Kukhona abadlali emhlabeni womculo odumile, okwathi ngesikhathi sokuphila kwabo, banikezwa "ebusweni babangcwele", babhekwa njengonkulunkulu kanye nefa leplanethi.
Phakathi kwama-titans kanye nama-giants of art, ngokuzethemba okugcwele, umuntu angakwazi ukulinganisa isiginci, umculi kanye nomuntu omangalisayo ogama lakhe lingu-Eric Clapton.
Umsebenzi womculo kaClapton uhlanganisa inkathi yesikhathi ebonakalayo, ngaphezu kwesigamu sekhulu, inkathi yonke emlandweni we-rock yaseBrithani ihlotshaniswa nobuntu bakhe.
Futhi kuze kube namuhla, u-Eric udlala umculo ngaphandle kokunensa (mhlawumbe kancane nje). Usajabule, unomdlandla, naphezu kokukhula kwakhe.
U-Eric Clapton: Kwaqala kanjalo-ke konke
U-Eric Patrick Clapton wazalwa ngo-March 30, 1945. Unina, uPatricia, wayeneminyaka engu-16 kuphela ngaleso sikhathi. Elinye isosha laseCanada laqala ukunakekela le ntombazane, futhi alikwazanga ukumelana nesilingo. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi le ndoda yayinomndeni osemthethweni ezweni lakubo, futhi ngemva kokudilizwa ibuyele kweyayo.
Ngemva kokuzalwa komntwana, uPatricia wahlangana nenye indoda yezempi yaseCanada futhi wamshada. Ndawonye, abasha bahamba ngemoto baya eJalimane, futhi owesifazane othandweni washiya usana olugcinwe ngabazali bakhe. U-Eric wayebheka ugogo nomkhulu njengabazali bakhe bangempela, futhi lapho ethola iqiniso, kwambangela ukuhlukumezeka okukhulu okungokwengqondo.
Esemusha, waba nesithakazelo emculweni, elalela umculo we-jazz neblues, futhi lapho eneminyaka engu-16 wamncenga ukuba amthengele isiginci. Yilapho inganekwane yaqala khona. Izinsuku zilandelana, lo mfana ehlezi erekhoda futhi ethwebula izingxenye zomculo elalele.
Ngaphezu komculo, u-Eric wayethanda ukudweba. Ngemva kokuqeda isikole, le nsizwa yangena e-Kingston College of Art, kodwa nalapho yakwazi ukudonsa izintambo zesiginci, okuvame ukulimaza izifundo zayo. Ekupheleni konyaka wokuqala, lo mfundi obudedengu waxoshwa.
Futhi inkanyezi yesikhathi esizayo yesigcawu se-rock kwadingeka ithole imali eyengeziwe njengomakhi nomkhandisi. Ngemva komsebenzi, u-Eric wahamba wayodlala esitolo sendawo. Lapho, lo mfana wabonwa ngabafana beqembu elithi The Roosters. Iqembu, nokho, lahlukana ngemuva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa, kodwa lanikeza isipiliyoni sokuzilolonga esiteji ku-Eric.
Ngo-63, uClapton osemncane wangena eqenjini elibizwa ngokuthi ama-Yardbirds. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi isiginci abanamakhono wamshiya ngokoqobo ngobusuku bangaphambi kwesikhathi lapho iqembu liduma. Ubuze ayenabo ngaleso sikhathi wayengekho nhlobo.
Claptonis uNkulunkulu
Insizwa ayizange ihambe isikhathi eside. U-Eric umenywe eqenjini lakhe i-Blues breakers isihlabani esakhulayo se-English blues-rock u-John Mayal. U-Eric walinganisa ubuhle nobubi futhi wavuma. Nokho, ngo-August 65, wayesenesithukuthezi ngokudlala noMayal, futhi wahamba nohambo lomhlaba nenkampani yabaculi abajwayele. Lapho ebuyela ekhaya, uClapton waphendukela kumqashi wakhe wangaphambili, futhi uJohn onomoya omuhle wambuyisela emuva.
