Why does Derek and the Dominoes song Layla have such a long outro making it sound like it is from another song?
Eric Clapton heard drummer Jim Gordon playing the piano part, liked it, and asked Gordon if they could use it in the song.
Here’s where it gets a bit hairy: Jim Gordon’s ex-girlfriend was Rita Coolidge, and more than one person has claimed that she wrote the piano part that Gordon was playing and which he’s credited with.
Specifically, Bobby Whitlock, another member of Derek and the Dominoes, claims that he heard Gordon and Coolidge writing a song called ‘Time’ which features this piano part, while Gordon and Coolidge were having a relationship (which was around the time Coolidge and Gordon were touring with Joe Cocker). Graham Nash of the Hollies has also confirmed this.
Coolidge’s sister Priscilla was married to Booker T. Jones, of Booker T. & the MG’s, and they recorded ‘Time’ on their 1973 album Chronicles. It has to be said that, well, that’s the piano part from ‘Layla’ all right.
Coolidge and Gordon broke up after he punched her in the face on the Joe Cocker tour, leaving her with a black eye.
One doesn’t want to excuse any kind of violence by saying that the abuser was ‘troubled’, but in Gordon’s case he developed full-blown schizophrenia in the 1970s, and began to hear voices. His doctors failed to diagnose him properly and in 1983 he murdered his mother, after which he got a proper diagnosis.
Although the court accepted that he was mentally ill, he wasn’t allowed to use insanity as a defence. He’s been denied parole ten times and is currently serving a life sentence for murder in the California Medical Facility.
In any case, I’m of the opinion that the credits for ‘Layla’ ought to be ‘Clapton/Gordon/Coolidge’.

What classic rock band did you hear decades later that you can’t believe you missed out on in their original era?

In 1990, a supergroup called The Best was formed and played gigs in Japan and Hawai’i. The band was fronted by a Canadian singer named Rick Livingstone. While that name may not ring any bells, the rest of his bandmates might: John Entwistle, Joe Walsh, Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, Simon Phillips and Keith Emerson.
