CLAPTON AND WINWOOD HAD KNOCKED AROUND together for years. While Clapton was still God, playing with John Mayalls Bluesbreakers, he frequently turned out to jam with Winwood during The Spencer Davis Groups Thursday night residency at Londons Marquee Club in 1. The pair would also get together whenever possible at blues festivals and even appeared on record as Powerhouse, a shortlived studioonly combo which had contributed several tracks to Whats Shakin, a blues boom cash in compilation. The possibility of working together in a full time band, however, seemed remote. Mayalls Bluesbreakers, The Yardbirds and Cream kept Clapton busy and, after the demise of The Spencer Davis Group, Winwood was more than fully occupied with Traffic. By the middle of 1. In Cream, there was a constant battle between Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce, explained Clapton later. They loved each others playing, but they couldnt stand the sight of each other. I was the mediator and I was getting tired of that. And, when Clapton conveyed these feelings to the bands manager, Robert Stigwood,the response was comforting. If Cream split, Stigwood assured him, Clapton was the one he would stick by. Even so, Clapton was not yet ready to quit. Cream had one foot in the grave.

But before Clapton could approach Winwood, the final nail was knocked into. Creams coffin. Rolling Stone called me the master of the clich which just. At that point, I decided to leave Cream. Destroying a. Ginger Baker confirms that Rolling Stone was Claptons bible. As soon as he. got it, he would read it from cover to cover. From the day he saw that review. He didnt want to be the focus of attention. By the time Cream played its farewell concerts at the Royal Albert Hall on November. Clapton and Winwood had begun their first tentative steps towards working together. Although still a member of Traffic, Winwood spent that Christmas with Clapton at his home, Hurtwood Edge, where they jammed long into the night. When I left Traffic in January, I knew I was going to work with Eric, says Winwood. Wed talked about it for ages. Hed just quit Cream and Id gone through a lot of changes with Traff. Ic, and we were keen to do something. Drummer Jim Capaldi remembers Winwoods departure from Traffic as a bolt from the blue. He just split. I dont know what. He never said why, he never said he was splitting. We found out from Chris Blackwell. Aside from such lingering resentments from their old bands, the prospects looked good but, insulated from the harsh realities of the music business by their status, neither Clapton nor Winwood could see that the seeds of their destruction were already sown. Robert Stigwood, keeping his promise, was now overseeing Claptons career. Similarly as a legacy from the days when Island Records boss Chris Blackwell had found and nurtured The Spencer Davis Group, Winwood was under his management wing. For his shrewdness in making deals, Ahmet Ertegun, founder of Atlantic Records, dubbed Old Harrovian Blackwell the baby faced killer. Today, with his wallet bulging to the tune of 1. Britain, a position shared with Mick Jagger. Stigwood, an Australian immigrant whod arrived in Britain nearly penniless, then guided Cream and The Bee Gees to success, is now ranked 9. Back in 1. 96. 9, their combined financial might was already impressive but, unfortunately, according to former Pink Floyd manager Andrew King of Blackhill. Enterprises As far as anyone could make out, Stigwood and Blackwell. They had different priorities. Chris was. devoted to Stevie and Stigwood was devoted to his cheque book. Winwood denies knowledge of any animosity between the management duo Ive no idea what their personal relationship was, but in a business sense it almost certainly wasnt to our benefit. It never came to fights between us and them, but they. Clapton has put it rather more strongly I can see now that we were very foolish to have two managers, but our relationship with Stigwood went back to my days in The Graham Bond Organisation. I realise now that he took advantage of my trust in him even. Blind Faith we didnt have a good deal financially. I think that if. Blackwell had managed the whole band, we might have survived. BY THE BEGINNING OF 1. THE MUSIC PRESS WAS speclating that Clapton and Winwood might form a band, but early guesses about the rhythm section went wide of the mark because during Creams farewell tour, Clapton had suggested to Al Jackson and Duck Dunn, legendary rhythm section of Booker T And The MGs, that he might like to work with them. Anxious to keep the project low key Clapton told Melody Maker that any new group might be short lived, possibly even a stopgap until Cream re formed with Winwood on board. He added that his real intent was to drop out of it completely, publicity wise, press wise. Meanwhile, rehearsals continued at Winwoods cottage in Berkshire throughout a cold February. Feeling that Winwood had the better voice, Clapton continually encouraged him to take most of the limelight. That March, Ginger Baker drove down to Hurtwood Edge only to find Clapton on his way out to Berkshire. Ever sociable, Clapton invited Ginger along although, as he later put it, I love Ginger very much but, at that time, I didnt really want him around. We got to Stevies cottage in the middle of a field, and I settled down at Jim Capaldis drumkit and we just played for hours, remembers Baker. Musically, Stevie and I got along wonderfu. He was one of the greatest musicians Ive ever worked with. What I didnt know then was that Eric would probably rather have worked with Jim Capaldi. Its a curious thing with me and Eric. I regard him as the nearest thing Ive got to a brother, but we always found it difficult to talk about personal things. He never explained, for example, that he wanted it all to be a much more low key affair than Cream had been. I had to convince Eric to let Ginger join, explains Winwood. I really respected as a drummer and enjoyed working with. It wasnt until later that I realised how much Cream had been built round the interaction of Ginger and Eric. Prince musician Wikipedia.
