Great musician! Sorry to see him pass. I was fortunate to have seen Cream in Sacramento in March of 1968. QDEP.

Definitely one of rock's most cantankerous figures.  His interviews alone are rather hilarious just to see how cranky he was.  Oh, and he was a great drummer too.

RIP Mr Baker. What a character, what a drummer.

This is arguably my first confrontation with Mr. Baker's work. From late 1966, it's Cream's second 45, "I Feel Free":
