re: #107 William Lewis

To add to that story, Rita Coolidge wrote the piano melody and her boyfriend at the time “borrowed the melody” for Layla. Fascinating glimpse behind the scenes. The link goes to a newspaper article discussing Rita Coolidge. Link Gordon abused drugs, became paranoid, killed his mother with a butcher knife and si serving a 30 year sentence. Great melody, love that piano outro but the story behind it is mind boggling - requires readjusting my thoughts on the song. Rita Coolidge wrote one of the most memorable piano melodies of my lifetime.
