*DISCOGRAPHY* –>

*’LAYLA’ + OTHER ASSORTED ‘LOVE SONGS’*

.

(“derek and the dominos” were a ‘blues rock band’ formed in ‘spring 1970’ by…)

‘eric clapton’
(‘guitarist’ + ‘singer’)

‘bobby whitlock’
(‘keyboardist’ + ‘singer’)

‘carl radle’
(‘bassist’)

‘jim gordon’
(drums)
(dead ringer for ‘neil young’!)

.

(all 4 members had previously played together in “delaney & bonnie + friends”, during and after clapton’s brief tenure with ‘blind faith’)

(‘dave mason’ supplied additional lead guitar on early studio sessions and played at their first live gig)

(another participant at their first session as a band was ‘george harrison’, the recording for whose album all things must pass marked the formation of ‘derek’ + ‘the dominos’)

.

(the band released only 1 studio album…)

*’layla’ + other ‘assorted love songs’*
(produced by ‘tom dowd’)

.

(the album featured notable contributions on ‘slide guitar’ from ‘duane allman’)

.

(a double album – layla – went on to receive critical acclaim, but initially faltered in ‘sales’ + in ‘radio airplay’)

(although released in ‘1970’, it was not until ‘march 1972’ that the album’s single “layla” (a tale of ‘unrequited love’ inspired by clapton’s relationship with his friend harrison’s wife ‘pattie boyd’) made the ‘top 10’ in both the ‘united states’ + the ‘united kingdom’)

,

(the album is often considered to be the defining achievement of clapton’s career)
