Lay Down Sally - Eric Clapton - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Eric Clapton veered away from his trademark blues for this lively, rootsy country-tinted dive inspired by the legendary Oklahoma musician J.J. Cale. "Lay Down Sally" finds Eric Clapton pleading with a girl to stay. "Lay down, Sally, and rest here in my arms / Don't you think you want someone to talk to?" he sings in the chorus. The sonic gamble certainly paid off—Eric Clapton bagged one of his most notable US hits. Released as the A-side to another Eric Clapton classic, his interpretation of J.J. Cale’s "Cocaine," guitarist George Terry is also credited as a songwriter on this invigorating 1977 track, which shot all the way to number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart as well as reaching number 39 on the UK singles chart and number three on the Canadian singles chart. Eric Clapton included "Lay Down Sally" on his landmark 1977 album Slowhand, which also spawned a signature hit in "Wonderful Tonight."
