ERIC CLAPTON

Hayatı [değiştir]

Eric Clapton, 1945 yılında, Patricia Molly Clapton ve Edward Walter Fryer'ın evlilik dışı çocuğu olarak dünyaya geldi. 9 yaşına kadar büyükanne ve babasını kendi anne ve babası, annesi Patricia'yı ise ablası olarak bildi.

1964 yılında, The Yardbirds adlı blues-rock grubunda çalmaya başladı, fakat 1965'in Mart ayında bu grubun pop müziğe kaydığını düşünerek gruptan ayrıldı.

Aynı yıl John Mayall & Bluesbreakers grubuna katılarak kendini bir blues gitaristi olarak kanıtladı. Hayranları, bu grupla çaldığı dönemde ona "God" (Tanrı) lakabını taktılar ve duvarlara "Clapton is God." sloganları yazılmaya başladı.

1966 yılının ortalarında Clapton yanına Jack Bruce ve Ginger Baker'ı (bateri) da alarak Cream adlı grubu kurdu, bu grupla yaptıkları 3 albümün ardından grup 1968 yılında dağıldı. Yapımcıları 1969 yılında "Goodbye" adlı, konser kayıtlarından oluşan albümü piyasaya sürdü.

1969'da Blind Faith ile çıkardığı, grubun adını taşıyan albümden sonra, Derek and the Dominos adlı grupta Bobby Whitlock (vokal ve klavye), Jim Gordon (bateri), Carl Radle (bas) ile çalmaya başladı. Grupla çıkardığı Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs albümündeki Layla, en çok bilinen şarkılarından oldu. Clapton bu şarkıyı, Pattie Boyd-Harrison için yazmış ve Leyla ile Mecnun hikâyesinden esinlenmiştir. George Harrison'ın eşi olan Pattie ile yaşadığı ilişki ve ayrılık sonucu eroine başladı. Müzik kariyerine 2 yıllık bir ara verdi. Eroinle mücadelesi sırasında çektiği sıkıntılar sonucu Eric Clapton, bağımlılara yardım için madde ve alkol bağımlılığı rehabilitasyon merkezi kurdu.

WONDERFULL TONIGHT

   G   D/F#
It’s late in the evening,
C         D
She’s wondering what clothes to wear
G      D/F#
She puts on her make-up
C                              D
And brushes her long blonde hair.
C      D
And then she asks me,
G        Em
“Do I look alright?”
  C     D     G
And i say, “Yes, you look wonderful tonight.”

The love-light in your eyes,
