“Sunshine Of Your Love” #36 3/2/1968

Cream’s first Top 40 US single. Hard to believe a group that only put out six singles and three albums in America (plus a farewell LP) during their working years would be universally recognized as a major influence in rock music. Yet Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker are regarded as just that. Bruce came up with the opening riff after seeing Jimi Hendrix in concert. This would do much better in about six months during its second chart go-round, reaching the Top 5.
