Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and me,
by Pattie Boyd
Wonderful Tonight, by Pattie Boyd, is a fascinating look inside the music world during the rock and roll revolution in the 60's and 70's. Pattie, a former fashion model and photographer, recalls the incredible journey of her life.
She spent her childhood in Kenya, and several life changing events due to her mother's marriages helped prepare Pattie for her life ahead. She met her first husband George Harrison on the set of "A Hard Day's Night", and was an important part of the Beatles family during their fantastic journey through music history.
Pattie's life then changed dramatically, when she was seduced away from her first marriage by guitar genius Eric Clapton, but the turbulent life of jet-setting rock superstars don't always end happily ever-after. Drinking, drugs, and personal problems took their toll on several important people in Pattie's life.
Through it all, Pattie became the inspiration for several hit songs, and finally was able to be at peace with decisions she made during her unbelievable life.
A very interesting look at Rock and Roll from someone who was on the scene!
