The British rock royalty Cream was formed in 1966, and consisted of bassist singer Jack Bruce, drummer Ginger Baker and guitarist singer Eric Clapton. Their sound was characterized by a hybrid of blues rock, hard rock and burgeoning psychedelic rock, combining imaginative lyrics often written by poet Pete Brown, Clapton s innovative blues guitar playing, Bruce s operatic voice and fluid bass playing, and Baker s jazz-influenced drumming.
Cream soon evolved further creating a trademark approach built around each musician s virtuoso playing and their live performances became renowned for lengthy improvisational pieces based on traditional blues structures such as Crossroads and Spoonful, modern blues such as Born Under A Bad Sign, and their own songs such as White Room and Baker s powerhouse showcase Toad.
Non-stop touring saw Cream break through in America where Wheels of Fire, released in August 1968, topped the US charts for a month and was the world s first platinum-selling double album. It comprised one album ‘in the studio – including the Bruce and Brown penned classics White Room and Politician – while the other LP was recorded live at the Fillmore West in San Francisco, highlighted by expansive readings of Crossroads and Spoonful.
