Eric Clapton Interview 2 Lyrics by Cream

BBC Sessions

2003

Eric Patrick Clapton, CBE, (born 30 March 1945) is an English musician, singer and songwriter
He is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: once as a solo artist and separately as a member of the Yardbirds and Cream
Clapton has been referred to as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time
Clapton ranked second in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time"and fourth in Gibson's " Top 50 Guitarists of All Time"
In the mid-1960s, Clapton left the Yardbirds to play blues with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers
Immediately after leaving Mayall, Clapton joined Cream, a power trio with drummer Ginger Baker and bassist Jack Bruce in which Clapton played sustained blues improvisations and "arty, blues-based psychedelic pop"
For most of the 1970s, Clapton's output bore the influence of the mellow style of JJ Cale and the reggae of Bob Marley
His version of Marley's " I Shot the Sheriff" helped reggae reach a mass market
Two of his most popular recordings were " Layla", recorded by Derek and the Dominos, another band he formed, and Robert Johnson's " Crossroads", recorded by Cream
Following the death of his son Conor in 1991, Clapton's grief was expressed in the song " Tears in Heaven", which featured in his Unplugged album
Clapton has been the recipient of 17 Grammy Awards, and the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music
In 2004, he was awarded a CBE at Buckingham Palace for services to music
In 1998, Clapton, a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, founded the Crossroads Centre on Antigua, a medical facility for recovering substance abusers
