Inside the George Harrison, Eric Clapton and Pattie Boyd love triangle
George Harrison's, Pattie Boyd's and Eric Clapton's love-triangle has been called "one of the most mythical romantic entanglements in rock 'n' roll history"
"Something in the way she moves".
The subject of the lyrics from The Beatles' timeless ballad 'Something' was none other than Pattie Boyd, George Harrison's wife. Well, then-wife at the time of the song's release at least.
Evidently, there was something in the way she moved, as the model and photographer was the object of affection and longing admiration from not only one rock star, but two.
The two musicians in question were of course George Harrison, but also his best friend and frequent musical collaborator Eric Clapton.
In fact, Eric reached the point of desperate obsession with Pattie, that he was also inspired to write one of his most beloved and devastating songs about her, 'Layla', performed by Clapton's short-lived blues-rock group Derek and the Dominos.
