Disraeli Gears contained Clapton's searing guitar lines, Bruce's soaring vocals and prominent, fluid bass playing, and Baker's powerful, polyrhythmic jazz-influenced drumming.

In 28 months, Cream had become a commercial success, selling millions of records and playing throughout the US and Europe. They redefined the instrumentalist's role in rock and were one of the first blues-rock bands to emphasise musical virtuosity and lengthy jazz-style improvisation sessions. Their US hit singles include "<a href="/wiki/Sunshine_of_Your_Love" title="Sunshine of Your Love">Sunshine of Your Love</a>" (No. 5, 1968), "<a href="/wiki/White_Room" title="White Room">White Room</a>" (No. 6, 1968) and "<a href="/wiki/Cross_Road_Blues" title="Cross Road Blues">Crossroads</a>" (No. 28, 1969) – a live version of <a href="/wiki/Robert_Johnson" title="Robert Johnson">Robert Johnson</a>'s "Cross Road Blues". Though Cream were hailed as one of the greatest groups of its day, and the adulation of Clapton as a guitar legend reached new heights, the <a href="/wiki/Supergroup_(music)" title="Supergroup (music)">supergroup</a> was short-lived. Drug and alcohol use escalated tension between the three members, and conflicts between Bruce and Baker eventually led to Cream's demise.

Heavily blues-influenced, the album features the twin lead guitars of Clapton and Duane Allman, with Allman's <a href="/wiki/Slide_guitar" title="Slide guitar">slide guitar</a> as a key ingredient of the sound.

A few days into the Layla sessions, Dowd – who was also producing the Allmans – invited Clapton to an Allman Brothers outdoor concert in Miami. The two guitarists met first on stage, then played all night in the studio, and became friends.

During the sessions, Clapton was devastated by news of the death of Jimi Hendrix; eight days previously the band had cut a cover of "Little Wing" as a tribute.

Adding to Clapton's woes, Layla received only lukewarm reviews upon release. The shaken group undertook a US tour without Allman, who had returned to the Allman Brothers Band. Despite Clapton's later admission that the tour took place amid a blizzard of drugs and alcohol, it resulted in the live double album <a href="/wiki/In_Concert_(Derek_and_the_Dominos_album)" title="In Concert (Derek and the Dominos album)">In Concert</a>.<a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a> Recording of a second Dominos studio album was underway when a clash of egos took place and Clapton walked out, thus disbanding the group. Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident on 29 October 1971. Clapton wrote later in his autobiography that he and Allman were inseparable during the Layla sessions in Florida; he talked about Allman as the "musical brother I'd never had but wished I did".<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a> Although Radle remained Clapton's bass player until the summer of 1979 (Radle died in May 1980 from the effects of alcohol and narcotics), it was not until 2003 that Clapton and Whitlock appeared together again; Clapton guested on Whitlock's appearance on the <a href="/wiki/Later_with_Jools_Holland" class="mw-redirect" title="Later with Jools Holland">Later with Jools Holland</a> show.

The 1975 album <a href="/wiki/There%27s_One_in_Every_Crowd" title="There's One in Every Crowd">There's One in Every Crowd</a> continued this trend. The album's original title, The World's Greatest Guitar Player (There's One in Every Crowd), was changed before pressing, as it was felt its ironic intention would be misunderstood.

The performances at London's <a href="/wiki/Drury_Lane_theatre" class="mw-redirect" title="Drury Lane theatre">Drury Lane theatre</a> heralded a return to form and prominence for Clapton in the new decade.

But it did happen. Clapton would go back to the Hazelden Treatment Center in November 1987. He has stayed sober ever since. A few months after his discharge from his first rehab, Clapton began working on his next album, against doctors' orders. Working with Tom Dowd, he produced what he thought as his "most forced" album to date, <a href="/wiki/Money_and_Cigarettes" title="Money and Cigarettes">Money and Cigarettes</a>.
