Who sings with Eric Clapton on 'Lay Down Sally'?!
Question: Marcy Levy, one of Clapton's backup singers, wrote this with him and sang on it. She toured with Bob Seger before joining Clapton's band in 1973. In 1988, Levy, using the name Marcella Detroit, joined former Bananarama singer Siobhan Fahey to form Shakespear's Sister.
In this song, Clapton tries to convince a girl to hang out in bed with him instead of leaving. The song is not typical of Clapton's work, which is often based on The Blues.
This is the first track on the album. "Slowhand" is a nickname given to Clapton by the group's manager when he was with The Yardbirds. He got it because of his laid-back guitar style.
"Lay Down Sally" is grammatically incorrect. The correct grammar would be "Lie Down Sally." (thanks, Bert - Pueblo, NM)
