The SECRET TRUTH Behind Eric Clapton's Layla

It's one of rock's most intense songs, but "Layla" is more than just a legendary riff—it’s a desperate plea. #songs #music #musichistory #70s #70smusic #classicrock #ericclapton #thebeatles

This is the true story behind the greatest love triangle in rock history.

We explore Eric Clapton's all-consuming, unrequited love for Pattie Boyd, the wife of his best friend, George Harrison. Discover how Clapton poured his obsession into the lyrics (inspired by an ancient Persian poem!) and how the spontaneous arrival of Duane Allman created the song's legendary, searing guitar riff. A powerful tale of rock royalty, betrayal, and artistic relief.
