Blind Faith

The Profile

Blind Faith were a British supergroup formed in 1969 by Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood, and Ric Grech. They released one self-titled album and disbanded the same year after a brief tour.

Members: Eric Clapton (guitar), Ginger Baker (drums), Steve Winwood (vocals, keyboards, guitar), Ric Grech (bass, violin). Formed in London in 1969; debut concert at Hyde Park, London (7 June 1969). Released one album, Blind Faith (Polydor/Atco), then dissolved later that year.

Two DeBaser reviews celebrate Blind Faith’s lone 1969 album, praising Winwood’s songs and Clapton’s guitar. Standout tracks include Had to Cry Today, Can’t Find My Way Home, Sea of Joy, and Presence of the Lord. Do What You Like is noted as overlong but not album-breaking. The British supergroup formed from members of Cream and Traffic, dazzled briefly, and split the same year.
