In the late 1960s, George Harrison and Eric Clapton became good friends and began writing and recording music together. Eric quickly fell in love with Pattie — to satisfy his desire, Eric briefly dated Pattie's sister, Paula, and wrote an entire album declaring his love for Pattie titled "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs."

Regarding the romantic record, Pattie wrote in Reader's Digest that "when I first heard 'Layla,' which was inspired by me, I was really touched by it because it was such an emotional song. Things were on the wane between me and George and I could no longer resist." After finalizing her divorce, Pattie started dating Eric; the two were later married on March 27, 1979.

Their marriage was doomed from the get-go, which led to Pattie drinking heavily. Eric later admitted to abusing Pattie, stating that he raped her during their marriage and was a "full-blown" alcoholic. In 1987, Pattie left Eric and divorced him in 1989 on the grounds of infidelity and irrational behavior.
