Perhaps even a few of them know the song but don\u2019t know the band that recorded it, and if you told them who recorded it, they might say, \u201cBut I thought his name was Eric.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1970, Clapton formed Derek And The Dominos with Bobby Whitlock on keyboards and vocals, bassist Carl Radle, and drummer Jim Gordon. He chose the band name because he didn\u2019t want his name to overshadow the music. The epic \u201cLayla\u201d, which also features Duane Allman on slide guitar, remains a blues-rock standard. However, the band\u2019s one and only album, <em>Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs<\/em>, contains quite a few tracks worth knowing. So let\u2019s look at three of the other assorted love songs you might have missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cBell Bottom Blues\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bell Bottom Blues\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tQjxIvcGGdE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to fade away \/ In your heart I want to stay,\u201d Clapton sings about George Harrison\u2019s wife, Pattie Boyd. He punctuates his feelings for Boyd with guitar licks that echo Harrison\u2019s playing, which makes for an intriguing classic rock love triangle. The track brings to mind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/the-beatles\/while-my-guitar-gently-weeps\">\u201cWhile My Guitar Gently Weeps\u201d<\/a>, the Harrison-penned Beatles tune featuring an uncredited Clapton on lead guitar. And the weeping continues here with Clapton\u2019s earnest hook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cLittle Wing\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Little Wing\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EOW9aixXnq4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A reading of Jimi Hendrix\u2019s \u201cLittle Wing\u201d opens the LP\u2019s fourth side. It\u2019s a triumphant rework transforming the psychedelic R&amp;B of the original into a Southern rock jam. Together, Allman and Clapton construct a wall of guitars that soar, yearn, collide. The cover showcases the power of Whitlock, Radle, and Gordon\u2014highlighting why Clapton didn\u2019t want to overshadow his short-lived group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Well, she\u2019s walking through the clouds,<br>With a circus mind that\u2019s running \u2019round<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cHave You Ever Loved A Woman\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Have You Ever Loved A Woman\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HhObJK26vhQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Freddie King recorded \u201cHave You Ever Loved A Woman\u201d in 1960. It was written by Billy Myles and has since become a regular feature in Clapton\u2019s live sets. On this rendition, the guitarist stays true to his hero as he and Allman pay homage to King and connect Chicago\u2019s electrified blues to its Southern roots. It seems Clapton found a blues cover that further reflected his aching feelings for Boyd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Michael Ochs Archives\/Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most casual Eric Clapton fans know \u201cLayla\u201d.
