EspañolPETE BROWN
:''For other people of that name, see Peter Brown''
'Pete Brown' (born December 25, 1940 in Ashtead, Surrey, England) is a British performance poet, lyricist and musical producer, best known for his collaborations with Jack Bruce. He worked also with The Battered Ornaments, and formed his own group Piblokto. He was part of the poetry scene in Liverpool during the 1960s and in 1964 was the first poet to perform at Morden Tower in Newcastle. In 2004 he formed Brown Waters, an award-winning British film production company[1], with Mark AJ Waters and Miran Hawke.
Brown was originally brought into the Cream fold as a writing partner for drummer Ginger Baker, but the group quickly discovered that he worked better with bassist Jack Bruce. Of the situation, Bruce later remarked "Ginger and Pete were at my flat trying to work on a song but it wasn't happening. My wife Janet then got with Ginger and they wrote 'Sweet Wine' while I started working with Pete."
Together, Brown and Bruce wrote the majority of Cream's numbers, including the hits "I Feel Free", "White Room" and (with Clapton) "Sunshine of Your Love".
After the breakup of Cream, Bruce and Brown continued to write songs together for Bruce's solo career. Brown wrote the lyrics for Bruce's albums ''Songs For a Tailor'', ''Harmony Row'' and ''Into the Storm''.
★ "Pete the Poet", a track on guitarist John McLaughlin's debut album ''Extrapolation'' (1969), is named after him.
★ "Student Susan", a track on Japanese guitarist Saiichi Sugiyama's album ''So Am I'' (2004), which Brown wrote with Sugiyama, is named after the former girlfriend of Stuart Sutcliffe of the Beatles that Brown went out with in the Liverpool poetry scene in the early 1960's.
