Sunshine of Your Love is a 1967 song by Cream - Band, written by Jack Bruce, Pete Brown and Eric Clapton. It was originally released on the album Disraeli Gears in November 1967, and was later released as a single in January 1968. It is Creams only gold-selling single in the United States. It features a distinctive electric/bass guitar riff and a guitar solo from Clapton. Claptons guitar tone on the song is created using his 1964 Gibson SG guitar (the famous Fool guitar) through a wah-wah pedal and a Marshall amplifier. The song is renowned among guitarists as perhaps the best example of his legendary late-1960s woman tone, a thick yet articulate sound that many have tried to emulate. For the solo, Clapton played the opening lines from the pop standard Blue Moon, creating a contrast between the sun and the moon.
