My Father's Eyes (song)

"My Father's Eyes" is a song written and performed by British musician Eric Clapton, and produced by Clapton and Simon Climie. It was released as a single in March 1998 and was included on Clapton's 13th solo studio album, Pilgrim (1998). The song entered the top 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart, peaking at number 16, and spent seven weeks at number one on the Billboard Triple-A chart. It became a top-five hit in Canada, where it peaked at number two, and reached the top 20 in Austria, Iceland, and Norway. In 1999, it won a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

Clapton performed this track for the first time in 1992 and again in 1996, in both electric and unplugged versions. These versions of the song were completely different from the official single release in 1998. He would later retire the song in 2004, along with "Tears in Heaven", until the 50 Years Further On Up the Road world tour in 2013.
