I listened to this hundreds of times as a kid and teen. I never understood why this song isn't more well known.
Adam Cooke
Me too. It’s as iconic as the entire record is to me.

I have always had the same thought, it's an incredible instrumental. I'm assuming it wasn't well known because it's overshadowed by the lyrics of Clapton's other works.
Edmond Dantès
Because it's short, simple, and repetitive.
Mario Antonio
Simple, perfecto, Increíble.
