Groups?

If the purpose of the list of artists is to eventually have them all be links to profiles, then listing groups (eg. Cream) is not going to work.

So we should do separate ones for each, right? Jack Bruce!

Hey, I didn't see Etta James (born Jamesetta Hawkins, January 25, 1938)

Erica: yes, individuals. However, in the case of Cream, all three members were Brits (although Clapton lives in the USA now).

Tangential aside: In late August 1971 I saw Jack Bruce perform in a free concert at London's Hyde Park. The headliners were King Crimson. Jack performed with a temporarily re-united Graham Bond Organization. He played by far the longest bass solo I've ever heard/witnessed. To the extent I can remember it, it was brilliant, albeit too long.

You all are making me Youtube! Etta James & Dr John

PhiDeck - you and are are quasi contemporaries. I saw Cream in San Francisco around 1969 several times. They were amazing.
