Spinning Wheels is another great song by this super talented band.

"And When I Die" is probably my favorite Blood, Sweat & Tears song; great music and great message.

It’s my funeral song. Absolutely love the music and the message

The sound you're referring to is a "muted" trumpet where they put a cone in the horn hole.

As Butthead would say, "Huh....huhn-huh...he said "horn hole".

David Clayton Thomas's voice... with a dozen amazing musicians and behind the scenes arranging and producing people. It was magic stuff.

Great song! Blood, Sweat & Tears is a jazz-rock music group founded in 1967. They are noted for their combination of brass & rock band instrumentation. Especially love their stuff when David Clayton-Thomas joined as their lead singer. They had a lot of great songs such as "Spinning Wheel", "And When I Die", "Hi-De-Ho", "God Bless The Child", "Lucretia MacEvil", "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know", "Go Down Gamblin'", "Lisa Listen To Me" etc.

"Spinnin' Wheel" and "God Bless the Child" are a couple of others you should love. 💖

Love your enthusiastic reactions, Shon the Shirtless Wonder. BST was hot in the 70's. One of the first R&B/rock bands in the late 60s and early 70s to feature a dedicated horn section, along with Tower of Power, another amazing group you should check out, and Chicago, of course before they wimped out in the late 70s and 80s. BST had so many great songs including a particular favorite of mine, Spinning Wheel, And When I Die, God Bless The Child, a masterful reworking of Billie Holliday's classic, as well as Hi-De-Ho and Lucretia McEvil. Please keep going down the rabbit hole of these epic horn bands, you won't regret it.

That would be my “next” list exactly. Saw the once live with David Clayton Thomas, outdoors at a beach at sunset. The best!

Front man - David Clayton-Thomas RULES! The instruments are fantastic 👏.

My late husband loved and sang, this and “And when I die”, any chance he could 💖 He passed so young 47; it makes both songs mean a lot! You really should listen to And When I Die”

THIS! I have a list of songs to be played at my funeral kept with my Will; this song is the closer 😂; really. I grew up with my parents playing this album when I was a kid, loved this song and makes me think of them. Then when I had my son in 92, this song seemed to keep coming on when I was feeding him; odd! and of course he made me so very happy; so, it’s got a lot of emotional meaning for me ❤.

I'd forgotten how good they are, thanks for reminding me! And spot on about the horns! Peace from Northern Michigan!

It's an old school thing - these days everything worth while seems to be an old school thing. You are spot on. Greetings from Africa. We all are one.

That album is one of my favorites of all time. I took five albums with me when I was sent to Vietnam in 1969 and this was one of them. David Clayton Thomas' voice is amazing.

I'm not from the US, but I have so much respect for all you guys & gals that fought for your country. I salute you Sir. ❤

Love this band in The Day..70 yrs young now still feel this so❤ngxxxxxx

Another great Canadian artist David Clayton-Thomas.

that soft baground fill is a trumpet with a harmon mute (made of aluminum) on it. Nine Guys: 2 trumpets, sax, trombone, Hammond B 3 organ, gutitar, bass, deums, lead singer. Best horn band ever.

I really believe that “I just wanna spend my life thanking you” is one of the prettiest lines in the history of rock music. Amazing song, amazing band, great reaction! Thanks!

Lead singer David Clayton Thomas is Canadian. I think he was born in England and immigrated to Canada with his family when he was a young child.

Can you imagine what it was like in a nightclub hearing a band like this back in the 60‘s and 70‘s? I used to go out clubbing all the time back then…but I haven’t been to a club in many years. Maybe it‘s time to check it out again. Great band, great review! Cheers

Good Bless The Child is another great one by them.

I was 8 when this came out. I really love this song and always have. I believed I was a Flower Child...always loved music from this era. It's the best.❤

Thank God to my father for introducing me to this band when I was a little girl. And When I Die and Spinning Wheel are two great songs by them. RIP Dad ❤

"What goes up, must come down..."🎶"Spinning Wheel..." Yeah, 🥰 these guys.

When you find THE woman you live for, play this song for her. You won’t even have to say anything else ❤

That little sound that you hear is a trumpet.🎺The opening of the trumpet is covered to give it a unique sound. As far as the genre. Sounds more like smooth jazz.

In case no one has mentioned it, that sound you love is a trumpet with a mute on it. Gives a very unique flavor... Their song 'God Bless the Child' should be right down your alley....😉

Keep listening to them. They have a number of classics. My personal favorite is And When I Die.

Love seeing you discover the beauty of a new song and relive how we felt when we first heard this song. You now have another great group to explore. Two of my favorites are their fantastic covers of "And When I Die" and "God Bless The Child".

David Clayton Thomas on vocals. He had a great raw, soulful voice. And I love the horns and all.

I am constantly AMAZED with what songs and bands touch reactors like you to be emotional and cry. This group and their songs are going to make you CRY a lot!!! "Spinning Wheel," by Blood Sweat and Tears is your next song to react to. It is FIRE!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

i am so glad that you did this. those were the good ol' days. i saw david clayton thomas doing his solo stuff with a backup group after b,s&tears broke up. it was great performance in a rather small venue in the berkshires (massachusetts) back in the mid 1980s. great music. he pulled up to the resort venue in his sports car with the license plates "bst1".

