Derek And The Dominos were a short-lived band who lasted barely a year and
recorded only one album together and might have been forgotten completely were
it not for one very special track - the mighty Layla. Eric Clapton, Bobby
Whitlock, Carl Radle and Jim Gordon all originally worked together on the road
as Delaney And Bonnie's backing band and went on to play with George Harrison on
his All Things Must Pass LP before deciding to release their own album. In 1970
they played at the London Lyceum as Eric Clapton & Friends, but adopted the name
the Dominos in tribute to Fats Domino...
