Cream was a seminal 1960s rock band which featured the guitarist Eric Clapton, the bassist Jack Bruce, and the drummer Ginger Baker. History Celebrated as the first of the great power trios of rock, their sound was characterised by a melange of blues and psychedelia, combining Clapton"s mastery of the genre with the airy voice of Jack Bruce and, at times, manic rhythms of Ginger Baker.

British poet Pete Brown wrote the lyrics to many of the band"s songs and was another important contributor. Cream broke up in November 1968 due to clashing egos and musical visions—Clapton famously related how he once suddenly stopped playing in concert without Bruce or Baker noticing. Inspired by more song-based acts like The Band, he went on to perform much different, less improvisational material with Delaney and Bonnie, Blind Faith, his own Derek and the Dominos, and in a long and varied solo career.
