Derek and the Dominos

Derek and the Dominos were a blues rock band formed

in the spring of 1970 by guitarist and singer Eric Clapton,
keyboardist and singer Bobby Whitlock, bassist Carl Radle and drummer Jim Gordon. All four members had previously played together in Delaney & Bonnie and Friends,
during and after Claptons brief tenure with Blind Faith.
Dave Mason supplied additional lead guitar on early studio sessions and played at their rst live gig. Another participant at their rst session as a band was George Harrison, the recording for whose album All Things Must Pass
marked the formation of Derek and the Dominos.

with the Bramletts for a short time.[7]

In April 1970, at the suggestion of his friend and mentor Steve Cropper,[11] Whitlock travelled to England to
visit Clapton.[12] Whitlock subsequently lived in Hurtwood Edge, Claptons house in Surrey, where the two
musicians would jam and, on acoustic guitars, began writing the bulk of the Dominos catalogue.[8] Many of these
songs reected Claptons growing infatuation with Pattie

a UK tour by Derek and the Dominos.[51]
The reception aorded the band from critics and fans was
mixed.[33][34] Together with the unfavourable reviews for
Claptons eponymous solo album, particularly in Britain,
this reaction was reective of a widespread reluctance to
view Clapton as a singer and frontman, rather than as
the virtuoso guitarist synonymous with his role in bands
such as Cream and the Yardbirds.[35] In his 2007 autobiography, Clapton writes that his main recollection of
the Lyceum show was consulting New Orleans-born musician Dr John, a self-styled practitioner of voodoo,[36]
and receiving a package made of straw that would serve
as a means of winning Boyds aection.[37]

For three weeks from 1 August,[21] the group performed

in clubs and other small venues in Britain,[52] where Clapton chose to play anonymously, still weary from the fame
that he felt had plagued Cream and Blind Faith.[53] Admission for the shows was set at 1, and clauses in the
contract with each venue stipulated that Claptons name
was not to be used as a crowd-puller. Shapiro writes
that the band had made great strides since the Lyceum
concert;[21] their setlist included Tell the Truth,[54] covers of Billy Myles' "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" and
Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing", together with songs such
as Bottle of Red Wine and Don't Know Why,[7] both
from the Eric Clapton album.[55] Clapton has said of this

with us twice, and it was not good both times he played,

because he was not a uid player He could play parts,
but he couldnt sing with his guitar.[15] The jams from
Allmans rst night at Criteria with the Dominos were issued on the second CD of The Layla Sessions: 20th Anniversary Edition in 1990.

The albums best-known track, Layla was compiled

from recordings from two separate sessions. The main,
guitar-oriented section was taped on 9 September, after
the band had recorded their version of Hendrixs Little
Wing"; the closing section was added several weeks later,
after Clapton had decided that the song lacked a suitable
ending. The answer was an elegiac piano piece composed by Gordon (and an uncredited Rita Coolidge)[7]
and played by the drummer, with Whitlock providing a
second piano part to cover Gordons relative inexperience
on the instrument.[49] During the Layla sessions, Gordon
had been writing and playing songs for an intended solo
album when, by chance, Clapton rst heard the piano
piece. According to Claptons recollection, in return for
continuing to use the Dominos studio time for his own
project, Gordon agreed to have the segment used as the
ending for Layla.[13]

Layla sessions

Main article: Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs

The band ew to Miami, Florida on 23 August 1970
to begin recording with Atlantic Records producer Tom
Dowd.[8] Until early September,[4] sessions took place at
Criteria Studios for what became Derek and the Dominos
double album, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs.[8]
Most of the material, particularly the track "Layla", was
inspired by Claptons unrequited love for Boyd.[13][14]
After Clapton and Whitlocks initial experimentation
with heroin while recording All Things Must Pass,[20] the
bands time in Miami was marked by all four members
excessive use of hard drugs.[56] According to Clapton:
We were staying in this hotel on the beach, and whatever drug you wanted, you could get it at the newsstand.

