Song
"Sunshine of your love" is a song by the english group Cream. It was released on the album Disraeli Gears in 1967. The song was created after the group members attented to a Jimi Hendrix show in London. It tells about a man waiting to be close to his bride at the end of the night to watch with her the sun rising (hence the title "Sunshine of your love").
Group
Cream was a rock band gathering Eric Clapton (guitar), Jack Bruce (bass) and Ginger Baker (drums). The three musicians were already quite famous when they decided to play together so Cream is considered as one of the first "Supergroup". Their music is a mix of hard rock and blues, and they popularized the use of the wah wah pedal during their shows where improvised tunes could last 20 minutes. They released 4 records between 1966 and 1969. At this time they split, although they lately performed together for special shows.
Times
In 1965/69, people born after the second world war reach their twenties. They were eager to discover new ways of life and to give up their parents' old manners. Influenced by american hippies and the subculture, they gathered in communities (social groups with extremely liberal rules), listened to psychedelic music and explored alternatives states of mind... They were pacifists.
