Cream? I wonder where they got their name from ?

[@mikenastasi8927]

T, Cream bassist Jack Bruce was a big influence on Geddy Lee of RUSH.

[@John_Chu]

They were considered three of the best blues rock musicians in England at the time they formed the group. They were the "cream of the crop."

[@36karpatoruski]

@@mikenastasi8927 Lee is also a great bassist. Too bad Bruce couldn’t do anything to fix his voice though.

[@mikenastasi8927]

@@36karpatoruski Rush is my favorite band and Geddy is my favorite bassist. I like Jack Bruce as a singer.

[@williamtauriello1581]

‘The Cream of the Crop’ With Eric Clapton on guitar, Ginger Baker on drums, and Jack Bruce on bass. The song was by Robert Johnson back in the 30’s about him going to the crossroads to sell his soul. Robert Johnson is in the Blues Hall of Fame.

[@brenthenderson3983]

Cream was a Blues band.. As bassist and vocalist Jack Bruce said...'' We were a jazz band, just don't tell Eric.'' As Eric was a Blues guy, Bruce was jazz guy...

[@John_Chu]

The 84 bar solo by Eric Clapton here is considered one of the greatest electric guitar performances ever recorded ...and it's LIVE! Clapton's Mt. Everest of guitar pyrotechnics.

[@ParanormalStories]

This song is absoluty Eric Clapton most important, identifing, and show of his technique of his catalog. If this live version hadn't been released exaclty as is, I'd say his star power would reduced to half maybe? Would you agree or tend to disagree with this comment? I mean it is something to behold as possibly the single great statement a guitarist could make in any genre. I emphazise the word 'possibly' there, but one could say that.

[@John_Chu]

@@ParanormalStories I believe Eric has been one of the greatest electric guitarists of the past 60 years. However, I do agree with you that he NEVER attained the heights he reached with the 2nd solo again. Many great riffs, solos, and some surprisingly good vocals but, yes, this was the apex of his skill. How much of that was due to his drug abuse, who knows?

[@letsgomets002]

Agree...he's best after this he went to the thin sound Fender and wasn't ever heavy again sad

[@musik102]

But, interestingly, Eric, himself, wasn't impressed with his own solos on this recording.

[@daddyboy3546]

And Jack Bruce soloing right along with him!

[@Xcris_crosX]

I hope you've figured out by now 60s-70s Rockers loved the Blues and kept the music of legendary bluesmen alive. This song is rooted on Robert Johnson who according to legend went to the crossroads to make a deal with the devil and selling his soul in exchange for fame. Apparently it worked because we're still talking about him 90 years later. Check out his 1936 original recording. Also the 1986 movie, Crossroads, is loosely based on the storyline

[@exit3073]

The Allman Brothers are a perfect example of this, they were labeled "southern rock" but in reality they were 100% blues oriented. If you ever want to hear a great blues collaboration live, search "FURTHER ON UP THE ROAD- ERIC CLAPTON AND THE BAND just amazing.

[@johnwdaley4727]

Cream doesn't stop for red lights... blasting ahead, smashing the music, they have Robt. Johnson yelling "Uncle." Astounding musicians!

[@36karpatoruski]

Don’t overlook Ginger Baker’s incredible drumming!

[@robertdominguez4003]

Rocking a 5 piece.

[@jjm2308]

Jack Bruce is one of the best bass players ever Scotland's genius

[@conniekat3424]

With Eric Clapton as a band member the success is pretty much guaranteed!

[@jeffreyflint6286]

Another band I drove dad and mom nuts with when I was just kid growing up lol. I love it! 🤪🤪🤟🤟👍👍❤. Go crazy! Get down ya'll!

[@greenbeatsred]

This song by Cream is a cover of the Robert Johnson song "Cross Road Blues" written in 1937. Remember when you were talking about Black Sabbath mentioning Lucifer in a bluesy song? This is the origin of the Mississippi Delta blues tradition about the Crossroads. I didn't know Robert Johnson died the year after he wrote this song at the age of 27, making him maybe the earliest member of the 27 club.

