  • she adds that last touch to it tho..,its her voice that does it for me, great tune

  • #37 Lucas Davenport's List of Best Songs of the Rock Era in Broken Prey by John Sandford--no particular order to the songs. Sounds almost like he listed them as he heard them or thought of them.

  • eric claptons the shit

  • Sorry PrincessKate365...No One here speaks drunkese.

  • WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE GIRL THAT SINGS THIS WITH HIM?

  • @footballuva it's Marcy Levy (i think she co-wrote the song as well) but i think she goes by another name too.

  • Comment removed

  • never really liked clapton but as i get older and older i realize that he's a total badass!

  • I loveeeeeeeee this song. *tearS*

  • what a fantastic song it has this really fun cool vibe to it, I really like it.

  • I LOVE this song, it makes me think of the perfect summer day

  • I've loved this song ever since I first heard it back in 77. There's no way that this would be a huge hit now.

  • brilliant song hes just deadly from ireland

  • I'm not much into country music (grew on Rock/Metal/Rap/R&B) but I always liked the old school country songs. Grew up in Texas, can't help it. They play this one alot at the Cowboy Breakfast (Feb) during Rodeo.

  • I also like Willie Nelson, Tom T. Hall, and Johnny Cash. Strange for a Black/Hispanic kid growing up in Texas,huh? :)

  • I like music when its good:) I like other humans when they're good:) The bass player for Clapton on the live version, probably this one too, is Nathan East. You should tube "Cant Find My Way Home" Nathan East It's an old Blind Faith tune. It's a really good version. He nails it.

  • Hey thanks, just checked it out. It was good. My mother had some Clapton records and I would listen to them when I was a kid. :)

  • Another Nathan joint you and your mom might like is "fourplay featuring chaka kahn in NY". The band is tight. All A list. good luck

  • That was good.:)

  • Eric Clapton isn't country. I know it might sound like it, but he is actually considered rock. Also, your not strange to like this type of music because you are Black/Hispanic.

  • Cool, thanks. I have heard Clapton's other songs too. He is good. You have a Merry Christmas.

  • i cant watch this video

    SOMEONE TALK TO ME ME

  • ok get this for weird dj'ing. I was listening to Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah and as it finished I thought - what would go really well now is Clapton and Lay Down Sally. Completely incongruous but they kind of work one after the other. In my mind. Where my "special" friend lives probably... never mind, eh? :)

    BTW what a tune :)

  • Yup. 1977.

  • this was made in the 70's right

  • Great Song!

  • This used to be what my dad used to play for me when I was a baby to get me up in the morning! I remember being 2 or 3 and having him play Clapton and Fleetwood Mac at "nap time".

    Guess that's why I play music now!

  • I like it better by Rod but its not on youtube !!

    And Raughwe....r u a fkin moron...you didn't know the nanny let clapton's kid walk out the window?? Have u been in a whole?? Or wait...more likely u were probably sitting in your RV waiting for the halftime cross-burning contest at the Auburn/Alabama game! After the game u celebrated by letting your sister suck you off!

  • I have a sister?

  • learn to spell and get a life. :)

  • This was my favorite song as a kid! 5/5 - Bravo!

  • it was 1 of my favs as a 11 yr old to

  • Hey!... that's a good one! I especially like the part where you were too big a pussy to respond to my comment directly so I would see it. Happened to be enjoying the song, and saw your comment to me. I'm extremely hurt, and I may never use You Tube again, so great is the injury which you've bestowed upon me. For indeed, you have shown me that I can never hope to rise to someone as powerful as yourself, Sir. Now if yours humbly will graciously excuse me, I need to barf. Too much tie-die, u know.

  • brysherman you are a twat. Get a life you "douche-bag"

  • you call his playing strumming? wake up ass-hole

  • Hey, fuck off brysherman! He didn't let his fucking kid walk out of a window! He was gone. His wife, or Girlfriend or whatever was watching him, and he fell out by acccident!

  • He was not fucking his kid! Oh please say he wasn't. That would be one hell of a way to go. Out the window getting humped by your parent. Shit, I've seen it before here in the south.

  • Fuck you, Troll.

  • The fuck you, troll was meant for brysherman, geniouses!

  • Wow. I thought I was an asshole, but I must defer to brysher as a true master.

  • i used 2 bang a chick named sally and on the way 2 her house i would blast this song and smoke a doobie

  • LIAR

  • I believe you due

  • thats badass man

  • I mean his hair! It's weird hair.

  • Great song to dance to!

  • What awesome guitar picking:)

    If I were Sally, I would stay for sure. . .

  • i love this song, he's the best! i am soo groovin to it....

  • clapton is my fav

  • I thought Dolly Parton was the one

    that sang this with him.

