Eric Clapton - Wonderful tonight (REACTION)

[@jmhaces]

After watching several of your videos I have concluded that your grandpa's taste in music is awesome.

[@RK-zf1jm]

Good music is always good unlike modern shite nobody is going to want to listen to miley cyrus wrecking ball in 50 years but i have a feeling this will still be doing the rounds

[@TyrannosavageRekt]

@@RK-zf1jm You're right, good music is always good. That said, there's always been shite as well. Don't write off "modern" music just because some of the stuff that gets airplay is atrocious.

[@annettevandel5411]

My husband and I met on line. He was 61, I was 50. He was never married, I suffered a lifetime of abuse. We got married on a Wednesday night in a coffee shop with friends and family. The local news anchor and friend of mine sang this song for our wedding song. It just kinda happened. I never would have thought of this as a wedding song but it fit perfectly. We're still so much in love 7 years later. 💗

[@davidwhite3181]

I am 62 and never married...so I guess there is hope for me. Continued love and success in your marriage.

[@centuryrox]

India, I have to say, you have a beautiful soul. I can see it in your eyes when you listen to songs like this. And yes, you look wonderful tonight too.

[@tiffsaver]

Clapton is a triple threat... a great guitarist, and great singer, and a great writer:)

[@Frank75288]

but can he dance ?

[@normandavidtidiman9918]

He's (or was) a great guitarist, but hardly a great singer or songwriter. This track in particular is pretty insipid.

[@Mutatedordinary]

I can agree that he was not the best singer.

[@tiffsaver]

@@Mutatedordinary Dear Stupid: Eric Clapton never claimed to be the "best singer," ever. He was a GUITARIST, first and foremost. It was I who called him a 'great singer,' and your moronic comments aside, he was a triple threat because of it. And what about you?? What musical gifts do YOU possess? Name me just ONE. I'll be anxiously awaiting your equally moronic reply.

[@Mutatedordinary]

What is so moronic about stating one of my opinions online? It’s not like I am trying to convince others, and I was not addressing you in the first place.

[@JNoMooreNumbers]

It was my husband RIP and my song. It chokes me up hearing this.

[@calicodnikonian2774]

Cherish the good moments you share. You will bring honor to him by remembering him, and thinking of him often. Believe me, it works. Condolences. I extend an old man's brotherly hug to you.

[@keefmack]

You will love “Bell Bottom Blues” also by Eric Clapton as Derek and the Dominoes. Heart felt love song

[@davidward3122]

We loved the whole double lp. MAYBE India will also.

[@QueuePea]

Having watched your reaction to several love songs before this, I am pretty sure I'll see your heart melt when you listen to this beautiful song.

[@robertohuerta8348]

OH GIRL I WARRANTY YOU MELT YOU HEART TOTALLY WHIT THIS SONG BY ERIC CLIPTON IS GREAT SONG AND ROMANTIC TOO

[@michaelwilkerson7110]

As a certified old fart it is a joy to see the emotions in your face when you listen to music that is part of my soul. Thank you for exploring musically. You help to keep music alive by allowing yourself to experience it and for others to experience it vicariously through the wonderful emotions shown on your face. I have now subscribed to your channel. As a side note; as others have pointed out this song was written about Patti Harrison who Eric did marry for a time. But it's not the only song he wrote about her. The great rock and roll song by an ensemble group of musicians, Layla, was about Patti also. While this song is soft and tender, the first part of Layla is pure rock, fast and heavy guitar licks and loud lyrics, then the wonderful second half piano instrumental. For a completely different mood you might listen to River Of Tears. It's a very special song of his for me. I was heavily involved with a girl who was dying of cancer when I first heard it. Beautiful, sad, it still evokes tears. Keep up the great videos. Thank you again for making them.

[@JoeKentMagic]

To me, "River of Tears" by Eric Clapton is one of the GREATEST Blues songs in musical history.

[@teresagrainger6572]

Saw him in concert!He makes LOVE to his guitar!!! He is one with his guitar! Thank you for playing his songs!

[@annettevandel5411]

My husband and I got married in a coffee shop on a Wednesday night and had a friend sing this as our wedding song. It was beautiful.

[@msaz2720]

This was the song my husband and I danced to for our first dance at our wedding. ❤️

[@jefffournier9986]

A truly beautiful song in every way.

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

Patty Boyd Harrison Clapton is the muse behind the following songs (at least) Something (Beatles) Layla (Derek and the Dominos (Eric Clapton)) Wonderful Tonight (Eric Clapton)

[@mikelynch7271]

Bell bottom blues by Clapton is also about Patti

[@barryjamison4694]

Also "old love"

[@emilybazeddi1914]

And Pretty Girl. Beautiful song.

[@sangorilla1]

What an enchanting lady you are. Thanks for the reaction to some Clapton music. By the way, he was a huge Jimi Hendrix fan.

[@sj49770]

The first song Eric wrote about Patti was "Layla" in 1970.

[@tomwalker4398]

She also inspired “Something “ by George Harrison, as I’m sure you probably know

[@wallytverstol8627]

people from the 60's 70's some 80's had the best music, you we had it all

[@hollow_dustboot]

I love this song so much. Thank you for reacting to this song.

