Eric Clapton

- often described as one of the most influential guitarists in rock history, is a British music legend. He was born on 30. March 1945 in Ripley, Surrey, England.

Clapton achieved worldwide fame through his exceptional guitar skills, his unique songwriting and his ability to combine blues and rock music.

The following is a detailed overview of his life and career:

Eric Patrick Clapton was born under difficult circumstances: his mother was only 16 years old and his father, a Canadian soldier, returned to Canada after the war.

Clapton grew up with his grandparents, who he initially thought were his parents.

This family situation had an emotional impact on him.

He discovered his love of music in his youth and was strongly influenced by artists such as Muddy Waters, B.B. King and Robert Johnson. He got his first guitar at the age of 13 and although he had difficulties at first, he practised tirelessly.

Clapton's career began in the early 1960s when he became a member of the Yardbirds, a band that combined blues with rock.

He left the band in 1965 because, in his opinion, it was turning too much towards commercial pop.

His next stop was John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, where he cemented his reputation as an exceptional guitarist. It was during this time that the famous graffiti inscription ‘Clapton is God’ appeared in London, emphasising his status as a musical genius.

Blind Faith and solo career

After the end of Cream, Clapton founded Blind Faith, another supergroup, together with Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker and Ric Grech.

The band only released one album and split up soon afterwards.

Clapton began his solo career in the early 1970s. His debut album ‘Eric Clapton’ (1970) contained songs such as ‘After Midnight’ and marked the beginning of an impressive career as a solo artist.

Derek and the Dominos and ‘Layla’

In 1970, Clapton founded Derek and the Dominos. The band released the album ‘Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs’, which is considered one of the best rock albums.

The title track ‘Layla’ was inspired by Clapton's unrequited love for Pattie Boyd, the then wife of his friend George Harrison.

This emotional intensity made the song a classic.

Personal struggles and comeback

Clapton's career was overshadowed by personal problems such as his heroin addiction in the 1970s. After a successful stint in rehab, he returned in 1974 with the album ‘461 Ocean Boulevard’, which included the hit ‘I Shot the Sheriff’.

In the following decades, Clapton enjoyed further success with albums such as ‘Slowhand’ (1977), which contained classics such as ‘Cocaine’ and ‘Wonderful Tonight’.

The 1990s: ‘Tears in Heaven’ and personal tragedies

The 1990s were characterised by a terrible tragedy: Clapton's four-year-old son Conor died in an accident in 1991.

This experience inspired the heartbreaking song ‘Tears in Heaven’, which received great attention worldwide.

Clapton continued to release successful albums such as ‘Unplugged’ (1992), which contained an acoustic version of ‘Layla’ and won several Grammys.

Clapton's guitar style is characterised by his ability to convey emotion through his playing. His unmistakable tone, his fluid blues licks and his use of Fender Stratocaster guitars made him a role model for generations of guitarists.

With more than 280 million records sold worldwide, he is one of the most successful artists in the world.

He is a 17-time Grammy winner and the only musician to be a three-time member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: as a solo artist, as a member of the Yardbirds and as a member of Cream.

Eric Clapton is not only an outstanding musician, but also a symbol of overcoming and artistic consistency. His music has had a decisive influence on blues and rock history, and he remains one of the most influential personalities in modern music.
