Jack is my fucking idol... I fucking love him, he's THE artist.
Salutes from Argentina, long live JACK BRUCE!

Not only was he one of the finest bass players, but he had a damned great voice. You listen to the intricate bass lines he plays WHILE SINGING! Very few people could do that. Thanks for posting this! Always fills me with reverie, this one.

Years back I heard Jack and Leslie West perform this song . The setting was the Howard Stern morning show and I think Jack was live on air and Leslie was on the telephone with Howard. These two came together like no others. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for the memory!

wow what you said!!!!!1 Jack was the genius behind cream and he gave Clapton his best moments
jack should be much more famous than he is......

Jack is the one and only my biggest musical hero . there is no one like him and no ne whose music has made more of a difference in my life

A great Scotsman!

Clapton 'didnt like it' (!) His loss. Leslie owns it and monsters it. Great great tune.

This is just Jack Bruce & friends.
It's true that some of these songs were rejected by Eric & Ginger but that's their loss.
Jack has ALLWAYS provided far better stuff post Cream than the others.
It's a shame Eric is so highly regarded now as opposed to Jack.
Jack has never stood still,allways pushed boundaries.
Have a look at Jack with Joe Bonamassa for old sckool stuff.
Awesome!!
Where's Eric?!!!

As I understand it, Bruce wrote this song for, and about, Cream, but Clapton for some reason didn't want to play it. I don't know why, it's one of Bruce's best songs imho (maybe his best). Maybe it's just as well, though, since it became one of Mountain's better known songs and Leslie West pretty much owns it now. Still, it would have been nice to see how Clapton would have handled it.

No. This was from Jack Bruce's solo album "Songs for a Tailor" which came out in 1969. Highly recommended!



Cream had to include all 3 guys. All 3 knew they were the best, thats why they called themselves Cream, because they were the cream of the crop. They would "compete" with eachother to see who the best musician was, and this brought out the great sound that Cream is famous for

i forgot all about this beautiful piece. i was lucky enough to meet jack in albuquerque in 1968 when cream played the pit. what a gentleman. got ginger's autograph, clapton didn't show up at the party after the gig, but i remember he played a les paul. a crazy old friend of ours actually put a great big open-reel wollensak up on the stage and RECORDED the concert! nobody said a thing! i have a copy of their alb concert around here somewhere. those were the days, yes they were...
