The bass player for Cream passed today in England at 71. Cream was Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Bruce and the band received the first ever platinum record.

 

As one-third of one of rock's greatest trios, along with guitarist Eric Clapton and drummer Ginger Baker, Bruce was the voice and songwriter behind classic tracks like "White Room," "SWLABR," and "Sunshine of Your Love," which Bruce co-wrote with Clapton. Considered to be the first rock "supergroup," Cream pumped out four studio albums in three years – three of which landed on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time – before going their separate ways.

 

 

One of the greatest bass players ever.

i've been a bass player since '87 (tho somewhat retired the past 10 years) and a jack bruce fan probably just as long. the guy could lay down a very nice groove and i loved what he did with cream as a player and vocalist. i can't imagine that band without him or clapton or baker for that matter. those three and the music they made together helped to not just make the music world richer, but broaden my horizons as a bass player.

 

he had some of the best grooves of all time.
