Derek and the Dominos was a music group formed in the spring of 1970 by guitarist and singer Eric Clapton along with Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle and Jim Gordon, who had all played with him in Delaney & Bonnie & Friends. Duane Allman from the Allman Brothers Band joined the group early in the recording of their first album. They were a blues-rock band that demonstrated virtuosity at its finest, showing some of Eric “Slowhand” Clapton’s finest work.
The group debuted at the Lyceum Theatre in London on June 14, 1970 where the announcer mispronounced their provisional name of Eric and the Dynamos to Derek and the Dominos, the band decided to take up the new name and undertook a summer tour of England. From late August to early October, working at Criteria Studios in Miami with legendary Atlantic Records producer Tom Dowd, the band recorded Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, a brilliant double album now widely regarded as Clapton’s masterpiece. Most of the material, including Layla (which soon became an FM radio staple) was inspired by Clapton’s unrequited love for Pattie Boyd who was married to his best friend George Harrison. Clapton was seeing Pattie secretly at the time and Whitlock was dating her sister. It was not until much later that the affair was open; Boyd moved in with Clapton in 1974 and married him in 1979.

No sé cómo es que aguanté tanto tiempo sabiendo de la existencia de la banda pero sin haber escuchado, ahora no puedo parar de escucharla, qué pedazo de banda. Clapton es lo más cercano a lo que se le puede considerar un "dios", definitivamente.

@stealyourface; do you know how stupid it is to lose respect for a magazine because they don't declare an album you like one of the ten greatest of all time? IT'S PRETTY FUCKING STUPID... lols
