Rick Grech on Blind Faith: "We aren't Cream..."
Mike Gormley, Creem, August 1969
BLIND FAITH, already the talk of the music industry, can demand $20,000 plus a percentage of the gate for one performance, and they haven't even released a record yet. It's happened because of the reputation of three-quarters of the four-man group. Ex-Cream members Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker and Steve Winwood, formerly with Spencer Davis, Traffic and a top studio musician, are considered "super stars" in the musical world. They could easily be considered the three kings of music, but instead of following stars, they are the stars.
