Eric Clapton is an English rock & blues guitarist, singer & songwriter. He is considered one of the best guitarists in the world & has had a great career in music. He was with many great groups before going solo. The Yardbirds, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek & The Dominos. He has had a lot of solo hits such as "Layla", "I Shot The Sheriff", "Change The World", "My Father's Eyes", "Cocaine", "Lay Down Sally" etc.
That's quite the catalogue!
Eric wrote this while he was waiting for his wife, then Patti Boyd to get ready for a party. Initially, he was tired of the wait, but then realized that she looked fantastic and she'd done it for him. (We all know ladies will do that.) So, he changed the tone to be adoring of her and thereby wrote the most requested love song of his entire career. Its a concert favorite (requested even more often than "Layla"), and is highly acclaimed by musicians and critics alike. When a renowned musician writes a tune that you call "cute" they are doing it for a much more profound reason than the fulfillment of any girl's Cinderella aspirations, they are telling a woman what she ultimately needs to hear from her guy. This song is also played at a lot of weddings. Since he was writing from his own life, it took him only about ten minutes to write it. Eric Clapton is the ONLY ARTIST to be inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame three times. Every note played on that recording is a brilliant performance of each participating musician and backup singer. I would suggest to all those who want their 'reactions' to be respected, that you start by searching the artist in Wikipedia and then the song there as well. This will prevent you from having to reinvent the wheel in your reactions. He ranks among the most acclaimed guitarists in the world, and beyond question is the most influential guitarist on the face of the earth. No one else even comes close to him in this regard.
Yes Sir, you have a very beautiful lady by your side and by the way, you ain't too bad yourself. Love you guys reactions!!
🙏
Eric is a blues artist. He’s known as Slow Hand because of his playing style. His catalogue is HUGE
Pattie Boyd was first married 11 years to George Harrison, inspired him to write Something (I think) then 10 years to Eric Clapton with same positive effect
Glad you guys are discovering Clapton. You have 60 years of greatness to discover!
If you really listen to the lyrics, Eric gets trashed at the party and Patti has to drive him home and put him to bed. A slide of rock star life. A great song. Do the original of Layla.
Lol this is a phenomenal description. "Gets trashed." I mean true; the wording was so on point. 😂
The funny thing is.. Him getting drunk and getting an aching head, is why this song means so much to me. Because it reminds me of my dad, who definatly liked his red wine. :)
One of the most solid rock songs from Clapton is "Badge" written by Harrison. Kinda overlooked in the total popularity of his work but always a fan favorite at his concerts. Check it out.
So the cutest thing about this reaction is how many times you turned and looked at Sam As Eric was singing"my dear You Look Wonderful Tonight" good move dude. Hope she notices on the playback!😉
😊
Hi guys, I know i'm late on this one. But I remember when this song was released back in 1978 and the one you two heard here was the recorded version we all heard on the radio, But there is a live version that is argurably the best version he did of this song called, " Eric Clapton Wonderful Tonight Live greatest version ". It is titled the, "Greatest Version" because it is. Here's why. It is much slower (9;24) and more romantic sounding that will put you in the mood like no other song. You also get to see him sing it as he plays his guitar with other band members doing their thing. This song is long because it is sung so slow as it draws you into it. There is a special wonderful voice at the end that is not on any other versions of this song. The version you reacted to here is just too fast paced to be romantic like it should be. Any couple that is in love should listen to this version of the song. Since you say you rather react to recorded versions first then, live or video versions later, you both are in a for surprize if you watch and listen to this classic live version. This live version was recorded at Royal Albert Hall, London, England, UK, 1990 or 1991.
Clapton was in love with George Harrison’s wife Patti. This song & Layla is about her. George died of cancer. Suggest the concert for George “ My Guitar Gently Weeps”🔥
George wrote “Something” for Patti, Eric wrote “Layla, Bell Bottom Blues and Beautiful Tonight” for Patti. WOW! ❤
A wedding reception is not complete until this song has played.
myself and husband had this along with three times a lady as our wedding dances
This is one of about 10 songs written about Pattie Boyd. About half by Eric Clapton, half by George Harrison.
