Eric Clapton, the legendary English guitarist and singer, recently marked his 79th birthday.
His remarkable career has spanned decades, leaving an indelible impact on the world of music. Clapton’s soulful blues guitar a.k.a. “slowhand” playing and emotive vocals have resonated with fans across the globe.
Born on March 30, 1945, in Ripley, Surrey, England, Clapton’s musical journey began early. His talent and passion led him to become a pioneering figure in rock and blues. Over the years, he has collaborated with other iconic musicians, leaving an enduring legacy.
Whether it’s his timeless hits like “Layla,” “Tears in Heaven,” or his electrifying live performances, Eric Clapton continues to captivate audiences. His influence extends far beyond his native England, touching hearts everywhere.
Cannot forget to mention before calling Eric Clapton the blues big master on the road in 1966 when he joined the Yardbirds group and enjoyed his first real hit, on which Clapton still play the song “For Your Love”. In April 1965, Clapton joined John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. Then in 1966 came the unforgettable Cream Era, one of the first so-called supergroup, i.e. a band whose members already had a pretty deep musical background and were successful solo or band musicians. The other members were Jack Bruce on bass & vocals and Ginger Baker on drums. Silly “Q” who doesn’t know or have heard their classic songs … White Room … Crossroad Blues and the superb (favorite of mine) Badge.
The Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker the superb musicians are pushing rhythm-and-blues music together up above, may they R.I.P.
Even at the age of 79, he is not saying goodbye to the stage, nor has he lost his momentum. He is one of a kind … the most talented guitars and song written of the 20th Century. Eric Clapton enchanted previously the audience in Budapest with his awesome music such as … Layle … Tears in Heaven … (Bob Marley’s) I Shot the Seriff and so on … cannot be missed at his concert, therefore the expectations of rock and blues fans are all the time fulfilled. Whereever Eric Clapton steps on stage sure his music fans fill the house.
