Rita Coolidge Layla

She has an original recording of hit “Layla” by Eric Clapton’s band Derek and the Dominos in 1970, Clapton returned to the studio where he heard the band’s drummer Jim Gordon playing a piano piece he had allegedly composed himself separately.

Clapton, impressed by the piece, convinced Gordon to allow it to be used as part of the song in the coda section. Though only Gordon has been officially credited with this part, the band’s keyboardist Bobby Whitlock claims, “Jim took that piano melody from his ex-girlfriend, Rita Coolidge.

I know because in Delaney & Bonnie’s days, I lived in John Garfield’s old house in the Hollywood Hills and there was a guest house with an upright piano in it. Rita and Jim were up there in the guest house and invited me to join in on writing this song with them called “Time”.

Her sister Priscilla wound up recording it with her husband, Booker T. Jones (of Booker T. & the M.G.’s). Jim took the melody from Rita’s song and didn’t give her credit for writing it. Her boyfriend ripped her off”. “Time” ended up on the 1973 album Chronicles by Booker T. and Priscilla.
