WRITING PARTNERSHIP

During Bruce's tenure with Cream , Godfrey co-wrote two songs that were included on their debut album Fresh Cream . She wrote "Sleepy Time Time" with her husband Jack, and "Sweet Wine" with drummer Ginger Baker . Of the writing partnership, Bruce later remarked "Ginger and Pete were at my flat trying to work on a song but it wasn't happening. My wife Janet then got with Ginger and they wrote "Sweet Wine" while I started working with Pete."

"Sweet Wine" has since become one of the most widely recognized songs in Cream's repertoire and has remained a fan favourite, as evidenced by it's inclusion on numerous Compilation Album s. Cream also performed both of Godfrey's co-compositions at their 2005 Reunion Concerts at the Royal Albert Hall .

After the breakup of Cream, Godfrey and Bruce, together with Pete Brown, also co-wrote the songs "Morning Story" for Bruce's 1971 album ''Harmony Row'' and "Running Through our Hands" for his 1974 album ''Out Of The Storm''.
