How did the rock band Cream get its name?

lanfranco

The story I've heard, and this site seems to confirm it, is that Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker were supposed to be the cream of the crop among musicians. I've always believed that of Clapton. I understand the group is reuniting. http://www.reasontorock.com/artists/cream.html May 04 05, 5:34 PM

Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker were supposedly the cream of the crop at the time. But before that they also considered calling themselves Sweet n Sour Rock n Roll. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cream_(band) NOTE: You'll need to cut and paste the entire link -- Quick Link is not working properly.