[@vsixx4330]

I can't take my eyes off you - you are so beautiful, your personality is intoxicating and your reactions are amazing xxxxxxx

[@morganspector5161]

I never thought Clapton was God -- there is only one God. But Clapton knows truth,, beauty, and depth of feeling. With that and his nonpareil guitar playing -- what more can anyone possibly want? I can see in your face that you would love someone to say this to you.

[@kitanoz1]

I´ts more real and intense to watch Eric do this song live :)

[@marleneadelman657]

Love this! A year old from when you played it first. This 69 year old is shedding a tear.

[@sharonstahlman2354]

Omg, i love this song!!!! Thank you havent heard this forever

[@Blue-qr7qe]

India, You have a wonderful sweetness of heart - thank you for sharing it with us -

[@armandojimenez9461]

Bonita canción ,dedicada a su hijo. Grande eric clapton salud

[@timothyparsons8327]

I always thought it was Yvonne Ellerman on backing vocals, as she did on I Shot The Sheriff, Swing Low, and my favourite, Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door.

[@gost4995]

This song breaks me every single time I hear it.

[@calicodnikonian2774]

Do you know the story and history of Layla?

[@ellepant]

A great song by clapton,years in heaven is another classic luv from England

[@devildriver9615]

You are a woman who can feel these slow an wonderful tracks, keep em coming honey! ❤️🇸🇪

[@jhpvids]

Great mellow track by one of the greatest guitarist ever. Love Clapton.

[@Mr1Gitrdone]

Tears in Heaven- Eric Clapton.

[@itsmommy100]

This is my very favorite Clapton song for many reason. I'm a huge fan! Loved your reactions!

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

Beautiful song! Like you mentioned, Yvonne Elliman was a backup singer on this Eric Clapton song. I recommend Yvonne's No. 1 song from 1978, "If I Can't Have You," from the "Saturday Night Fever" movie soundtrack ... or her beautiful ballad "I Don't Know How to Love Him" from 1971, the movie soundtrack to "Jesus Christ Superstar."

[@hectorsmommy1717]

She also sang backup on "I Shot the Sheriff". She and Katie Kissoon were his favorite backup singers over his career.

[@davidkilianek9168]

I love your reaction to this video, I could tell how much you enjoyed listening to this one. Your GrandPa has excellent taste in music.

[@rickhill56]

Wonderful. You were wonderful. A great side to a true Rock, Blues, Classical guitarist.

[@Nitro1970]

This makes me cry. I had a relationship like this, but it ended many years ago and I honestly don't think I'll ever find that again... 😢

[@djs3484]

I feel your pain Sam, i know exactly what you mean.

Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. --Henry David Thoreau In my 62 years I have found it to be true.

[@margaretrees8662]

Sometimes things get even better, believe me

[@Chief2Moon]

I liked the song enough to learn the guitar& play it...what more can I say? So glad I did too!!

[@harlanginsberg2907]

This song was written about Patti Harrison George Harrisons wife who left him for Harrisons best friend Eric Clapton. Clapton and George Harrison remained best friends until George Harrisons death. Patti Harrison ended up with neither one

[@jeaninem6868]

Lol

[@corybagley7734]

Pretty sure...Mick Jagger was seeing her after Clapton

[@harlanginsberg2907]

@@corybagley7734 Wrong Stone it was Ronnie Woods

[@jamesanderson5268]

Makes you wonder what that woman had going for her. She must have been something.

[@Leira6267]

What a fuck up. lol

[@scoonman]

Patty Boyd had some of the most beautiful songs written about her. Layla, Something by the Beatles, this one...

[@soccerapple]

This song has a very strong presence in my life. Besides being the first song I learned by Mr. Clapton (and the first song I ever learned on the guitar period) I can relate to this little part of his story. Besides the overwhelming love for his wife, the part where he talks about her helping him to bed is supposedly a nod to his trouble with drugs. As someone who unashamedly sought help for problems with alcohol, this song still hits me like a truck (but in a good way) EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

[@jdawg7388]

This is a beautiful song.

[@Mikewatchestube]

I love you! Watching your reactions to these songs from my youth makes me love them all over again, but watching you listen to them for the first time makes me tear up for some reason. Intense. You really know how to soak up a song and pass that along. Thanks for a little emotion on this sunny Saturday morning. I guess I needed it :)

[@Rubytuesday1569]

Aside from the beautiful sentiment, this guitar performance is flat out divine.

[@greendragonpublishing]

This is my favorite love song, along with Billy Joel's 'You're My Home'

[@kimtalley4496]

This is so romantic & beautiful.

[@kriseuribe3783]

One of many songs I play on my guitar to serenade "special gals".😘

[@deckofcards87]

You have such good vibes India, just like this Eric Clapton classic.

[@rochellewyndham2993]

I love this song, I sung it in Capri Italy to a Swiss couple who were Senior citizens...it was the most amazing thing ever.. 2009 at the San Micheal hotel in Capri while my company was on vacation for Oktoberfest with my then love..I did want to go to Germany, I chose Capri instead since I have never been there..it was surreal, the musician found nd was told that I sung and brought me on stage..go figure..it was AMAZING!!!! and the couple were happy.

