与乔治.哈里森
Eric Patrick Clapton, CBE (born 30 March 1945), is an English rock and blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: once as a solo artist and separately as a member of the Yardbirds and Cream. Clapton has been referred to as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time.Clapton ranked second in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" and fourth in Gibson's "Top 50 Guitarists of All Time". He was also named number five in Time magazine's list of "The 10 Best Electric Guitar Players" in 2009.
In the mid-1960s Clapton left the Yardbirds to play with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. Immediately after leaving Mayall, Clapton formed the power trio Cream with drummer Ginger Baker and bassist Jack Bruce, in which Clapton played sustained blues improvisations and "arty, blues-based psychedelic pop".[5] After Cream broke up, he formed blues rock band Blind Faith with Baker, Steve Winwood, and Ric Grech. Clapton's solo career began in the 1970s, where his work bore the influence of the mellow style of J. J. Cale and the reggae of Bob Marley. His version of Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff" helped reggae reach a mass market.Two of his most popular recordings were "Layla", recorded with Derek and the Dominos; and Robert Johnson's "Crossroads", recorded with Cream. Following the death of his son Conor in 1991, Clapton's grief was expressed in the song "Tears in Heaven", which was featured on his Unplugged album.
Clapton has been the recipient of 18 Grammy Awards, and the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. In 2004 he was awarded a CBE at Buckingham Palace for services to music. He has received four Ivor Novello Awards from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors, including the Lifetime Achievement Award. In his solo career, Clapton has sold more than 130 million records worldwide. In 1998, Clapton, a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, founded the Crossroads Centre on Antigua, a medical facility for recovering substance abusers.

1981年,应制作人马丁·李维斯的邀请,。这几场演出预示着克莱普顿的归来。
1984年,他为罗格·瓦特(Roger Waters)的个人专辑伴奏,在专辑发布后和瓦特一起巡回演出。他们一直保持着深厚的友谊,2005年再度携手参加海啸救济基金义演。2006年5月20日,两人又一起在海克利尔城堡(Highclere Castle)为支持农村联盟演出,表演了“希望你曾来到这里”(Wish You Were Here)和“舒服的麻木”(Comfortably Numb)。
1980年代,克莱普顿持续推出新作,包括两张由菲尔·柯林斯制作的唱片,一张是于1985年推出的《太阳后面》(Behind the Sun),其中有两首热门金曲,“永远的男人”(Forever Man)和“她在等待”(She's Waiting)。另一张唱片是于1986年推出的《八月》(August)。
《八月》,带有柯林斯鲜明风格的鼓点的完美演绎,至今为止是克莱普顿在英国销量最好的一张唱片,使他在音乐上的成就达到一个新的位置。第一面第三首歌曲“它伴你一路前行”(It's In The Way That You Use It)登上排行榜冠军,是汤姆·克鲁斯和保罗·纽曼(Paul Newman)合作的电影“金钱的颜色”(The Color of Money)的配乐。其它的热门歌曲还有“奔跑”(Run)、“撕开美国”(Tearing Us Apart)和“想念你”(Miss You)。

1999年,54岁的克莱普顿在洛杉矶结识了年仅23岁的绘画师玛利亚·麦克埃纳里。他们于2002年在克莱普顿的家乡里普利圣玛利亚·抹大拉教堂结婚。他们一共有三个女儿,朱莉·罗斯(2001年出生)、埃拉·梅(2003年出生)和索菲(2005年出生)。他为她们创作了歌曲“三个小女孩”(Three Little Girls)。
2001年克莱普顿发行大碟《卑鄙》(Reptile)。

I felt the anger run through my soul
All I need is a hand to hold
Oh I feel the end has come

Lying here safe with thee

9.Say What You Will
Say what you will
Good love is hard to find
I've had my fill of the hurting kind
Take a lot of money
To buy up all the pain
Take a lot of honey
To fill me up and put me back
On my feet again
You've seen the worst
Still you find the best of me
My love was cursed
Loosing destiny
Take a lot of living
To dry up all the tears
Take a lot of grinning
To cheer me up and put me back
On my feet again
You know I needed a friend
I could tell my troubles to
And you have been my friend
So I will give my love to you
Good love from me to you
Here it comes again
I feel I'm not good enough
Can't remember when
It ever felt so tough
Take a lot hugging
Drive away the fear
Take a lot of loving
To pick me up and put me back
On my feet again
You know I needed a friend
I could tell my troubles to
And you have been my friend
So I will give my love to you
Good love from me to you
I know you needed a friend
You could tell your troubles to
And I'll be your friend
And I will give my love to you
Good love from me to you
Good love
Good love
Good love from me to you
Good love
