"Sunshine of Your Love", by British supergroup Cream, is from the Disraeli Gears album. It was Cream's best-selling song and, for their label's the best-selling to date. It features an immediately recognisable riff (even to those who have never heard the song in its entirety) and a laid-back guitar solo from Eric Clapton.
It was written by bassist Jack Bruce and Peter Brown.
"Sunshine of Your Love" was the band's first big US hit. In the US, this first charted in February, 1968 at #36. With the release of the album in August, it re-entered the chart and went to #5.
The song is also on the soundrack of the movie School of Rock and has been featured in "Goodfellas", "Uncommon Valor", and "True Lies"
