That's Eric singing lead. He had this band from 1970-1971. He'll make you forget your pain. Seriously. Dude's on a whole nother level. And Duane is a guest on this one. Their collaborations were mostly blues. Unmatched.
@kj robbi
tend to agree. Eri
c i
s much-maligned but no-one has influence guitarist or guitar playing more than him.
Derek and the Dominos was just a one-time project (rather than a band) that a bunch of major, huge musicians got together to make. Some did a little collaboration on some Delaney & Bonnie and Friends tracks as well. It wasn't, like, a band making just one album. It was well established rock gods doing a thing.
The most recognizable opening riff in rock.
Derek and the Dominos were not "one-hit wonders." They were legends!
This was their only hit.
Ya, when he said "one-hit wonders", I smiled. As if. "Derek" was not prolific, but Eric sure was.
@@porflepopnecker4376The album s a HUGE COLOSSAL HIT OF TALENT and still popular today
@@VIDSTORAGE yeah the album could be popular but Layla was the only hit
@@jorritwaleveld55 Pink Floyd hardly had any hit singles either...... It was a weird album release without a name recognition and had a hard time being noticed with the name DERECK .It had a bad start but has reached great heights of notoriety since then . / .Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs was issued in November 1970. According to Shapiro, relative to the band and Dowd's high expectations, it was a "critical and commercial flop".[71] Clapton similarly describes Layla as having "died a death" on release.[72] Although it received favourable reviews in Rolling Stone and The Village Voice, the album missed the top ten in the United States and failed to chart at all in the United Kingdom, until a reissue on CD resulted in a one-week stay at number 68 in 2011. It garnered little attention,[73] partly as a result of a lack of promotion by Polydor, and partly due to the public's ignorance of Clapton's presence in the band.[71] Dowd said that he "felt it was the best album I'd been involved with since The Genius of Ray Charles" and was disappointed at the lack of acclaim it initially received.[73]
"Layla" was included on The History of Eric Clapton in 1972, and Atlantic issued the song as a single in July that year.[71] It became a hit, reaching number 10 in America and number 7 in Britain.[74] The success of the title track in 1972 led to a reappraisal of Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. It has since received widespread critical acclaim and has been ranked among the best albums of all time by VH1 (at number 89).[75] and Rolling Stone (number 115).[76] Layla is considered one of Clapton's most outstanding achievements.
Eric Clapton and Duane Allman. Doesn’t get much better than this.
Bobby Whitlock wasn't overly impressed; "According to Whitlock, Allman was "a hired gun" and an "unnecessary" addition; Whitlock added, "He played with us twice, and it was not good both times he played, because he was not a fluid player ... He could play parts, but he couldn’t sing with his guitar." The jams from Allman's first night at Criteria with the Dominos were issued on the second CD of The Layla Sessions: 20th Anniversary Edition in 1990.[66]
Amen.
@@normandavidtidiman9918 Could not sing with his guitar, think about that.
@@ericanderson8886 what point are you making?
Because of the subject most people don't remember Duane Allman.
Probably one of the most recognizable riffs of all time. The great Eric Clapton.
And as many don't know... the riff was written and performed by Duane Allman.
@@SkyDog59 I had heard that Eric wrote the verses and Duane wrote the riff.
The crowd goes nuts on the riff alone!!!! Cause we know what is coming!!!
The great Duane Allman is more like it. He is performing and wrote the guitar riffs.
Ah-hem, Bell Bottom Blues got a good deal of play...Layla is Patti Harrison. Wife of George Harrison, and the cause of much pain. I respectfully disagree about this being a one-hit-wonder. I cannot tell you the number of times I've listened to the album in its entirety and it's a masterpiece.
took the words right out of my mouth
@@wendyt7958 is the album called Bell Bottom Blues?
@@monica11760 no, it's a song on the same Derek and the Dominoes LP.
@Deborah Dean According to Google this was only U.S. hit. I searched hard so Jayvee prob found what I did. Bell Bottom Blues was hit in the U.K.
