“Have you ever loved a woman / so much you tremble in pain?” Eric Clapton certainly has. As he wrote on the album “Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs,” Eric Clapton was deeply, madly in love with his best friend George Harrison’s wife, Pattie Boyd. 

Picking up from last week, we tell Eric’s side of this iconic rock ‘n roll love triangle. There’s a voodoo spell, two love letters, obsession, music, and more. What happened when Pattie flew to meet Eric in Boston? And who was really her true love: George or Eric? Listen and find out! 

We spend the beginning of the episode discussing listeners’ favorite love triangles in pop culture. Jump to 18:39 to get into Eric and ‘Layla’!
