The Speculations About Eric Clapton And George Harrison's Secret Collaboration
Eric Clapton and George Harrison had a friendship many would admire. Clapton met the Beatles members while he was in the Yardbirds — he was the supporting act for their Christmas Show at London’s Hammersmith Odeon. Although Clapton and the Fab Four had a strong bond that lasted for years, the Beatle he felt closest to was George Harrison. So, the Hammersmith Odeon show marked the beginning of a long-lasting friendship between the two.
Clapton and Harrison teamed up and worked on several music projects throughout the years. On Cream’s fourth and final studio record ‘Goodbye,’ the two collaborated on the song ‘Badge.’ They wrote it together as Clapton couldn’t finish the song by himself on time. Eric also helped George with a Beatles song — during the recordings of ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps,’ the Beatle invited Clapton to help him anonymously.
