Complete Clapton

A celebrity melodrama of long ago is revisted in Pattie Boyd's "torn between two rock stars" memoir Wonderful Tonight. Married to George Harrison whilst carrying on and later marrying Eric Clapton this onetime muse to the kings of rock finally tells all about the men who wrote songs about her: George wrote "Something" and Clapton as everyone has known for decades was inspired to write "Layla" about her.

Clapton: The Autobiography is a thoughtful, candid account of the legendary guitarist's life chronicling the music, addictions and tragedy. His "self-reckoning is filled with modesty" as one reviewer wrote. At this point he seems to have found peace and a sense of accomplishment--most notably in the Crossroads rehab center in Antigua which he founded . For us, there's still the music.
