‘That’s What It Takes’ is the second song on George Harrison’s eleventh solo album Cloud Nine.

Written by George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, and Gary Wright, the song features two guitar solos – the first by Harrison on slide guitar, and the second by Eric Clapton.

Eric Clapton plays on four tracks; I’m sure you could hear him. Eric has the end solo on ‘That’s What It Takes’, he plays on ‘Devil’s Radio’, ‘Wreck Of The Hesperus’, and on the title track.
