Sons of Cream Perform the Songs of Their Fathers at B.B. King's

In the late '60s, Cream became one of rock and roll's biggest supergroups due to the raw talent of Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton. The band left a lasting impression on music and popular culture with songs like "I'm So Glad," "Strange Brew," "White Room," "Sunshine of Your Love" and hit covers of Howlin' Wolf's "Sitting on Top of the World" and Albert King's "Born Under a Bad Sign." Ginger Baker's son Kofi, Jack Bruce's son Malcolm and guitarist Godfrey Townsend formed Sons of Cream to pay homage to both their fathers and one of the greatest rock trios of all time. The tribute act captures the spirit of the Cream era while each member lays down their distinctive stamp on these classic songs. Learn More

This choir lives up to its reputation every time. The songs were beautiful. The crowd was lively. I went with my husband and two kids. All of us had a ball...dancing and singing with the Harlem Gospel Choir. We enjoyed it so much we went again for the Whitney Houston celebration. Oh, and did I mention the food was good too? It is delicious. You must go!
