A Quote by Carole King

Eric Clapton is my dream guitarist. — © Carole King
Eric Clapton is my dream guitarist.
I thought Eric Clapton was good. He still is. Not only is he good - he's rock's #1 guitarist, and he plays blues better than most of us
Once we played at the Fillmore opposite The Cream. Eric Clapton was there and he played his ass off that night ... backstage Michael Bloomfield introduced me to Eric, and Eric was so nice. He came up to me, put his arms around me and said "Barry, it's such a pleasure to meet you" ... I couldn't figure it out... then Michael told me that he had told Eric I had cancer and two months to live...
I love Eric Clapton.
I suppose when I started playing guitar, it was the means to an end. I never thought of myself as a fully fledged guitar instrumentalist. And my early excursions on the electric guitar were curtailed when Eric Clapton came on the scene, and I decided I was never going to be in the same arena as a Clapton or a Peter Green.
I'm no spring chicken. The same arthritis that ate up my left hip that finally got replaced hasn't stopped there... And touring is a lot of work. I'm impressed when I see people like Eric Clapton out there. Gee whiz, Eric, give me a break! I know it's gotta hurt somewhere.
John Mayer will be around forever, like the Eagles and Eric Clapton.
Everyone wanted to play like Eric Clapton in the early to mid-'60s.
If I could do something with Paul McCartney it would be just amazing. Or Eric Clapton.
I love Eric Clapton and what he did with Cream; 'Spoonful' and 'Crossroads,' those are probably the coolest solos.
Eric Clapton always wanted to come out onstage with a stuffed parrot on his shoulder.
I decided early on that I wanted to be Michael Bloomfield, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton - not George Harrison.
I know he played on the last record but I don't wake up in the middle of the night thinking of Eric Clapton.
I'm going to try and make you take the Beatles and Eric Clapton as seriously as the Berlin Philharmonic and Simon Rattle.
Eric Clapton wrote "Layla" when he was coked out of his mind. Later on, it nearly killed him.
I can never make up my mind if I'm happy being a flute player, or if I wish I were Eric Clapton.
People are familiar with my songs, especially through Eric Clapton. But I have a hard time drawing a crowd, because I have been a songwriter.
