Clapton′s name was established as one of the world′s major rock stars playing in the Yardbirds, John Mayall′s Bluesbreakers, the Cream, and Blind Faith.
In 1970 he started his solo career by releasing the album Eric Clapton which contained the major hit After Midnight.
Clapton′s popularity waned somewhat in the first half of the ′80s, as the albums Money and Cigarettes (February 1983), Behind the Sun (March 1985), and August (November 1986) indicated a certain career stasis. But he was buoyed up by the release of the box set retrospective Crossroads (April 1988), which seemed to remind his fans of how great he was.
In March 1992, Clapton recorded a concert for MTV Unplugged that, when released on an album in August, became his biggest-selling record ever. In 2000, Clapton teamed up with old friend BB King on Riding With the King, a set of blues standards and material from contemporary singer/songwriters.
