2nd guitar on this song is the great bluesman Robert Cray. I remember this song made me and a girlfriend many years ago fall in love. We were cruising down the blvd with this song playing over the cassette deck stereo in my little car. The late night summer air blew that wind of romance throughout my vehicle. We fell silent and just enjoyed the song and the moment. When the song was finished she just said "That is such a cool song," with that big beautiful smile of hers. I knew it was on from that moment.... and it was.
Clapton is one of my favorite guitar players. I could listen to anything he does. As for the blues feeling the song has it's because he's a blues player. And B.B. King was one of his favorite guitar players and he got a ton of influence in his playing from B.B. King.
You should really listen to Eric Clapton's Tears in heaven in which he wrote after his young son after the boy was playing in their high-rise apartment and accidentally fell out the window to his death. It's a beautiful song sorrowful song and in the music video you can see his heart going completely into the words. The song fits anyone who lost a young child or anyone they love
Mr. Eric Clapton is one of the best guitarist of all time.. I have all of his music and it never gets old.. They call him "Slow hand" .. They call him that because he can play so fast when he wants, or he can play a slow groove like this.
I hope you'll do a video of Sting and Clapton in the studio doing 'It's Probably Me," which was the lead song from one of the Lethal Weapon moves. They were great together on that one.
EC, and many guitar players from the "British Invasion" from the 60's, were heavily influenced by the black blues masters of the past. Lightning Hopkins, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, and many others. The U.S. was very slow to accept Black music, around that time, where the Brits embraced it wholeheartedly. Hence the amount of amazing players that came out of the UK back then. Clapton leading the way. It is also the reason Hendrix had to go to the UK to find his audience, a lot quicker than he did here...And for those who think Clapton is losing his edge, check out the live version of "I Shot The Sheriff", (and the solo he plays) from The Royal Albert Hall, I think around 2015..(Note: It helps to have master drummer Steve Gadd behind you! OMG!)...Incredible!
You're sadly mistaken. Both Nat Cole and Sister Rosetta Tharp had network TV shows in the 50s and 60s, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Motown artists and many other black performers were playing to sold out concerts of white kids in the 50s, and jazz greats such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald were national institutions for decades in the US and around the world. Jimi Hendrix played all over the country, it just happened that a British musician signed him, produced him, and directed his path to fame. Jimi didn't "have to go to the UK, he wanted to. The reality is that blues music was out of favor with black audiences by the 1960s, it was young white kids in the US, who loved the old country blues, who brought the original bluesmen out of the South and booked them in college concerts all over the country. This re-invigorated the careers of artists like BB King and countless others. I was a concert promoter for the Seattle Folklore Society during this period and recall getting kicked out of Seattle "soul station" KYAC for asking that they promote these blues artists. I was blessed to have a chance to hang out with and learn from so many of the great original bluesmen, and they were, naturally, thrilled to find a new audience for their music. It is true that white kids in the UK made blues the foundation of their musical styles, and their music was an instant hit in the US. These groups included The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Animals, Cream, and so many more. The vast majority of Americans were not racist, it is of course a tragedy that black people suffered so long under segregation, the legislation passed during the Civil Rights era showed widespread national support for black citizens. You are wrong to use a broad brush to paint all Americans as racist.
Clapton was one of the 3 guitarist that were called White Boy Blues in an album featuring them... The other 2 were Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and Jeff Beck ... They all had discovered American blues and I'm not sure if this was called the SECOND British Invasion . Clapton has been the most active and has performed quite a few different styles... Best recommendation or request would be an old one Called Layla by Derek and The Dominoes.
Amazingly enough Clapton and Robert Cray wrote this one in the studio while recording Journeyman , the album it ended up on. Like hey we need another song. Okay. How bout this!
This is my 2nd favorite album by Clapton. Favorite song from it is Breaking Point. My all time favorite of his albums is Slowhand. All time favorite song The Core. It has a Great rhythm guitar hook.
I don't know if he wrote The Crossroads or did a cover of the crossroads but he's famous for the crossroads. Also that song that goes if you want ever hang out, out on the town cocaine.
Eric Clapton - I Got A Rock & Roll Heart and Wonderful Tonight are my favorite of many great Clapton songs... Can't Find My Way Home is a great song from his days with Cream.
This is the album version, and it's pretty terrible. If you want to hear how good it can be, I'd suggest you listen to the live version from 24 Nights.
Hi Ty. I'm fairly new to your channel but I'm really enjoying working my way though your videos. So thank you. I'd love to introduce you and your subscribers to someone who I think is the greatest vocalist alive; Beverley Knight. She's a British Soul singer and I think you'd really like her. Check out her live performances. She's been around since the mid 90s and has released original compositions as well as covers and is just incredible. I'll suggest some options for you to check out and hope you're able to do so. Covers: One more try by George Michael live at Porchester hall Or A change is gonna come by Sam Cooke at sessions58 - this is an impromptu performance at a musicians bar when she was just there to watch her cousin perform (the guy on bass I think) Originals: Remember me with Jools Holland. She's been on his show numerous times and any one of those performances are excellent. Or Search for a performance on Jazzfm I can't remember the name of the track right now but it's not in the title anyway. It's just her and an acoustic guitar absolutely killing it. Thanks again. Hopefully you're able to take a look at these. It'd absolutely make my day to see you react to her. Adding your @ so that hopefully you see this! I only signed up today just to message you. @tsmith1264
The studio version of this song is, in my opinion, probably the worst one. The best one to me is "Eric Clapton - Old Love - (FULL VERSON with keyboard solo) Madisson Square Gardens 1999" This THIRTEEN MINUTE version starts with a killer bass intro from Nathan East that you will love. This really gets Clapton in the mood. From there his vocals and guitar playing run the gambit from soft sentimental to screaming mad. His solo is absolutely incredible. And of course, Steve Gadd is back there pushing him to really let go. And then the keyboardist has his own solo that will set you on your ears. Possibly one of the most emotional version I've ever heard.
Sorry T but can deal with poor me lyrics. Which is just about all of Eric's music. He screwed his life up and I don't feel bad for him. Yes harsh I know but others have had it worse.
Yeah, I just wrote the exact same thing. The solo on that version is among the best he's ever played. I was at the hall when he played it, and goddamn! People's floors where hitting their jaws!

