RE: A filthy racist, and unrepentant. Ironically, he made his bones

'white musicians were ripping off Robert Johnson'

Clapton didn't, but there were some shameless ones that claimed his work and that of other black artists as their own by putting their names on it as composers when simply adding or changing only a word or two, adding a verse or refrain, transposing it into another key etc.

Jimmy Page being one of the more blatant & successful examples

though using 'prior art' as a departure point is in part how art evolves
