Read Full BioEric Patrick Clapton, CBE (born 30 March 1945), is an English rock and blues guitarist, 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 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.

The Yardbirds Lyrics
Boom, boom, boom, boom
I'm gonna shoot you right down
Knock you off of your feet
And take you home with me
Put you in my house
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I love to see you strut
When you're walking to me
When you're talking to me
That knocks me out
Boom, boom, boom, boom
You know I like it like that
With your baby-talk
Oh and the way that you walk
You know it knocks me right down
Knocks me off of my feet
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
How, how, how, how
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now, now, now, now

02 Eric Clapton and The Yardbirds - Honey In Your Hips Lyrics - From the Album - CD01 1988 - Eric Clapton - Crossroads When I get out on the dancing floor, There ain't no stopping for an hour or more, I go rocking up and down and around and round, I go reeling to the beat of that crazy sound. I can't stop, I want to kiss your pretty lips, 'Cause I know, pretty babe, you got honey in your hips. I can't stop my feet and I can't stop my hands, When I hear the sound of a rock 'n' roll band. Gotta rock, gotta roll, gonna jump and shout; Nobody better come and turn me out. I'm staying all night till I get my kicks, 'Cause you know, pretty babe, You got honey in your hips. Musical Interlude I want you and you want me, We're gonna dance all night till we both feel free, We'll shake and we'll shimmy right across the floor, When it gets late, we'll dance out the door. You better get ready with your pretty lips, 'Cause you know, pretty babe, you got honey in your hips. Musical Outro
