Clapton's Commercial Hit

Ironic that the biggest hit Eric Clapton has had in recent years has come from a cell phone commercial. And what's really strange is that the song, "I've Got A Rock 'n' Roll Heart" comes from one of his best 80's albums that wasn't a big seller, 1983's Money and Cigarettes. The song itself peaked at #18 that year, and then was quickly forgotten by all but Clapton fans. It didn't show up on a Clapton compilation until 2007.

Don't we all have a song by our favorite artist that was a mild hit, forgotten, but fondly remembered? The song hovered below Itunes Top 100 singles chart, so somebody is being influenced by the commercial. Maybe they'll seek out the album, too.

P.S. Don't get me started about the whole "sellout" aspect of all this.
