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 cream

in the mid-1960s, clapton left the yardbirds to play blues with john mayall & the bluesbreakers
immediately after leaving mayall, clapton joined cream, a power trio with drummer ginger baker and b-ssist jack bruce in which clapton played sustained blues improvisations and “arty, blues-based psychedelic pop”
for most of the 1970s, clapton’s output bore the influence of the mellow style of jj cale and the reggae of bob marley
his version of marley’s ”
i shot the sheriff” helped reggae reach a m-ss market
two of his most popular recordings were ”
layla”, recorded by derek and the dominos, another band he formed, and robert johnson’s ”
crossroads”, recorded by cream
following the death of his son conor in 1991, clapton’s grief was expressed in the song ”
tears in heaven”, which featured in his unplugged album
