In 1966, the world's first "supergroup" released their debut album, Fresh Cream, introducing listeners to hits like "I Feel Free." By 1968, the band released one of their most famous tunes with "White Room," a track shrouded in mystery and a bevy of interpretations. One undeniable fact about the legendary, career-defining hit is that it was directly inspired by another beloved icon: Jimi Hendrix.

Bruce went on to explain that he believed the record label's lack of faith stemmed from fears that it wasn't commercial enough.
Clapton also took inspiration from Hendrix's use of the wah-wah pedal, applying it liberally to create one of his most iconic guitar tracks.
What Inspired the Lyrics for the Song
As tantalizing as the music is for the iconic hit, the lyrics have confounded and delighted listeners for decades. Written by poet Pete Brown—who was not an official member of the band—the song was a reflection of a personal relationship, according to an interview he gave to Songfacts.
"And there was this kind of transitional period where I lived in this actual white room and was trying to come to terms with various things that were going on. It's a place where I stopped, I gave up all drugs and alcohol at that time in 1967 as a result of being in the white room, so it was a kind of watershed period. That song's like a kind of weird little movie: it changes perspectives all the time. That's why it's probably lasted - it's got a kind of mystery to it."
