Default Re: Songs with cool stories behind them

Years later the two remained friends, even despite the fact that Clapton had stolen his girl briefly.

Briefly? Clapton was married to her for 10 years!

She also inspired Wonderful Tonight (Clapton was waiting for her to get ready for a party).

The whole Layla album is about his love for her. Also poignant is the blues cover "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" about loving your best friend's wife.

According to wikipedia, Patti left George Harrison after George had an affair with Ringo Starr's wife.
