Others have mentioned the background of this song, so I'll just say that the Eric Clapton rabbit hole is deep. He's considered one of the GOAT's of guitarists. His background is blues. Check out his bands the Yardbirds, Cream, Derek and the Dominos, Blind Faith, and Delaney and Bonnie, plus his long solo career. Signature songs also include Layla (both electric and acoustic versions are fabulous), Wonderful Tonight, Lay Down Sally, Cocaine, I Shot the Sheriff (cover of the Bob Marley song). Others may have more favorites.

Great reaction. Tragic story behind the song. Eric is and will always be, one of the most unique and soulful modern Blues Players. (As opposed to traditional Blues fron the '20's and '30's. His vocal styles are incredibly unique t too. Please check out tracks from the Albums "Money and Cigarettes" AND "August". He's a very special Blues man.

This song was used in a movie called Rush but it was written for his son who tragically fell from a high rise building and it an amazing song from Eric.

White room by Cream that you reviewed . Eric Clapton was the lead guitarist of Cream. The 3 members of Cream were considered the Cream of the musicians hence the name of the Band.

Clapton was also the singer in Derek And The Dominos. You need to react to the studio version of "Layla" by them. So whatever you do, please just make sure it is the Derek And The Dominos version for some AWESOME ELECTRIC GUITAR and PIANO playing. 🙏

Yeah there was some sort of a movie that use that song or something but yeah you know what I love about that song it's got the steel pedal guitar in it it's nice to hear that out of the context of just country music and and there was a fretless bass that's awesome I can tell by the way the action is very cool

Listen to Eric Clapton Layla , Little Queen of Hearts , he’s had so many hits since 1967. Inducted into the R&R hall of fame at least twice . He’s a soulful singer , one of the top five guitarist

I really can't comprehend the pain he must have felt writing and performing this song...
