The second single released from Disraeli Gears did better on the charts on both sides of the Atlantic than "Strange Brew" and the album itself climbed into the Top 5 in both the UK and America. The success launched Cream into a second grueling tour of America lasting 9 months in 1968 and consisting of mostly one-nighters of headlining. While Cream remained the high watermark of British Blues, as their music matured and their style developed they became the defacto standard of the psychedelic movement.

"Sunshine of Your Love" became a radio hit even before the single was released and continued riding the charts from Christmas of '67 until well into the summer of '68. It became Cream's trademark song and was covered by every band with a guitar player and drummer. Even Clapton, with his phone book sized string of hits revisits the song often.

The record company didn't like the song and didn't want to release it in America, but Booker T. Jones convinced Ahmet Ertegün, founder and president of Atlantic records that the song was a monster. The single went Gold within a month of it's release in January of '68 and was eventually ranked at #65 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In March 2005, Q magazine placed "Sunshine of Your Love" at #19 on its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. In 2009 it was named the 44th best hard rock song of all time by VH1. The song is also a part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll list.

Been perusing YouTube and came across Someone Like You, an Adele song being covered by Sierra Hull. Very nice...

The B-side of Disraeli Gears' third single ("Sunshine of Your Love") got heavy radio rotation in America as programers scrambled to play as much Cream as possible and promote the live shows. Cream's blend of highly sustained drenched distortion, rampant percussion, and a kaleidoscope of various musical textures and colors, both in melody and rhythm was ground-breaking. Clapton's awe-inspiring guitar lead and mesmerizing chord changes sre sensational yet, Dee-jays and announcers struggled to pronounce the song's title. It was another of the band's little joke's, an acronym for "She Walks Like A Bearded Rainbow".

By the end of Cream's '68 tour of America tensions in the band were peaking, Bruce & Baker were at each other's throats and Eric Clapton had grown tired of playing peacemaker. The quality of their live shows had slackened and the musicians were exhausted. At the end of the tour they went back to New York to record Wheels of Fire before returning to England. By the release of the double album the band had announced they were disbanding, but not before yet another farewell album and tour.