  • this song is so cool

  • My very favorite Eric Clapton song!!!!!

  • This is one of the best of Mr Slowhand

  • i (L) this song!

  • Anyone know who the backing singer was? For some reason it has always sounded exactly like Olivia Newton John to me but I doubt it was her.

  • themonican2005,

    Marcy Levy, one of Clapton's backup singers, wrote this with him and sang on it. She toured with Bob Seger before joining Clapton's band in 1973.

  • I like this song.

  • Who dosent?

  • Wish there were a video of this ... the original version, with the original backup singers.

  • love this song whistles >>♪♪♪♪

  • Better than Rod Stewart's version.

  • oh, flippin awesome!!!

  • Is Eric Clapton American? Where is from originally? I hear an accent, but I can't tell where he's from.

  • Slowhand is English. He was born in Surrey, more specific: Ripley.

  • England

  • i first listened to slowhand on a night i was tripping on acid...i listened to it all night and the next day i converted to eric claptonism...

  • Fuck Jesus Clapton is the God!

  • I'm 35, the best, I love Metal but I always comeback to this, I guess it reminds me of my childhood, of being soo free!

  • I first heard of Eric when I was 12 yrs old. now I'm 45. great music he has.

  • THAT IS THE SONG!

  • this is a great fucking song mang, good drinking tunes, from your local hillbilly from fsjames

  • its a great song I love it eric clapton rocks

  • Thanks for posting this! I was named after this song!!

  • one of claptons best! not by best guitar but, it flows! I geuss you have to have history to enjoy.

  • What is the deal with you people? this is a great song....so what if its not Claptons usual busey distorted sound?.....like I said before this is one that made me start playing

  • hmmmmmm yeah baby...rock on.

  • love this song.there is nothing any twit could say to make me feel any different.the mans a class guitarist and songwriter.so enjoy it

  • One of the songs that made me pick up the guitar

  • i love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

  • great song!  I would love to see this man in concert.

  • It's not Dolly Parton, it's Marcy Levy. She backs up Clapton on this, Promises, The Core and a few others.

  • thanks for posting this. good mid 70's mems.

  • could someone please upload or download or however you do it WATCH OUT FOR LUCY BY ERIC CLAPTON please and thank you

  • brysherman was born out the ass of a retarded pig

  • He's still doing a lot for those people more than you've done i'm sure. it's people like you who can't handle the fact that they've done nothing that pollutes everyone else. He is a legend and has accomplished more in his lifetime than you could do in ten, so fuck off and quit being ignorant to everything. Love the fact that you continue to listen to this song though even when you seem to have nothing but hatred for the man!

  • i thought red sovine did this song

  • jeez, brysherman....you REALLY dont like musicians, do you?

  • he wrote the song for himself, he never intended to release it until he realised it might help other people who lost someone. people like you are just a waste of time and space. if you don't like the man don't bother listening to his music and the fact that you abuse him over his past addictions is a disgrace. look at what he's doing for other addicts now with the crossroads centre. he is an inspiration to others because he went through and came out on top.

  • dude your seriously messed up if you think that.

  • Great, Great Song, for all the Time!

  • Wow!....if that's how you all feel about MY COMMENT, I can't imagine how you feel about the nanny that let his kid fall out the window!!!!!! Jesus f-ucking christ!!! Get a life douche bags!

  • I believe he wrote the song about that himself (Tears In Heaven). And bought a probably new Mercedes with the profits. Eric once said: "I may be unhappy but at least I'm RICH and unhappy" (or something like that)

  • you're an idiot. You make no sense and you are nothing but wrong. Just shut up and die.

  • This song is the poop.. and it reminds me of..yea.. 17!

  • Reply to 'brysherman'

    Stick your head in the sand - and don't forget to cover your tracks of your stuid comment !

  • dude shut the fuck up

  • Please go shoot yourself in the head, for the simple fact of not contributing any thoughtful insight into music. So yeah.

    You must have sucked at pretty much all and feel envious of EC or anyone else...good luck in life, haha.

  • I cannot find words to define my disgust for your pathetic comment

  • You have to love the miniker, "Slow Hand" Incredible talent.

  • I love Marcy Levy. She adds so much to this song, in addition to co-writting it.

  • Eric was awesome on the guitar! I agree with Ronnie2889, this is Eric's best song. Just great!!

  • was?

    he still is awsome at guitar

  • the best clapton song

  • This one ranks along with Blues Power,Easy Now,Tears In Heaven,Wonderful Tonight,Tulsa Time and After Midnight as my favorite Eric Clapton solo songs after his Cream,John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and Yardbird's years.

  • A long-standing old favourite of mine.

    (And some great photo shots, too!)

  • fuckin´ .......FUCKIN GREAT!!!!!!!!