From Songfacts:
His nickname is "Slowhand," although he plays very fast. His manager started calling him that while he was touring with The Yardbirds in 1964. Clapton was famous for breaking strings because of his ridiculous bends. When he would go backstage to change strings the audience would start a slow hand clap until he returned. Clapton has been a member of The Yardbirds, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, and Derek and the Dominos. Clapton is the only person inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times. He is in as a solo artist and as a member of Cream and The Yardbirds. In 1979, he married Pattie Harrison. She was previously married to George Harrison, who remained good friends with Clapton. Clapton declared his love for her on the Derek and the Dominos album Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs in 1970, while she was still married to Harrison. Eric and Pattie divorced in 1988.😊
You need to listen to"Layla" live the one that has 151 million views. I know a couple of women back in the 70s who named her daughter after this song
Layla was written while Pattie Boyd was still married to George Harrison. George Harrison wrote the Beatles song Something. This is the third song about her.
Great reaction Phil and Sam! I suggest you do a double reaction when when you decide to listen to Layla. The original when he was in Derek and the Dominoes is a rocker. The followup several years later is a beautiful ballad. Hard to believe it's the same song.
You are on a good rode!! Check "Layla" do the live version from 2009 its amazing.....the song he wrote for Patti (she was married to George Harrison at the time) they did get divorced later and she married Eric.... and later divorced him....
I shot the sheriff is one of his best. Layla was also 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Always a favorite
Clapton is an awesome guitar player (legend)
Great pick!
I danced slow to this song with more than a few sweet, lovely ladies back in the day.
I’ve followed Clapton sinc he was with “Cream.”
Clapton. is also up close to the top of guitarists Best 100.
Beautiful song, great lyrics, nice instrumental. Can’t beat it for a slow dance with your lovely, loving partner.
Since you kids are driving down the Clapton Road...you might consider checking out some of the stuff that Eric Clapton did with BB King. They put together perhaps the greatest Blues/Jazz album I've ever heard. Clapton is a top tier guitarist and the album is primarily instrumental but even if you don't react to it check out "Riding with the King"...terrific album.
I enjoyed his LP with JJ Cale also.
A MUST HEAR Classic With An Uplifting & Positive Message,, Argent "Hold Your Head Up"
Eric Clapton "See What Love Can Do" & "Motherless Child"
The number of musicians this man's life has intersected with over the years is just astounding. From playing on one of the most beautiful Beatles songs 'While my guitar gently weeps' it was his guitar weeping. To playing some solos for Bob Marley and for Aretha Franklin. To having set a date to record with his good friend Jimi Hendrix and while awaiting him in the airport with a left-handed Strat he'd bought him so he wouldn't have to flip his around anymore, getting told Hendrix had died in Amsterdam. To BB King infront of a crowd of 10's upon 10's of 1000's telling him he hoped he would no longer be around when Clapton died as it would be the saddest day for music and his son of course.
It's hard to phatom that we most likely never have know of Bob Marley and Reggea in the West if he hadn't covered 'I shot the Sheriff' or of the Great JJ Cale if he didn't cover 'Cocaine' and 'After Midnight' If this man's life isn't worthy of a movie than noone's is.
One of my favorite songs from Eric. His guitar playing is awesome and if possible the visual of him playing should always be included in any video.
I hope you say that to that beautiful woman reacting with you, man. Really like you all's reactions.
Tracy lawrence- paint me a birmingham. Its a great classic country song to listen to
Eric Clapton performed with derek and the dominos called layla also white room with a band called cream
Fantastic absolutely splendid love song and I wanna to recommend a mid 1970s soulful hit by Leon Haywood "I wanna do something freaky to you" great song structure it's grooven and after his passing many of the top rap artist stoled and sample parts without paying royalties, it's like steal pants and shoes off a dead person shame on them but the song is his and I dig it man, most definitely highly recommended! Enjoy and let's see them faces smile!
The way you kept looking at your girl throughout the video bruh was beautiful 🙏 I can tell yall love is real! God bless 🙏
Thank you 🙏
You have to do the LIVE performance with the ever-so-beautiful Katie Kissoon
this song is one of MANY famous songs inspired by Patty Boyd
A blues and rock guitarist but Eric’s pretty versatile
This was my prom song 😂
This song was written about Patti Boyd , First married to George Harrison (The Beatles) , then Married to to Eric Clapton (Cream) , interesting story to say the least
Songs written about Her ...
Eric Clapton - Layla , Bell Bottom Blues , Wonderful Tonight
George Harrison - Something
Rock is full of Rock Ballads…..
Layla is awesome! There is a beautiful piano solo at the end.
Eric was in several classic bands before going totally solo. The whole Derek And The Dominoes lp was inspired by George Harrisons wife who Eric was in love with. Check out the song "Bell Bottom Blues". It is so so about Patty. He also did the guitar solo on the Beatles song "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". Some cool songs by him are "Motherless Children" and "Slow Down Linda". His nickname was Slowhand and the phrase Clapton Is God was a popular thing back in the day. Speaking of Guitar Gently Weeps, you guys should really check out the live Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame performance featuring Prince. It's incredible and if you're not familiar with the song, check out The Beatles first and then feast your eyes and ears on it. I think it will flip you out.
