How He Met Boyd
The link between Clapton and Harrison led to the meeting of Harrison’s first wife, Pattie Boyd, with whom he appeared to have developed a passionate passion. Clapton began visiting her sister Paula for a period of time in an attempt to appease her obvious lust for Paula. In “Layla,” Clapton’s emotional feelings for Boyd appear to have influenced the songwriting process, while Boyd first turned his back on him, culminating in disastrous consequences for the guitarist.

Ending His Addiction

Harrison organized a charity event in New York for Bangladesh in 1971, and it was at this concert that Clapton made his first recording and performed. The legendary guitarist is claimed to have fought to remain on his feet for his whole performance.
