Eric Clapton

I think you are referring to Eric Clapton's song Hello Old Friend. It was on his 4 Disc Box Set Crossroads released in 1988. In 1976 he released a single with the song, it make it to #24 on the charts. It was also on an album in 1976 called No Reason To Cry. I'm sure it appeared on other albums, because in modern music they seem to keep releasing old music and adding a few tracks to it. Also it seems like there are a lot more best of, and boxed sets. See below for some links, one of them is the lyrics.

It definatley was not Clapton, not unless he was in the group that sang it.

RESPONSE:Did you read anything in the links below? Clapton was in a lot of bands. Educate yourself before you answer a question.

RESPONSE: To Mr Educated I know it was not Clapton, If you can come up with the right song great , Ive just played Hello old friend and that is definatley not the one I'm thinking of, please do not assume your perfect.

Eric Clapton is a world-renowned guitarist, born in the UK in 1945. Over a career spanning several decades, he has recorded many notable songs including 'Layla', 'Wonderful Tonight', 'Lay Down Sally' and 'Behind The Mask'. He also scored a major US hit with a cover of Bob Marley's 'I Shot The Sheriff'.

19 Grammies and too many others to mention.

Lots of people!! George Harrison, Jack B...ruce, Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood, Ravi Shankar, B.B. King, Carl Perkins, Ringo Starr, John Mayall, John Lennon, Yoko Ono--many more...

Girlfriends/Wives--Patty Boyd Harrison, Ronnie Spector, Carla Bruni, current wife Melia, Sheryl Crow, Yvonne Ellliman--lots more

The lyrics to 'Wonderful Tonight', written by Eric Clapton, can be found in various online locations. Some popular websites that have the lyrics available include the Lyrics Freak website, the Metro Lyrics website, the eLyrics website and the Eric Clapton Unofficial Website.

Eric Clapton has been in bands such as John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, The Yardbirds, Cream, Blind Faith, Delaney & Bonnie, Derek & the Dominoes. He has recorded with other artists such as the Blues Brothers Band, B.B. King, Howling Wolf, King Curtis, Pete Townshend, Ron Wood, Jim Capaldi, The Beatles, George Harrison, to mention just a few. His various backup bands have included a further impressive list of rock and blues luminaries too numerous to mention.

Even though Rod Stewart has been singing for over forty years and has been in a number of bands, he has had only one Christmas album. His Christmas album, Merry Christmas Baby, was released in 2012.

He hasn´t died yet. He´s still alive and kicking.

Yes. Phil Collins was a member of Eric's band for a while,toured as such and worked on the albums 'Behind The Sun' and 'August'.

The one he is seen with most is a Fender Stratocaster. When he was in Cream he used Gibson guitars mainly. I saw a picture of him with a Gibson SG, and there was one called a Firebird, I believe. Sorry, I thought you said guitar.

Massively so.

One of the most influential guitarists of all time. With Cream he transcended everything before and paved the way for a whole new foundation of rock music that directly lead to the types of Led Zeppelin and so many others.

He was also influential in the rennaisance of American blues as a core musical format and popularised reggae.

Still going strong today he is now legendary at 65.

He could hardly have impacted music more.

I am a musician and composer I write secular music (with a message) and christian music. I have taken some of my secular music and change the words to christian. Eric with all the songs you have writen over the years you could change the words, using the same music background that everyone loves, to christian and you would open the doors to a new audiance, and sell more albums. My name is Armand J. Horta my EMail is ahorta@cox.net. I have a website armandjhortaenterprise.com, check it out and it explains what I am doing and this week I will have 3 Free songs too down load. In the near future I am making my debute with 3 CDs one is SOFT ROCK and BALLARDS the 2nd is HARD ROCK and the 3rd is CHRISTIAN ROCK.
