CREAM were a British rock band formed in London in 1966. The group consisted of bassist Jack Bruce, guitarist Eric Clapton, and drummer Ginger Baker. Bruce was the primary songwriter and vocalist, although Clapton and Baker also sang and contributed songs. Formed from members of previously successful bands, they are widely regarded as the world's first supergroup. CREAM were highly regarded for the instrumental proficiency of each of their members. British rock trio that was the first “supergroup” (made up of musicians who had achieved fame independently before coming together as a band). CREAM blended rock, blues, psychedelic rock, and a hint of jazz to create a unique sound. It was known for dexterous live improvisations that often turned into extended jam sessions.
PERSONNEL: Eric Clapton (b. March 30, 1945, Ripley, Surrey, England); Jack Bruce (b. May 14, 1943, Lanarkshire, Scotland—d. October 25, 2014, Suffolk, England); and Ginger Baker (b. August 19, 1939, London, England—d. October 6, 2019).
Many of the tracks on the band’s first album, Fresh Cream (1966), still retained the bluesy sound that its members were accustomed to producing. Although widely considered mediocre by rock critics, it appeared on the top 100 album charts in both the United Kingdom and the United States. CREAM’s second album, Disraeli Gears (1967), veered farther away from the band’s blues comfort zone by incorporating Brown’s and Bruce’s mystical lyrics and guitar techniques that alternated between droning distortion and wailing effects-pedal-assisted riffs. Bruce sometimes played his bass as something of a lead instrument, and Baker’s drumming incorporated jazz tempos—approaches that had not been heard much in rock music at the time. The album broke into the top 10 on both sides of the Atlantic. Its second track, “Sunshine of Your Love,” highlighted the smooth transition from blues to a more psychedelic sound and was touted by critics as the perfect hybrid of hard rock, blues, and psychedelia. It was by far the most popular single from Disraeli Gears and the only Cream single to reach gold status (over 500,000 units sold) in the United States. CREAM followed Disraeli Gears with its third and best-selling album, Wheels of Fire (1968), a mixture of studio and live recordings densely packed into two records that became the first platinum-selling (over 1,000,000 units sold) double album. It showcased “White Room,” arguably the group’s most popular song, which layered haunting vocals on top of shimmering guitars. The album also included a live rendition of Robert Johnson’s “Crossroads” that featured an oft-imitated solo by Clapton that is considered by many to be one of the greatest guitar solos ever. In late 1968 CREAM decided to disband—a decision that was largely a consequence of the animosity between Bruce and Baker. The band’s six-track farewell album, Goodbye (1969), featured “Badge,” which Clapton cowrote with George Harrison of the Beatles. The group’s lifespan was just under three years. At the tail end of the 1960s into the ’70s, the former members of CREAM went on to establish other supergroups such as Blind Faith and Derek And The Dominos, and CREAM’s style greatly influenced progressive rock acts such as Rush and the live “jam band” performances of groups such as the Allman Brothers Band. CREAM was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, and the group performed for the first time in 25 years at the induction ceremony. In 2006 the band received a Grammy Award for lifetime achievement.
