The story of Pattie Boyd, Eric Clapton, and George Harrison is heartbreaking and fascinating. It led Eric and George to write some of the greatest love songs of all time such as Layla, Something, and Wonderful Tonight. This video follows their relationships in the 1960s and 1970s and the music that came out of this time.

This video took ages to make. I took a break from RU-vid for a few months, but not intentionally, I just couldn't get anything to work. I think I was trying too hard. I initially started this video in October '22 but I had writer's block for ages. I kept trying to write the script but I wasn't getting anywhere. It just got worse and worse. In the end, I revisited the script in early '23 and was able to make a pretty good story out of it, I'm quite pleased with how this video turned out. I didn't want to make anyone in the story appear in a bad light, EC was one of my guitar heroes when I was younger. As I write this the video has 5.4k views, but I reckon it has the potential to get some more.

@chriscummings4206 Год назад

Pardon me for my tardiness, and if this is already been mentioned. I've just started watching the video... I heard somewhere on the radio many years ago that Layla was also possibly a song about God being a female.😂 This might have been on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, so when the lyrics, she's "got me on my knees" to some possibly means prostrating, reminiscent of Muslims praying. My apologies if I'm completely off base.... I do have some books about Sufism and I'm not sure if they were mentioned when Layla was brought up on Coast to Coast AM.

I read Patti Boyd's memoir. Her marriage to George started out well. Then George found eastern religion and completely checked out. Eric was obsessed with her as long as he couldn't have her. She was in the crossfire of two immature men, and she kept trying to do the right thing in an impossible situation. The good news is that she married a third time to a real grownup and it seems to be a happy marriage.

@emilchandran546 4 месяца назад

Sure she “settled” for Harrison. I don’t think so. Cheating bothers some more than others. If you’re marrying a Beatle, the group was known to have a history of alternative lifestyles, drug taking, failed relationships, unfaithfulness, interpersonal conflict etc. They are also known for musical genius, being icons of culture, bringing eastern philosophy to the mainstream and for their wealth. There is a lot to be attracted to in George Harrison. The fact Olivia Harrison married him and was happy in that marriage does not bother me at all. Good for her. I think it’s interesting that since the sixties and seventies we’ve shed many prejudices about homosexuality and gay/lesbian relationships. We are more inclusive in so many other ways. But when it comes to infidelity it seems to be less tolerated that in was 50 years ago. I’m not saying you should accept it in your relationships. But if others want to live that way, and it’s not hurting you, then I don’t know what your problem with it is?

@silvercloud1641 4 месяца назад

Maybe she was wise enough to know there is no "perfect person" out there. A "perfect marriage" is unrealistic. There will be up's and down's in any relationship. No two people are exactly alike. Not everyone has to order the same toppings on their pizzas. If you find someone you can stick it out with though, despite some of your differences, that's all that matters.

@silvercloud1641 4 месяца назад

@@dezarayjoy4767 I agree lying and cheating is immature. Not good for a long-term trusting relationship. However like emilchandran said, not everyone shares the same views and rules on relationships. Some women enjoy threesomes and whatnot too, they just don't want to be lied to about things like anyone else. So at the same time there is nothing wrong with being poly either. But if you're going to be poly, your partner should be on the same page. Keep it fair, honest, and mature. If you have to lie or cheat, maybe that's not the right partner for either person in that relationship?

@comealongcomealong4480 4 месяца назад

@@silvercloud1641 I read a bit about George coming to LA and meeting Olivia. She was working for his LA agent/music distributor when he came in for a meeting (not sure about the exact business). The thing is Olivia knew musical artists, and knew the industry. They had shared interests in Eastern philosophies and vegetarianism from memory. Olivia was from a mixed Latino heritage. So there was that vibrant energy from a cross-cultural relationship. (The Beatles travelled the world from such a young age. It's interesting that all four were drawn to similarly international women as partners.) I'll never forget Olivia physically taking on the 2.00am intruder at their property in England. That said it all for me. When fearful danger presented, she faced it in defence of George and their son.

You missed out one of the best parts of the story, the literary inspiration for the song Layla. The name comes from a 7th-century Arabic poem, later expanded upon in a longer work by 12th-century Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi called The Story of Layla and Majnun. It's about a young man, Majnun, who falls hopelessly in love with a beautiful young girl, and when the families don't allow them to marry, he goes crazy. A book containing the poetic tale was given to Eric by Ian Dallas, a British Sufi guru later known as Abdalqadir as-Sufi, during a time when Clapton, like several other prominent musicians of the time (most notably Cat Stevens and Richard Thompson) became infatuated with Islam under Dallas' influence. Clapton never converted, unlike Stevens and Thompson, but was obviously moved by the tale and made Patti his Layla.

@duygubecerik6533 Год назад

Great to see someone mentioning this. A small addition: The name of the man in this story is actually not Majnun (or Mecnun). His original name is Kays. Majnun/Mecnun means "crazy" in Arabic. He is called "Majnun" after he was disallowed from being together with Layla.

George has always been my favorite Beatle. I've known a bit about the backstory for years, but hearing that he was so devoted to a religion that requires serious discipline, yet treated dozens of women like disposal objects to advance his own spiritual journey sounds really messed up. Definitely brings my appreciation of him as a human being down many notches.

Well, he is still my favorite. His religious beliefs have nothing to do with me and my God. I love the fact that he changed and started a life with a beautiful woman who remained his wife and soul mate till death. She also gave him a beautiful son that is so much like George...He did so much good for Bangladesh and many musicians helped including Eric Clapton. And it was his son and Eric Clapton that did the Epic concert 'George' which celebrated George's life. Very good George, you were so good, and I thank you for all the music...

