Yet another great rock star has died with Jack Bruce of The Cream, the first super group, aged just 71


He played, and wrote songs, with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker. He will be missed

Getting very worried now with all these names from my past disappearing when I am only a few years behind them!!

Don't worry, Lizzie. You'll live forever.

Anyone on here who does not know about Cream due to being too young.................... .......here is a great example of their work, a song composed by Jack Bruce:

Then Jack Bruce's finest work in my opinion:

Presumably you didn't spend the sixties, seventies and eighties consuming nothing but cocaine, heroin and bourbon in which case you should see retirement

R.I.P. Jack. Probably the best Bass guitarist of our time. Wife has just gone to dig out the Disraeli Gears album.  Don't think Jack played on that, did he Lizzie??

Yes he did indeed. Sunshine of Your Love was a major track on this album at the time. That was Cream's first album in 1967 and us in school just raved about it.


Correction, I had forgotten for a minute: Fresh Cream was their first album, Disraeli Gears being their second!!  It was a case at the time though that the latter was really to the fore of pop music in 1967, and the earlier one of 1966 had, at that time. failed to catch my imagination!

Each to their own opinion I suppose . .  but doubt he would make the top 50

Might just have a "google" to check  . . . but  I for one would be shocked if he was there

 
EDIT:  my sincere opologies to Mr. Bruce & his followers   . .  he is on one list at No.22

There you go Big Al

He had to be good to play alongside Eric Clapton THE best blues guitarist of our generation.

Damn right Lizzie  , but I don't dwell on it

I was at Cream final concert Albert Hall. Oh dear now I REALLY am showing my age 

One great thing about the Albert Hall gig was, I discovered Rory Gallagher. His band Taste were support act

I'm envious Rog as I missed all the live shows!

And about Rory Gallagher; what do we say about little acorns.  How that one grew!!
