{"title":"Eric Clapton","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith Eric Clapton's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist on March 6, 2000, he became the first musician to have been inducted three times. He was first honored as a member of the Yardbirds in 1992, then with Cream in 1993, and finally as a solo artist in 2000. While his stints with the groups were relatively brief—he stayed with the Yardbirds only a year and a half, and Cream lasted barely two years—Clapton has been a solo artist for three decades, beginning with the release of Eric Clapton in 1970. Even Derek and the Dominos, the short-lived quartet that cut the classic \u003cem\u003eLayla... and Other Love Songs\u003c\/em\u003e in 1970, was less a band of equals (a la Cream) than a Clapton-piloted project that bore his highly personalized stamp. As a solo artist, Clapton has brought his singing and songwriting to the fore while maintaining his stature as rock's preeminent guitarist.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"forever-man-too-bad","title":"Forever Man\/ Too Bad","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a beautiful stock copy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eric Clapton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48512794231017,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/8508\/9001\/files\/Classic45s-Generic-Record_1d7ff594-2c5c-48f7-a96c-6ee9d5fbf562.webp?v=1750737278"},{"product_id":"cocaine-3","title":"Cocaine \/ Promises","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on RSO 928.