I just found your channel in fact my husband found you first, loving everything. Listen to I'm your vehicle. Isles of March , great song you will love it! Bless you

You made perfect sense dude....spot on regarding horns too

that "little sound you like so much" is a muted trumpet. :p :) 'spinning wheel' and 'and when i die' are also worth a reaction.

A song to my hubby😍 Edit Well...! I thought I was the only one to get a lil teary eyed when listening to this. For many this is a wedding song for me I made sure my hubby heard this when we thought we were losing him. Always thank the one you love for you never know when you'll be able to again💖💖

Great, talented group. All members are Juliard School of Music trained. Check out Chicago's Old Days for a great nostalgia song.

Banger after banger from this group!

Came out when I was 3,early music imprint,Spinning Wheel 1st. They and Chicago with those horns!

Jazz rock! Love Them, so unique!

That sound you heard was a trumpet, with something called a "Mute" in the bell end.

Shon, I think I enjoyed your reaction to BS&W as much as I did the music ❤.

The muted trumpet is the late great Lew Soloff!! Great album....beautiful music! Check out "Spinning Wheel" and "And When I Die".

React to Hi-De-Ho, And When I Die, and God Bless the Child. Great music all.

This is my favourite BS&T song 🎵 ❤️

God Bless the child is probably my favorite after this song.

God Bless the Child by BST. Billie Holiday cover. Excellent.

'GOD BLESS the CHILD' the old Billie Holiday song was done very well by BS&T, check it out

David Clayton Thomas has a great voice. BST was a wonderful group. Check out God Bless the Child, Smiling Phases, When I Die and many more.

I always thought these guys were Canadian. Learned just tonight that they're from New York. They just sound Canadian.

In the comments, several people suggested Spinning Wheel and God Bless the Child. Yep.

that sound is a trumpet with one of those cone things held in the noisy end.

😊 every time I watch your channel you make me smile. thank you for that 🤍

Gotta recognize the bass guitar on this one. He be layin' tracks yo!

This was my cousins wedding dance. Love your videos 🙂✌️

I’m done talking about how regularly insightful you are on these songs. I’m just gonna call you The Shirtless Professor. 😅

They have some great songs.

You have a great ear for music and listen to it with an open heart and mind! Keep up the good work!

My dad loves these guys. I was a little little kid and he had a couple of their records and an awesome stereo system. They were excellent to jam to and had such a different sound and mood to their music.. Them and Chicago made some righteous tunes with those horn sections. BST was more soulful IMO. *Go Down Gamblin'* is my fav song. That horn you were talking bout is a muted brass sound. It's like a plug that fits into the end of a trumpet or trombone and makes that tight wah wah effect. Some players will hold it and alternate open and close for a toggle effect.

Y'wanna hear something crazy? I'm 55 y/o, and my folks had a Greatest Hits of 1969 on 8-track tape, so I never saw them until today. I always thought that this was a black band 😂 I was just barely born when the song 🎉came out so there's that.

Spinning Wheel!

Oh wow. Not heard this for time! Well this is a blast from the past. Love it. Lead singers voice is great. ❤🎼🎤

God Bless the Child and Go Down Gambling are two you definitely should check out. If you do,that rabbit hole could get addictive to you,young fella!!!

You have so much energy and positiveness in every video man, i just found your channel today and im glad i did. Keep it up Shon

Great reaction...great song!

Hey kid you got a handle on this great music I grew up with cause I’m 70, enjoy😊

Check out their Spinning Wheel

If you like this check out The Association...."Never My Love". One of the best songs and groups of the 60"s

Hey Shon, I'm a big fan of BS&T and I thought I'd leave a suggestion, if interested. "BS&T - Live In Holland 1970 "HI-DI-HO" (by the channel: Shinn Sann) As always, I really enjoyed, your reaction and Thanks for sharing.

Happy you're checking out BS&T, next listen to their "Lucretia Mac Evil" please.

Spinning Wheel is the jam

They covered other peoples' songs. Couple of my favorites are the Billie Holliday classic - God Bless the Child and Carole Kings' - Hi De Ho (Old Sweet Roll) This album, not their best, won the Grammy for Best Album. (It was good, but probably shouldn't have) Their 1st Child is the Father to Man, was their best. After those 2, the quality pretty much went down hill. Greatest Hits will do.

Also, Laura Nyro's And When I Die. That was epic.

One of my Mom's favorite songs. She passed it down to me. It's a cover, I think the original is by Betty Everett ( the "SHOOP,SHOOP song)

If you want a different genre, try Contemporary Christian. Matthew West has a song called “Truth Be Told” you would enjoy. He is an amazing songwriter and singer. If you don’t enjoy it I will never request another CC song. It is so applicable to today’s world and mindset. Love your channel Shon!

I grew up on this music, so I have some great memories, thank you. Passion and power? Paolo Nutuni, Iron Sky, Abby Road session. Awesome lyrics, raw vocals and fabulous instrumentals. Love your reactions!

Great job!

A great band. Greetings from the Netherlands. 🎶🎶👍
