the Reluctant Beatle page 38 by ric gustafson
On New Year's Eve 1970, Paul McCartney filed a lawsuit against Apple and his former bandmates. The reason for the legal action was to take the Beatles finances out of Allen Klein's control. For many reasons, Paul wanted the dissolution of the band. John and George knew the tax implications if Paul's lawsuit was successful.
On Feb 17 1971, the High Court met before Mr Justice Stamp. Paul was the only Beatle present. John George and Ringo sent written statements to the court. On March 12 1971, the High Court ruled in favor of the band not Allen Klein.
One day, Pattie received an urgent express letter. In it, Eric Clapton confessed adoration for her. To show her it was real, Clapton called her and verified his feelings for her. When George was recording ' All Things Must Pass', Clapton was in charge of his all star studio band.
George found out Clapton's true intentions about Pattie at a party at Robert Stigwood's house. George found Pattie outside in the garden with Clapton. Eric told George he was in love with his wife. Clapton wrote a song called ' Layla' to profess his love for Patti.
