 Eric Patrick Clapton, (born 30 March 1945) is an English blues-rock guitarist, singer, songwriter, and composer. Clapton has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Yardbirds, of Cream, and as a solo performer, being the only person ever to be inducted three times. Often viewed by critics and fans alike as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, Clapton was ranked fourth in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" and #53 on their list of the Immortals: 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.  In 1963, Clapton joined The Yardbirds, a blues-influenced rock and roll band, and stayed with them until March 1965. Clapton left the Bluesbreakers in July 1966 and formed Cream, one of the earliest supergroups. In the 1970 Clapton formed a new band, which was intended to counteract the "star" cult that had grown up around him and show that he could be a member of an ensemble. The band was called "Eric Clapton and Friends" at first, and later called "Derek and the Dominos". Clapton's career successes in the 1970s were in stark contrast to his personal life, which was troubled by romantic longings and drug and alcohol addiction. In 1984, while still married to Pattie Boyd, Clapton began a year-long relationship with Yvonne Kelly. The two had a daughter, Ruth, in January 1985. Clapton and Kelly did not make any public announcement about the birth of their daughter, and she was not publicly revealed as his child until 1991. Boyd criticized Clapton because he had not revealed the child's existence. On 20 March 1991, Conor, who was four years of age, died when he fell from the 53rd-story window of his mother's friend's New York City apartment, landing on the roof of an adjacent four-story building. Clapton's grief was expressed in the song "Tears in Heaven”, which was co-written by Will Jennings. He received a total of six Grammy Awards that year for the single "Tears in Heaven" and his Unplugged album. In 1999 Clapton, then 54, met 23-year-old store clerk Melia McEnery in Los Angeles. They married on January 1, 2002, had three daughters, Julie Rose, Ella May, and Sophie Belle. He wrote the song "Three Little Girls", about the contentment he has found in his family life at home with them.

"Layla”, which he played with the rock band Derek and the Dominos. "Crossroads”, which has been his staple song since his days with Cream. Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Clapton
