What Will Eric Clapton’s Legacy Be?

I love Clapton. While I don’t think Clapton is God, like many did early in EC’s career, I do really dig his 2009 DVD Live At Budokan God Meets Buddha. Clapton is one of those performing artists who can deliver in a very broad range of genres, from radio top 40, classic rock, seventies, sixties rock,

Clapton is rock royalty, that’s for sure. The list of performers he’s played with ranges from Pavarotti to the Rolling Stones, Buddy Guy to BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, to Carlos Santana. He’s now recording and touring a lot with Doyle Bramhall II. Every time I see him in a video on stage with Buddy Guy or BB King, he knows his place and his role. He appears to be a true English gentleman and respectfully lets his peers solo first and waits for his cue, or rather, hand off.
