R.I.P Jack Bruce

Here is the sad news report...

I became a fan of Jack Bruce by being a fan of Eric Clapton. Of course I am talking about the music of Cream. Here Jack Bruce and Cream perform "Sunshine of Your Love"

I didn't get the chance to see Jack Bruce with Cream but I did get to see him perform with Ringo Starr..Here they perform "White Room" with Peter Frampton...

Here Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker and Gary Moore perform "Spoonful" as part of BMM,,,

Here is a solo song of his "Only Playing Games"

I was blown away by Jack Bruce when I saw him live, He was obviously a great bass player. He will be missed by his fans like me for his music. His family will miss him for the parts most fans didn't see. May he rest in peacer

Happy Birthday Jack Bruce!

Jack Bruce the legendary bass player for Cream turns 70 today. Along the way he had a successful solo career and worked on a few other projects. I was fortunate to see him with Ringo Starr.