Straight up blues. The basis of rock.
To truely capture the magic of this song watch the live version you will not regret it

Austin Matthias EC IS one of my favorites too.
I listen to EC to soothe my soul, to revive my soul. This one reminds me of my old lovers - pleasant memories in the twilight of my life.
@@wilfbentley6738 Me too, I can say EC soothed my soul as well. Old love particularly reminds of the loves that got away.

You should know that co-writer Robert Cray shares the solos with Clapton on this.
John Wilkinson That’s an amazing fact that I never knew before. Robert Cray is a really good guitarist and singer.
My favorite version because they do it together.
We had this album, Journeyman. The whole album is great but this song is my favorite.
Loe ole Clapton, he has been around forever.
Mr. Eric Clapton is one of the best guitarist of all time.. I have all of his music and it never gets old.. They call him "Slow hand" .. They call him that because he can play so fast when he wants, or he can play a slow groove like this.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cream in mamma record collection!! Clapton was in a band called Cream 🤣🤣🤣
@@susana5052 I am jealous/envious that you've seen him in concert live. One of my favorite guitarists.
@@susana5052 and oh yeah.... I haven't heard this before either. Blessings!
Check out: Have You Ever Loved A Woman? By Derek & the Dominoes. That's Eric Clapton circa 1970.
I hope you'll do a video of Sting and Clapton in the studio doing 'It's Probably Me," which was the lead song from one of the Lethal Weapon moves. They were great together on that one.
Clapton WORSHIPS the blues and pays homage in every concert.

