Clapton launched his career as a professional musician in October 1963 with The Yardbirds and more than fifty years later, he’s still going strong. Less than two months after joining that band, he recorded his first live album on 8 December 1963. Although he recorded several singles with them, Eric didn’t step into a studio to record a full length album until May 1966. Those sessions, at Decca’s West Hampstead studios, resulted in the ultimate British Blues album: John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton.

As Eric’s career went from strength to strength, there were studio and live albums with Cream, Blind Faith, Delaney & Bonnie & Friends and Derek & The Dominos. In later years, he formed TDF, worked with Legends in a jazz setting, teamed up for albums with BB King, JJ Cale and Wynton Marsalis and revisted his past with Cream and his Blind Faith-era with Steve Winwood. Eric’s self-titled inaugural solo album came out in 1970. More than five decades on, he still has much to say musically.
