"I Ain't Gonna Stand For It" by Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton is one of the greatest musicians of our age and has dominated the music scene since his first hit, "After Midnight", reached #18 in 1970. Most of his biggest hits came from that decade, but he still had a productive career adapting his rhythm and blues rock to the 80's sounds. In the 90s he came back in a big way with the heartbreaking hit "Tears In Heaven", which went to #2 in 1992. Clapton went on to have one of the most successful "unplugged" albums ever, hitting #1 for 3 weeks and selling over 10 million copies.

2001's "Reptile" didn't spawn any charting singles (Clapton's last top 100 hit was "My Father's Eyes", which hit #16 in 1998), but the album did very well, clawing its way to #5. I think it is one of his best records from that decade - it shifts between musical styles effortlessly yet still sounds like a cohesive collection. "I Ain't Gonna Stand For It" is among the rocking tracks on this record, initially a #11 hit for Stevie Wonder in 1980, who sounded as if he were mocking a country singer.
