Comedian Morecambe or musician Clapton? (4)

I believe the answer is:

eric

(Other definitions for eric that I've seen before include "One of pair once popular" , "--, or Little by Little (Dean Farrar)" , "Ernie's comic partner" , "Boy's name" , "Great Norwegian explorer .... the Red" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
