"Bell Bottom Blues" is a song written by Eric Clapton and Bobby Whitlock,[2] and performed by Derek and the Dominos. It dealt with Clapton's unrequited love for Pattie Boyd, the wife of his friend George Harrison, and appeared on the 1970 double album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. Issued as a single, backed with "Keep on Growing", the song reached number 91 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1971.[3][4] A re-release backed with "Little Wing" peaked at number 78 on the same chart.[3]
