Unfortunately, it is too early to know the funeral details of the English lyricist and poet since his family are yet to meet and decide on that. We shall get you updated on that as soon as they reveal it to the public.
Pete Brown, who was born on Christmas Day 1940 in Surrey, became involved in the Liverpool poetry scene in the 1960s, eventually forming The First Real Poetry Band with John McLaughlin (guitar), Binky McKenzie (bass), Laurie Allan (drums), and Pete Bailey (percussion).
The First Real Poetry Band toured the UK, fusing poetry with live music, and Brown’s talents were quickly spotted by Cream, who hired him as a lyricist.
Brown originally planned to create songs with drummer Ginger Baker but instead forged a tight songwriting connection with bassist Jack Bruce, and together they penned some of Cream’s biggest hits, including ‘I Feel Free,’ ‘White Room,’ and ‘SWLABR.’
He, too, joined forces. Cream’s landmark 1967 song “Sunshine of Your Love” features Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce.
