Why it is here
- The riff came together after Bruce, working through the night with lyricist Pete Brown, developed it 'almost in a fit of desperation', with Clapton adding that Bruce created it after attending a Jimi Hendrix concert. source
- Atco's label boss Jerry Wexler reportedly dismissed early demos as 'psychedelic hogwash,' but Booker T. Jones and Otis Redding gave the track their wholehearted approval before it was finished. source
- Clapton's guitar solo used his signature 'woman tone' on a 1964 Gibson SG known as 'the Fool,' quoting the melody of 'Blue Moon' against the riff's blues scale. source
