@redshiftdazzleron Yes she was. Patty Boyd was married to George Harrison from 1966 to 1977 and then she married Eric Clapton from 1979-1989. Now,she is not married to someone else - a non-celebrity and not a singer - in Roy Weston since 2015. Patty Boyd also inspired George to write "Something", "If I Needed Someone" and "For Your Blue".And you got it right. She was the inspiration of Eric Clapton for "Layla" and "Wonderful Tonight".

@redshiftdazzleron With regards to "I Need You", I think that George and Patty weren't married yet as the album and the movie "Help!" was shown in 1965. But they met in the 1964 movie,"A Hard Day's Night" and they probably had an ongoing relationship.

@song4julia It was claimed that George wrote it for Patty when they separated while the former was in the Bahamas in 1965. But apparently,some have disproved that theory as the recording of the "Help!" happened before George went to the Bahamas. It was probably a song he made for her as a source of inspiration or a love song. They were not married yet when this song was released in 1965.

George wrote this for Pattie, his wife.
Wasn't this the very same Patty that Eric Clapton fell in love with and wrote "Layla" for???!!!
