"We aren’t Cream...” Rick Grech

Blind Faith, already the talk of the music industry, can demand $20,000 plus a percentage of the gate for one performance, and they haven’t even released a record yet. It’s happened because of the reputation of three-quarters of the four-man group.

"We aren’t Cream...” Rick Grech

Blind Faith, already the talk of the music industry, can demand $20,000 plus a percentage of the gate for one performance, and they haven’t even released a record yet. It’s happened because of the reputation of three-quarters of the four-man group. Ex-Cream members Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker and Steve Winwood, formerly with Spencer Davis, The Traffic and a top studio musician, are considered “super stars” in the musical world. They could easily be considered the three kings of music, but instead of following stars, they are the stars.

The fourth member of Blind Faith is Rick Grech. He is short, thin and except for the long hair, looks like the innocent little fellow from down the street. He was touring the U.S. with a group called The Family and had reached a certain status of musical respect as bassist and sometime violinist when the as yet nameless Blind Faith pulled him back to England and instant international recognition. It was his first step toward the summit of success.