Ngo-66, abangani baqopha irekhodi elinamandla, okwathi, ngaphandle kokukhathazeka okukhulu, labizwa ngokuthi ama-Blues breakers With Eric Clapton. Akekho noyedwa kubaculi owake wacabanga ukuthi "uzoshutha" kangakanani.
Emasontweni ama-3 ngemuva kokukhishwa, i-albhamu yashaya abayishumi abaphezulu ohlwini lukazwelonke futhi yahlala lapho izinyanga ezimbalwa, futhi ngaleso sikhathi omunye wabahlanganyeli bokuqopha wayesevele ebanjwe umkhuhlane - waphinde wagijima.
Kwakungaleso sikhathi lapho imibhalo eqoshiwe yaqala ukubonakala ezindongeni nasezintangweni zesiNgisi: “UClapton unguNkulunkulu!”, Futhi emakhonsathini, izethameli zamemeza: “Vumela uNkulunkulu usawoti!”. Ngokuthakazelisayo, "unkulunkulu" ngaleso sikhathi wayeneminyaka engu-21 ubudala.
"Ukhilimu" womphakathi womculo
Ngalezo zinsuku, abafana beGraham Bond Organisation babezilolongela eduze kwama-Blues breakers. Isigaba sabo sesigqi benziwe i-duet ehamba phambili - isigubhu u-Ginger Baker nomdlali webhesi uJack Bruce.
Abaculi abakhulu esiteji, kodwa empilweni bayizimbangi zaphakade. Izingxabano zabo zokudala ngezinye izikhathi zazifinyelela ezimpini. Khona-ke isigubhu sahlala noBond, uBruce waya kuManfred Mann.
Ngenkathi uClapton ehlangana no-Baker, bobabili bancoma ikhono lomunye nomunye kangangokuthi banquma ukujoyina amabutho. Engazi lutho mayelana nobutha obudala bozakwabo bangaphambili, u-Eric wavuma, kodwa ngombandela wokuthi uJack Bruce uzodlala i-bass. Bebuhlungu izinhliziyo zabo, bobabili “abangane abafungelwe” bavuma ukubuyisana ngenxa yesizathu esifanayo. Ngakho kwakukhona uhlobo lwe-supergroup Cream ("Cream").
Ngokokuqala ngqa i-"Cream" idlalwe phakathi ne-66 ku-Windsor Jazz and Blues Festival. Laba abathathu baba ibhomu langempela, ikakhulukazi ngokumelene nesizinda sabanye ababambiqhaza. Futhi ngokujwayelekile, leli qembu laziveza ngokwamandla alo aphelele kumakhonsathi, esitudiyo la mandla anyamalala endaweni ethile.
Mhlawumbe, akuzange kunyamalale ngokuphelele, ngemva kwakho konke, abalaleli bathenge amarekhodi abo ngenjabulo - futhi awukwazi ukukhohlisa umphakathi. I-Cream yayithandwa ngokukhethekile ngaphesheya kolwandle. Leli qembu lathatha iminyaka emibili kuphela futhi lakhipha ama-albhamu amane.
I-Flash of "Blind Faith"
Iqembu elilandelayo noClapton lalibizwa ngokuthi I-Blind Faith. Ngaphezu komshayi wesigingci oyinhloko, bekuhlanganisa: U-Baker odlala idramu - owaziwa kakhulu kwaCream, u-Rick Grech odlala ibhesi no-Steve Winwood okhiye.
Iqembu likhiphe umsebenzi owodwa kuphela, kodwa yeka umsebenzi! Ngokushesha waba phezulu emashadi Emhlabeni Omdala Nawo Omusha.
