Bit of a story for me on that one, I should have remembered, because when I was learning guitar, along with the Beatles (who I can't stand) was also Eric Clapton which you have to learn as part of your tuition. And I remember my tutor talking about one song, and saying I'm not sure if the language in whatever song it was is acceptable these days, and I'm pretty certain it was Eric Clapton, so I swerved it.
I remember him doing a version of I shot the sheriff and the entire Black Music Industry hated on him for it, maybe that was the reason or part of the reason
Long before he went of the rails I saw him in the Yardbirds at The Ebury Hall in Rickmansworth playing a song that was just about to be released
For your love
He left soon after to form Cream, that was the tedious part of his career before he lost it on drugs and drink
It's so bad when you think about it, because his music was used as a learning tool, and I just think it's like indoctrinating a set of beliefs through it in a strange sort of way.
I would think his music was chosen because of the way he played rather than anything to do with his private life
His nickname in the seventies was slow hand because of the ease he showed in complex chords
Strangely there was a song by I think a black girl group that had the line I'm looking for a man with a slow hand but that was nothing to do with playing a guitar
True...yeah I remember than song slow hand, I'm thinking Pointer Sisters but probably wrong.
Oh no, I was correct, it was Pointer Sisters...

I must have had their album, thinking about it now...

They were a great group with good songs
The sixties were full of beautiful Motown girl groups with catchy tunes
Tony Blackburn used to almost orgasm playing their songs
Can't believe I'd forgotten about them over the course of time...

Almost forgotten how beautiful they were and those videos were a bit hot for that era, like Cadbury Flake adverts to pop music
