Golden RIng is an old song by Eric, written in 1978 sessions for his Backless album released same year. It's one of Eric's favourite songs, dedicated to the Rob Reiner film, The Story Of Us, for which Eric composed the soundtrack. Eric sais about the song: "The best thing that happened on Backless were the things that happened at the time. I got away with one song on there, 'Golden Ring,' which I think is the strongest song on the album, because I wrote it because I was fed up with the general sort of apathy of everyone involved, and I just thought, 'Well, I'll take a song in there and whether they like it or not, we'll do it, they'll learn it and record it, and we'll put it on the record and that's that!"
In February 2021 Clapton is back with "Golden Ring" song during Lockdown Session that he recorded with his band at Cowdray House, West Sussex, England.
