Jim Gordon killed his mother. Duane Allman died in a car crash. Car Radle overdosed everything. Yet, we all remember Derek And The Dominos and their album "Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs" with one of the best rock songs of all time "Layla". Today it's album's 40th anniversary. It was their one and only ever released album. But, the band was also Clapton, Harrison and Boyd and their weird bittersweet musical love triangle, that added bitterness to "Layla". Sharp, emotional music was perfect back in a day and is perfect now. Somehow, it is also a burden for Clapton, since he is the only one who succeeded in pursing music as a career. The rest of the band is either dead, forgotten or on jail food for the rest of the days.
But, let's all remember the old good times.
(btw: in today's X-factor - polish edition, one of the contestants totally rocked that song!Will try to add the video of it to the post when it's out in a good quality.)
As promised above, here is a performance from last night's polish edition of X-Factor (it was a movie songs night) when one of the contestants (Gienek Loska, who is my favorite on the show) sang the song. I hope you'll like it!
xoxo,
