Not too long ago Jack Bruce died of liver cancer. He’s probably best known for his part in Cream. Cream was a rock trio consisting of world famous Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Bruce. The group was formed when Clapton accepted an invitation to partner with Baker as long as he also invited Bruce. Baker and Bruce fought often though. Bruce wrote many of Cream’s most popular songs, including the bass part for Sunshine of Your Love. He primarily played the base and sang. Cream transformed the face of rock completely. It was one of the first bands to dabble in blues rock. They paved the way for some of the greatest bands in history like Led Zeppelin.

His contribution to the music world is endless. The riff in Sunshine of Your Love alone is recognizable to almost all people, even if just vaguely. He continued playing post-Cream, working in genres such as folk, blues, and jazz.

Jack Bruce was an amazing musician and a true artist, He will be missed.
