That`s idiotic. Clapton may not have had a relationship w/ pattie until the middle seventies, but he was in love w/ her since the late 60`s. Face it, the song is about Pattie Boyd. If Clapton says so, why do you people still want to argue about it.

Layla was Pattie. Eric and Pattie both said straight out that it was about her. He become infatuated with her in 1969 and from then on till `74 when they got together he was obsessive over her.

I dated Eric in 01/02 and he talked in his sleep and cried for Layla so I told him I don`t think that was his ex and he said a man only has one Layla kind of love and her name was Debra. I ask if the song was about his ex and he laughed and said Debra stage name was Layla which means in Jewish a secret madly-in- love romance and said he named her Layla (his heart throb true love) in 69 from a love story he read about the far east which she decended, she is Jewish. LAYLA: night secret or hidden romance, madly in love. I know men real good and he will never get over her.

In the dvd interview called Layla he was shown the album Layla and he said the song was about someone he was madly in love with at the time (70/71.) He wasn`t mixed up with Pattie until about 75/76. Who ever the elusive Layla was Eric was nuts over her and clearly it was not Pattie.

Pattie is misleading people into thinking she was the Layla in Claptons life, she was not. He didn`t write the song, Layla wrote the song in 1970. It was not about Pattie: it was about the real Layla wrote by the real Layla the love of his life. Hell he begged Layla to marry him, for nearly four decades he chased her around with an engagement ring. If Pattie talked Clapton into letting her call herself the Layla in the song, then he`s wrong for allowing that lie to continue. He told Layla he wrote Wonderful Tonight for her, but shes not blond, she said he wrote it for Cee.
