Eric Clapton

 Eric  Clapton is one of the best classic rock artists in this time. When Eric was young  he was really into  rock and roll and that is because in 1958  rock and roll exploded in Britain and For Eric's 13th birthday he wanted a guitar. After he got that guitar his life changed; when he was 16 he when to Kingston college of art. When he was  there the only thing he did was play the blues on the guitar.In 1963 he was in the band  called the yard birds  he had little success  with the band.  But he  being only to years with the band he got fed up with the band  and left! Later that year  Eric Clapton joined The blues band John Mayall & the Blues breakers.In the  next year recording they named their album  The Blue breakers and Eric Clapton and in this album Eric got the  praze of  being the greatest guitarist of his age! Even though everything was going  good in this band Eric Clapton left and a month later  He joined up with jack Bruce and ginger baker to form the band cream. When Eric Clapton was in this band he had a lot more success with his guitar playing stills  and that  The band had  three great albums and they were called Fresh cream, Wheels on fire and Disraeli gears. That this band did a lot of  touring in the united states and they got the status of the international Super star. But like all bands that Eric Clapton is in they broke up  and they broke up this bands is because everyone egos were getting way to big so Eric left the band. After that he really didn't have to much success, he tryed joining a few different bands but they never went anywhere. But a big accomplishment Eric Clapton had was in 2000 When he was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame!
