Blind Faith-Blind Faith (1969)

On June 7, 1969, while Cream was still in the news for his disappearance in London's Hyde Park, thousands of young people witnessed the first concert and at the same time the birth of an incredible superband, with part of the greatest myths of the time, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood, and Rick Grech, this is Blind Faith.
But a supergroup like Blind Faith couldn't last long, as it would. With a prodigious album, delusional performances and also the incompatible character of four monsters, all of them absolute leaders, previously in their respective groups.
That was too amazing to be true, but it would be for a few months, as Cream faded, while Traffic cracked for the first time from the rift between Winwood and Mason and as Family lost one of their key men Rick Grech, who after Five years left them, Blind Faith takes over without question.
Undoubtedly, while Blind Faith were united, they were numbers 1, the fusion of the four musicians with a fabulous sound kept them at the top with tremendous concerts by the United States and Europe.
But it was evident that there was no acclimatization or stylist fusion, each one tried to make their ideas prevail in the only album they recorded, where three songs are signed by Winwood by just one by Clapton, another by Baker and a foreign version as a complement, perhaps, this was one of the causes of the short duration of the invention, all this confirmed a considerable mix of trends, which would remain in history as what was a giant of the 1960s, the album itself is a A true wonder that earned a place in the history of Rock on its own merits, and not only because of the stars that appeared in the credits, nor only because of its controversial and also historical cover.
