Cream were a British rock band formed in London in 1966. The group consisted of bassist Jack Bruce (14 May 1943 – 25 October 2014), guitarist Eric Clapton (born 30 March 1945), and drummer Peter Edward "Ginger" Baker (19 August 1939 – 6 October 2019). Bruce was the primary songwriter and vocalist, although Clapton and Baker also sang and contributed songs. Formed from members of previously successful bands, they are widely regarded as the world's first supergroup. Cream were highly regarded for the instrumental proficiency of each of their members. Tensions between Bruce and Baker led to their decision in May 1968 to break up.

In 1993, Cream were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They were included in both 'Rolling Stone' and 'VH1's lists of the '100 Greatest Artists of All Time', at number 67 and 61 respectively. They were also ranked number 16 on 'VH1's '100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock'.
