Cream

His work in Cream helped steer the future of heavy, blues-influenced rock 'n' roll for years to come.

Before touring became big business for promoters who elevated rock shows to an art, even name-brand bands played pretty much anywhere.

Tension subtly fueled the band's four albums, starting with this one.

Cream's 1966 debut album will celebrate its 50th anniversary a month late with a four-disc deluxe edition set for release in 2017.

Despite a hyperbolic advance news release, their debut performance was decidedly low key.

Back in the early days of rock 'n' roll, the concept of "rock journalism" basically meant asking groups what kind of food or girls they liked.

This album closed the book on the brief but consistently headline-hogging career of rock's first supergroup.

Robert Stigwood also briefly lured the Who away from Brunswick Records long enough to record the hit "Substitute."

Eric Clapton led a musical tribute to Jack Bruce at his former Cream bandmate's funeral in North London earlier today, singing the Beatles' 'Strawberry Fields Forever' with help from friends and family.

Jack Bruce, bassist and singer of Cream, has died at the age of 71.
