Derek and the Dominos were an English–American blues-rock band formed in the spring of 1970 by guitarist and singer Eric Clapton, keyboardist and singer Bobby Whitlock, bassist Carl Radle and drummer Jim Gordon. All four members had previously played together in Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, during and after Clapton’s brief tenure with Blind Faith. Dave Mason supplied additional lead guitar on early studio sessions and played at their first live gig. Another participant at their first session as a band was George Harrison, the recording for whose album All Things Must Pass marked the formation of Derek and the Dominos.

  1. I remember long ago as a young jock at an oldies station getting a request for Layla by Eric Clapton BEFORE he had the unplugged version. Look it up and it says Derek not Eric and aired that bit before playing the song. Had no idea at the time. Ah to have been in your 20’s and think you know everything.