I agree, hardly a One Hit Wonder. Layla, Bell Bottom Blues, Blues Power, Tell The Truth, and a bunch more
Has to be one of the best songs ever written. The end piano section never fails to give me goosebumps. Clapton wrote this about George Harrisons wife who he was in love with. He made some great songs but this has to be his crowning glory
The end bit of this song haunts me takes me back over twenty four yrs ago sitting in hosp when my son had had horriific double rd accident no hope but he did pull through heard this song as nurses went for tea brake could hear it x
The piano coda was written by Rita Coolidge.
ALA_Legend 02 I think i saw that on “All my children “ LOL i get what your saying!
There's actually a story about the piano section was not supposed to be part of the song. It seems one on the backup musicians was using the studio for his own music after hours and Eric Clapton caught him at it. They compromised that if he wanted to use the studio he had to give him this piano peice.
Lidia Pereira It was drummer Jim Gordon. He was dating Rita Coolidge at the time. The piano part was originally a demo they co-wrote called “Time (Don’t Let The Word Get In Our Way). Jim stole the piano part and attached the end of “Layla” and never credited Rita.
This was a song Eric wrote about being in love with his best friends wife. Best friend was George Harrison from the Beatles. Her name was Patti but he had to hide who it was about. Eventually they got together and married. He and George actually stayed friends. Amazing
George referred to them as "husbands-in-law".
Patti Boyd was the blond school girl on the train in "Hard Day's Night". It's where she met George Harrison, George wrote "Something" about her.
MyrnaMinkoff Imagine having George Harrison & Eric Clapton both writing songs about you. That’d have to give you a bit of an ego🤣
@@susanmaggiora4800 I think Pattie Boyd wrote a book about what it was like to be their muse.
@@rebeccamaracle2878 Bros before Hos.
Can't listen to this song without thinking of the scene from "Goodfellas" when they were finding bodies everywhere
Yikes. And the song 'White Room' was in that movie too.
I'm glad I'd already formed prior powerful associations in my mind with Layla before watching Goodfellas.
Yea me either ✌️♥️
@@plk5520
Yep. Seriously, it brings back childhood memories of a particular sweet summer of beaches and girls in 1971 or 72. Way better then movie association I think.
@@plk5520 Same here. Even though I saw Goodfellas many times, when I started hearing this song again here, the 70s came to mind first.
One of the best songs in all of rock n roll history.
Eric Clapton is singing. This song is about him loving George Harrison’s wife!
What?! I knew it was Eric, but I didn't know the rest.
@@sabrinamarkos7099 And Eric went on to marry her. Her name is Pattie Boyd.
@@sabrinamarkos7099 As I hear, the second of three well known songs about the same woman. "Something" by George and "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric
This is super duper. Very enjoyable. Jovaughn is getting the cream of the crop, of the one hit wonders.
@@dunismith3045 True, but at first she was unimpressed by this song that was inspired by Eric Clapton's love for her.
the piano section was playing as my youngest daughter was born 4 years ago
Listing to this for the first time.... you Sir, are a lucky man.
This is possibly the greatest album ever. You could react to every song on it and love them all.
I completely agree. In my opinion the best piece of work Clapton was ever part of
Just an iconic song standing the test of time.
Another one of those "One of the Greatest Rock Songs." We had some FINE music back then!!
Just so happens this is considered by many as THE greatest rock tune of all time but the album contains other hits !!!!!!!!!
Endless summer, cruising with windows down and Layla blasting.
Please do Derek and the dominoes “bell bottom blues”
Yes. Please do.
That's a beauty
kj robbi I love the lyrics in it, so good
Didn't see your comment but I recommend it too.
@@blacklexus3965 that and his vocals in it😍 but that 24 Nights concert is my all-time favorite.
The coda is the cool down counter balance to the insane passion Clapton was putting across.
Good description
There was a time when people would say this was the best rock song of all time....hehe.
I was already a rocker when I was young. But then this song hit the airwaves and that sealed the deal. This song absolutely blew me away. The power of it, the longing in his voice, lightening fast guitar, it was done.
I bleed every time you say “one hit wonder” and “who ever is singing”
eric clapton was popular not the band
@@nir9670 Eric only????
Ever heard of Leon Russell?
Bass player, Carl Radle worked with Leon for years.
