Blind Faith was a rock band in the 60s famous for having Ginger Baker, Eric Clapton, and Steve Winwood in the band and a naked 11-year-old-girl on their only album cover. A little weird, that. The album included two songs with religious overtones, In the Presence of the Lord and Can't Find My Way Home.
