Their only studio album, the double record “Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs,” has often been called the creative peak of Clapton's career. Gordon also toured with with Clapton, bassist Carl Radle and keyboardist Bobby Whitlock: the core of what, in 1970, became Derek and the Dominos, one of rock's greatest one-shot groups. One of his notable credits was a drum break on the Incredible Bongo Band’s “Apache” that has been frequently sampled by rap music artists, among them Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes and Kool Moe Dee. Gordon eventually played on the Beach Boys' landmark, experimental “Pet Sounds” and the Byrds' “The Notorious Byrd Brothers," Harrison's post-Beatles triple album “All Things Must Pass” and Steely Dan's jazz-rock “Pretzel Logic.” He worked with a wide range of top acts, from Joan Baez and Jackson Browne to Merle Haggard and Tom Petty.
