to breed, gaslight, devastate & destroy.
She was so gorgeous, what a sad time she endured. I'm so happy for her that at long last she found happiness xx
What awful exponents of the opposite sex these "stars" were !!. . . . Shocking !!...
🇬🇧 Poor Pattie, I really hope that she is completely happy now.
In 1966 I looked just like Pattie Boyde, ( as a friend told me only last week) , a very big difference though. Thankfully, I have led a very quiet and conventional life. No drugs, ( ever ) , no drink , no smoking, etc, being completely faithful to my late husband. I'm just so grateful to still be alive at nearly 78.
Ps. I did wear extremely short mini skirts then, and I did live in Chelsea, just off the King's Road.
Well done!
Many thanks for your kind reply.
Good for her , such a beautiful woman , inside and out
I remember when my ex husband was helping out with Richie Blackmore’s Rainbow. I know he was helping with audio at the time. We were invited to their concerts and I remember the groupies that would hang around. Jimmy Page’s name was always mentioned along with Keith Moon. To say that these crazy relationships were continuously circulated is understatement. I never cared about that groupie scene nor was I ever interested in trying to involve myself with someone who couldn’t stay monogamous. It’s just a very lonely way of life.
Pattie wasn't a groupie. She was a model and an actress. She and George met on the set of A Hard Day's Night.
@@suzanneobrien781 Yes, I am aware of this. But thank you for sharing.
I am very well read on The Beatles and it's former members, as well as Eric Clapton. I have seen a large number of videos on this very subject. This is far and away the best film of its kind...very meticulously done. Outside of reading something like Clapton's book, it doesn't come more complete than this.
Wow thank you so much for that incredible compliment. 🙏 I’ve had this story in my head for 30 years because of the music and when I finally read her book I couldn’t sleep that night and knew this story needed to be back out there from her perspective. So many relatable moments.
@@freewheelingideasWell you did Pattie proud, my friend!
@@freewheelingideasif you could get that link to her, I bet you'd get an autographed book. I've got a lot of autographs contacting people with unusual things. Most are easier to reach than you'd think.
That's the problem with idealizing human beings. We are all flawed and we all have things in our lives that we would not want exposed to the world. Fortuneately, most of us don't live in a fishbowl. However, once you mix alcohol and drugs in with relationships and live a party lifestyle, it's easy to lose focus and priorities. Yes, you can be enormously talented and still be a jerk at times. Never place any person on a pedestal once you do, you are primed for disappointment.
Fucking A 👏👌👍
This definitely was an eye-opener for me! I really didn’t realize how vulnerable Patty Boyd really was to the infidelities of George and Eric and the cost of living the rocker lifestyle! Guess there’s a price to be paid for living in the limelight. I am very happy that she has found happiness, even though it was a long time coming!
Just because they may be great artist, doesn't mean they are great humans!
The quotes by Carl Jung, demonstrate the madness of much of the events of the sixties. The excess and self absorption of peoples lives, hypnotised by their own consciousness.
i'm a 55 year old BEATLEHEAD who has studied them to death and back. I'm not into celeb culture but this was very interesting alot of stuff i did not know. none of the books on them i ever read mentioned alot on this period. anything about 'GEORGE' i've ever read or seen did not go into detail about much of this. this was well done. very interesting.
The wives usually know where the bodies are buried.
Is it because they are doing the burying?
I used to think George was a great guy before listening to this.
what you read is what she says, too bad George is not around to deny or confirm. I think she's trying to make a pretty penny (because she's broke) off of George's name 20+ years after his death. sad.
@@freddykabulaschnitza2475 can't the both be true? Not a flawless Saint to be sure, but hard not to act incredibly selfishly when everyone surrounding you is treating you as if you are an incarnated god. Turns out that really isn't the greatest environment for spiritual growth. It humanized him for me, but I don't think less of him. Humans will nearly always disappoint you if you expect too much of them.
Another crazy relationship was that of Mick Jagger & Marianne Faithful!
Im glad that she finally found someone who really cares and love her.Poor Patty having to go through so much hurt and disappointment.
Team: Pattie! She was so young when she entered that scene and endured so much. Like many others, I’m so happy for her that she is now is a loving marriage with a good man.
Musicians. Never fall for them.
Its not just musicians
@@MM-qp4pd You're right. Movie stars and politicians, too.
Yeah! I had my own experience. But artists too! My husband had a real job when I married him, then later decided to be a full time landscape artist! I was gaslit and controlled by both.
Exactly but you broads keep falling for them and same with actors 🤦♂️ just stay away from those involved with the entertainment industry full stop ✋️
Artists in general. Most are narcissists with big egos.