No one can replace Ginger Baker, RIP.
Every thing he does is soulful.

bout' time you got to Eric. lol
Just wanted to let you know that your videos put a smile on my face every day. Thanks for helping me get through the day Ty !!
I have never heard this song by Eric Clapton before. I will be going on my playlist too. You need to check out Wonderful Tonight and Layla by Eric.
I was hoping this would come out of your ball! Love this song. Love this artist!
Omg this one goes on the playlist asap b4 I 4get it. I don't know why I don't know this one. Give me the same feel as Simply Beautiful by Al Greene.
Eric Clapton "Tears in Heaven"!!! It's about his son who died when he was very young. He has so many great songs and collaborations.
Check out an old song called "Little Wing" when he was with Derek and the Dominos.
Thought I knew every Clapton song this is smooth pl
Same here I think I got pregnant and I'm a guy😁
out of all the different music i listen too this is by far my favorite song ever and it is not close.....
Thanks Ty! I thought I sent you the link to the acoustic version though. Hmmm...shows you where I’m at with all this technology 🤣
Eric clapton;. River of tears
Worth checking out the version of this song by the band King King. A British blues band with a kilt wearing front man. A fabulous live band, too !
Great Clapton track even better Live. Also a great unplugged version as well
Old Love actually has the great Robert Cray on guitar with Clapton. Check out Still Hot Smoking Gun by Robert Cray. Good delta blues.
I agree that was very soulful.
Really enjoying this song💞💞
Amazingly enough Clapton and Robert Cray wrote this one in the studio while recording Journeyman , the album it ended up on. Like hey we need another song. Okay. How bout this!
From being voted the next one to O.D. in the seventies to what he is now is just phenomenal.
This is my 2nd favorite album by Clapton. Favorite song from it is Breaking Point. My all time favorite of his albums is Slowhand. All time favorite song The Core. It has a Great rhythm guitar hook.
Nobody plays like Clapton love him
I can play like him. So...love me?
One of the great guitar players of our time
Smooth smooth great. Clapton was blues
Should’ve been a live version with the good background vocals too!
The 24 nights version on CD has the best note ever played on a guitar
I don't know if he wrote The Crossroads or did a cover of the crossroads but he's famous for the crossroads. Also that song that goes if you want ever hang out, out on the town cocaine.
He really is a great guitarist but I'd have to say Dimebag Darrell and Stevie Ray Vaughan have him buy a slide Edge.
Sorry but they don't. Before either of them, there was Clapton.
Well I'm from Dallas so you won't change my opinion about the king Blues and the prince of metal. Both Dallas born and raised.
Track name is 'cocaine'
Cream ! Bahahaha ! He was in Cream.
Eric Clapton - I Got A Rock & Roll Heart and Wonderful Tonight are my favorite of many great Clapton songs...
Can't Find My Way Home is a great song from his days with Cream.
I never really had any type of feeling for this song....
I think you'll find that song is by Blind Faith.
@@SpaceCattttt You're absolutely right..... CRS kicking in...lol
@@2869may Are you referring to a fetus infection or the Catholic Relief Services?
@@SpaceCattttt I like that live version with Steve Winwood.... Some what newer one. 07 I think.
Yep! Windows down! ❤️🤘🏼✌️
Eric Clapton does a lot of R&B, you should check out the stuff he did with BB King, so good.
Live Version of Old Love Out Does this by a Thousandfold...
Go and watch 24 Nights at the Royal Albert Hall, I was there and it blows this version out of the water.
please react to another of Eric Clapton Tears in Heaven
So smooth.
This song was done way better on the "Unplugged" album
Great song and artist!
One of my favorites
TY.....So do we make request here or in the chatroom? I would like you to react to Joan Jett..I hate myself for loving you . Pretty Please? :)
This is the album version, and it's pretty terrible. If you want to hear how good it can be, I'd suggest you listen to the live version from 24 Nights.
24 Nights is one of the best Clapton Shows. Still play my cd's regularly!
Yes that one is so much better. There are a few live versions that really can move you.
This is best version.
Written by Clapton and Cray.
Cray takes first solo, then Clapton takes it.
Then they repeat at the ending.
Great collaboration
I enjoy a lot of him live-but studio as well- including this one! He’s just great period!
Clapton just kills when he does this live!
☄️💥🌈💋This song live is amaaazzing!! Eric has too much blues for my own good😭
you are ""Mr .Likes" when I watch these reaction videos. You are just too darn likeable... Is this a good or bad thing?
*social context
Gahh...the first half of the solo was Robert Cray but they showed Clapton on the screen during it!
Decades of EC
Don't say it Mon! Hahahaha Yes, I said "Mon"... hahaha
If you like this (and why wouldn't you?) You should listen to Robert Cray, I love his Don't be afraid of the dark album....R&B / Blues.
He's the best. has anyone asked for "i want my mtv" by dire straights and mark knofler????
Getting ready to go to the gym where they play auto-tuned, hip hop crap non stop. Maybe I can keep this song in my heard while I work out?
ua-cam.com/play/PLQL8vLGlM3mmh0vEpglq9x2LAPThDj19T.html
Listen to the whole CD, it's awesome, very bluesy. I think you'll like it.
Hey man please do a reaction to Duran Duran "Come undone" unplugged.
Check it out with him and BB King doing old love
Good blues song.ty could u play I'll never walk alone by elvis.
Check out spoonful by Cream or Crossroads or even I shot the sheriff , his live playing will not leave you dissapointed
Excellent reaction as usual. Try My Maria BW Stevenson?. And God bless you in the name of Jesus.
If you liked this check out,,,,,bb king/Eric clapton- the thrill is gone 2010 live video
Badge is a good one.
Yeah, the live version is significantly better. He plays it a little more forceful and deliberate.
Try the song River Of Tears live from 2001.... awesome!
Check out Papa Chubby Hallelujah.
None better than slow hand!
a live version of that song and much better
i think he listened and commented to the live version but had to replace it due to youtube copyright issues..not sure
I would strongly suggest going back to the 24 Nights live version. It is absolutely a journey of emotions, times 10 compared to this one.
PLAY SOME HITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I find NOTHING wrong with this version, the 24 Nights version is awesome, as this studio version is.
All of Clapton's stuff has blues roots. I love it.
Agreed that the live version from 24 nights is FAR better. Great song though
Yyou should do cocaine, not the drug ,the song it was one of his greatest hits
I like how he got both song titles wrong 🙄👌
He didnt do lame cuts
You did not need to listen to the lyrics version. You know better. You need to listen to/watch the live performance of this song.
Unplugged is the best version in my opinion....
Kind of a C-jazz beat

