About Eric Clapton

Eric Patrick Clapton was born on March 30, 1945 in Surrey, England. Clapton was raised in a musical household, as his grandmother played piano and his uncle and mother enjoyed listening to the popular music of the time. For his thirteenth birthday, Clapton received a Hoyer steel string guitar, which he began playing incessantly. He became interested in the Blues after hearing the music of American artists like Freddie King, Muddy Waters, B.B. King, and Buddy Guy, and asked for his grandparents to help him purchase a double cutaway Kay electric guitar in 1962.

When he was seventeen, Eric Clapton joined his first band, The Roosters, and played with a band called Casey Jones and The Engineers for a month. He was then recruited to join The Yardbirds with Keith Relf and Paul Samwell-Smith in October of 1963, where he stayed for eighteen months. With The Yardbirds, Clapton recorded his first albums, titled Five Live Yardbirds and Sonny Boy Williamson and The Yardbirds. After leaving the band, he joined up with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in 1965. The Bluesbreakers recorded the now classic Blues Breakers With Eric Clapton in 1966, but Eric Clapton soon left the group to form his own band, which he named Cream.

Cream consisted of Eric Clapton on guitar and vocals, Jack Bruce on bass and vocals, and Ginger Baker on drums. The group was wildly successful in both the U.K. and the United States, and produced a number of albums including Fresh Cream, Disraeli Gears, and the U.S. chart topping Wheels of Fire. Cream disbanded after only two years, but Clapton quickly came back with Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker, and Rick Grech to form rock's first "supergroup," Blind Faith. After just seven months, that group also fell apart, and Clapton moved quickly to form Derek and the Dominoes with Jim Gordon, Carl Radle, and Bobby Whitlock. Derek and the Dominoes produced the #16 Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, including the classic title song "Layla," in 1970, but dissolved soon after.

Due to the breakup of Derek and the Dominoes, the death of Jimi Hendrix, and other tragic events, Eric Clapton sank into three years of drug addiction. He re-emerged in 1973 and began on a solo career that has lasted for over forty years. Some of the most notable material from this period in Clapton's career includes 1974's chart topping 461 Ocean Boulevard, the 1977 triple platinum ranking Slow Hand, 1983's Money and Cigarettes, the 1994 #1 and triple platinum album From the Cradle, and 2005's Back Home. Eric Clapton has also collaborated with numerous other artists, including The Beatles, Frank Zappa, Pete Townshend, Elton John, Sting, and Bob Marley.
