No mention of his short stint with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton before leaving to join Manfred Mann. Also, 'Sunshine of your Love' was co - written by Jack Bruce, Pete Brown and Eric Clapton. Also no mention of his collaboration with power - rock trio's West, Bruce & Laing(Leslie West & Corky Laing)and Bruce, Baker & Moore(Gary Moore) Bruce, Trower, Landon(Robin Trower & Bill Landon)Rocket 88 with Ian Stewart, Charlie Watts, Alexis Korner & Dick Morrissey. Power House with Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, Paul Jones and Pete York. DO - YOUR - HOMEWORK....🎸
When someone says “he was the best” it is always arguable. Personally I believe when you listen closely to Jack’s licks on the Bass, you really hear things very few can reproduce his fluidity and passion. He was an amazing man who rocked and lived hard.
Yes..Not a very good analogy of Bruce.....West< Bruce and Laing made a very good album..as well as playing with the great Gary Moore..Bruce was a awesome bass player..He drove Clapton to be a better guitarist..
Ah Jack ,what a great ,musician /singer /song producer , but , like all great creative artists , they are their own men ! Thats why truly gifted , bands dont last long ! as they want to push their boundaries , its a weight on their shoulder ! all their lifes ! just enjoy the moments they share with use ! and what they gave ! cheers ritchie .
Beg to differ, the Beatles lasted 12 years, Yes lasted, Rush lasted, Zeppelin, The Who…. Clapton turned into a speed freak and then an alcoholic. It was well known.

Good history lesson, “Cream’s” reunion was missing, however. They sold out The Albert Hall for four separate concerts. The DVD of the best of those concerts is outstanding.
that was a dodgy header wasn't it? not a word on the topic Great musician and, going by the clips we get to see, in other vids, the Cream reunions were always fun and they appeared to enjoy playing together Commentators should probably do better research and not make up bs for clicks and likes
Jack was a brilliant musician. Cello, bass, guitar, piano and singing all at the highest level. His compositions were legendary. But he was a peppery wee bugger too.
great clip, i know many styles of music but never knew jack played with macclauglin, and billy cobham.which i saw in princeton NJ back in 1971, as the mahavishnu orquestra, blew me away, i was 17 years young. led me to listen to all types of music...
I saw Cream in the late 60s and by far it was Jack Bruce who was for me the star. Clapton's Sunshine of your love for my group was on par to the "Monkees". But, Jack's voice and bass playing was so outstanding. Yeh.... don't ask me about Ginger.
Also, highly recommended is Jack's album A Question of Time (1989). Excellent songs and playing from it's hot starting track to the album's finish. Ginger plays drums on two or three of the tracks as well.
From what I've read, that may have been a factor, but another, and probably more important, was that Stigwood kept them on the road. If they'd taken a few months off each year to recharge, they might have lasted longer. And the Rolling Stone article by Jon Landau didn't help either.
He didn't have a falling out with Clapton but with Ginger Baker!
Correct.
Jack Bruce was the voice of cream! That man rocked!

You mssed West Bruce and Laing...big. Miss
Also not to mention the time with Gary Moore!🙄
WB&L was a big deal when it was released, l liked it (l was 14). No mention of the click bait title here

Not to mention the creative differences. Roger Waters is another example

Dodgy because it's bullshit.

Find an album called 'Things We Like'. It's on here. You'll be surprised.
No mention of West, Bruce & Laing. .................lame!

Never better than Cream
Deserted Cities of the Heart
His falling out was with ginger baker. They fought constantly and that was why Cream broke up

@@Riddim4 back in those days nobody took off ! They toured constantly
@@lespaul1755: and the bands broke up.
He was good musician, but a spiteful, bitter human being. He couldn't get along with anybody.
West Bruce and Laing, and Cream revival? 🤔
didnt even mention "west,bruce and laing"?????
@@kentbarker4748 A.I. 🙄😂
Didn't mention B B M either.
Bruce was more skilled on a few Cream albums - especially the live ones
I think he never received near the kudos that he deserved
I guess the pic at 0:23 is from his 3-string Bass Period?
Rip off! Nothing in this video about his falling out with Clapton! Boo!
A.I. voice lol
Click bait title
I’m taking credit for all these muddy waters songs , no I’m taking credit for all these muddy waters songs. I can’t work with you
No mention of West, Bruce and Laing?
And what about the beef?
BBM?!
One of my all-time music icons for his singing, songwriting and playing.
Sorry I didn't make it to the Jeff Healey memorial in Toronto.
💔🙏🏽🌈🌉❤️✨️🕊
Cream war einmalig .
Jack played too loud - that annoyed Ginger!
Mick Taylor on guitar.
