On this day, November 24, 1986, Eric Clapton released his tenth studio album, August. The album marked a shift toward a more polished, pop-oriented sound, produced by Phil Collins, Tom Dowd, and Greg Phillinganes.

August peaked at #37 on the Billboard charts in the United States and reached an impressive #3 in the UK. It featured standout tracks like “It’s in the Way That You Use It,” which was included in the film The Color of Money, as well as “Run” and “Miss You.” The album highlighted Clapton’s adaptability and ability to embrace contemporary sounds while staying true to his blues roots.
