Tracing Eric Clapton's music career

Sir Eric Patrick Clapton CBE was born on March 30, 1945, during the Second World War, in Ripley, Surrey. He began practicing music seriously at the age of 15 and eventually joined the R&B band The Roosters. He was part of the band until 1963, followed by a two-year stint with the blues band The Yardbirds.

Following his time with The Yardbirds, the singer eventually joined the rock band Cream as a guitarist. The band attained critical acclaim with their second album, Disraeli Gears, which was released on November 2, 1967. It peaked at number five on the UK album chart and was a hit on the Swedish and Finnish charts.

Cream disbanded after two more albums in 1968, following which Eric Clapton once again became part of several bands, most notably Derek and the Dominoes, before eventually going solo.

Battling personal problems, including heroin addiction, Clapton made his solo breakthrough with the Concert for Bangladesh, an event dedicated to providing relief to the genocide-affected new nation of Bangladesh in 1971. The concert is credited with inspiring future music festival relief concerts such as Live Aid in 1985.

Eric Clapton eventually gained critical acclaim in his solo career with his 1992 album Unplugged, which won the prestigious trio of Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year awards at the 1993 Grammy Awards. He is known for hit tracks including Wonderful Tonight, Tears In Heaven, White Room, Autumn Leaves, My Father’s Eyes, and more.
