Formed in 1966, the trio consisted of Eric Clapton from The Yardbirds, Ginger Baker and vocalist Jack Bruce from Blues Incorporated and the Graham Bond Organisation. Together, they are widely considered as the first official supergroup in rock music.
"I had always liked Ginger", Clapton shared in a 1997 Guitar World interview, "Ginger had come to see me play with the Bluesbreakers. After the gig, he drove me back to London in his Rover. I was very impressed with his car and driving. He was telling me that he wanted to start a band, and I had been thinking about it too.”

Furthermore, the band has frequently been named among the greatest supergroups of all time, alongside legendary all-star ensembles like Bad Company, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Traveling Wilburys and others.
It’s easy to see why their 1967 track "Sunshine of Your Love" became the band’s signature anthem.
Written by the trio alongside lyricist Pete Brown, "Sunshine of Your Love" was born out of an all-night songwriting session.
Picking up his acoustic guitar, he played the now-iconic riff while Brown wrote down the opening line, “just like in one of those really cheesy biopics.”
The unexpected moment sparked the song's signature melody, with Clapton adding the chorus section, which Bruce later described as a “really nice turnaround part.”
