Clapton released his debut solo album in 1970 Eric Clapton, which charted at number 17 in the US charts and at number 14 in the British charts. Four years later he released his second album 461 Ocean Boulevard, which received two gold certifications in the US and UK and peaked at number 1 in the US charts. His 1977 album, Slowhand, named after his nickname given by Giorgio Gomelsky,[2] received three times Platinum in the United States.