I'm glad to learn that she finaly found a peaceful and healthy relationship after all the hard stuff she's been through.
Patty's life story is so sad😢 she was so beautiful. Who knew😮. I'm glad she's happy now
I read Patty's autobiography and it was fascinating. George definitely checked out which allowed Eric to swoop in. I know it was the swingin 60's but she wasn't treated very well. She also writes about great experiences and traveling with the Beatles. She speaks very highly of Mick Jagger. Not so much of John Lennon. Loved her book. Imagine having all so many songs written about you
What a mess! Patti did not deserve any of that. Bless you dear.
Own the book. Love Pattie. One of the most important and influencial people of 1960s. Rock on, Pattie.🌻
😂😂😂 an influential bike
WOW. Of course, I realize simple, bitter people will never fail to provide simple, bitter comments but I'm betting your a special brand altogether. Have a nice day. Somewhere else.🤪
Influencial? 😂😂😂
@@concal59 Yes, kids. Influential. Influential as a model in the 60s who inspired designers on Carnaby St/Kings Road. Influential to Beatles by helping to introduce teachings of Maharaja which lead to that influence on more great music. Influential enough to husband George
Harrison to inspire him to write "Something." One of the world's most beautiful and most "covered" songs. Influential enough to second husband Eric Clapton to cause him to write rock classics "Layla", "Wonderful Tonight", and many more. Two rock icons who took inspiration and influence from the love of Pattie. Influential to American women like me who took her example of strength to heart. Thanks, Pattie, for influencing life, fashion, spirituality, art and music.🥀
P.S. Have you dears actually READ the book?
Have you read A book? 😳
What’s the book??
Her beauty was unique. She had a rough life in her days of George and Eric. But now is what matters 😊. Be happy Miss Patti you really deserve to be. 😊
Wow!! Who in the world would ever want to live like that? Patti was treated horribly.
It’s all about the gratification of “self” - regardless of all their talk about “love”. They wouldn’t know love if they fell over it.
Wretched people.
Any chick who thinks she is gonna have a fairytale life with a RockStar is delirious😵💫
Rich and famous people's problems. Money can't buy you happiness. I'll live modestly with peace.
I’ll love rich and happy.
She deserves to be happy after such sadness in life ❤your a good woman Patty
To understand the rock and roll lifestyle watch almost famous!
Eric and George were immersed in it from an early age! When women were throwing themselves at them, they really looked at women as sexual commodities, as easy to get as the drugs and alcohol the used to excess. Eric was socially immature and awkward not someone a woman normally want to have a relationship with. George seems self absorbed.
Since I first saw Patti Boyd when i was a 13 year old Beatles fan in Hard Days Night, i wished I could look like her and live her life! She deserved so much more and many women, including me, learn life can be much crueler than we can imagine.
That Epic guitar riff in Layla was a gift from Duane Allman who stopped by Criterion studios to meet Eric and jam. Eric liked the lick and Duane was playing around with and Allman said go ahead use it.
Love Duane Allman !
@@freewheelingideas He's so underappreciated.
This needs to be a feature film, it’s Oscar material! I just feel sorry for the George and Eric fans … 🥺
Good idea 👍
WHY?
Why? I’m a fan because of Harrison’s music. Nothing in this story changes that. I also hear a zillion situations where I’d have left to never return to the man who treated me like garbage. I don’t understand why she kept going back.
@@joanne1114
Olivia Harrison once said in an interview that the way to stay married is "to never get divorced"...and when the interviewer described Olivia as being lucky to be with George Harrison, Olivia swiftly replied, "George was lucky to be with me." ... Olivia gave George a son, Dhani, and Dhani meant the world to George. Olivia was the woman who stayed married to George, so obviously strong enough to put up with or deal with George's shenanigans and Dhani had a good Dad in George.
Patti wasn't up to Olivia's ethos re marriage or she wouldn't have fallen for Eric. I feel sorry for fans who may feel let down by their idol's personal "failures" but the music they produced - both George and Eric were / are great musicians, songwriters, and had issues, yes, but people are seldom perfect. Some of us find happiness with others, some, sadly do not. (I married twice and was divorced twice, sadly, but there you go, I was one of the unlucky ones. I hope others are more successful than me, or Patti Boyd, or Cynthia Lennon).
Your sympathies are misplaced. It is the women who each committed to marriage to a misogynistic, self-absorbed, and addicted man.
Insane rock & roll soap opera. I feel so bad for her ordeal with these guys. I hope Clapton reads her book and feels ashamed and makes amends.
Sabes cuándo sacó el libro ??
