Eric Clapton Background

Eric Clapton was born on March 30, 1945, in Ripley, Surrey. He fell in love with blues and American R&B, inspired by legends like Bo Diddley and Muddy Waters. After playing in various British blues bands in the early ’60s, he gained fame with The Yardbirds alongside Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. In 1966, he joined John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers before forming Cream, the iconic rock trio of the late ’60s.

In 1992, Clapton soared with the Rush soundtrack and the Grammy-winning hit Tears in Heaven. That same year, his MTV Unplugged album topped charts for three weeks, selling 15 million copies worldwide and earning him six Grammys. In 1994, he returned to his blues roots with the double-platinum From the Cradle, a tribute to the music that had always been his source of inspiration.

Throughout the ’80s and ’90s, Clapton made his mark on film soundtracks. He contributed to Rush, Back to the Future, The Color of Money, and Lethal Weapon 3. His biggest hit, Change the World, came from the Phenomenon soundtrack. As the only triple inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, solo and with The Yardbirds and Cream, Clapton continues to captivate music lovers worldwide.
