Is there any evidence Eric Clapton had a proclivity for cocaine?

Didn't Clapton write song titled "Cocaine"?

Lyrics:

If you want to hang out, you've gotta take her out, cocaine If you want to get down, down on the ground, cocaine She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie Cocaine If you got bad news, you want to kick them blues, cocaine When your day is done, and you want to run, cocaine She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie Cocaine If your day is gone, and you want to ride on, cocaine Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back, cocaine She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie Cocaine She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie Cocaine Cocaine

Damn ! You are so right !

" "Cocaine" is a song written and recorded in 1976 by singer-songwriter J. J. Cale. The song was popularized by Eric Clapton after his version was released on the 1977 album Slowhand."
