One of the best bands ever

Al Kooper is the man! ⚡️♥️⚡️

I damned near wore the grooves off of Child is Father to The Man

Short-lived 6 hits career in Australia from April 1969 to October 1971. The hits still can be heard on classic rock radio stations around Australia today. All hits featured Clayton-Thomas up front. * You Made Me So Very Happy * Spinning Wheel (stalled at #2 did 13 weeks) * And When I Die * Hi-De-Ho * Lucretia Mac-Evil * Go Down Gamblin' (stalled at #36 only 2 weeks)

US had “Lisa Listen To Me” from the fourth album also. Great song!

Chuck Winfield teaches at the University of Maine at Augusta, and has been a pivotal member of the faculty, which is also one of the least expensive places to get an excellent four yr jazz degree in America.

Great band. Great. Songs. Thanks

Best album ever…THE original Blood Sweat and Tears

I first heard them when I was four. I was dancing around the lounge. Have always loved them.

Well done. Your facts and info are quite good. Good sources. I’m in a unique position to know that. Nice job.

Glad it was helpful!

I don't know how true this is but I heard somewhere that 128 personnel have cycled through the various incarnations of BS&T.

You didn't mention Jerry Fisher!!! A incredible singer!! As great as David Clayton!! I saw them with Jerry Fisher in Norman Okla. at the Blue Onion.

You're right!

In　ｔhe picture at 5:29, we can see Don Alias, Larry Willis, Mike Stern and Jaco Pastorius!

My first concert was DCT’s last. In Philly, at the Philadelphia music hall.

My parents played the first album endlessly.

Good job, however, it's pronounced JAW-KO NOT YAW-KO. I believe that info is incorrect, I NEVER knew of Jaco to play or tour w BS&T, however, guitarist Mike Stern did as did saxophonist Joe Henderson. Keyboardist Larry Willis was recording solo albums of his own while in-between tours w the band. When Lew Soloff was on the band, while not touring w BS&T he toured with Gil Evans. I saw them a few times in the late '80's w DCT and they sounded amazing! The cover of the No Sweat album where they're all in the Sona was re-cycled as a joke in the Sona scene in the Blues Brothers as both Lou Marini & Tom Malone were on that album with BS&T and later were on the Blues Brothers band. Trumpeter Alan Rubin who was with the Blues Brothers, subbed for Trumpeter Chuck Winfield on Spinning Wheel.

According to his biography and drummer BST Bobby Colomby, Jaco filled in for a few gigs.

The greatest horn band ever!!!

Second best behind Chicago

They played at Woodstock.

More than 165 band members over the years! That sounds like a record.

I hear David Clayton Thomas is now with menudo….

One of my neighbors, Chris Shutters from Toledo, Ohio now sings lead with BS&T. Haven't seen them nearby but he's also a terrific guitarist!

The same way Chicago should, they have become nothing more than a tribute band to themselves

That's Jaco with a hard J. Not Yaco.. smh

Sweat and Tears seem to be doing well, but I was heart broken to hear about Blood.

I liked Al Kooper's iteration the most. But they were too "jazz" for "pop." Even that rippin' trumpet solo by Soloff on "Spinning Wheel" still sounded sort of "networkie." I followed the Brecker Brothers in the late '80s and lost track of Fred Lipsius who I admired being a sax player, but was soon eaten alive by Cold Blood and Tower of Power who where more funk than I could fit in the trunk. I sat outside San Diego's Funky Quarters to listen to TOP's set TWICE. It was an over 21 bar, but the doorman did me a solid and left the front door open so I got to hear every blessed note. Saw TOP again just after Skip Mesquite exited and joined Cold Blood, and dancin' Lenny Pickett joined the horn section. From then on I was like "Blood Sweat and What?" When I heard DCT's distinctive voice singing in some national brand's pancake mix commercial, I chuckled to myself singing..."What goes up-Must come down-Sellin' flapjacks-Must be a clown!"

A shame they were great

I’ve worked with Al as a soloist and Katz’s BS&T. Kooper is better.

Drugs women and bad business decisions like most bands of that time.

OK could we now stop the bullshit I’ve looked everywhere to stream this movie and cannot find it. Please let me know where it is.

we need youall

Yacho? Or what it Yacob? Not every name needs to be interpreted with an other than American pronunciation. Dude, it's Jaco with a J. No Y. He is not German.

Great second album. However their third was disappointing and Chicago, with a stronger rock vibe became the brass band of choice.

Yes but he didn't have the pipes to hand with a big band.

After Cooper left the Record company decided to make a pop band. They went from a serious musical experiment to something closer to the Archies.

is this man suffering from old age? i loved this album but this guy suffers from altsheimers?

Great topic, terrible host.

Can you talk a little slower?

I saw BST in concert once in the 90s -- they were actually very good live.

Al Kopper left, and a lead singer who sucked was hired.

Can you talk any sloooooowerrr? Play at 1.5x speed and it’s about right.