You're right it is much weirder, but this isn't the story of Layla, it's the story of Eric, George, and Patti. The story of Layla involves a drummer named Jim Gordon who stole the beautiful coda of the song from his girlfriend Rita Coolidge (who still hasn't received any credit), without which it would be half a song, and only half as good (the song was released once without the piano-inspired ending and failed to chart or do anything on the radio. Later the coda was added and the song re-released to massive success). Layla was inspired by a love story that originated in 7th-century Arabia and later formed the basis of The Story of Layla and Majnun by the 12th-century Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi, a copy of which Clapton got from a friend. The book moved him so much, because it was the tale of a young man who fell hopelessly in love with a beautiful young girl, went crazy and so could not marry her. Side-note: Jim Gordon heard voices in his head, and would later go on to kill his own mum and spend the rest of his life in facilities, but that's another story. Oh and Derek & the Dominoes didn't just 'break up', Duane Allman died in an accident. Cheers P.S. imho Clapton is overrated, D and the D's album is great BECAUSE of Duane Allman's playing lol

Rita Coolidge and her then boyfriend Jim Gordon (who was friends with Eric Clapton) wrote a song that would eventually become the instrumental piano part in Eric Clapton's song "Layla", but Rita was never credited with writing it. A year earlier, Rita and Jim Gordon played their song (which had lyrics) for Eric Clapton. In a nutshell, Eric and Jim Gordon made a conscious effort to strip away the lyrics from the song that Rita and Jim wrote and incorporated the instrumental parts into Eric Clapton's song Layla, but without consulting Rita Coolidge. Rita didn't find-out about it until she heard "Layla" on the radio. Derek And The Dominos keyboardist Bobby Whitlock openly supports Rita Coolidge's claims and says he was well aware that her song was being ripped-off. If anyone questions why Jim Gordon would have done something like that, know that he went to prison in 1983 for murdering his mother.

However, I must take issue with your claim that the murder of his mother was somehow related to his character. That terrible incident was due to an unfortunate episode of paranoid psychosis, as he had developed schizophrenia which had gone undiagnosed. He'd been repeatedly misdiagnosed and treated instead for alcohol abuse. If he had become well enough whilst in prison, he surely could have sued his past doctors for malpractice. "Gordon developed schizophrenia and began to hear voices (including his mother's) which compelled him to starve himself and prevented him from sleeping, relaxing or playing drums. His physicians misdiagnosed the problems and instead treated him for alcohol abuse. [...] Only after his arrest for murder was Gordon properly diagnosed with schizophrenia." [from Wikipedia]

Pattie wrote in her book that near the end of George's life she was in "a bad place". She called George (who she admits she never stopped loving, far more than Eric) and said she was spinning out of control. George invited her to move into his Friar Park home, despite Olivia and his son Dhani living there. He said he never stopped loving her after she left him, and that it was still HER home as well. It is sad that infidelity was so much a part of George's life - it caused such pain for every woman who loved him, and damaged every relationship so deeply. Today Olivia admits HER hurt, but how she accepted it knowing Harrison's greatest love was Dhani - so he would always come back home to her for the sake of the son he adored. Pattie later married a property manager unconnected to music and is living a happy life out of the spotlight. By the way, you left out "I Need You", a VERY popular Harrison song written for Pattie and included in the Beatles movie HELP, For You Blue which was also very popular as well as several great but less popular songs.

Eric Clapton only wrote the first part of the song "Layla". Rita Coolidge wrote what was used as the coda at the end. Jim Gordon came to her initially with just an idea for a song and she sat down and basically wrote the song called "Time". Jim Gordon later presented himself as the writer of that melody and used it to get together with Clapton to write "Layla". In fact, according to Rita, when she and Jim went to visit Eric in the studio a year earlier when he was in the process of recording songs for an album, Clapton knew up front that she wrote it because she personally played the tape of the song for him and then left it with him to consider for the album. A year or so later she hears "Layla" on the radio, goes to a record shop to look at a copy of the record to see if her name is credited as a writer on it and sees that she isn't.

I read Pattie's memoir Wonderful Tonight about 10-15 years ago. Both men treated her so badly, and she just kept coming back for more and more mistreatment. It was frustrating to read, because she never seemed to come to terms with her codependency or gain any insight to why she kept putting herself in that position. Throughout the book, she makes excuses for them, and all rock-n-rollers in general, as if being creative geniuses gives them license to cr*p all over people. I hope she has found peace and healing and relationships with people more worthy of her gentle and generous spirit.

Women hope that a man will mature and appreciate them. My father once told me, "Some men think that they are TOO WONDERFUL for just one woman."

These people dont know what love is. They think it is a feeling, like hapiness or sadness. But love is a fundamental principle, like justice. You have to do a lot of work to achieve it. When it just happens spontanously then you can be certain it is not love but obssesion, infatuation or horniness.

If Patty had told both these guys to take a hike, she would have had a better life.

Evidently with Eric it was the wanting more than the getting. The forbidden fruit syndrome.

His very 1st show of the '74 tour was Yale Bowl, July 10, 1974, 50 years this coming July. I graduated highschool 2 weeks before the show.I Shot the Sheriff had just dropped, he was drunk as shit. He opened just as a monsoon cleared with Let It Rain on a covered stage in a horseshoe end zone of the bowl, 25,000, he didn't/couldn't play solo much. Stopped in the middle of Cross Roads to get in a beefsteak of the crowd. Which surged forward lifting up the stage with him on it. One of the greatest shows ever,

I guess for ppl who were only vaguely aware of the Eric, Pattie, George love triangle, it may be weirder than they thought. But for most fans of Eric and George this is all well known public knowledge and from the many interviews with Eric, Pattie and George on that matter.
