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:
Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me
2009-12-28 - This book is a must read for all fans of the 60s and the fashion, the Beatles, rock n roll, etc. Pattie's life is as colorful as the fashions she once wore for designers and photographers. Her childhood was a mixture of silent heartbreak from a broken home, to the adventure and mysticism of living in a foreign land with the vast, star-filled sky as her ceiling. Pattie experienced the beginnings of the 60s pop culture breakthrough in London, she went on holidays with George and the Beatles, she has endearing stories of the Beatles before the business and the world started to harden their persona, and she was there as they grew apart. One of my favorite parts was reading about Friar Park, which she discovered looking for homes for sale. It is an enchanting estate full of character and curiosity- created by Sir Frankie Crisp- which she and George fell in love with and decided to restore. Her life is a product of the sixties- the good, the bad, and the ugly. Pattie has faced harsh realities in her marriages and she has experienced the good and the bad of the glamorous life. Pattie Boyd is a survivor and her strength is inspiring for those who can relate to her story. I will read this book again.

wonderful always!
2009-12-22 - I've always been a Pattie Boyd fan. This book was insightful and enjoyable from start-to-finish. I was born in the eighties so the sixties were something I could only imagine, but this book was interesting because it brought you to the height of all the action and the midst of the excitement, while telling her own personal account of how it affected her. It's clear that Pattie is not a "writer" per se but she does well and makes for a compelling story with some historical value as well.

Just okay
2009-12-06 - i have to agree with the reviewer tracy l. - this booked lacked soul and emotion. although i enjoyed it, i never really felt i was shown any real insight into the personal moments of george and pattie or eric and pattie. she spent way too much time explaining how she decorated friar park than she did about her relationships and feelings. made me appreciate cynthia lennon's book "john" much more; at least i finished that book feeling like i'd been given a glimpse into john lennon's private world...

Boring & Whiny
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
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
