"George Harrison made me the prize in a game of pool," claims daughter of Cream drummer Ginger Baker
In her new memoir, Nettie Baker also reveals that the late Beatle tried to "buy" her from her father for £2,000 that same evening.
In her new memoir, 'Tales of A Rock Star’s Daughter', Nettie Baker, daughter of legendary Cream drummer Ginger Baker has revealed a shocking anecdote about a high profile rock-and-roll party in which she was passed off as the prize for a game of pool by late Beatle George Harrison.
As the Daily Mail points out, the episode took place in 1976 at Clapton's Hurtwood Edge home and more than 40 years later, Nettie recalls it vividly. It was an intimate party at Eric Clapton's Surrey mansion. In attendance were Clapton and his then-girlfriend, Pattie Boyd, her ex-husband George Harrison and his new girlfriend. So were Nettie's father and Clapton's bandmate Ginger Baker and his first wife Liz, who brought Nettie along to the party.
