In the 1960s, Cream took the rock world by storm. With it’s driving blend of rock, blues, jazz, and psychedelics, Cream burst onto the scene with classic hits such as “Crossroads,” “Spoonful,” and “Sunshine of Your Love.” Featuring the blistering guitar work of Eric Clapton, Cream sold over 15 million albums world wide.
During the following clip filmed in 1968, a young Clapton displays his signature vibrato, his acclaimed “woman tone,” his use of the wah-wah pedal, and a handful of the screaming blues runs that won him international fame during his time with Cream.
As one young fan infamously wrote, “Clapton is God.” Well, click on the video below and judge for yourself.
