Derek & The Dominoes - Layla - it is composed of two main parts, equally memorable. The song was, of course, a proclamation of love by Eric Clapton for the wife(not named Layla) of Beatle George Harrison. (Clapton later married and divorced the ex-Mrs. Harrison. Another song by Clapton, "Wonderful Tonight," is also about her.) The last four and one-half minutes of "Layla" were comprised of excellent dual solo efforts on guitar and piano.
