Back To 1972Choose A Different YearNext Video
By the late 1980's, Derek & The Dominos "Layla" had become iconic, and it is now regularly featured on a number of "greatest songs" lists all around the world, including ours.
It was released as a single in 1972 from the band's 1970 album "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" where it went on to peak at No.7 in the UK Charts in August 1972.
In any serious discussion about greatest guitarist's ever, "Eric Clapton" will be one of the names you'll hear mentioned time & time again.
