1969 Song of the Day is- Presence Of The Lord by Blind Faith. Blind Faith was a super group that consisted of two members of Cream- Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker- Stevie Winwood of Spencer Davis Band and Traffic fame and Ric Grech of Family. They made one album and called it a day. The album went to #1 on the Billboard album chart. One of the best songs on the album was Presence Of The Lord which I thought had been a hit single since I’ve heard it so often over the years- but it was only an album cut.There were no singles released from the album. It was the first song that Eric Clapton ever wrote all the lyrics for- and was a testimony of faith. Stevie Winwood who sang all the songs on the Blind Faith album- also sang this- Clapton felt he was the better singer-and wrote the song in a higher key which he couldn’t sing in order to make sure Winwood was the singer. Nothing against Clapton but I think most would agree Winwood is the better singer of the two.

I had the album cover that featured a topless young girl holding a plane.
Yes that was the original controversial cover.
It’s a beautiful song that stands the test of time (and eternity, as The Lord is Eternal). Steve does a great job singing. First time hearing him sing. Wasn’t prepared for the guitar at the end.
Kind of crazy they only did the one album- such is life of a super group!
Remember when the surviving members of Andy Woods’ group got together with Soundgarden people and Eddie Vedder and created Temple of the Dogs? Another fine example. Yes, super group is a perfect name for them.
They weren’t a bad group.
is spotify a pay site? I don’t know?
I’m not sure. I tried to sign into it but realized I’m signed up on soundcloud not spotify.
hmmm when i have some time i will see what its all about..
p.s. first time hearing Steve sing THIS song
Yes a better singer. Clapton was a good singer, but winwood was great
