Jack Bruce was a great player and Cream was an ultimate supergroup, as they were all virtuosos. Cream was massively popular, selling 35 million records during their few years existence. Here's a real good video of JB: the 1st musical performance sequence on this video is a smokin' rendition of NSU. (I always thought the title referred to a local university where he'd recently had some fun, but NSU stands for 'non-specific urethritis'.)

This is all the attention Jack gets? WTF?
I know Clapton is "God" but,
Jack did the bulk of the writing, bulk of the singing, etc. etc..
When Eric goes, the thread will go on ad nauseam.
Hell "Beware of Mr Baker" has twice as many replies.
Shame on all of us!
RIP in Jack, I will always be a fan.

Sans that Eric stole Geroge's wife he seems to be the calm one of that group of misfits that somehow worked.
 
I do attribute it all to Jack. He will be missed. At least by me.
 
I saw him with West, Bruce and Lang. And with Ringo's All Star Band.
 
A true powerhouse of originality, IMO.

WAIT A MINUTE!
Eric traded "Lucy" (the Red Les Paul) for Patti.
George still had "Lucy" when he passed.
Pretty sure he got the best end of that deal!
And as to the "sans", re-read Eric's auto biography; he has left a legacy of destruction in his path!
Just sayin'...
"I do attribute it all to Jack" 
I think they all brought something to Cream in equal measure.
The JHE without Noel; who cares!
Cream without just one; Jack, Eric or Ginger, not the same band; IMHO.

I read it. He's a baystid for sure.
 
I was just trying to put Jack on a momentary pedestal.

Exactly, its Jack's thread. ;-)
Even if no one else cares. :-(
