"Layla" is a song written by #EricClapton and #JimGordon, originally recorded with their band #DerekAndTheDominos, as the thirteenth track from their only studio album, #LaylaAndOtherAssortedLoveSongs (1970). Its contrasting #movements were composed separately by Clapton and Gordon. The piano part has also been controversially credited to #RitaCoolidge, Gordon's girlfriend at the time.

Bobby Whitlock
Another Domino falls? Derek and the Dominoes keyboard player, harmony vocalist, and more often than not co-writer Bobby Whitlock passed away at the age of 77.
Duane Allman, Carl Radle, Tom Dowd, Jim Gordon, and now Bobby Whitlock. Everyone who had anything to do with Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs except Eric Clapton is gone.
This makes me sad. Rest in peace, Bobby Whitlock. One of the most soulful voices I’ve ever had the good fortune to hear.
