Eric Clapton had actually written "My Father's Eyes" around 1992, which is when he began playing it in concert. It wasn't until six years later that it was released as a single, off the CD, "Pilgrim". "Eyes" peaked at #33 on the Hot 100, and #2 on the Hot Adult Contemporary chart.
Still gets healthy airplay today, just because it's Clapton at his introspective best, as the song is about the father he never met or knew.
