Rest in peace, Mr Baker.

Yes it has, and I doubt heaven is going to peaceful with Him up there....especially if he runs into Jack.

It's kind of odd....Ginger, and Jack.

Kieth and John.

The best rhythm section, of a couple of the greatest bands of all time. Just an observation.

Carmine Appice had some very nice things to say about his old friend.

People brought up Cream and Ginger Baker's Air Force. Here's his other band, Blind Faith.

"Do What You Like" :) penned by Mr. Baker himself and Elvin Jones ...


Although Steve Winwood's keyboards play a big role, and Eric's guitar and Rick's bass solo are good too. It is Ginger's extended drum solo is awesome, and that snare drum is outstanding which then starts the keyboards up again in that riff.

My cousin told me that was Stevie doing the Edward G. Robinson imitation. The Peter Lorre' imitation well that was Ginger. :)
