Game - Name a Song That Has a Woman's Name in the Title

Name a song title that contains a woman's name
 

Lola - Eric Clapton

Or layla

Layla was definitely Clapton. There are two versions-- the first was the "rocked out" version released when he was with Derek and the Dominoes, which he helped form in the early 70's. It's widely considered one of the great rock songs of all time. I agree, and especially love the 3 min. piano coda at the end.

The second version was recorded by Clapton a few years later, and is the more mello or acoustic version you hear.  The lyrics are the same, and I believe they have something to do with Clapton's secret love for Beatle George Harrison's wife at the time.  I could be remembering wrong about that, so maybe one of you guys can correct me.

Lola, another great song, was released by The Kinks back in the late 60's or early 70's.

It shouldn't be forgotten that Duane Allman made major contributions to the Layla album in 1970. It wouldn't have been as good as it was without his input on slide guitar. And in fact that great 7 note riff on Layla was his idea (though it is similar to an Albert King riff from the 60s).
