Eric: Really? George: Yeah. Eric: You're okay with it? George: Yeah man, you wrote a song about her. Eric: You did too. George: No, it's okay. (looks at Pattie Boyd who's been sitting there whole time) Are you okay with this? Pattie: Yeah. George: (looks at Eric) Alright see ya, have fun!

Eric: How bout this , your wife is mine and the guitar is yours George : Sounds like a good deal

Fall in love with your best friend's wife? Been there done that. "Layla"

" got to get you into my wife "

The Piano part has always been my favorite part! That's the part that launches the song into a higher orbit!

I named my only child layla. I love the song but the story behind the song is what made me pick the name. My daughter is very beautiful and it suits her.

Whoever says "Duane Allman's guitar is out of tune" doesn't understand the terms "guitar " and "out of tune" It's the only thing in the song that's in tune.

Duane’s guitar is perfectly in tune. I’ve heard his channel isolated and it sounds wonderful.

Her idea that they had this strong competition between each other and Eric just wanted whatever George had seems fitting. He pursued her for a long time and then treated her worse than George did.

Okay but his name wasn't actually "majnon", majnoun in arabic literally means crazy, the guy's name was actually "kais bin al mulawah" he was a poet nicknamed "majnoun layla" which means the dude who's crazy about layla

The slide is not off key. It is clearly "out" but I believe it is intentionally so to give the song a feeling of cries of anguish in the background.

Raunak Shikhar Harrison cheated on Patti like crazy. He was addicted to women the same way he was addicted to hard drugs in the late 60s/early to mid 70s. The Scorsese documentary goes over this and many close to Harrison talk about his infidelity.

@@pts5217 Yeah, yeah. I've seen that. The thing is, all three of them were well known for infidelity. Pattie cheated on Harrison with someone as well. And George was famous for it, going to sleep with Maureen Starkey. I am aware of that. I think at that time, it was just normal among rockstars to do that or something. I just meant that Clapton was all crazy about Pattie before, got married to her, cheated on her as well, had a son out of that affair and expected Pattie to help him raise that kid. It's awful what happened to his son, but, the cheating after being married to Pattie part was what I focused on.

The piano and out of tune slide guitar is what makes the song great!

Great song one of the best rock songs ever. Great video!

Hell yeah!! I absolutely love this song. Thankyou for making a vid about it :) P.s I’ve got your album on Apple Music. It would be so cool to work with you someday.

If Dwayne's slide guitar was out of tune, then that was the way he wanted it. And if Eric and/or Tom Dowd didn't like the sounds Dwayne was putting out, there would have been changes. I'm sure the song was not completed until Eric and Tom were completely satisfied with it. After all, Eric wrote it to win Patti's love so I know he wanted it to be the perfect expression of his feelings. I'm sure those high notes are there to express the passionate turmoil a man is in because of his unrequited love. '.....piano coda in the middle is a mess.'? What is he talking about? It's fantastic!

Rita Coolage is actually the orginal writer of the music.She should have been given credit for her part that she wrote.

Only a true friend will get rid of your wife for you.

I was a rare book dealer. Many years ago I purchased a poetry book printed in Edinburgh I believe in the 1600s. On page 16 was a poem called Golden Slumbers and it was pretty much the lyrics to the Beatles song. I had a photo copy of the page but lost it somewhere along the way. I have since found the song was based on Cradle Song an English lullaby. I believe the poem l found was Scottish.

It's well known that Paul was messing around on the piano one day at his father's house, and came across the "Golden Slumbers" sheet music. He loved the lyrics, but as he couldn't read music, he couldn't play the song, so he composed his own melody.

For some reason the thought of 50,000 people gathering around a single fire is so beautiful to me.

For doing a song about loving your friends wife, you never made a note about why George Harrison was a good sport about it. Maureen and George slept together despite Ringo being a brother and band mate with George

I just started listening to this song.

The Layla coda is the best part of the song

Not then not now nor ever will Eric Clapton play a better slide part then Duane Allman

I think it's one of Claptons better songs. Don't really know why these rock stars were so crazy over this chick but at least her being around gave them some inspiration for some good tunes.

Someone propably cleared that out already, but as a music fanatic I gotta do my part. So yes, the intro guitar riff was already there, but not by Clapton. It's the melody of the begging of a verse in "As the Years Go Passing By" by Albert King. Duane had this song in his head in the begging of the reahersals and simply played it a little faster than usual. Eric loved. And a final point. The song was pratically done. But Clapton felt there was something missing. That something was found when him found Jim Gordon (the drummer) playing the outro piano sequence after studio hours, at night. He loved it and asked to use it on Layla. Thats it! Sorry to bother. This is some knowledge I thought I could share. Aaaaand no. The guitar is not out of tune. It's way he plays it. If you want, I can link some videos here.

Yeah the story wasn’t arabian tho. Farsi is a totally different language from arabic and the poet that wrote the poem is also not arab, Layla (or as iranians call it, Leyli) and Majnun is a poem written by Nezami Ganjavi in farsi. It’s really intriguing when people mix up out language with some other languages. Please respect our culture

I always noticed thar Duane was out of tune. I also remember Clapton himself saying that Duane was playing the lick,he licked it and they incorporated it into the song. He did say that he and Duane really hit it off musically and in his mind he thought of Duane as a member of the band. In tune or out it is a great tune.

While it's a killer song, in my opinion, neither Duane nor Eric can claim credit for creating the opening riff. The melody for the riff was directly ripped from the Albert King song "As the Years Go Passing By" and was just sped up.

Wrong Bu... Harrison was good and perfect for The Beatles. Since The Beatles are considered the best band of all time by most, you got to figure he was damn good. He wasn't a shredder or a rock "god" breaking trail like his friend Clapton, but he knew how to make good music with strings on a fretboard. And isn't that the point of it all?

Actually, I think its a boring song, I always change the channel when it comes on, Badge or Crossroads are the best
