BLIND FAITH was either one of the great
successes of the late '60s, a culmination of the decade's efforts by three legendary musicians - or it was a disaster of monumental proportions, and a symbol of everything that had gone wrong with the business of rock at the close of the decade In actual fact, Blind Faith was probably both. By any ordinary reckoning, the quartet compiled an enviable record. They generated some great songs, still regarded as classics 30-plus years later; they sold hundreds of thousands of concert tickets and perhaps a million more albums at the time; and they were so powerful a force in the music industry that they were indirectly responsible for helping facilitate the merger of two major record companies that evolved into Time Warner, before they'd released a note of music on record. And they did it all in under seven months together. Band Members
