AMG Review of The Cream of Clapton
William Ruhlmann
All Music GuideEric Clapton was contracted to Polydor Records from 1966 to 1981, first as a member of Cream, then Blind Faith, and later as a solo artist and as the leader of Derek and the Dominos. The 19-track, 79-minute Cream of Clapton disc surveys his career, presenting an excellent selection from the period, including the Cream hits "Sunshine of Your Love," "White Room," and "Crossroads"; "Presence of the Lord," Clapton's finest moment with Blind Faith; "Bell Bottom Blues" and "Layla" from Derek and the Dominos; and 11 songs from Clapton's solo work, among them the hits "I Shot the Sheriff," "Promises," and "I Can't Stand It." The selection is thus broader and better than that found on 1982's Time Pieces collection, and with excellent sound and liner notes by Clapton biographer Ray Coleman, The Cream of Clapton stands as the single-disc best-of to own for Clapton's greatest recordings. [Not to be confused with the popular 1987 Polydor (U.K.) compilation The Cream of Eric Clapton.]

Here is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. It's from the Ricky Gervais radio show in 2005, with Karl Pilkington explaining why Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" is clearly about a man in a wheelchair. I listen to these old radio shows on my iPod walking home from work most days, and the first day I heard this it made me choke, trying to keep my laughing in. There was crying. Enjoy!