[@raysheetz7782]

It very nice watching you react to these great old songs!

[@alanfriesen9837]

Boy, you're a sucker for a ballad, (So am I).

[@annabrisley1463]

Loved this. You seem so soft and kind and you have really beautiful eyes

[@greypossum1]

I'm so glad you did this one. It's one of my all-time favourites. It is another song he wrote for Patti Boyd whom he married after wooing her from George Harrison.

[@matsjakobsson1376]

Check out Clapton in Cream! Sunshine of your Love! Or live with Steve Winwood in Hendrix " Little Wing"!!!!!!

[@marshajanulis6092]

my late husband sang this to me when I introduced him to my family great memory, thanks india

[@grimreaper2596]

Watched a video you posted where you was talking about you being stuck and a little on your relationship and now this video so going to offer a man's opinion so when this awesome song came on and your heart didn't flutter and skip knowing that you as a amazing and beautiful woman that you are and this isn't describing how your man sees you without question then you have your answer......... Love is something you never should have to question and as a beautiful lady and a big heart you deserve love at it's finest! I was 21 when I married and spent 25 yrs in a relationship that was convenient but not "In love" now after 2yrs since she left (on vacation to Cali and stayed there with Internet boyfriend) I was able to realize over half my life was gone and hadn't felt that heart pumping, palm sweating, butterflies in my stomach emotions that brings the raw passion and feelings of "There's nothing I can't do with a woman who believes in me" empowerment that love brings so take a second by yourself and put this song on and REALLY see if who is laying next to you at night TRULY sees you as this man in song sees this woman or listen to "Lady in red"......... Every man "in love" should feel these ways and so should every woman for one another!! Just a older man's opinion with a lifetime of experience on loving the wrong one!!!

[@kurtisle]

Now I think you're ready for Eric Clapton - River of Tears....live. beautiful.

[@kurtisle]

It's a 2 tissue song.

[@annasnape1357]

I was lucky enough to go see Clapton in concert a few years back in Cardiff and I swear I nearly balled my eyes out when he played this! He played it all with his eyes closed and made you really feel the song! And man this man can play the guitar! Great reaction :-) x

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

Takes me back to my 5th grade year. I’ve always loved this song. On the show, Friends, Monica and Chandler dance to this after he proposed.

[@oldgoat9227]

This is listed as one of the top 20 greatest love songs of all time. The song "Something" by the Beatles (George Harrison) is also on the list making Patti Boyd the only woman with two songs about her on it.

[@tuckermoreland8019]

eric never used to sing in the early years. john mayall told him use it or lose it so from then on he sang, lucky for us. i'm an old white boy- 67 now. love your reactions. never fail to recognise voices, lyrics and good music, pretty much from any style of music. do yourself a favor and listen to some swing. benny goodman, cab calloway, duke ellington and many many more. my parents were excellent jitterbuggers. didn't know that till i took em out on their 25th wedding anniversary. they cleared the dance floor as everyone stepped aside to watch! listen to a tune called sing sing sing played by the benny goodman orchestra written by a black man called fletcher henderson. pretty impressive. benny played a clarinet like a lead guitar today. drum solo was spectacular. it is really really good.

[@rusynlig1]

India, You must lend your ear to Claptons "Let it grow". from the album "461 Ocean Boulevard" from 1974

Patti Boyd was married to his good friend, George Harrison (one of the Beatles) and George wrote "Something" about her (you should check it out, it's lovely) and then she left him for Eric Clapton. He also wrote "Layla" about her.

Patty Boyd Harrison, Clapton - Muse to two Rock legends. First a wife to George Harrison who wrote I need you and Something. Patty left George to marry his best friend Eric Clapton who penned Wonderful tonight and Layla. Eric and George remained best friends to George's death - n fact, all 4 Beatles were at Patty and Eric's Wedding.

[@davidbruin4381]

If you don't have a man in your life that will sing to you songs like this, I would. But you and I will never meet. For one reason I'm living in North Pole, Alaska, and second I'm probably old enough for you to call me Father. (I just turned 59yrs old in June ). I really miss singing to someone I love, or even like alot.

The Muse for this Song has No less than 10 Songs written for her . - Clapton wrote Layla , Wonderful Tonight, Bellbottom blues ( ++among others ++) - George Harrison wrote - Something , For you Blue , & So Sad , ++ - Ron Wood : Wrote

[@davidwhite3181]

India...anything by Eric Clapton is worth listen to, he is truly a rock & roll legend. He is the the ONLY artist to be inducted into the rock & roll Hall of fame on three different occasions. He along with Jimi Hendrix are considered the best of the best guitarest in rock history. I think his singing voice is one of the best.

[@dlc1119]

Back in the days this was THE 'slow dance and take her home tonight' song.

Quite a difference between I've heard this song before and 'listening' to the song ! This IS nice. Way to go when a man realizes that we need real love.

[@susanreed2802]

You must listen to Derek and the Dominos(Clapton) doing Layla, the pain in his voice and the killer slide guitar (Duanne Allman, not a member of the band) will move you to tears
