Wonderful Tonight (Eric Clapton) – 1977

Eric Clapton, one of George Harrison’s close friends, eventually ended up marrying Pattie Boyd. Boyd would be very wealthy if being a muse were a career since, in addition to 11 songs written about her by the Beatles, she was also the inspiration for two of Clapton’s best-known tunes, “Wonderful Tonight” and “Layla.”

When Clapton was waiting for Boyd to get ready for a night out in 1976, he wrote the song “Wonderful Tonight.” She was trying on clothes because they were heading out to a Buddy Holly tribute Paul McCartney had organized, and she was taking quite some time doing so.
