Derek and the Dominoes keyboardist Bobby Whitlock later corroborated Coolidge's story, stating that Gordon "took the melody from Rita's song and didn't give her credit for writing it”.

Is there any proof of this, or just a claim? The lyrics are very personal, the piano coda was written by her ex BF Jim Gordon, who WAS credited on it. So it seems like her beef is with Gordon. Why hasn’t she sued him?

Eric Clapton is notorious for stealing sound, music and lyrics. He spent time in Tulsa back in the day and ripped off the Tulsa sound

The misogyny of the classic rock era is sickening, not forgetting to mention the entire business world.

Eric Clapton knew it was her music, he obviously didn't give a Dam. Rita was a great singer and song writer.
