Remember when Clapton stole Bob Marley’s,I shot the sheriff, song?

Clapton covered it, and that’s not the same as “stealing” it. A lot of the songs on early Beatles and Stones albums were covers of American R&B, Soul, and Blues performers. Rather than ripping them off, in some cases - particularly with regard to Blues performers - it enhanced their careers by exposing them to a wider audience.

Turning Bob Marley into an international star.

FWIW, this was Clapton's only #1 hit.