As George was my fave Beatle, Patti was my idol. I followed her make-up and hair care info in 16 magazine. I was shocked when she left George for Eric. Of course, I didn’t know any of this!! I too have been married twice, both times to musicians. I can soooo relate to her story, and I’m so happy that her life ended up with happiness. I miss George a lot, but his autobiography on HBO opened my eyes to some of his darker side. God bless you Patti! You’re still an awesome lady!
For anyone who wants to read more about Pattie and George and Eric..A friend of hers and the Beatles also wrote a book. She lived with Patti and George for awhile too. Her name is Chris O'Dell. The book is: Miss O'Dell: My Hard Days and Long Nights with the Beatles, the Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and the Women They Loved.
It''s a pretty good book and kind of fills in the gaps a little more than what was in Patti's book. Goodread's website has the description of the book on there
A little bit scary seeing how the hugely influential doyens of the Hippy Era lived their own failed lives. Great Video mate, well done!!
Appreciate that, Glad you enjoyed it!
I greatly appreciate your article. I knew a little about Patty, George and Eric but no details. This is insightful .
Girls learn a lesson from patty and stop looking for knights . Most men pretty much like the hunt untill they win the prey. I wish Patty had known Eric was just a player and and not have gotten swayed by his deceitful charm. I am glad she found happiness in the end.
Thank you
I wish Jane Asher would write a book but Paul probably pays her off to be quiet. The stories she could tell about our Rock hero.
We all would. But Jane doesn't need the money so why do it? The fact she gave Paul the heave- ho suggests she is a pretty solid individual. One who wouldn't take a penny off him.
@@kjmcindoe3014 Why? If you were rich would you turn down 500k-1mil to get fast money!
@Bradydog-in7ut Yes! Why compromise one's integrity, dignity, and privacy? Jane's got it right.
Much unlike many people, I have never seen clapton as being among the greatest of musicians, singers, songwriters. Good, yes. He can play. But he just never seems to be able to deliver the 'feel', the 'soul' of the music. When he copped the great songs of Bob Marley and J.J. Cale, he understood the total 'cool' and bluesy depth of their abilities and tried to copy it. But he never could measure up to what they brought to music.
That said, I never had any idea that these guitarists, all at the top of the rock pyramid, passed around and scrounged either others wives like snagging a cigarette out of the next guy's pack!
When I only hear one side of a story, I automatically discount it's validity by 50% until I hear the other side too. But even at that, much as I am still in awe at the musicianship that most of these guys achieved, I can now only muster a tiny fraction of respect for them - 'rock-n-roll lifestyle and all that" aside.
@hayguugle8656 Clapton most certainly could deliver the "soul" of music when he was with Cream. He never quite measured up to that level again. However is great but that aside, he is an asshole of a husband and George Harrison wasn't any better.
@@yesterdayproductions1019
I might be inclined to agree with you were it not for the fact that there wasn't a single Cream song that I liked. 🙂
I don't disparage their musicianship. But their music/sound just never grabbed me. Never liked it. So that period doesn't help his cause in my book.
Have fun. 😀
I really enjoyed this. I love learning about all sorts of different people, discovering what happened to them throughout their lives, experiences that formed them to become the people that they are today. I came across an article in my feed, about Patti, which led me to this video. It was extremely well done in every way. Thank you to whomever was behind the production of this.
You’re welcome 🙏 glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. So sad to see clearly now that none of them had any sort of concept of healthy personal boundaries. They never had a chance to be able to learn them anywhere 💔
Goodness...she is a strong woman. So much heartache it seems in her life. Glad she has found some happiness.
Strong? She's the definition of a doormat!
Strong? Really? Hmm
Society is full of people who have no loyalty or decency towards one another. I try to treat people how I'd like to be treated in all aspects of my life. I can't wrap my head around all the deception going on here between these so-called friends and band mates.
I like John’s opinion on the Maha Rishi way better than George’s take.
She was absolutely gorgeous.You never heard anything bad said about her.
Beautiful inside and out
Patti Boyd one of the cutest girls ever.
@@johndean4765pattie
I had the opportunity to meet her during one of her tours. She was very gracious and and signed some of her photos with George that she had taken.
She is a class act, and deserved better from two great musicians that married her, than treated her like trash.
She deserves better, and I believe her current husband gives her the love and respect she deserves.
Her book is also illuminating on her life. Her charm exuded happiness.
She is still beautiful.
Narcissistic, even sadistic men.😕
I met her too, and she was a doll. Super sweet and gracious.
Glad to hear the true story, all I had ever heard about her was that she had left George for Eric. Ofcourse, their was much more to this story, now I know how disgusting n disrespectful both these men were with her. Pleased to learn she eventually got away from both of them n found herself again. Glad to hear she found happiness with a real man n a good life. 😁✌🏼
Not only did Patti suffer from these insufferable men, she was haunted by the beautiful love songs that were written about her from the men who betrayed her.