This is How I Feel About My Wife PATRICIA ANN I Hope You Feel About Each other Bless You You Both 🙏
THank you! You too!
“Such a cute little song.” I have to say, over the last 47 years of listening to this wonderful song, I don’t think I’ve ever heard it described this way!
Have a look at Eric Clapton - River Of Tears (Live Video) | Warner Vault. It is just class.Cheers both and all the best from England.
You should check out Some Kind of Wonderful by Grand Funk Railroad.
You two should listen to Phil Collins - I wish it would rain down. Phil has Eric Clapton playing lead guitar. Trust me, you'll love it.
There's actually a great video for this one as well
My ex and I use to have a band and do this song as a cover. Use to play keyboard and sing and they sang and played guitar ❤
Here are some of his amazing performances to check it out
Nothing but the blues Concert- Groaning the blues, five long years, have you ever loved a woman, driftin, it hurts me too
24 nights Concert - edge of darkness, Old love, layla, White room, bad love
Concert for George - While my guitar gently weeps
One more car one more ride - Bell Bottom Blues River of tears, Reptile, have you ever loved a woman, Badge
2004 Crossroads fest - I shot the sherriff, Cause we’ve ended with Jeff Beck, Cocaine and Layla
With Steve Winwood - Little Wing, Voodoo Chile, Forever Man, Can’t find my way home, Presence of the Lord
All of them are live performances. IMO better to Watch then the studio version
Patty Boyd was married to George Harrison then Eric Clapton and she is Layla and yet George and Eric remained till George passed she also inspired Something
Clapton wrote this while he waited for Pattie getting ready . She was taking a bit long with makeup and picking out what to wear . They were headed to a party .
Great song.. Derek and the dominoes.. bell bottom blues.. Clapton is a guitar god
Check out "After Midnight" and "Bell Bottom Blues".
You should do a longer react to him and the songLAYLA. Big hit for him back in the da(very hot heavytune). Then somewhere in the late 90s?!! As an aucustic version.
Think we've got Cocaine & Layla coming next
Consider this song too.
RUNAWAY TRAIN. ITS AN ELTON JOHN song he did as a duet with ERIC CLAPTON. They both song n play..it's a fast hard driving song. Not the biggest hit he ever had, but the song is so good, n their performances are excellent with lots of ERIC on guitar
It's like Clapton and his guitar are singing a duet
Look for a song called Old Love by him for an opposite take on love.
6:50 Okay, you got me, I Daaaaww'd at that look...+1 subs for you...keep up the great reactions!
A staple of pretty much every wedding reception for years.
I think Derek and the Dominos live version of Layla is the song to get a feel for Clapton’s rock side. (This band was Clapton’s stab at anonymity). It’s much better than later live recordings as a solo artist
If you were to choose the greatest popular music artist of all time based on three criteria: instrument playing (virtuoso musician), singing (pleasant & passionate voice) and song writing (both melody & lyrics), Clapton would have to be on that short list. He is a bluesman whose earned his stripes in singing them. After two beautiful ballads, may I suggest a good rocker from his vast catalogue, how about "Why Does Love Have to Be So Sad" by Derek & the Dominoes!
Just wanted to recommend Change the World live.
"Cream". That's where you'll find the real Eric Clapton.
You want to react to something totally unique from Eric Clapton then listen to I shot the Sheriff
I love this song, only sad part is that my hubby's the drummer in his band 😔
One Way Out - Allman Brothers
They call him Slow Hand for a reason
The live version (official video) is really worth watching. ❤ October 2009.
This is my favorite song to dance with my wife of 33 years.
Panty dropper for sure. 😊
Nice comments on this classic song. You have an amazing ability to pause a song (as I know you are obligated) and keep it real.
Thank you! Appreciate that feedback!
Gotta react to some cream Clapton was the gutair player in that band and it's more rocky
Eric's nick name is SlowHand, he's widely acknowledged as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Check out Layla for one of the best guitar riffs of all time.
I have two suggestions for requests,
"Eva Cassidy - "Over The Rainbow" (The black and white live video) Eva Cassidy died in 1996 at age 33 from cancer before she was ever famous. Two years after her death, her cover of "Over the Rainbow" was aired on the BBC and it _exploded_ in popularity. Four years after her death this previously unknown video of her performance was discovered. It aired on "Top of the Pops 2" in Britain and became the most requested video ever in the show's history. Since Eva's death CDs of her music has sold over 10 million copies. And she never lived to know her success. She's considered by some to be the best voice of her generation! This video performance was filmed 10 months before she passed away. Her version of "Over The Rainbow" is considered by many to be the best version ever recorded (even better than Judy Garland's original) and is her signature song.
