Eric Clapton-Layla

是誰在Eric Clapton的"Layla"結尾擔任獨奏?

  是Jim Gordon彈奏了這段鋼琴尾聲，他也是這首歌的作曲人之一，事實上Jim當時的女友寫了“Layla”的結尾部分。

  女友 ? 正是才華洋溢又漂亮的Rita Coolidge把這首歌後來的結尾交給了他，卻不知道他把這首歌帶到Muscle Shoals的專業錄音室當中，為Derek and The Dominos 專輯“Layla and other Assorted Love Songs” 裡招牌歌曲“Layla”所用。

  “Layla and other Assorted Love Songs”是Blues-rock藍調搖滾樂團Derek and the Dominos唯一的一張專輯，1970年11月發行，其中最有名的單曲是"Layla"(#10/1972)這首歌，後來成為該團主唱Eric Clapton個人的代表作，也是獲得滾石雜誌RSO500排行榜第27名的名曲。

  納許維爾出生的Rita Coolidge後來嫁給影歌雙棲巨星Kris Kristofferson(1973-1980)，他在Billboard Hot 100排行榜上獲得過第7名的歌“We’re All Alone”是一首動聽的情歌。

Layla

Lyrics：Eric Clapton / Jim Gordon

 

See if you can spot this one

What will you do when you get lonely?
No one waiting by your side
You've been running hiding much too long
You know it's just your foolish pride

Layla
Got me on my knees
Layla
Begging darling please
Layla
Darling won't you ease my worried mind?

Tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down
Like a fool I fell in love with you
You turned my whole world upside down, Layla

Got me on my knees
Layla
Begging darling please
Layla
Darling won't you ease my worried mind?

Make the best of the situation
'Fore I finally go insane
Please don't say we'll never find a way
Tell me all my love's in vain

Layla
Got me on my knees
Layla
I'm begging darling please
Layla
Darling won't you ease my worried mind?

Layla
Got me on my knees
Layla
Begging darling please
Layla
Darling won't you ease my worried mind?

Layla
Got me on my knees
Layla
Begging darling please
Layla
Darling won't you ease my worried mind?

Layla
Got me on my knees
Layla
Begging darling please
Layla
Darling won't you ease my worried mind?
Thank you
