Clapton has won the Grammy Award on numerous occasions. He is known for being one of the most influential rock stars of the last century. He was inducted three times in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, an unprecedented feat. Fans and critics regard him as one of the greatest guitar players of all time. He made it on to Rolling Stone’s lists of both The 100 Greatest Artists of All Time and the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.

While Clapton has proven himself to be a very diverse writer and performer, his musical style has ultimately always gone back to his blues roots. He played with such groundbreaking acts as the Yardbirds, Cream, and John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. With songs such as “I Shot the Sheriff” and “Change the World,” Clapton has achieved the sort of chart success that musical artists all over the world envy.

Foam Rubber Man

After the early 80's, I learned to love Eric Clapton's music from Eric and the Dynamos, to the Yardbirds, to Cream, to Derek and the Dominos, and Blind Faith and through solo projects and even a TV commercial. But during my high school days, my local FM/Album Rock station kept playing a song that we were sure was called "Foam Rubber Man" - " let me be your foam rubber man . . "