[@douglasgreen437]

One of the early Rock songs...Taking blues & morphing it into Rock...

[@davidcarter4247]

Blues and country and western had merged in rock and roll long before this. What we are hearing here is young English people discovering blues, especially electric Chicago blues. Americans, black and white, had turned their backs on the blues for easy listening, notable for fabulous harmonies which Americans did better than anyone. So many black blues artists headed to the UK because that was where they were appreciated. Hendrix went to the UK to find the success he could not find at home. When bands such as Cream brought the blues back to the US I am sure most Americans thought it was British music they were playing. There were some American electric blues bands but the cream of 1960s/70s blues bands were in Britain. American blues bands, being largely white, tended to slide back to country rock or rock and roll. British bands kept moving forward into new areas, such as prog rock. Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull started as blues bands.

65 to 74. Everyone mixed Soul, Blues, Rock and Roll, Country music 🎶. Don't forget to Boogie children 🪴 Clapton 🌞

[@matthewmccarthy5465]

As others have posted, this is widely considered to be one of the greatest guitar solos ever recorded and it was live. This song is an Eric Clapton masterpiece.

[@bmw128racer]

One of the greatest guitar solos in music history.

Does my heart good to see y'all groovin' to this just like we were back in the day. Now you need to hear Clapton's later slowed down version! 💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙

Cream was my intro to the hard rock and metal world back in late 60’sand from there it’s history

[@megamaniac7402]

At hearing this for the first couple of times Claptons soloing stood out. Nowadays I tend to focus on Jack Bruce's thunderous and vital bass lines. And off cause Ginger Baker lays down a solid beat, as usual.

[@happilyeggs4627]

From the original 1936 recording by Robert Johnson. Cream switched this one up from the original Delta Blues. Clapton, the guitarist, absolutely loved Robert Johnson. Over the years he has covered many Robert Johnson songs. You should check out the originals. Johnson's voice will make the hair on the back of your neck stand out. The Robert Johnson legend, which this song makes reference to is: Johnson was not a very good singer/guitarist, until he received some advice. He was told to go down to a lonely crossroads, at midnight, and he would meet a dark and mysterious figure there. The mystery man would offer him a contract, he should sign, and afterwards he would receive skills he never had before. So Johnson went down to the crossroads in the pitch black of night. When he returned he could suddenly sing, like a nightingale, and play guitar like a maestro. He went on to record just 29 songs, and just as he was about to become very famous, a concert by him was being organised in a major NY venue, he was killed. It's said that Johnson was fooling around with a married woman and her husband either stabbed him, or poisoned him. There is some evidence to say he died from kidney or liver failure. But over the years the legend has grown. Most of us (lovers of the blues) would sooner believe the romance, and horror, of the selling of a soul at midnight at the lonely crossroads. Johnson added to the legend by recording Crossroads Blues and Hellhound On My Trail. Take the time to listen to the King of The Delta Blues, one of the early players and masters of his genre.

[@dawnmoore4329]

Hi guys! Since you are going down the road of the great late '60's - early 70's performers, how about taking a look at a performer who was one of the best guitarists ever, who beat Eric Clapton in 1971 as the Melody Maker's International Guitarist of the Year- the legendary Rory Gallagher? For an early take on the very young Rory (22 years old) who blew away many of the acts that weekend with his blistering guitar work, take a listen to "What's Going On?" from the 1970 Isle of Wight festival. Or a slightly more mature Rory on the Irish Tour '74 album with "Who's That Coming?" with its skilled slide guitar is a treat. And the context of that album is remarkable-performing in Northern Ireland during the height of the Troubles, with bombs going off all around Belfast. Clapton was a fan and credited Rory for getting him back into the blues. The Rolling Stones tried to recruit him as well, with Mick Jagger being a fan. Please take a listen and enjoy!

Written and originally performed by Robert Johnson. The legendary blues artist who supposedly sold his soul to play guitar. Johnson is widely credited as the real father of rock and roll.
