Biography
Ripley, Surrey, England (1963 – present)
Clapton’s musical style has changed during his career, but has remained rooted in the blues. Clapton is credited as an innovator in several phases of his career, which have included blues-rock with John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers and The Yardbirds (1963-1965), early single hit “Come With Me” by The Roosters, blues-hard rock (with Cream), and work as a sideman and a solo artist; he has achieved chart success in genres ranging from delta blues (Unplugged) and psychedelic rock (Sunshine of Your Love) to pop (Change the World) and reggae (I Shot the Sheriff).
Eric Clapton was a friend of George Harrison of the Beatles. It is believed that he wrote
Layla about Harrison’s wife, Pattie Boyd, whom he married in 1979 after she divorced George Harrison. They divorced in 1988. Eric Clapton has also dated singers Marianne Faithfull and Rosanne Cash, actresses Patsy Kensit and Sharon Stone, and rock muses Cynrinda Fox and Geraldine Edwards, who was one of the inspirations for Penny Lane in Almost Famous. He is now married to Melia McEnry and has been since 2002. They have three daughters together.

ReachDown, have you heard Cream, Blind Faith or Derek and the Dominos? all are proof. and King Creole - they didn't start writing "Clapton is God" graffiti in 1965 for nothing. Here we are still talking about him. A Musician for the ages.

I can't see any reason why he is considered as a great guitarist.

Then if Clapton really is God, does that mean his son fell out of a window for our sins?

He may be talented, and at least partly responsible for a couple decent songs here and there, but the whole "Clapton is God" thing is a joke.

Saw EC in Pittsburgh..great show, really was - but he only played about 7 or 8 solos. Literally song after song he let everyone else in the band solo...very much a let down, sorry EC but i love YOUR playing...Doyle is good, great even, but he didn't make me shell out $$$ for a "cheap ticket." Oh well, at least I have plenty of cds of EC solos, etc. just kind of let down.
