“It was good!” might be a small understatement. Legendary Clapton/Duane Allman collab.

The piano transition with Ray Liotta’s narration always sticks with me when I hear this song. RIP Ray Liotta.

Eric Clapton IS Derek, along with Carl Radle, Jim Gordon and Bobby Whitlock (3 of his band mates from Delaney, Bonnie & Friends).... however the individual that makes this entire album is the beyond magnificent "guest" Duane Allman - who is playing the higher-pitched slide and echos/refrains Clapton's vocals.... this song - actually, the whole album - was written as a tribute & plea of love to Patti Boyd Harrison, wife of Clapton's best friend, Beatle George Harrison.

Layla has been around for over 50 years, & after hearing it thousands of times, you kind of take its greatness for granted. But listening to you guys hearing it with fresh ears reminds one of the brilliance of this tune. Hearing it with you makes me hear it like I heard it the first time. Thanks guys!

The high slide guitar throughout this song that Amber is commenting on is provided by the best slide guitarist ever, Duane Allman.

After the break-up of Cream, Clapton tried his hand with several groups, including Blind Faith and the husband-and-wife duo Delaney & Bonnie. In the spring of 1970, he was told that some members of Delaney & Bonnie's back-up band, including bassist Carl Radle, drummer Jim Gordon and keyboardist Bobby Whitlock, were leaving the group. Seizing the opportunity, Clapton formed a new group with Whitlock, Radle and Gordon. Naming themselves Derek and the Dominos, the band "made our bones", according to Clapton, while backing Harrison on his first post-Beatles solo album, All Things Must Pass.

During the recording of the Layla album, Duane Allman joined Clapton's fledgling band as a guest. Clapton and Allman, already mutual fans, were introduced by Tom Dowd at an Allman Brothers concert on 26 August 1970.The two hit it off well and soon became good friends. Dowd said of their guitar-playing chemistry: "There had to be some sort of telepathy going on because I've never seen spontaneous inspiration happen at that rate and level. One of them would play something, and the other reacted instantaneously. Never once did either of them have to say, 'Could you play that again, please?' It was like two hands in a glove. And they got tremendously off on playing with each other."[16] Dowd was already famous for a variety of work and had worked with Clapton in his Cream days (Clapton once called him "the ideal recording man"); his work on the album would be another achievement. For the making of his biographical film Tom Dowd & the Language of Music, he remixed the original master tapes of "Layla", saying, "There are my principles, in one form or another."

Clapton originally wrote "Layla" as a ballad, with lyrics describing his unrequited love for Boyd, but the song became a "rocker" when, according to Clapton, Allman composed the song's signature riff. With the band assembled and Dowd producing, "Layla" was recorded in its rock form. The recording of the first section consisted of sixteen tracks of which six were guitar tracks: a rhythm part by Clapton, three tracks of harmonies played by Clapton (the main power chord riff on both channels and two harmonies against that main riff, one on the left channel and one on the right channel), a track of solos by Allman (fretted solos with bent notes during the verses and a slide solo during the outro and one track with both Allman and Clapton playing duplicate solos (the 7-note "signature" riff doubled in two octaves and the 12-note "signature" riff doubled in unison). According to Clapton, Allman played the first seven notes of the 12-note "signature" riff fretted and the last five notes on slide in standard tuning. Each player used one input of the same two-input Fender Champ amplifier.

Shortly afterwards, Clapton returned to the studio, where he heard Jim Gordon playing a piano piece he had composed separately. Impressed by the piece, Clapton convinced Gordon to allow it to be used as part of the song. Though only Gordon has been credited with this part, according to Whitlock, "Jim took that piano melody from his ex-girlfriend Rita Coolidge. I know because in the D&B days I lived in John Garfield's old house in the Hollywood Hills and there was a guest house with an upright piano in it. Rita and Jim were up there in the guest house and invited me to join in on writing this song with them called 'Time' ... Her sister Priscilla wound up recording it with Booker T. Jones ... Jim took the melody from Rita's song and didn't give her credit for writing it. Her boyfriend ripped her off. Time" ended up on the 1973 album Chronicles by Booker T. and Priscilla Jones. Whitlock's story was echoed by Coolidge herself in her 2016 autobiography. The claim is also substantiated in Graham Nash's 2014 autobiography Wild Tales.

"Layla"'s second movement (the "Piano Exit") was recorded roughly a week after the first, with Gordon playing his piano part, Clapton playing acoustic guitar and slide guitar, and Allman playing electric and bottleneck slide guitar. After Dowd spliced the two movements together "Layla" was complete.

This song touches on so many different emotions with people. I’m 61 years old, and it is absolutely my all-time, forever, favorite song. It still gives me goose-bumps, and sometimes brings a little tear-drop in my eye. Layla will always be a Classic, but was really peaking in the Summer of ‘72; which was one of the best times for me. Sadly, I can’t ever keep from thinking about little Conor Clapton when I hear this song, even though that horrible tragedy was years later. And yes, Duanes’s slide guitar, and the little “bird chirp” at the end…. I’m enjoying being a new Subscriber; keep up the great work! 👍👍👏👏⭐️⭐️💛💛

Duane Allman on slide guitar was genius! He didn't pick up a guitar until well in his teens and tragically died in a motorcycle accident at 23 leaving behind a rich musical legacy.

[chitownlee]

Clapton wrote this for George Harrisons wife who he was madly in love with. He also wrote Bell Bottom Blues and you look wonderful tonight about her. George Harrison wrote Something for her. Dwayne Allman (Allman Brothers RIP) plays slide guitar on this too.

[bajoyf]

The entire album that Layla was on was incredible.

[maritamcnichol]

Two of the greatest songs from this album, Layla & Bell Bottom Blues, were written for Patty Boyd. Clapton is great, BUT.... Duane Allman steals the show. That slide tear drop is perfection.

[kevingaynor]

Consistently considered as one of the greatest songs of all time. Oh, The FEELS!!! The reason why I called my daughter Layla.

[ryanjsgrandma]

Eric Clapton was in love with George Harrison’s wife at the time. This song was written about her. She eventually divorced Harrison and married Clapton. A classic song. Thank you peace ✌️

[rickpaul]

This is an absolute masterpiece. The contrast between the song and the outro is mystifying. Duane Allman is on another plane. He is sliding to notes that only he could find. I will always love this piece.

[wen-nzsk]

Nothing better than a little shot of Clapton with a side of Allman for a night cap!!
As beautiful as the first time I heard it. ❤
RIP Duane, we still rockin ya!! 😎

[saveriosalemme]

This song is the equivalent to music as the David of Michelangelo is to art.

[bebic]

This will always be my favorite version of Layla by Eric Clapton. Obviously, both Eric and Duane Allman are guitar geniuses (Eric being one of my favorites), but Duane's slide guitar sounds like the guitar is weeping for unrequited love. It is so haunting. And cannot forget to mention the beautiful keyboards played by Bobby Whitlock. This song is epic! And one of the most beautiful (instrumentation) songs ever recorded. You're right on, Amber. Thank you for reacting to this!

[BradReddekopp]

Even after all these years of hearing this song, the second half still gives me goose bumps. I absolutely love the first half but the instrumental part of this one is what really moves me.

[ianbarnard]

Pattie Boyd has probably had more hit songs written about her by music legends than any other person on this planet. A biography worth reading.

[stevewiley]

This girl gets it !!! So wonderful to watch her enjoying this work of art... Love the small smile of appreciation as she grooves on the coda
