Derek & The Dominos

Eric Clapton got the idea to form the band after they played together on George Harrison's first solo album, All Things Must Pass.

The 3 members who are not Clapton were in the band Delaney And Bonnie, and got to know Clapton while they were touring with Blind Faith in 1969.

After playing in high-profile groups Cream and Blind Faith, Clapton wanted to keep a low profile, and insisted that he remain anonymous while they were touring. At first, most people had no idea Clapton was in the band.