Jim Gordon, the ego tripper, was one of the greatest drummers of all time. Everybody wanted him for studio session work.
Duane Allman. Slide master that Eric was in awe of. Leader of the Allman Brothers Band.Really? Just Clapton?
Bobby Whitlock played organ for Delaney and Bonnie and friends. He was one of the friends...so was Clapton. They played together on George Harrison's, 'All Things Must Pass'.
I didn't tell the whole story either.
He's discovering new music.... chill...
@@Liofa73 lol exactly
Don’t fault the young-ones, they just don’t know any better!!! I was introduced very young to all types of music.
What you hear are pure, unfiltered anguish, pain and passion. The emotions are real and raw.
My granddaughter was named after this song!
I've met 2 Layla's & 1 Rhiannon so far! ( all w/parents that were my age!😅Love it!🎸
Allison Young They’re both beautiful names. I wanted to name my youngest daughter Rhiannon. My husband wouldn’t go for it. 👍😎💖
@@turdferguson400 Aw, - I luv them too , but these kids were forced 2 hear everyone sing when they told them their names~ 🙋Like MY crazy ass!"LAAYYYLLA!!"🤣
Allison Young 😂😂👍 Cool mate! 😎
@@turdferguson400 😆
Eric Claptons “Slow Hand” album was great. Cocaine, wonderful tonight, Lay down Sally.
Eric Clapton spents many weeks if not months visiting the “Mississippi Delta” playing with many of the original blues singers and songwriters. He loves the sound. Great talent! Many memories ❤️
He also did a great and very different acoustic version of this song.
Ya, the acoustic version is good, but this version is the all-time best.
I only new the accoustic version of this song until now. Thanks Jay.
I would also agree that this version is more iconic than the acoustical version. However I cannot think of another song with the same artist recorded in two different ways that are both amazing. It truly does represent what incredible artist Eric Clapton is.
The piano part is just one of the best parts of any song ever, it just sends me into another mindset! Thanks again for giving us another great reaction!
Drummer Jim Gordon took credit for writing it. Actually, it was written by his gf Rita Coolidge (and her sister).
Bobby Whitlock? I think
M Whitehead Yep.
Yes! That piano part is GREAT! Especially the walk down the part when it transitions back and forth to the guitar. It is so meditating as if you were lying on a raft in the ocean and you were feeling these smooth rolling waves. I hope my description makes sense.
@@RayRay-zt7bj Yes! That does make sense! I always found it hard to explain how it made me feel in my head, but your description is very accurate!
I love listening with you! You are so appreciative!This music is like a time machine for me. Happy memories from my youth.
My youth sucked !! Music WAS my happy.
This was about his best friend's wife Patti Boyd. As others have said, he had to hide the fact he was singing about her. "Wonderful Tonight" was about her too. I think her husband, George Harrison wrote a song about her too. Imagine being the kind of woman that inspired so many iconic, amazing songs.
Ms Tee between Eric Clapton, George Harrison, and The Beatles there are 10 songs attributed to her.....quite the muse❤️
George wrote Something in the way she moves for Patti. So yea not only does she get songs written about her, but they are all timeless classics.
There was no hiding anything these three people handled this like real loyal friends...George and Eric remained lifelong best friends
@@blackhawkwon6017 George referred to Eric and himself as "husbands-in-law"
George Harrison wrote 'Something' for her
The slow version he did of this song is smoldering hot too.
Never cared for that slowed down version.
Yes, please review it
Might be my favorite song of all time. And that's a lot coming from a Beatlemaniac!
Eric Clapton and Duane Allman from the Allman Brothers were Derek and the dominoes!
Jim Gordon on piano..dang!
Not actually true. Allman was not an ACTUAL member of the Dominoes,merely a guest on the LP
Really, I did not know that. How did a Brit and a southern rock guy get together? That must be a great story.
Cynthia Johnson Actually, they had each heard of the other and appreciated each other’s talent. The story goes that Derek and Dominos were not quite getting the sound then enter Duane Allman and they found their sound!
@@sylviafarese8837 : Cool, did Duane go to England or did Eric come to the U.S?
