    Brilliant guitarist. Acclaimed... this song is about his falling in love with his best friend ( George Harrison) wife, Patti Boyd. He's begging her" you got me on knees". They did marry ... he was a King. We all bow to clapton, including every musician . Stay safe young man Thanks

      I mean, he also abused and cheated on her, so not the greatest love story of all time. But as an artist... SUPERB!

      @JJ-rb8sc 3 года назад +1

      You are right. Once again confusing the art with the man. And now that he and Van Morrison another artist I loved is sending out that dangerous message. How sad and disappointing and terrible. Irresponsible self serving. The art is not the artist. I'm 65 yrs old and still learning that.

    Eric Clapton is known to be in the top ten of greatest R&R guitarists. He began his career in the 1960’s. This song, Layla, is from the 1970’s. He did another, much slower, rendition of this song a few years later.
    You really should play more Clapton. He’s one of my favorite solo artists.
    However, he had also sang/played in the band “Cream”, and also with “Blind Faith”, which Steve Winwood also played in.
    These two did a reunion tour back in 2009. I was lucky enough to get free tickets in great seats.
    But listen to Claptons:
    Before You Accuse Me (take a look at yourself)
    Pretending
    It’s in the Way That You Use It
    I Can’t Stand It
    After Midnight
    Change the World
    Forever Man
    Riding With the King (that he sang with BB King)
    Sleeping In the Ground
    These are just a very few of his hits.

  • @ninline2000

    You should react to his song “Wonderful Tonight “. BTW, I LOVE me some Journey too. I was a teenager when they put out their hits that you have reacted to. No other singer will have a place in my heart like Steve Perry. He actually had a little solo career after Journey. “Oh Sherry” was one of his solo hits.

    When the Layla came out in early 70s, I played Layla for my mom who grew up with Big Band music (Glenn Miller, etc). She didn't care for first part but loved the coda (the piano part at the end). You need to understand the whole story of the song - Patti Boyd, Duane Allman's part of the song, etc. Plus - there are some AMAZING songs on the album! Search "Derek and the Dominos". Soulful voices are my favorites too. I highly recommend that you explore Clapton's history of music. It's a very deep rabbit hole. As they once said "Clapton is God". You'll understand once you dive deeper. 😉
    PS - this version varies a lot from the original. I highly suggest you go to the Layla album and listen to the original. It's much better, IMO.

    Late 60s Clapton and Hendrix were the 2 guitar megastars, head and shoulders above everyone else. Clapton’s was a big rockstar in the 70s and 80s and held that position since then. During that period i believe he did a lot of coke and drink (like alot of artists in that period), been totally sober for something like 30+ years.

    clapton's widely considered one of the best rock guitarists, ever. period. because his transitions from one chord to the next are so smooth, he earned the nickname, "slow hand," with other musicians, even before he went on to gain enormous fame. and you're still cute as hell, lol.

    "In 1969, Clapton fell in love with Pattie Boyd, the wife of one of his best friends, Beatles' George Harrison. ... With the help of
    percussionist Jim Gordon, Clapton wrote a song based on his reaction to the story and called it, Layla "." Clapton hoped its message would convince Boyd to leave her husband for him." It worked.

    Some fun info for you about Mr Eric Clapton. His been inducted into the Hall of Rock n Roll Fame 3 times. One when in the band, Derrick and the Dominoes, 2nd when in the band Cream and 3rd as a Solo Artist. His played along side the God Father of Blues, B.B.King, who I think gave Erick the nickname Slow Hands, due to how Erick plays the guitar. I'm sure if I got any info wrong, that someone will correct me.

"Only You Know and I Know." You will see live versions, but this is the studio version and it is fantastic. Listen to it carefully on the headphones. It is an extremely clean recording, and you can imagine where every instrument is placed in the recording studio. ruclips.net/video/IHFWNMFyRBY/видео.html

    MTV used to have a show called "Unplugged" in which artists would perform all-acoustic versions of their music. Clapton's unplugged version of Layla became a big hit on the radio. Ever since then, the world can be divided into 2 groups: those who prefer the original by Derek & the Dominoes, and those who prefer the MTV unplugged version. Me? I much prefer the original for its fire and emotion and passion. This live performance is closer to the original record. (I still think you should listen to the original studio version.)
