Song of the day for October 6, 2024
White Room (Live at the Royal Albert Hall 2005) by Cream is today’s featured song.
In 2019, legendary drummer, songwriter, and Cream co-founder, Ginger Baker, died at age 80. Known as “Rock’s First Superstar Drummer,” the highly influential artist also formed the short-lived band Blind Faith, alongside Eric Clapton, Ric Grech, and Steve Winwood, and formed his own supergroup, Ginger Baker’s Air Force, in 1969. Baker’s genre-bending styles and over-the-top showmanship made him a coveted collaborator. During his lengthy career, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer worked with the likes of Fela Kuti, Charlie Haden, and Public Image Ltd., among many others.
