Derek and the Dominoes : ウィキペディア英語版
Derek and the Dominos

Derek and the Dominos were a 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.
The band released only one studio album, the Tom Dowd-produced ''Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs'', which also featured notable contributions on slide guitar from Duane Allman. A double album, ''Layla'' went on to receive critical acclaim, but initially faltered in sales and in radio airplay. Although released in 1970 it was not until March 1972 that the album's single "Layla" (a tale of unrequited love inspired by Clapton's relationship with his friend Harrison's wife, Pattie Boyd) made the top ten in both the United States and the United Kingdom. The album is often considered to be the defining achievement of Clapton's career.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=superseventies.com )
==Background and formation==
Derek and the Dominos came about through its four members' involvement in the American soul revue Delaney & Bonnie and Friends. The latter supported Eric Clapton's short-lived supergroup with Stevie Winwood, Blind Faith, on a US tour in the summer of 1969, during which Clapton became increasingly drawn towards Delaney & Bonnie's relative anonymity next to the fan worship afforded his own band.〔''The New Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll'', pp. 88, 183, 254.〕〔 Together with his fellow future Dominos – Bobby Whitlock (vocals, keyboards), Carl Radle (bass) and Jim Gordon (drums)〔 – Clapton toured Europe and the United States again between November 1969 and March 1970, this time as a member of Delaney & Bonnie and Friends.〔Whitlock, pp. 52, 60.〕 In addition, the entire band backed him on his debut solo album, ''Eric Clapton'',〔Reid, pp. xiii, 29.〕〔 recorded over the same period.〔 Many of the members began to leave Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, as a result of disagreements over money.〔 Whitlock later recalled other difficulties with Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett, citing the couple's frequent fights and describing Delaney as a demanding band leader in the manner of James Brown.〔''The Layla Sessions'' liner notes, page 5.〕〔Santoro, p. 63.〕 While Gordon, Radle and the other Friends personnel, including drummer Jim Keltner, immediately joined Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour with Leon Russell, Whitlock remained with the Bramletts for a short time.〔
In April 1970, at the suggestion of his friend and mentor Steve Cropper,〔Whitlock, p. 65.〕 Whitlock travelled to England to visit Clapton.〔Harris, p. 70.〕 Whitlock subsequently lived in Hurtwood Edge, Clapton's house in Surrey, where the two musicians would jam and, on acoustic guitars, began writing the bulk of the Dominos' catalogue.〔 Available at (Rock's Backpages ) (subscription required).〕 Many of these songs reflected Clapton's growing infatuation with Pattie Boyd,〔〔 the wife of his best friend, George Harrison,〔 who had joined Clapton as a guitarist on Delaney & Bonnie's European tour in December 1969.〔Clayson, pp. 275, 277–79.〕
Soon after Whitlock's arrival, with him and Clapton eager to form a new band,〔Whitlock, p. 73.〕 they contacted Radle and Gordon in the United States. Although their first choice for a drummer was Keltner – like Radle and Russell, a native of Tulsa〔Reid, pp. 42, 47.〕 – he was busy recording with jazz guitarist Gábor Szabó.〔〔 Gordon, however, had been invited to London to work on Harrison's post-Beatles solo album ''All Things Must Pass''.〔 In May that year, Clapton, Whitlock, Radle and Gordon reunited in London at a session for P.P. Arnold,〔Harris, p. 72.〕 before going on to serve as the backing band on much of Harrison's album.〔 In a 1990 interview, Clapton said, "We made our bones, really, on that album with George", since the four musicians had "no game plan" other than living at Hurtwood Edge, "getting stoned, and playing and semi-writing songs".〔
Clapton biographer Harry Shapiro comments on the unprecedented aspect of Clapton's bond with his new bandmates, in that from the Blind Faith tour onwards, the guitarist "had been able to build a working relationship in a slow and natural fashion" for the first time. Among the friendships formed before the group officially came into existence, Shapiro continues, "the empathy … outcropped most noticeably in Bobby Whitlock, in whom Eric found an accomplished and sympathetic songwriting partner and back-up vocalist."〔Shapiro, p. 118.〕 Although Clapton and Whitlock had originally considered adding the Delaney & Bonnie horn section to their new band, this plan was abandoned.〔 Whitlock would later explain the ethos of Derek and the Dominos: "we didn't want any horns, we didn't want no chicks, we wanted a rock 'n' roll band. But my vocal concept was that we approach singing like Sam and Dave did: () sings a line, I sing a line, we sing together."〔Santoro, p. 64.〕
