Ginger Baker, one of rock's most innovative drummers, is dead at 80. Best known as oen of the-co-founders of Cream, h also performed with Blind Faith, Hawkwind and Fela Kuti. He had a unique sense of rhythm - "you've either got it or you haven't. And I've got it: time. Natural time". He did not suffers fool gladly, and his temper became the stuff of legend, properly documented in Beware of Mr. Baker.