"Joni Mitchell - "Case Of You", (please do the audio only! The video isn't as good.) Joni is a legendary folk pop/rock singer. She wrote CSN&Y's hit "Woodstock". Considered one of the most creative singer songwriters in her field. The song, "Case of You" is from her 1971 _Blue_ album which is generally regarded by music critics as one of the greatest albums of all time! In 2020, _Blue_ was rated the third greatest album of all time in Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".
Eric Clapton: Rock and Toll's greatest guitar. Long solo career and a member of many top rock bands. Should try "Crossroads" by the band Cream. Hear him play the guitar the way Mie Tyson threw punches
The one you need is the original Layla from the Layal album ,not his unplugged version which is good but nothing like the original..
I have heard this a million times. Back in my bar and club days this was ALWAYS the last song of the night when the ugly girls are beautiful.
Bell Bottom Blues next please.
What can you say about an iconic guitar GOD "what they called him in the 60's". Tracked him since the 60's, have most of his recordings and yes he wrote Layla with Patti in mind.... BTW you may or may not know but Eric played the guitar on the Beatles...IE. George Harrison's hit " While my guitar gently weeps"... on the Beatles White Album.
LAYLA , WONDERFUL TONIGHT [ Clapton] SOMETHING [George Harrison] all 3 songs inspired by Pattie Boyd.
I love him as a musician.. HOWEVER as a human being.. we gotta keep it 💯.. he’s a horrendous nasty person!!! But great choice of music of his to listen to!!
That’s when song writers actually had talents to write the lyrics, music and preform. Eric Clapton was or is one of the best! This favorite love song he does. You are absolutely right, He paints the perfect picture of the night for everyone to feel.
Next ..please react alif bata fingerstyle cover "wonderful tonight"
beautiful classic from a legend.
Patti Boyd married George Harrison at Epsom Registry Office. I was married at the same place and now I am still with my wife after 54 years.
KZ Tandingan Filipino girl Say Something th-cam.com/video/2OT3S7EIyHs/w-d-xo.html P/S KZ had the same throat operation for polyps as Morissette Amon
The live version far exceeds this version. . You'd have to hear it to understand why.
This happened back in the 60’s when you guys weren’t even a gleam in your parents eyes! 😊 during those drug filled parties and music influenced by those drugs it was a unique era and some great music was produced!
Two great songs you have reviewed but neither are representative of Eric Clapton's music. Eric's wife was married to George Harrison prior. Eric and George were massive mates till Pati left George. Many years later Eric and George made up and their friendship was renewed. Eric is a blues Guitarist. Now 78, Patti Boyd is happily married to property developer Rod Weston. She stated her reason for divorcing Eric was his (then) alcoholism and Drug abuse.
“Something” by the Beatles was written George Harrison for Patty Boyd. She was married to George, they later divorced and she married his good friend Eric. So she was probably cheating on George. Clapton played lead guitar on the Beatles “While my guitar gently weeps”
Eric was absolutely head over heels in love with George's wife ( one of, if not his best friend) which he eventually did wind up with his desired Love..I think that they're still together ( not sure) ! Eric and George did regain their friendship ?
Isn’t it strange how tastes vary. For me a lot of these suggestions are among his weakest, especially I shot the sheriff. Anything from Cream, , Cocaine, and he was at his peak in One of the first supergroups, Blind Faith.he’s a rocker, not a crooner. He stands on stage behind that guitar and let’s it sing.
Patty was with Eric Clapton at first and then after she met George Harrison which was and continued to be best friends until Georges death from cancer. I have a suggestion for you to check out hey Jude by the Beatles
You also need to listen to Eric Clapton"cocaine".
You should listen to some songs that he did with Cream.
To explore Clapton's roots, go back to Cream: Sunshine of Your Love (1967).
Try the live version also, less commercial and more soul.
No hate whatsoever but he reminds me of Pauly Shore - Son in Law, in the army now, bio Dom. Is it just me lol
Apparently he was actually quite annoyed with Pattie when he wrote this. She was spending ages getting ready to go out and he took a guitar while waiting and started making a tune up singing 'yes, you look wonderful'.
I'm sorry it wasn't J.J. Cale, Don Williams I think,whoever it is it's great!:)
