About Eric Clapton
In the mid-60s, the words “Clapton is God” became a familiar spray-painted sight around London, but throughout his career, the artist born Eric Patrick Clapton in 1945 has carried himself with the humility of a mere mortal.
After all, this was a guy who left British Invasion trailblazers The Yardbirds in 1965 because he felt they were becoming too commercial.
Never one for the outsized theatrics of peers like Jimi Hendrix or Jimmy Page, Clapton favored a more graceful style that mainlined the pain and longing at the heart of the blues.
