18,965,668 plays (1,120,621 listeners)
Clapton’s musical style has undergone multiple changes during his career, but has always 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), 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 also a close friend of George Harrison of the Beatles. It is believed that he wrote his song Layla about Harrison’s wife.
“Tears in Heaven” was written after his son’s tragic death.
