Eric Clapton

Linda McCartney caught this image of virtuoso electric guitarist Eric Clapton in 1968.

At the time, this British rocker, lead guitar for Cream, was showing just what his new instrument, the "subtle and delicate" "psychedelic Gibson" and its wa wa pedal could do.

On a recent tour, Clapton has performed in Singapore, Dubai and Bahrain. Currently between gigs, he will appear in April  with his band at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

Now nearly seventy years old, Clapton is a three time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. One of his most famous songs is Layla.
