tough question to answer....it's either one of these:
"I shot the Sheriff" which went to number one, and was on the charts 10 weeks.
OR
"Tears in Heaven" which peaked at number two, BUT was on the charts for 23 weeks.
In terms of a song he recorded, his most well-known song is probably "Crossroads," which is a cover of Robert Johnson's "Cross Road Blues" that he did while he was in Cream.
The most successful song he actually wrote was probably "Tears In Heaven," which won him a few grammies.
Although "successful" is still a matter of opinion....
To his dismay it was 'For Your Love' with the Yardbirds.