Covers:
One more try by George Michael live at Porchester hall
Or
A change is gonna come by Sam Cooke at sessions58 - this is an impromptu performance at a musicians bar when she was just there to watch her cousin perform (the guy on bass I think)
Originals: Remember me with Jools Holland. She's been on his show numerous times and any one of those performances are excellent.
Or
Search for a performance on Jazzfm I can't remember the name of the track right now but it's not in the title anyway. It's just her and an acoustic guitar absolutely killing it.

If you haven't seen this movie, I reccomend it, has Clapton songs in it, the movie is called "Crossroads"
ua-cam.com/video/X82jT_nwqaY/v-deo.html
You look pissed???????
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Another filler song by a GREAT ARTIST..... HITS FIRST, then Fillers, Cover Songs or Deep Cut songs.
Do a reaction video to Dimash
He's definitely playing his BB King influence on the guitar in this one
You just need to do the entire Unplugged album by Eric Clapton.
try some ry cooder get rhythm
Sorry T but can deal with poor me lyrics. Which is just about all of Eric's music. He screwed his life up and I don't feel bad for him. Yes harsh I know but others have had it worse.
He didn't write these lyrics...
It is a musical form called "The Blues."
Amazingly, this is the worst version of this song. Lol...
The live Albert hall 24 nights version is a much better version to listen to
Yeah agree the unplugged version is amazing
Yeah, I just wrote the exact same thing. The solo on that version is among the best he's ever played.
I was at the hall when he played it, and goddamn! People's floors where hitting their jaws!
teppolundgren yes was a special solo he did that night
