RIP Jack Bruce
Discussion
Gone to the White Room where the sun never shines (showing my age).
A time when Bruce was lead vocal - if I recall he wrote most of White Room, those lyrics just rolled.
I doubt anyone could write stuff like that anymore.
Like most of the other Cream songs in the late 60s. Fabulous time, not just Cream but many of the other bands.
RIP

Here he is jamming with Rory Gallagher. A little bit of how I'll remember them both now.

An absolutely astounding clip Here he is jamming with Rory Gallagher. A little bit of how I'll remember them both now.

And I know I should not steal Jacks thunder (or thread), God bless him; but it reminds me very much of Gary Moores impromptu session at Marshall, with Brian and Pete. All just made up on the spot

Just for clarification, many of Jack Bruce's songs, including White Room, were written together with Pete Brown. The collaboration also wrote Sunshine of your love, I feel free and the wonderful tracks on Songs for a Tailor and Harmony Row. If any of you are Cream fans and fancy looking into Bruce's solo work I can thoroughly recommend Songs for a tailor, especially; Never Tell Your Mother She's Out of Tune, Theme for an Imaginary Western & Rope Ladder to the Moon. I love all his solo albums but they tend towards jazz rock for those expecting something like Cream

In the previous post on page one Jack dedicates Theme from an Imaginary Western to Felix Pappalardi and so does Lesley West on this great cover.

I always thought Brown wrote the lyrics and Bruce the music, but I could be (and most probably am) wrong.If any of you are Cream fans and fancy looking into Bruce's solo work I can thoroughly recommend Songs for a tailor, especially; Never Tell Your Mother She's Out of Tune, Theme for an Imaginary Western & Rope Ladder to the Moon.

It is a wonderful song - I know Mountain really made it their own, but JB's genius seems to shine through

I remember sitting in a pub in Bathgate (early eighties I was in my late teens early twenties ) and this band started setting up. I owned a few Clapton and Cream LP's and I was sure this band member was Jack Bruce older but recognisable from the album covers.
I said to my mates thats Jack Bruce they said who? Well it was and what a special night for me. RIP Jack.
Very similar to my experience. Charlie Watts put a band together in the mid eighties and toured, I saw them at the Nottingham Palais (of all places). All sorts of famous and not-so-famous musicians played, Jimmy Page walked out on stage and the place went nuts.I said to my mates thats Jack Bruce they said who? Well it was and what a special night for me. RIP Jack.
Then Jack Bruce plugged his bass in and I went nuts.
RIP Jack, and thanks for the music.
