Jack Bruce was a phenomenally talented musician. He could write, play charts on sight and sing like nobody else.

[@hiawatha.g]

No group ever produced more greatness per year of existence. They lasted less than three years but there are probably only a half-dozen other rock acts that were as important.

Rock wasn't "getting harder" at this time my friend. IT WAS BEING INVENTED! 18 months before this, the genre didn't exist. It was created by bands like Zep, Sabbath, Deep Purple and Cream. They created the sound and the blueprints for ALL that would come after them.

[@patrickholt2270]

Rock was invented by Chuck Berry. This is the invention of Hard Rock. When it comes to Rock you'd also have to reference The Who and The Kinks.

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

Actually you are more than right. If you literally notate what was going on as far as scales, harmony and rhythm etc.the only difference since then is these bands did what they did intuitively. We can now break it down into what time signature, scale or mode etc. The trouble is even the best craftsman which there are many are seldomly good architects. We know have music brilliantly constructed but unfortunately craft is not art so we do not get get better music.

[@Quinctili]

@@patrickholt2270 an interesting thought though, was Rumble, by Link Wray and released about the same time, the first attempt at heavy music? It wasn't rock, it didn't fit any other description.

The most polished performances from Cream are in the Farewell Concert video from the Albert Hall in 1968. Top track is the legendary Crossroads.

[@robertsullivan6246]

The late Jack Bruce: "I thought of Cream as sort of a jazz band, only we never told Eric he was really Ornette Coleman. Kept quiet about that..."

[@Charlie-qe6lv]

You realize just how tight this trio is. I like the rawness of this, actually.

[@dennismason3740]

I saw Cream in 67 in Santa Monica, 68 in Inglewood. The following year somebody loaned me an acoustic guitar and I began to learn blues and Cream and Hendrix and Doors and Buffalo Springfield and Neil Young...Cream recorded three excellent studio albums (forget "Goodbye") and they are transcendent.

[@bobschenkel7921]

The late 60's was a time where many musicians were trying to play with folks from other bands, there was a lot of moving around and interplay. Good for the listeners, not always good for a band's stability. But, hey, that's the 60's. Cream was one of the first bands to be called a "Supergroup", there were a lot later, but they were among the first. Only about three years and then they all moved on. But it was great while it lasted. The album "Desraeli Gears" is probably their peak work, but as they say "It's ALL good." Enjoy your exploration.

[@tonyhofer6748]

[@cygnusx-1318]

Yes. I've read that Bruce got the song writing credits (future income), but Baker thought the song would not have been a hit without his unique drumming. And I agree. It's unusual and distinctive and in a sense makes the song.

[@stephenignatz8364]

Try ELP as well. People forget they were 3 piece. Keith Emerson (keys) Greg Lake (bass, Vocal) and Carl Palmer (drums) Keith was called the Jimi Hendrix of the keys and Carl Palmer was the Drummer who was credited for creating the drum solo in Rock.

[@thancrow]

[@davidporter499]

This was back when pedals and effects were rare, plus amps were not vey reliable. They were immense.

[@larrybrachle3460]

Interesting to note that both Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker were accomplished Jazz musicians that brought that element to the rhythm section of Cream.

A lot of these early English rockers were jazz cats.. like Bruce, Baker and Charlie Watts

[@wilfbentley6738]

I don't think this is the best Cream recording of "Sunshine. . . . ". Cream also has "White Room" and the cover "Spoonful", both of which I consider astronomically great. Ginger Baker was so skilled that he could reputedly keep 4 different beats: different ones with each hand and two other different ones with each foot. . . .Totally Legendary. Beware of Mr.Baker!

I was 13/14 when this was released in 1967, by a pal one year older than me who had older sisters who probably introduced him to certain forms of music, and their Disraeli Gears album, this was taken from, just lit up my tiny mind. My interest in music really blossomed as a result of listening to this and the follow up album Wheels of Fire, especially the live L.P. of the double album.

[@TombstoneHeart]

I once read of where that album title, "Disraeli Gears" came from. Apparently, the band and some of their road crew were in a limo, going thru London and were stopped at some traffic lights. Stopped next to the limo was a bloke on a racing bicycle with multiple gears, something that most of them had never seen. While they were wondering what all of that stuff was, one of the roadies, a Cockney from the East end of London, told them, with great confidence, "Them's what you call your disraeli gears." What he really meant was "derailleur gears"! 🤣 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derailleur

Cream: 2 jazz musicians telling a blues guitarist he was playing blues, when all along the were playing jazz. This was the big joke. Baker (drums) and Bruce (bass) were super jazz musicians, they were starting a jazz band and needed a guitarist, they convinced Clapton that he would be joining a blues band. Mwaaahahahahahahaha. That's the story as told by Bruce and Baker. Clapton, to this day, still thinks he joined a blues band. Check out some of their live albums, with their extended improvisations, and you'll see what I mean. (Wheels OF Fire, Live Cream). Check the beautiful and sad, "We're Going Wrong". You'll hear Jack's vocal at it's superb best. Bruce with his writing partner Pete Brown (of Piblokto fame) penned most of Cream's catalogue: including much covered songs such as "Sunshine of Your Love", !I Feel Free", and the epic "Theme For An Imaginary Western" (most famously covered by Leslie West of Mountain fame).

Jazz obviously had a bunch of sounds but still only 2 percent of the country listened and still don't listen, though, of course, i could be wrong.

You probably only heard the studio recording… this was WAY before all the effects pedals and the beginnings of stacking amps… remember, this band broke up by 1968. Zeppilin came out a year later… Rush had the advantage of all the advances in technology by the time they hit big.

[@yvoheaton6402]

Growing up in London as a teenager in the 60's was something very special. These three came together from different musical backgrounds and really turned everything upside down. Incredibly talented musicians who had served their apprenticeships during the British Blues explosion playing with the likes of Alexis Korner and John Mayall, the Yardbirds, etc. Cream were shortlived but what they did in terms of output has stood the test of time. When they came together a few years ago for three nights at The Albert Hall they buried their differences and went on to re-create something truly amazing. Baker one of the very finest drummers. Bruce outstanding as a writer and player. Clapton......wonderful. Everyone should have some Cream in their life!

3 piece on the American side of the pond. Buddy holly in late 50’s early 60’s and zz top middle 60’s early to mid 70’s billy gibbons on guitar ginger baker was an awsome drummer. There was also Creedence clearwater revival (ccr) and a band i think got overshadowed a little was “the guess who” both are american bands from the time.

In 1966 Cream was the first "Power Trio" to arrive. Three months later the "Jimi Hendrix Experience" took shape. These groups had an enormous impact on rock music from that point on. If you really want to get into the bedrock of where it started check out "The Yardbirds". This was a early 60's group that at one time had Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton or Jeff Beck as their guitarist. (Side note: The Yardbirds, with Jeff Beck as guitarist, were the first group to have a hit with fuzz tone distortion on the guitar - the song was "Over Under Sideways Down".) I'm old as dirt and I was a musician back in the day so I heard this stuff unfold during the 60's & early 70's. It was an amazing time.

Have to say I prefer the studio version of this song. It is more uptempo and obviously the sound is better and also, it truly shows Jack Bruce as a singer. Cream was a forerunner in turning blues based music to early form of heavy rock. It is interesting that many drummers who were in the early heavy bands had jazz in their backround. Ginger Baker of Cream was a modern jazz drummer, Mitch Mitchell of Jimi Hendrix Experience was heavily influenced by jazz drummers. Even Bill Ward of Black Sabbath had one foot in jazz and that band is considered to be one of the fathers of heavy rock or metal.
