Information About

Pete Brown





CREAM

Brown was originally brought into the Cream fold as a writing partner for drummer Ginger Baker , but the group quickly discovered that he worked better with bassist Jack Bruce. Of the situation, 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."

Together, Brown and Bruce wrote the majority of Cream's numbers, including the hits I Feel Free , White Room and (with Clapton ) Sunshine Of Your Love .

After the breakup of Cream, Bruce and Brown continued to write songs together for Bruce's solo career.


TRIVIA

"Pete the Poet", a track on Guitarist John McLaughlin 's debut album Extrapolation ( 1969 ), is named after him.
