Pete Brown was a British poet who became a songwriter and collaborator with the supergroup Cream. He wrote the lyrics to “Sunshine of Your Love," one of the band's most successful songs.
Here, you can listen to "Sunshine of Your Love" on YouTube.
This tribute is one of 44 short yet illuminating episodes about significant figures in the music industry who passed away in 2023. They were written and recorded by longtime writer/editor Sheldon Zoldan, who also is the creator behind Song of the Day, a music-related story sent daily to an email list of subscribers.

If you'd like to learn more about Brown, check out his 2010 autobiography, "White Rooms & Imaginary Westerns: On the Road with Ginsberg, Writing for Clapton and Cream — An Anarchic Odyssey." There's a picture of the book's cover in the chapters.
Also in the chapters, you can go right to the tribute by skipping my intro; feel free to skip my closing remarks too. Both are there to provide context for those who haven't listened to the other tributes.
Audio engineer/musician Mike Villegas edited all the audio for this series. Hope you enjoy these intriguing glimpses into the lives of the people who made some of the music we love.
This is Kate Jones. Thank you for listening to my show, available on YouTube and in most of the podcast directories including Apple, Spotify and Audible.
