by Pattie Boyd
First published 2008
Pattie Boyd takes readers through the extraordinary chapters of her life, from her early days as a model to becoming the muse behind some of rock's most famous love songs. She recounts meeting George Harrison on the set of A Hard Day's Night, where she played a schoolgirl and he asked her out after her first day of filming. Boyd describes hearing Harrison play "Something" for her on guitar at home, then later experiencing the recorded version and feeling overwhelmed by its beauty when it became a single in 1969. She also shares the moment Eric Clapton played her a rough cassette of "Layla" in his band's apartment, watching his face as he looked up from the floor while she sat stunned by the song's intensity and passion. Through these intimate moments, Boyd reveals what it meant to inspire two legendary musicians and live at the center of rock history's most compelling love triangle.
