The ground-breaking, monster psychedelic hit by the British folk and blues rock band Cream. This song was notable for its song-within-a-song lead guitar solo by Eric Clapton, entirely based on the song Blue Moon (the "Blue Moon solo"), a romance rock hit made popular a decade earlier by The Marcels and written in 1934 by Rogers and Hart. The main song, "Sunshine Of Your Love," was composed in early 1967 by Jack Bruce and Peter Brown who, after a long night working on the song, actually muttered the words, "It's getting near dawn and lights close their tired eyes" ... which became part of the lyrics. The song, released in November 1967 on the album Disraeli Gears peaked in the United States on August 31, 1968, at #5 on Billboard and #6 on Cash Box and #3 on RPM in Canada.
