Claptons Early Years
Clapton joined The Yardbirds, a blues-influenced rock and roll band in 1963 and stayed with them until 1965. Synthesising influences from Chicago blues and leading blues guitarists such as B.B. King and Freddie King, Clapton forged a distinctive style and rapidly became one of the most talked-about guitarists in the British music scene. The band initially played all strict blues covers of Chess/Checker/Vee-Jay material and began to attract a large cult following when they took over the Rolling Stones residency at the Crawdaddy club in Richmond. They soon toured Europe with American bluesman Sonny Boy Williamson; a joint LP under both their names was issued in 1966. In August 1965, the bands first solo album For Your Love yielded the eponymous pop hit "For Your Love." The famous "Clapton is God" graffiti craze
Still obstinately dedicated to his roots in blues, Clapton took strong exception to the Yardbirds new pop-orientated direction, partly because "For Your Love" had been written by pop songwriter-for-hire Graham Gouldman, who had also written hits for teen pop outfit Hermans Hermits and harmony pop band The Hollies. He reportedly refused to play on the single and quit the band as soon as it had been recorded in 1965. He recommended his friend Jimmy Page as his replacement, but Page was at that time unwilling to relinquish his lucrative career as a freelance studio musician, and Page in turn recommended Claptons successor, Jeff Beck, although Page would also eventually join the band.
