Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton - MP3 instrumental karaoke

A subtle, mellow ballad featuring one of the most iconic guitar hooks in soft rock history, "Wonderful Tonight" was released on Eric Clapton's 1977 album, Slowhand. Although only a minor hit in Clapton's native England, the song topped the charts in Japan and climbed to Number 16 in America, and has since become a staple of Clapton's catalog. Clapton wrote "Wonderful Tonight" in 1976, while waiting for his future wife, Pattie Boyd, to finish preparing to attend a party hosted by Paul and Linda McCartney. The first verse finds Clapton patiently waiting as his beloved searches for the right outfit, with the later verses detail the couple's attendance at the party and their eventual return home. Produced by Glyn Johns, "Wonderful Tonight" features Hammond organ, light drums, Clapton's trademark guitar playing, and gentle harmonies from Mercella Detroit and Broadway singer Yvonne Elliman.
