Wonderful Tonight


"Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton is composed and performed by the English rock musician himself. The song was released in 1977 and is written in the key of G major. It was featured on Clapton's album, "Slowhand." Interestingly, this romantic ballad was inspired by Pattie Boyd, Clapton's then-wife, who took a long time to get ready for a night out, leaving Clapton in awe of her beauty. The song gained immense popularity over the years and remains one of Clapton's signature tunes. The melody of "Wonderful Tonight" is filled with gentle, soothing guitar strumming and Clapton's soulful vocals, perfectly capturing the tender emotions of love and admiration.
