It was then covered by Cream on their first album, "Fresh Cream", then later put on their last studio album "Goodbye" as a live performance.

"I'm So Glad" was also recorded by Deep Purple, in a medley with their original song "Prelude to Happiness", for their 1968 debut album "Shades of Deep Purple". Deep Purple supported Cream on their Farewell Tour in October 1968 where Cream's "Goodbye" version was recorded. Deep Purple recorded their own live album on the same night, titled "Inglewood - Live in California". The album, however, remained shelved until 2002, when it finally was released.