Derek & The Dominos Layla album is one of THE BEST ALBUMS EVER MADE!!! I am 65 years old and really enjoy your reactions...been meaning to send you Derek & The Dominos for some time for your reaction because it is probably one of my favorite albums of ALL TIME. I come from the day when you used to have to plunk down $15 to $20 bucks for an album (which was a lot of money back then) and often times there was only one good song on it. :( But on this Derek & The Dominos album, EVERY SONG IS EFFING GREAT!!!! Don't know what was wrong with the American people back then that only 1 song was a hit (are you sure that is correct, because Bell Bottom Blues was very popular too.) But Layla & Bell Bottom Blues are not my favorites, although I love them too. Check out 'Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad' and 'Thorn Tree in My Garden.' Oh hell...JUST LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM, EVERY SONG IS EFFING GREAT!!! I actually have the entire album saved in my RUclips list, because I said I was going to send them to you...so if you want me to, I will send you all the links and you don't have to do the leg work. Let me know...and keep on keeping us entertained and reliving our own wonderful memories of this music. Much love.
Same age as you and agree 100%
When and where did you pay $15 to $20 bucks for an album? I began purchasing new vinyl record albums in 1978 at Tower Records for about $5.99. Single 45s were less than $1.
@@PK-hw5go 1965 to 1972, in Pueblo, CO. There was no Tower Records in Pueblo. But I do remember the price of albums significantly dropping after '72. But in my neck of the woods tthey were still between $10-$15.
@@DebsTubes4u Gee... sounds expensive. I bought them in So Cal. 45s were less than a dollar. Maybe changes in technology resulted in lower the prices. I bought a 19" Sony tv or $600 in 1983. That was considered expensive, but Sony was one of the best. I like today's tv prices much better !!
@@PK-hw5go yeah, I'm sure it had to do with newer tech and also the location. You lived in CA, I lived in a small town in CO.
Touches my very soul.
A Clapton song that is similarly impressive is "Let it Rain" from Clapton's first solo album released 1970 (the same year as "Layla").
Awesome... Check out "Bell Bottom Blues" from this same album... Fantastic song.
Eric clapton wrote and sang this son for George Harrison wife who he was in love with.He ended up with her and also wrote and sang wonderful tonight about her
One of my all time favourites. I've been looking forward to you playing this.
Sorry to hear about your pain x
One of the best guitar riffs ever
I always think of "Goodfellows" when I hear this song play.
After hearing it on AM radio I couldn't wait to hear it properly.
AM radio, I don’t think younger people get the reference
Clapton singing....literally singing his heart out ....
I absolutely love watching your reactions. You have such an honest and deep respect for the music. Thank you
He does a slowed down version as well, in the 90s I believe
You've got to read the background on the song. Eric Clapton loving George Harrisons wife! Eric Clapton was the singer.
Hope you feel better soon
Omg they all mixed up their bands, tight knit crowd! Some of the bands didn't last long... But they all kept playing, creating more masterpieces🤩
The #1 Greatest Rock and Roll song of all time.
Duane was a session player in Muscle Shoals Alabama. Clapton heard Wicked Wilson Pickett's cover of the Beatles' Hey Jude, featuring Duane's guitar playing. That collaboration was the Beginning of Southern Rock. You can hear that on RUclips, too.
After that, Duane moved across town to Sheffield to work with the Famous Swampers at Muscle Shoals Sound. Duane was living in a little log cabin on the banks of the Tennessee River in Sheffield where he fished, wrote songs and music and put together a band that would become The Allman Brothers Band. The log cabins are gone but not the aura of the place.
Clapton called Duane in Sheffield and told him that they just had to do something together! The result? You're listening to it.

One of my two favourite Eric Clapton songs, the other being Badge by Cream. I love your channel Jayvon and the enthusiastic reactions you show to all your videos. I look forward every day to what you are going to react to next. Definitely the best music reaction channel I've come across.
So glad you loved “Layla”. It’s a classic that gives me the chills every time I hear it. Kudos to Duane Allman for the exceptional slide guitar work ❤️
I was a young lad back in the sixties working gigs on weekends and had the awesome pleasure of watching Eric Clapton from no more than three feet away playing in the band John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers,don’t remember the date, but probably around 1965/66.
