ERIC CLAPTON.

Born on 30 March 1945 in Ripley. What must i say?

The Roosters (1963 with Tom McGuinness, who would eventually achieve fame in Manfred Mann and went on to form McGuinness Flint & Ben Palmer with Robin Mason on drums and Terry Brennan (vocals)),
The Yardbirds,
John Mayall (who didnt't played in this band?),

Derek & the Domino's (Eric Clapton, Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle and Jim Gordon, later joine Duane Allman, when he died (1971) the band fellt apart),
and of course under his own name; Mr.Slowhand.

And Proggy stuff? Yes of course with;

Roger Waters on the Pros & Cons album and live (his name should have bigger on the Billboard). Roger and Eric's wife drunk a cup of tea once in while, so the guys met eachother. They didn't match perfectly during the tour, Eric is someone who wants to improvise, and Rogers hang to perfection didn't allow much room for different solo's or rifs.

Clapton ('10).
"This album wasn’t what it was intended to be at all," says Eric Clapton. "It’s actually better than it was meant to be because, in a way, I just let it happen. It’s an eclectic collection of songs that weren’t really on the map—and I like it so much because if it’s a surprise to the fans, that’s only because it’s a surprise to me, as well."
