JACK BRUCE, 71 Died October 25, 2014.
Scottish bass player and vocalist who played in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and Manfred Mann (played on "Pretty Flamingo" (#29, 1966). He was invited to join Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton in Cream and wrote many of their songs.
That's him you hear sinking "Sunshine of Your Love" (#5, 1968) and "White Room" (6, 1968).
The group broke up after three years and he started the West, Bruce and Laing Band with Leslie West and Corky Laing. Later he toured with Ringo Starr's All-Star Band.
I was a huge Cream fan and bought everyone of their albums as they were released. My cousin Joe in North Carolina was the first person to let me know about them.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
