As the only person ever inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times (once as a solo artist and then again with the bands The Yardbirds and Cream), Eric Clapton is certainly one of the most influential and recognized rock and roll musicians of all time. Clapton was a recovering alcoholic and drug user, but to his credit, he and Richard Conte (CEO of The Priory Hospitals Group and Transitional Hospitals Corporation) co-founded the Crossroads Centre, a medical facility for recovering substance abusers. One of his hit songs, “Layla,” as well as much of the album “Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs,” recorded with the band Derek and the Dominoes, was influenced by his infatuation with George Harrison’s wife, Pattie Boyd. Her rejection of his advances seemed to inspire much of the bluesy album. Download and print Eric Clapton sheet music, including “Layla,” “Tears in Heaven,” and “Wonderful Tonight.” |
