I think original Layla was an Arabian princess who was made to marry some random bozo by her father (she was in love with another of course)

Then Clapton (some years later) turned it into the rock anthem we all know and love and sang it one night to a bunch of friends including George Harrison and his wife and later confessed to George he had the hots for his Mrs. (Pattie Boyd)

They did eventually marry but sadly it later crashed and burned.

Can't blame Eric for "I shot the sheriff". Bob Marley wrote that one, if I recall correctly. 🙂




This only proves my point that whoever wrote the song was doing stuff at the time!


Funny I remember EC singing it, but not Bob...when I think of Bob I think of "Dreadlock Holiday" but of course that was 10cc. This blonde day too shall pass I guess.



luckily I am the only person on dxp old enough to remember any of this stuff...
