Eric Clapton recorded the guitar solo for the Beatles’ "While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, 
becoming the first non-Beatle to appear on one of their recordings. George Harrison 
later said that Clapton’s presence had another effect on the band: "It made them all
try a bit harder; they were all on their best behavior."

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was ranked no. 136 on Rolling Stone‘s list of "The
500 Greatest Songs of All Time", no. 7 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Songs
of All Time, and no. 10 on their list of The Beatles 100 Greatest Songs.
