Notes
is an English blues-rock guitarist, singer, songwriter and composer, and the only person to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times: as a member of the Yardbirds, of Cream, and as a solo performer. Although Clapton is a very eclectic musician, he has always has a particular affinity for the blues. He is an innovator in a wide variety of genres, including blues-rock, psychedelic rock, Delta Blues, and reggae (Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff"). Having achieved superstar status in his lifetime, Clapton has also earned the deep respect of his fellow musicians. The graffiti that an admirer once scrawled on the wall of a London tube station is an opinion held by many: "Clapton is God".
