Subject: Ginger Baker: Legendary Cream drummer dies aged 80
Written By: Philip Eno on 10/06/19 at 5:56 am
Ginger Baker, one of the most innovative and influential drummers in rock music, has died at the age of 80. A co-founder of Cream, he also played with Blind Faith, Hawkwind and Fela Kuti in a long and varied career. His style combined the lyricism of jazz with the crude power of rock. One critic said watching him was like witnessing "a human combine harvester". But he was also a temperamental and argumentative figure, whose behaviour frequently led to on-stage punch-ups.

I liked when an MC would introduce his group as “The Cream”.
Meaning these guys were not only in a band named Cream, but that indeed they were the cream of the crop, rising to the top. 8)

It has to be "Cream" and not The Cream, for if the MC announces "and here is is The Queen" (if it was Queen playing), it would announcing Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has arrived on stage. It is the same with Sting's group Police.

Cream fans, if you haven't seen this reunion concert I highly recommend it! I found a really cool interview of the three Cream members regarding that concert:
