For the first time, rock music’s most famous muse tells her incredible story

Pattie Boyd, former wife of both George Harrison and Eric Clapton, finally breaks a forty-year silence and tells the story of how she found herself bound to two of the most addictive, promiscuous musical geniuses of the twentieth century and became the most legendary muse in the history of rock and roll. The woman who inspired Harrison’s song “Something” and Clapton’s anthem “Layla,” Pattie Boyd has written a book that is rich and raw, funny and heartbreaking–and totally honest.

Description of Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me:
A Q&A with Pattie Boyd, Author of Wonderful Tonight

Why are you writing the book now?

I have been asked for the last 15 years to write a book, and it is only now that I feel the time is right. My confidence in myself was restored after two successful exhibitions of my photography, and it occurred to me that I was finally ready to take a look at the unique experiences of my life and to share them--including all the ups and downs.

Tell us about the first time you met George Harrison.

Working as a model, I occasionally went for castings, mainly for television commercials. I went for an interview with one of the directors I had worked with in the past, and he cast me in his first movie, A Hard Day’s Night, to play the part of a schoolgirl. When I first saw George on the set, I thought he was the best-looking man I’d ever seen. I was so surprised when he asked me out on a date at the end of my first day of filming.

Tell us about the first time you heard George Harrison's song, "Something."

George said he had written a song for me, and he played it on the guitar at home without the words. Then when I heard the song after it had been recorded I couldn’t believe how utterly beautiful it was. It was released on a single in October 1969, and I felt so thrilled and flattered.

Tell us about the first time you heard Eric Clapton's "Layla."

Eric invited me to his band's flat one day and played a rough recording of "Layla" on a cassette recorder. I was sitting on a sofa and he on the floor as it played, and he kept looking up at me for a reaction. I was stunned; the intensity, passion and tenderness came across so strongly--I knew, as he said, it was written for me.


Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me Reviews:
Boring & Whiny 1 Star Review
2009-11-02 - Every other 1 star review pretty much sums up what I thought. I just want to add that I'm glad George was with Olivia when he was attacked. Olivia beat the man with a fire poker, Pattie would've been complaining that the man wasn't paying attention to her.

pattys book 4 Star Review
2009-11-01 - The book wasnt supposed to be a tell all in the first place ..its the story of a young lady growing up in the spot light ..I found it a good read, a few nights ..and enjoyable

Wonderful Tonight by Patty Boyd 5 Star Review
2009-09-29 - This book was another one I could barely stand to put down until I finished it.

Interesting biography 4 Star Review
2009-09-22 - If you're a child of the sixties, you'll find Patti Boyd's insider story quite interesting.

just a pity party 1 Star Review
2009-09-05 - After reading this book I was disgusted with Patti Boyd. I assume she is not too bright although using all those drugs and booze probably didn't help her brain. Only thing I was relieved to see was that she was unable to have a baby. Apparently in spite of her claim to want to get pregnant it didn't stop her from abusing drugs and alcohol so who knows what messed up kid she would have had. I know she had a sad childhood but at some point in our lives we need to realize that its not all about ME ME ME. I only hope and pray that she has found some way to help others instead of concentrating on herself.