Amazing.
One of the most impactful and beautiful songs ever written
A great early 80s one hit wonder is "The Beat Goes On/switching to Glide" it was on the radio constantly.
Yeah! Chill out, guys! 😂😂💖👍
I would have never classified Derek & The Dominos as one hit wonders! They are awesome rock legends! Oh my youth!!
One of the best most iconic opening guitar riffs ever !
Actually, yeah, he did win "Layla" (Patti Boyd) over from his best friend, George Harrison (yes, that George Harrison - who also worked in studio with Clapton on the Dominos project). Not a good story, but boy did it generate a song for the rock pantheon.
George was already messing with Ringo's wife Maureen (first wife), and wasn't exactly fighting to keep Pattie. As Pattie tells it, anyway.
Classic guitar riff.
I was 10 years old when this came out. I’m 60 now and still listening to Eric Clapton. His music has no end! Old rock granny I am.
One of the most iconic songs in all of rock. Eeeeeeverybody knows this one! :)
It's time to do the Allman Brothers and their live version of "Whipping Post". Jim Gordon, the drummer here, wrote the beautiful piano part in this song. What a sad history that guy had. The truth is every song Clapton wrote on this album was a plea to Patti to accept his love and marry him. She is often quoted as saying when she finally heard the album she was flattered, shocked and perhaps a bit upset. I never saw this band, although at the time I sure had my chances. But I did see Eric with Stevie Winwood when they played in NYC with their band Blindfaith. It was their only NYC appearance.
Sad story about Gordon? The dude was all messed on drugs and then killed his own mother with a hammer! I believe he's still locked up.
@@selmonb921 ...and that's not sad? What sociopathic planet do you live on? When the police walked in the door Gordon said something like "I finally killed the demon bitch. She's in there". I suppose that Marvin Gaye's death, where it was basically suicide by dad isn't sad either?
Technically, this was the only hit by Derek & the Dominos, but "Bell Bottom Blues", which I recommend, is something of an FM radio classic.
Yea I heard bell bottom blues on my way home tonight 👍✌️♥️
_Why does love got to be so sad, Key to the highway, Tell the truth..._ it's a cornucopia.
This song and GFRs I'm Your Captain were the first songs that I remember when I first discovered "FM" radio as a kid. Opened my world to SO much music!
Anybody who plays the piano loves this song. It is a must in the playlist. I drove my piano teacher crazy when I found the sheet music for this song back in the day.
vocals and earlier guitar parts by Eric Clapton (mostly) unforgettable slide guitar solo by Duane Allman (R.I.P.).
Duane is playing the riff and guitar throughout the first part of the song, too. He isn’t just playing the slide during the Coda.
This is an awesome album! "Layla" was actually Patti Boyd.
Hi from UK, absolutely loved this, it was very much part of my teenage years, we all put this on the juke box for weeks , thanks for the reaction and memories 😀😉🌶😊🤗🤩
Good childhood memories of 1971 living in Ridgewood, Queens, NYC - always liked this song.. totally forgot about it! Haven't heard it in years!
Duane Allman and Bobby Whitlock were as great as Eric was on this ..Without Bobby's piano style and the slide guitar by Duane ,this song would not have been the same..
Duane wrote the riff and plays most of the lead throughout the first half of the song, too.
@@ugadawgs1990 YEP and Jim Gordon ,drummer ,,he got that piano opening from Rita Coolidge or Rita's sister that was playing it and he heard it and it became the iconic piano ending for this song .
Sorry your hurt pray you heal fast and it’s just something simple good song 🥰
One of my favorite albums of all time ❤️
One of my all time favorites. Brilliant reaction s usual! Thanks and hope you are feeling better.
Derek and the Dominoes did this album and a double "Live in Concert" album.
I am thrilled yesssssssssssssssssssssddd
One of the greatest songs ever made.
Yes it's Eric on vocals and lead, famously written for Patti, the wife of George Harrison with the Magnificent Duane Allman on slide guitar. Lovely Bobby Whitlock on piano, Carl Radle on bass . Jim Gordon on drums. Look up what happened to him. All the same this is musical history. Thanks for your lovely reaction. ❤️
You should react to " San Francisco " by Scott McKenzie, and also " Pray for You " by Jaron and the Long Road to Love.
