I knew about this history. Patty Boyd married George Harrison in 1966 & they divorced in 1977. She then married Eric Clapton in 1979 & they divorced in 1989. Patty inspired 4 of George Harrison's songs "I Need You", "If I Needed Someone", "Something" & "For You Blue" & Eric Clapton's songs "Layla", "Bell Bottom Blues" & "Wonderful Tonight". Amazing that George & Eric remained friends despite this. Harrison even called Clapton his "husband-in-law".
Didn't exactly steal her.... George sort of gave her away to his friend. In George's mind, it was the right thing to do spiritually. I don't know what to say about that.
thats a common belief, but no its not true. patty caught george in bed w ringo's wife and immediately left him. it wasnt till after that she got w clapton who happened to be georges close close friend!
This was something different, Sarah. I enjoyed it! I grew up while all this was going on, but I enjoyed your reaction. Best!
Nicely presented
Stealing isn't an accurate word. George used to jokingly refer to Eric as his guitarist-in-law.
Now that you know the backstory, you need to react to Eric Clapton's Layla!! And Wonderful Tonight.
Love the Elvis hat!! 😃
Strangely enough some really beautiful songs came out of it.
George and Eric remained friends…George’s spirituality was a part of it ….she , in some way, was just another material thing….
