(I'm catching up on last week's news due to vacation.)
Derek and the Dominoes featured Eric (alias Derek) Clapton.
As far as I know, the album with Layla on it was their only
recording.
While I did not get in on the beginning of the "older, longer"
discussion, I'll put in my two cents on the question of
whether the most requested oldies are better than today's
songs.  I would say that the oldies that are often played today
were (for the most part) the best of the hits at their time,
and that the "best" (not necessarily most played) songs today
will move into that category.  Rock is evolving, and liking
60's or 50's rock better than today's is mostly a matter of taste.
  Anyhow, glad somebody likes to talk about rock and roll.