Umsebenzi weSolezwe
Kusukela eminyakeni engamashumi ayisikhombisa, u-Eric wanquma ukungazibophezeli kunoma yiliphi iqembu, kodwa ukurekhoda yedwa ngosizo lwabaculi abahamba naye. E-USA ngo-70 wakhulula i-albhamu yokuqala eyedwa, ebizwa ngaphandle kwama-frills - u-Eric Clapton.
Ngaleso sikhathi, u-Eric wayesebenza kahle njengomculi weseshini, wayekujabulela ukusiza abangani bakhe: uGeorge Harrison, uLeon Russell, uRingo Starr, uHowlin Wolfe.
Nokho, ubungane obuqinile noHarrison abuzange buvimbele u-Eric onothando ukuba antshontshe owesifazane wakhe othandekayo - uPatti Boyd (ngendlela, ingoma edumile kaClapton ethi "Layla" inikezelwe kuye).
Lesi sikhathi saphawulwa umlutha we-heroin womculi kanye nomzabalazo onzima nesifo. Kwakungenzeka ukuqeda inkanuko eyingozi ngosizo lodokotela ukuze usuke kwelinye ishwa uye kwelinye - ekudakweni ...
Ngemva kwekhefu elide emsebenzini wakhe, uClapton wabuyela esiteji kanye nesitudiyo, esaphawulwa ukuqoshwa okuningana okunamandla, ikakhulukazi:
- 461 Ocean Boulevard (1974);
- Kukhona Oyedwa Kuso Sonke Isixuku (1975);
- Asikho Isizathu Sokukhala (1976);
- I-Slowhand (1977)
- U-Backless (1978).
I-Recors Boulevard kanye ne-Slowhand bathole impumelelo ethile. Bobabili ngezikhathi ezihlukene bawela ohlwini lwe-albhamu ethi "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" ngokusho kwephephabhuku iRolling Stone, eyokuqala yaba ngu-409, eyesibili yaba ngu-325.
Ema-Eighties, isiginci asizange sithele, noma kunjalo, ama-albhamu akhululwa cishe kanye eminyakeni emibili:
- Elinye Ithikithi(1981);
- Imali Nogwayi (1983);
- Ngemuva KweLanga (1985);
- Agasti (1986);
- I-Journeyman (1989).
U-Clapton kungenzeka ukuthi uqambe okoqobo noma waphendukela kokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka "okuhlala kuluhlaza" nokunye okuhlala kuluhlaza. Kusukela maphakathi neshumi leminyaka, waqala ukusebenzisana noPhil Collins, ongazange akwazi kodwa ukuthinta umsindo wama-albhamu aleyo minyaka.
Eminyakeni yamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye, i-virtuoso yakhipha amarekhodi amabili kuphela e-studio kanye nambalwa abukhoma. I-Unplugged (1992) ithole ukunakwa okukhethekile okuvela ezilalelini - ngefomethi yemfashini ngaleso sikhathi yokusebenza kwe-acoustic. Ngonyaka odlule, umculi wehlelwa yinhlekelele yomuntu siqu - indodana yakhe eneminyaka emine yawa ngefasitela lesakhiwo esiphakeme. U-Eric uzwakalise ngomunyu usizi lwakhe engomeni ethi Izinyembezi Zezulu “Izinyembezi Zezulu”.
Ngawo-XNUMX, ummeleli odumile we-rock yaseBrithani wavakashela futhi waqopha okuningi. Okuphawulekayo amaphrojekthi akhe ahlangene nabanye abadlali behlelo - u-BB King no-J.
Kamuva, umakadebona wasesiteji wadlala imidlalo noSteve Winwood, uJeff Beck, uRoger Waters, futhi wabamba iqhaza ku-Crossroads Guitar Festival.
I-albhamu yakamuva kaClapton kuze kube manje ithi I-Happy Xmas, ekhishwe ekwindla ka-2018 futhi iqukethe ukuhlukahluka kwezingoma zikaKhisimusi.
Ngamafuphi, impilo iyaqhubeka!