to the Allman Brothers Band. Only three songs I

Clapton invited him to become a member of Derek and the Dominos,[14] but Allman demurred,
choosing to remain loyal to his own band.[13][61] According to Whitlock, however, Allman was a hired gun and
an unnecessary addition; Whitlock added: He played

ashamed to tell it, but its the truth. It was scary, what
we were doing, but we were just young and dumb and
didn't know. Cocaine and heroin, thats all and Johnny
Walker.[66] The tour resulted in a well received live double album, In Concert, which was recorded from a pair of
shows at the Fillmore East in New York City, New York.
Six of the recordings from that album were digitally remastered and expanded with additional material from the
same shows to become Live at the Fillmore, released in
1994.

Album release

Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs was issued in

November 1970. According to Shapiro, relative to the
band and Dowds high expectations, it was a critical and
commercial op.[67] Clapton similarly describes Layla
as having died a death on release.[68] Although it received favourable reviews in Rolling Stone and The Village
Voice, the album missed the top ten in the United States
and failed to chart at all in the United Kingdom, until a
reissue on CD resulted in a one-week stay at number 68
in 2011. It garnered little attention,[69] partly as a result
of a lack of promotion by Polydor, and partly due to the
publics ignorance of Claptons presence in the band.[67]

personally, accelerating his spiral into drug addiction and

depression.[74] In 1985 when talking about the band Clapton remarked, We were a make-believe band. We were
all hiding inside it. Derek and the Dominosthe whole
thing ... assumed. So it couldn't last. I had to come out
and admit that I was being me. I mean, being Derek was a
cover for the fact that I was trying to steal someone elses
wife. That was one of the reasons for doing it, so that I
could write the song, and even use another name for Pattie. So Derek and Laylait wasn't real at all.[75]
The band disintegrated messily in London just before
they could complete their second LP. Much later in
an interview with music critic Robert Palmer, Clapton
said the second album broke down halfway through because of the paranoia and tension. And the band just
... dissolved.[69] Although Radle worked with Clapton
for several more years, Whitlock did not work with Clapton again until they performed together on the Jools Holland BBC show in 2000. Radle was not retained in Claptons band in 1979 and died in June 1980 of complications from a kidney infection[76] associated with alcohol
and drug use.[77] Another tragic footnote to this was the
fate of drummer Jim Gordon, who was an undiagnosed
schizophrenic and years later, killed his mother with a
hammer during a psychotic episode. He was conned to a
mental institution in 1984,[78] where he remains today.[79]

After the dissolution, Clapton turned away from touring

and recording to nurse an intense heroin addiction.[80][81]
Claptons three-year career hiatus was interrupted only
by his participation in Harrisons Concert for Bangladesh
in August 1971, along with a large cast of musicians that
included Leon Russell, Keltner and Radle;[82] a guest appearance at Russells December 1971 show at Londons
Rainbow Theatre;[83] and his own Rainbow Concert, in

Layla was also included on The History of Eric Clapton
in 1972, and Atlantic issued the song as a single in July
that year.[67] It became a hit, peaking at number 10 in
America and number 7 in Britain,[70] and charted again in
1982.[67] Clapton reworked the song as an acoustic ballad
in 1992 for his MTV: Unplugged album. This version
charted at number 12 in the US and also won a Grammy
Award.

Tragedy and dissolution

Tragedy dogged the group throughout its brief career.

During the sessions, Clapton was devastated by the death
of his friend and professional rival, Jimi Hendrix; eight
days previously the band had cut a version of "Little
Wing", which was added to the album as a tribute. One
year later Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident. Clapton wrote later in his autobiography that
he and Allman were inseparable during the sessions in
Florida; he talked about Allman as the musical brother
I'd never had but wished I did.[73] Adding to Claptons
woes, the Layla album received only lukewarm reviews
and weak album sales upon release; Clapton took this

listings of the best rock albums ever recorded. It may
have been the pinnacle of both Clapton and Whitlocks
careers. The bands producer, Tom Dowd, said of it that
he felt it was the best ... album I'd been involved with

at the lack of acclaim it garnered on its release.[69]