Jackie Wilson: lonely teardrops.
Layla was released back in 1972 by Derek and the Dominos as a single in support of its parent album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs.
Singing lead vocals is Eric Clapton and the guitar he used when Derek and the Dominos recorded Layla was a desert sunburst Fender Stratocaster named Brownie and when Fender released the Eric Clapton Brownie Stratocaster, it was dubbed The Layla Guitar.
Playing slide guitar is Duane Allman of The Allman Brothers Band and the piano part at the end was played by Jim Gordon.
Because it was a big hit, Eric Clapton included the song in his solo concerts and the song became popular again thanks to his acoustic version from the album Eric Clapton Unplugged which was released in 1992.
The 1972 version hit #1 on the Puerto Rican Singles Chart, #7 on the UK Singles Chart, #10 on the US Billboard Hot 100, #14 on the US Cash Box Singles Chart and #12 on the US Record World Singles Chart.
Hey Blood !! This song helped get me through Army basic training in 1972 !! It's my main "driving" song to this day !! Lead singer was Eric Clapton.
This song was his tribute to George Harrison's wife, Patti Boyd...a woman that Clapton loved and eventually married.
Not the right song for a day with a sore body. Nope! they had other hits but they did split up after a short while. Eric is singing. His guitar, his song, his voice. One of my favorite rock songs of all time. Let It Rain is also a great song from this band and Bell Bottom Blues. Layla was a girl named Patty who was George Harrison's (Beatles) wife or girlfriend. Eric was so enamored with her and later she split from George and got together with Eric and they remained together for a long time. George is playing guitar on this song as well though I don't know if he is credited. Eric also played the guitar on Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." Eric and George were lifetime friends in spite of the whole Patty thing.
"Let it Rain" is also on their "in concert" album too... Great version.
The studio version of "Let It Rain" is Clapton solo, not Derek & the Dominos.
Actually both the men treated her pretty badly ,neither stayed with her both too engrossed in their own concerns .Mind you ,both had amazing musical carrers
Always a great choice.
G-d! We had such a wealth of talent in the 60s, 70s and 80s!
Top 10 All-Time Rock song, for sure. Saw Eric perform this live at Live Aid in 1985. Memorable.
It may be a “one hit wonder”, but it’s a TRUE CLASSIC! You should listen to
Clapton’s acoustic rendition.
I like this version so much, not the slowed down version he did later in his solo career. Better vibes imo
one of my favorite songs all-time! HAD TO CLICK!!!!!!
First time I heard this song I had the same reaction! Just fantastic music!
this is not their only hit..Clapton has a very soulful voice. Listen to Bell Bottom Blue
Bell bottom blues another cool song by them
Oh my gosh I love this song. It's such a up beat song. From the start. I had forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder.
This track takes you on a ride. You’ll never forget it after hearing it. It haunts like a ghost in your heart.
Clapton is singing.
Layla was Patty Boyd,who was married to George Harrison at the time.
In my opinion, the greatest guitar riff in rock and roll history.
Thank you so much thats is one of my top 5 songs ever
From Montreal Quebec Canada xx Im Mitzy
Eric Clapton has always been a success. Great album. Youre terrific Jayvon!!
I love this song, but I prefer Clapton's unplugged version from the early 90s! You really should do a comparison reaction!
YAY! I'm glad you did this one. I knew you'd like it, especially for the guitar and for the switch-up at the end. This is one of those songs that you'd stay in your car to finish listening to - all the way to the end - even if you were late for an appointment. LOL
It feels to me like the first part is a desperate and despondent man in love screaming "can't you see me? I've been here for you every step of the way! Why do you keep going back to him?" Then that little pause is like her finally stopping herself from repeating the same mistake, looking around, seeing him there (still and again), and the realization of the beautiful truth starts to flow into her.....and her life and his life become THEIR life...off into the sunset.
Sorry you're sore today...takes a few to get over it, so take it easy.
One of the most famous songs ever
