WHITE ROOM - CREAM (With lyrics on the screen)

"White Room" is a psychedelic rock song by British "supergroup" Cream, written by bassist Jack Bruce and poet Pete Brown. It originally appeared on the US release of their double album, Wheels of Fire, by Atco Records in July 1968 and was released as a single in September 1968 (see 1968 in music), on the same label.
The single reached the top 30 in 7 countries, including Australia, where it topped the Go-Set National Top 40 singles chart.The song was edited for the single release on AM Radio stations, although album-oriented FM Radio stations would play the full album version.

"White Room" was proposed to be released on Cream's 1967 album Disraeli Gears, but was rejected by Atco.The song was similar in style and composition to "Tales of Brave Ulysses", which was written by Eric Clapton with Martin Sharp and was released on Disraeli Gears.
The backing track for "White Room" was recorded while the band was on tour with an 8-track tape recorder, rare at that time.Jack Bruce sang and played bass on the song, Eric Clapton played overdubbed guitars, Ginger Baker played drums and a timpani, and Felix Pappalardi -- the group's producer -- contributed by playing violas.Clapton played a Fender Stratocaster through a wah-wah pedal to achieve a "talking-effect".

"White Room" was placed at # 376 on the 2004 (and its 2010 update) List of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
