[Slowhand] Layla Riff

[EFSCHUL at aol.com]

What I've read over the years, is different members of the group wrote  
various parts of the song.  EC, Duane, Whitlock, Gordon.  Layla is  "officially" 
credited to Clapton & Gordon.
 
There are some, outside the group, who also claim credit, and then others  
who claim credit for the coda.   Gordon (as you know, is in jail,  has 
commented, he has not received proper royalties).  Not sure if Jim is  in a real or 
imagined state, but that's what's been written over the years about  what he has 
said, ranted and/or threatened.  
 
The people "outside" the group who claim credit for various parts of the  
song, grow in number each year.  If you think about this, all of the peeps  - 
inside and outside the band were out of their minds on various mind altering  
drugs, so who's to say, or who can remember, who wrote what?

ps:  there was a woman behind me in Row 5 at the Staples Center in LA  who 
whispered to me that she had written the coda!  Now, who do you think  that 
could be?????
