Текст песни Eric Clapton Interview 4 - Cream
Eric
Patrick
Clapton,
CBE,
(born
30
March
1945)
is
an
English
musician,
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".
In
the
mid-1960s,
Clapton
left
the
Yardbirds
to
play
blues
with
John
Mayall
& the
Bluesbreakers.
Immediately
after
leaving
Mayall,
Clapton
joined
Cream,
a
power
trio
with
drummer
Ginger
Baker
and
bassist
Jack
Bruce
in
which
Clapton
played
sustained
blues
improvisations
and
"arty,
blues-based
psychedelic
pop".
For
most
of
the
1970s,
Clapton's
output
bore
the
influence
of
the
mellow
style
of
JJ
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
by
Derek
and
the
Dominos,
another
band
he
formed,
and
Robert
Johnson's
"
Crossroads",
recorded
by
Cream.
Following
the
death
of
his
son
Conor
in
1991,
Clapton's
grief
was
expressed
in
the
song
"
Tears
in
Heaven",
which
featured
in
his
Unplugged
album.
Clapton
has
been
the
recipient
of
17
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.
In
1998,
Clapton,
a
recovering
alcoholic
and
drug
addict,
founded
the
Crossroads
Centre
on
Antigua,
a
medical
facility
for
recovering
substance
abusers.
