The Story of Layla

I've been intrigued by this famous rock triangle for years.
Being a huge George fan and an even bigger Clapton fan I know just how tight and unique the friendship between the two was. All of this despite a little detail in their history, when one wrote an entire album expressing his love for his his best friend's wife, and then married her.

I collected a number of articles about this story you might enjoy reading. A few things I learned from this little hunt, I didn't know before finding them:

• "I am Yours", another song from "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs", is also heavily influenced (and perhaps copied?) from the tale of Layla and Majnun.

• After Eric divorced Pattie, George and him called themselves The two Ex husband-in-law. Ouch.
  
  
• After Eric and Pattie married, they joined George in recording "Bye Bye, Love", a song awkwardly fitting their strange situation
