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 of 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". He was also named number five in Time magazine's list of "The 10 Best Electric Guitar Players" in 2009.

In the mid-1960s Clapton left the Yardbirds to play with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. Immediately after leaving Mayall, Clapton formed the power trio Cream with drummer Ginger Baker and bassist Jack Bruce, in which Clapton played sustained blues improvisations and "arty, blues-based psychedelic pop". After Cream broke up, he formed blues rock band Blind Faith with Baker, Steve Winwood, and Ric Grech. Clapton's solo career began in the 1970s, where his work bore the influence of the mellow style of J. J. 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 with Derek and the Dominos; and Robert Johnson's "Crossroads", recorded with Cream. Following the death of his son Conor in 1991, Clapton's grief was expressed in the song "Tears in Heaven", which was featured on his Unplugged album.

Clapton has been the recipient of 18 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. He has received four Ivor Novello Awards from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors, including the Lifetime Achievement Award. In his solo career, Clapton has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling musicians of all time. In 1998, Clapton, a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, founded the Crossroads Centre on Antigua, a medical facility for recovering substance abusers.

01 Eric Clapton - Badge (4 Piece Band) Lyrics from The Album - CD01 - 1991 - Eric Clapton - 24 Nights



I'm thinkin' 'bout the times you drove in my car
I'm thinkin' that I might have drove you too far
And I'm thinkin' 'bout the love that you laid on my table

Told you not to wander 'round in the dark
Told you 'bout the swans that they live in the park
Then I told you 'bout our kid, he's married to Mabel

Well, I told you that the light goes up and down
Don't notice how the wheel goes 'round?
And you better pick yourself up off the ground
All they do is the curtain down
Yes, before they pull the curtain down

Musical Interlude

Talkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you
She didn't have the time to wait in the queue
She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle

Musical Interlude

Love is my badge, love is my badge
Love is my badge, love is my badge
Love is my badge, love is my badge
Love is my badge, love is my badge

02 Eric Clapton - Running On Faith (4 Piece Band) Lyrics from The Album - CD01 - 1991 - Eric Clapton - 24 Nights


Lately I've been running on faith
What else can a poor boy do
But my world will be right
Love comes over you

Lately I've been talking in my sleep
And I imagine what I'd have to say
Except my world will be right
Love comes back your way

I've always been
One to take each and every day
Seems like by now
I'd find a love who cared just for me

Then we'd go running on faith
All of our dreams would come true
And our world would be right
Love comes over me and you

I've always been
One to take each and every day
Seems like by now
I'd find a love who cared just for me

Then we'd go running on faith
All of our dreams would come true
And our world will be right
Love comes over me and you
Yes it would

And love comes over you
Love comes over you
Love comes over you
Love comes over you
All our dreams come through
Love comes over you
Love comes over you
All our dreams come through

Musical Interlude

Real Love comes over you
Real Love comes over you
Real Love comes over you
Love comes over you
All our dreams come through
Love comes over you
Love comes over you
Loves come over you

03 Eric Clapton - White Room (4 Piece Band) Lyrics from The Album - CD01 - 1991 - Eric Clapton - 24 Nights


In the white room with black curtains by the station
Black roof country,
No gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

You said no strings could secure you at the station
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
Been I walked out, felt my own need just beginning

I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
Now she's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings

I'll wait in this place with the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

06 Eric Clapton - Have You Ever Loved A Woman (Blues Band) Lyrics from The Album - CD01 - 1991 - Eric Clapton - 24 Nights


Musical Intro

Have you ever loved a woman
So much you tremble in pain
Have you ever loved a woman
So much you tremble in pain
All the time you know it
She bears another man's name.

Have you ever loved a woman
So much it's a shame and a sin
Have you ever loved a woman
So much it's a shame and a sin
All the time you know
She belongs to your very best friend.

Musical Interlude

Have you ever loved a woman
And you know you can't leave her alone
Have you ever loved a woman
And you know you can't leave her alone
Something deep inside of you
Won't let you wreck your very best friend's home.

Oh lordy Lord, oh lordy Lord.
It hurts me so bad for us to part.
But someday baby,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.

You're on my mind every place I go.
How much I love you, nobody know.
But, someday baby,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.

So many days since you went away.
I've had to worry both night and day.
Yeah, but someday baby,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.

So many nights since you've been gone.
I've been worried, grieving my life alone.
Yeah, but someday babe,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.

Goodbye baby, I don't care what you do.
'Cause someday babe,
All I ain’t gonna worry my life any more.

08 Eric Clapton - Hoodoo Man (Blues Band) Lyrics from The Album - CD01 - 1991 - Eric Clapton - 24 Nights


Well, I wonder, what's exactly the matter
Child you know the time
Seemed like an hour
Everything had changed

But I hold up my head
Girl, I'm just trying to make you understand
Well now, everybody tell me
Somebody hoodoo'd the hoodoo man

Well now, I buzzed your bell this morning
You had your elevator run slow
I buzzed your bell in, woman
Take me on the third floor

Well, I hold up my head
Girl, I'm just trying to make you understand
Well now, everybody tell me
Somebody hoodoo'd the hoodoo man

Musical Interlude

Well, I buzzed your bell this morning
You had your elevator run slow
I buzzed your bell in, woman
Take me on the third floor

I hold up my head
Girl, I'm just trying to make you understand
Well now, everybody tell me
Somebody hoodoo'd the hoodoo man

Music Interlude

Well, I wonder, what's exactly the matter
Child you know the time
Seemed like an hour
Everything had changed

I hold up my head
Girl, I'm just trying to make you understand
Well now, everybody tell me
Somebody hoodoo'd the hoodoo man

01 Eric Clapton - Pretending (9 Piece Band) Lyrics from The Album - CD02 - 1991 - Eric Clapton - 24 Nights

Musical Intro

How many times must we tell the tale
How many times must we fall
Living in lost memory
You just recalled

Working on the sound of the band
Trying to get the music right
Two go out working
Three stay home at night

That's when she said she was pretending
Like she knew the plan
That's when I knew she was pretending
Pretending to understand

Pretending
Pretending
Pretending
Pretending

Satisfied but lost in love
Situations change
You never knew who you used to think you are
How strange

That's when she said she was pretending
And she knew the plan
That's when I knew she was pretending
Pretending to understand

Pretending
Pretending
Pretending
Pretending
(Pretending, pretending)

Musical Interlude

I get lost in alibis
Sadness can't prevail
Everybody knows strong love
Can't fail

Don't be pretending
about how you feel
Don't be pretending
Your love is real
Don't be pretending
About how you feel
Don't be pretending
Your love is real

Pretending
Pretending
Pretending
Pretending
(Pretending, pretending)

02 Eric Clapton - Bad Love (9 Piece Band) Lyrics from The Album - CD02 - 1991 - Eric Clapton - 24 Nights

Musical Intro

Oh what a feeling I get when I'm with you
You take my heart into everything you do
And it makes me sad for the lonely people
I walked that road for so long
And I know that I'm one of the lucky people
Your love is making me strong

Had enough, bad love
I need something I can be proud of
Had enough, bad love
No more bad love

And now I see that my life has been so blue
With all the heartaches I had till I met you
But I'm glad to say now that's all behind me
With you here by my side
And there's no more memories to remind me
Your love will keep me alive

Had enough, bad love
I need something I can be proud of
Had enough, bad love
No more bad love

Musical Interlude

I've had enough, bad love
I need something I can be proud of
I've had enough, bad love
No more bad love

I've had enough, bad love
I need something I can be proud of
I've had enough, bad love
No more bad love

Had enough
Had enough
Had enough
