Underrated singer, obviously superb bass player. Sad to read he's curdled. nt, posted on October 25, 2014 at 09:52:55

Just home from work and learned of this via an email from a friend.Had the pleasure of seeing Jack Bruce once at the Psychedelic Supermarket , Kenmore Square , Boston in early September 1967. Of course this was actually Cream.

For anyone my age interested in Rock, he was one of the greats.

Check out Jack's remakes of Cream on his solo outings, posted on October 26, 2014 at 07:27:06

We're Going Wrong, White Room, Sunshine of Your Love, I Feel Fine, Politician, etc. Really new perspectives and well done. Check them out.

His vocals were very much appreciated among the blues greats.I first saw Cream at the Electric Factory in Philly. Jack played an awesome harp to Rollin' and Tumblin'. Clapton was god that night too his body not moving an inch.
