Clapton. is one of the few great guitarists that i can hear every note of his strings.. Chet Atkins once said Clapton played the most beautiful notes on a Stratocaster ever..

[@jerryberkowitz8555]

Chet Atkins knew a thing or two about guitar playing and was right on about EC!

I swear his voice has only gotten better with time. More soulful and deep. Took a great song and only made it better, simply timeless. One of my favorites of all time. Just a good flowing tune, you could actually understand the lyrics too, imagine that !

I agree, man if Eric Clapton would have played guitar on the original recording...Not to take away from the original solo guitarist but Eric puts that sprinkle of magic to the sound...

[@dynamitecreekvet]

Original recording stands on its own, but I know what you mean. Pretty cool when you can have Paul Carrack as your side show. One more confirmation that Clapton really is god.

[@coolcat6303]

He has a small following, here in the States, for sure but in general the OP is right. You mention his name to the avg person & most would have absolutely no clue who he is even though he sang on several big hits back in the 80's.

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

I seen this tour in Houston, it was a Clapton concert with Carrack playing keyboards...I saw him and thought it would be cool if he got to play his hit....next thing I knew they were playing it! Great moment, what a treat!

[@Vinylsearch]

Chuck Voellinger Dave, most singers do see an degree in their voice with age but blues singer their voices get seasoned with age.

+Dave Bass Best thing a singer can do for their voice is not smoke...

[@Inspector711]

+Jonathan Gwynne Allman smoked like a chimney

[@jonathangwynne1917]

Inspector711 I never said smokers couldn't sing. But smoking damages the vocal chords almost as much as it does the lungs and heart. Even though some smokers are still good singers in spite of their smoking, they'd sing better (and live longer) if they'd never smoked.

[@crimsonclover5399]

That Eric Clapton guy must have been so excited and felt lucky to play alongside Paul Carrack

[@lionheartmerrill1069]

[@ian7538]

Eric would have known Paul for many years, he has a load of very capable musicians he has worked with over the years since the 60's and would find it a great pleasure to play on stage with any of them, he is not a snob and very humble about his talent.

[@sharonstakes1942]

Carrick is one of the best, what they call a "singer's singer."

[@karenreardon5398]

You are so right. Paul Carrack just keeps getting better and better. I adore him.

[@livingitup9647]

I've been a big Paul Carrack fan for decades. Great to see him on stage with Clapton-- both of them playin' the hell outta this fantastic, timeless song. I was reminded that when this song first came out, I thought it was performed by a black group, with black lead singer. Nope, instead it was one of those extraordinarily inspired and soulfully talented Brits. Where would we be without all their incalculable contributions to modern music? Hard to imagine, right?!

[@TheHonkcat]

Singing is so difficult, especially keeping your voice sounding the same as you age. This dude does it so well, one of my favorite numbers from the 70's.

[@StevePrentice]

Two beautiful voices - Paul's singing and Eric's Strat. Both so smooth and soulful, laid back yet powerful.

[@2olvets443]

Clapton was no where on spot with the lead, he changed it all up and holy smokes. He put more feeling in the lead here than I could have ever imagined for this song. What an awesome sound he gave Carrack.

[@freshfilms9736]

Eric is such a gracious man and the rendition of this classic is ten times better then the original or any subsequent versions. You can SEE both artists getting into and off on the moment the song is merely a conduit to playing a new version with the best vocals by Paul and truly the best clean soulful breathing shake it up smooth enjoyable lead solos (both) by Eric... my favorite is Paul looking out at Clapton from the keyboards like a fan getting lost in his talent.. it reminds me of Keith looking Charlie back to audience because in that moment its about the music and him getting off. In this fake Arthur Murray learned dance steps and sampling ... It so liberating to see and hear real authentic artists in the moment!