So glad she's doing well and is happy now. I can relate with heartbreak in relationships when I was young, but she had such a colossal amount of it...
I remember when I first heard about Eric Clampton being in crazy-love with the wife of George Harrison, I thought: "Dang! That woman must really be something to attract the adoration of two rock super-star hotties like that! I wonder what she's all about?" After reading "Wonderful Tonight" I concluded that this woman - Pattie Boyd - was anything but happy in her relationships with these guys who were too self-centered, addicted and preoccupied to be in a healthy, happy romantic relationship. Maybe, too, she was too much of a doormat
💯
she thought her fame and beauty would keep them
The best men are the ordinary ones.
@jeank8061 Don't blame Pattie Boyd for the bad behaviors of George Harrison and Eric Clapton.
Who's Eric Clampton? Two of you are referring to him!
That poor beautiful woman. I always thought Patti was breathtaking beautiful
I think Jane Asher was the most beautiful of the Beatles' women and she had smarts and self esteem (came from a loving and supportive family). Cynthia Lennon was beautiful, too.
Don't feel sorry for her. This was the life she wanted. These women marry these guys because of their wealth and fame. If they wanted a normal life they could have married a regular dude. But they didnt.
But look at all the Makeup it took for her to look like that.
If you need that much makeup, maybe you should tear down the barn and rebuild it using new materials 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂

I don’t usually read celebrity autobiographies but I'm glad I read this one. It was eye-opening to say the least. I roll my eyes now when I hear "Tears In Heaven," which is a shame because it's a lovely song, but when you know the whole story about Clapton and his total non-relationship with his little son ...
And the daughter he never mentioned.
I have always believed that Eric had that kid sacrificed
@@BeautifulDove-i7u Wow, can you say more about that?
Me too! Have to do it to stay famous.
I really, really ADMIRE THIS LADY! Bless her. We're fortunate to have her honesty about those times ! ! ❤
@sylviaelizabethclarecholic2073. She hasn't been 100% honest about those times. She has selective memory and only discloses "just enough" to keep things vague but generate interest. Ronnie Wood (Rolling Stones) revealed much more about his repeated flings with Pattie (while she was married to George) in his book "Ronnie". Ronnie was also friends with Clapton and would holiday with them in their house in the Bahamas. Pattie has maintained a very cozy friendship with Ronnie Wood.
@@rbee1804 well, a lady has a right to a bit of mystery......
There is someone else who was married to a Beatle who has not been candid, at all......
🤔🤔🤔
I always thought Eric was just:
"The king of the pentatonic cliche."
Nothing more, nothing less.
The invitation of pagan spirituality had the same effect on Georges relationship with Patti as drugs did on Johns relationship with Cynthia. It brought in influences that broke their commitment to their wives. Its interesting how McCartney avoided this in regard to Linda. McCartney's idea of love and commitment was indicative of
a strong character, not willing to allow outside influences to ruin his life. Very admirable, especially for a mega-star.
That plus the fact that Linda knew better than to ever let him out of her sight.
Linda was a very intelligent woman, I believe. Patti was immature.......she should have left George after she learned of his first infidelity.
Why do you think Linda insisted in being in Wings, even though she could only play tambourine initially … saw her live in the early days. Why do you think she wanted to live in isolation on a barren island in the Shetlands? Kept him away from temptation.
Most people dont know it, but behind all those indian pagan gods, and behind all those "gurus" are demons in disguise, and when they make you " meditate and been in a trance like state " what they are really doing is lowering your real spiritual guard ( Jesus protection ) so you can be taken by those demons in a very very suttle way and little by little till they got you totally hook on drugs, alcohol, sleeping around, totally into you and only you and depressed, suicidal, etc etc ,
and if on top of all that, you are a rock star dealing with all the satanist on the music industry, then you are a lucky winner of a trip into hell for eternity !!!!
@suzanneobrien Yes! It's very well documented that they only spent a handful of nights separate during their entire marriage!
Kind of pathetic. All of them. Nothing to do with love.
Nothing to do period, complete hedonism in those days
Sadly this reminds me of relationships I had back in the early 1970s. Free love was never really free.
Exactly. I don't know why the commenters here think that Rock/Pop musicians own the market on this. Women kind of pushed it too during the 70's. I was young and I remember but I never could detach my emotions from sex. I grew to see that I ultimately had hurt myself or knew no different due to my own childhood trauma. The only upside were men who started to complain in the 80's about being a piece of meat.
