If not for Rita Coolidge, the song "Layla" would not exist. But he never gave her credit - or money.
Look it up. It's verifiable fact.
Eric Clapton is such a scumbag, man.
Oh 100% agree on Clapton being a scumbag. All you have to do is really listen to the lyrics of “Promises” to know what a passive-aggressive, abusive turd he is toward women.
I refuse to listen to his songs anymore. Not as protest, but because I can't hear them without thinking about how disgusting he is.
I was a huge fan in his early days. Feels like another part of my past that's been burned to the ground.
So not only was it a love song about his actual best friend’s wife, he stole the best part from Rita. No surprise he’s turned into what he is. What a fucking dickwhistle.
