The Life & Death of Cream's JACK BRUCE

I was 15 when I bought and played many many times Songs for a Tailor, what an amazing musician!

I was a massive cream fan, I got on a train at liverpool street in the early 70's and I saw him walk by. Once the train was on the move I went to the Buffett car, and he was sat there We chatted for a while, until he got off at Colchester, he was happy to chat, the time flew by.

Thanks for tis great offering of Jack's life story. What a fabulous bassist and musician he was and what great sounds he made for the bands he was part of. RIP Jack.

Jack's bass playing, especially his monster performances on live recordings with Cream, hugely influenced my own ambitions as a bass player.

Simply put, Jack was one of the greatest all around musician/composers of our time.

Fortunate to see J. Bruce twice. Cream's farewell tour in 68 and again in 69. In 69 at Fillmore West as headliner Jack Bruce & Friends with Coryell and Mitch Mitchell. On the same bill was Mountain and the Winter Brothers. RIP with all your efforts to create the best and play with all the greats.

Jack Bruce is what made the great band Cream; without him there would be no Cream! He sang all their songs and sang them well!👍💯🎯

I'll never ever forget seeing cream at the Grande Ballroom. In the late 60s. Gave a cigarette to him and lit it for him while on stage. Great memories!

Thanks for putting this together, it was enjoyable to watch. Some exciting news: Jack's brilliant Songs for a Tailor is being reissued in a box set including 2 CDs & 2 Blu-Ray discs, with new stereo and 5.1 surround mixes by Stephen W Tayler. Also included on the Blu-Ray is the 1970 documentary film Rope Ladder to the Moon. I think Songs and Harmony Row are two of the most underrated records of the period. I dearly love them both to this day. Very excited to hear these new mixes.

Jack was an immense talent - inventing the "bass lead" guitar and has one of the best male singing voices in the world.

The Years from 1966 to 1987 were the most incredible time period with so many talented bands emerging on the scene, sadly it will never happen again.

Jack was UNBELIEVEABLY talented saw him 9 times live

Jack played with jazz fusion giants... absolute first class bassist

THANK YOU 🙏🏽 Very nice video. I’m too young to have seen Cream but Skips I’m So Glad like Creams version was in my bands set list in 1973. I still love jamming with it today. Songs for a Taylor is one of my favorite albums. I bought a 7 cd & dvd box set last year. It’s got the gig with Mick Taylor Fromm Old Grey show with a bunch of different live CDs. My first show I saw with my wife the Always wanted to do this tour Then the tour with Ginger. Jacks voice and piano playing is deep in my heart Thanks again for the wonderful video ✌🏻

For those who haven't seen it, Tony Palmer made a film about Jack called "Rope Ladder to the Moon". It is brilliant and gives a great insight into Bruce's many talents.
