Probably the best bass player in all of rock music and a great vocalist/songwriter:

And just the other day I watched the videos of their 2005 reunion at Royal Albert Hall on YouTube.

And a film of their 'Farewell' concert at the same in 1968.

Have my Wheels of Fire album (vinyl BBY:yeah:) and Creams greatest hits on the car CD...If "Clapton is GOD" Ginger and Bruce were the Killer Angels! On my air guitar: forever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE9HvSdcaL4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE9HvSdcaL4) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A40LlP4n3H4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A40LlP4n3H4) Kept me bright-eyed (awake?!!) behind the wheel of my eighteen-wheeler on not a few 500+ mile nights! I'm truly bummed!

Very sad news, new he had been pretty unwell for some time now. He lived just up the road from me.
When the local pub reopened and they had some bands playing it was good to see him smile when they played some of his stuff, got a good cheer as well.
RIP Jack thoughts are with you and your family.

Another true legend departs....

RIP Jack, your memory will live on forever :rock:
