[sauronoverlord]

Super cool! Peace and love! Thanks for the post!

[jazzyspazzrawr]

This is my JAAAM!!

[brunocortina]

Fucking stupid people stop complaining you fucking bitches, listen to the song!

[scoobes11]

These guys suck!!!!

[Hikaru44ever]

@scoobes11 Fuck off. Don't listen to them then, idiot. You're wasting your time if you don't like them.

[hebneh]

This song, and group, made horns sound hip again, after some years of rock bands pretty much just using stringed instruments and some keyboards.

And then, in the '70s, every bar band in the USA aspired to sound like this.

[44Fant44]

lol found a old record of this band today with you have made me so very happy and spinning wheel on it

[jerryprofe]

Cool song! Class of '69.

[ThePackaPunched]

groovy bass licks

[thegertkenator]

I came here specifically to say that this song SUCKS. HATE this band.

[perlewitzaudio]

@thegertkenator What's your problem?! What's there to hate about this song or this band?!! You'd better watch what you say, because your just looking for crap from others!! I suggest you stay off Youtube if your gonna post stupid comments like that!

[Gravelgutband]

@thegertkenator YOU suck DICK mkay?

[GrievousAngel66]

@thegertkenator LOL...hahaha...good on yer

[JudgeJulieLit]

Incredibly great, smart, sophisticated, virile, sexy.

[tuefelshild]

shame as this was rock/jazz combo type of music was gonna be the " new music " of the late 60,s....Playboy mag phushed it like mad,..even ended up in their yearly best bands picked by readers, ?? & always ended up as the rythmn section,.for a few yrs,..in the UK the music ended up advert wallpaper by " Graham Brown " the self adesive type,...anyone remembers.....try listening to BS&T,.." does anyone know what time it is ? " group at their best.....try it.....

[bartman67041]

you may not believe me but i remember hearing this song while i was in my crib.this is the earliest song i remember.lol.i also remember everything about my second birthday party .my mother is amazed...anyways,my brothers had a sweet stereo and the windows of the house would shake.i also remember j.geils fullhouse being played at very high levels....ahh the seventies.i remember listening to morrison hotel with my twin sister at five years old now i jam to roadhouse blues with my harmonica.

[jtrimmel]

I could have played 2nd trumpet with that band, eh?

[anikorimotibeber]

just beautiful no more words. thank you

[Paboll]

He´s enjoying the pop star status...even for a jazz/rock vocal

[toxicwaste08300]

this guy has swaggggggggg

[UndieWhere]

Wow! The clarity of this video is insane! It looks like it was on TV this year, not in 1969! I wish more videos from the 60's & 70's were like this...but not all, because some are just too cool the way they are...but the crystal clearness sure is awesome (if that makes sense lol). Love it!

[catholicpriest1]

Almost caught the lens of a television camera at 1:42. That was almost a mortal sin in 1969.

[schnabelkunst]

when this not pure sex!

[nopants22]

I think they did that for TV and the band itself was a great band of it's time and the songs will live on 4 ever ....I love BS&T ROCK ON MY BROTHER

[Gravelgutband]

David Clayton Thomas is the manliest man ever, i wanna see him in a Light Beer commercial with Dick Butkus

[BaddDaddi]

I still perform this song at many of my performances :-) It's very groovy man :-)

[Thinkfree70]

justine briber couldn't stand up to talent like this hed probably shit his pants and get diaper rash

[CallMeIshmaelGuitar]

okay so the trumpets at 2:02, what is that called? haha as a brass player im ashamed to not know what that is ;p

[BaddDaddi]

@CallMeIshmael: Guitar It's a Trombone.

[CallMeIshmaelGuitar]

@BaddDaddi the really high squeals? no that is not a trombone -____-

[BaddDaddi]

@CallMeIshmaelGuitar: Oh! Must be trumpet.

[mossman1966]

This song KICKS and Dace C-T is slick man. Perfect compliment to the sh!t-hot band!

[monthervil]

That part starting at 2:20 scares the life out of me; i feel like im being chased by an evil clown. but i love it

[22centman36]

I want this liesure suit, man

[Greenworthdrive]

Yeah, he may look like a "rubber dummy" by today's standards, but back in the day, a guy was a hipster (edgy, cool, swag) if his hair was long enough to touch his collar, and wore boots and colorful clothing. BS&T weren't considered counter-culture, but they sure did raise the ceiling in jazzy upscale Vegas kinda groove. Rock on, Dave!

[jdbacker12]

While I agree with MattHatter I do wish that BS&T would get together & put out some new material

[DJExcal]

Fuck u EA Games for giving us Origin.. -1000000

thanks for the video :) +1000000

[Liberteh]

Indeed, replay button here: 0:00

[isomikieee]

[kytrucker1]

[djsirlicksalot]

Watch Warren Dean Flandez perform this on you tube...Cover Me Canada, He nailed it!

Vote View Tweet! @CMC_Warren

[marklackeydotnet]

Colomby's drum riser is so far upstage - and so tall - at 1:37 he looks like a dwarf playing a chid's kit. :)

What really makes me smile, though? Great. Groove.

[Only1G13]

I mean he SKEETS @ 0:15! Love every version of this song

[margiedeymann]

For my buurman who knows how the wheel is Spinning! Happy Birthday Mark Hengelstraat in Amsterdam,

@williammc1995 dude so am I

[williammc1995]

dude, im playing this for band

[cherryaddict44]

his mouth bothers me...it doesnt move much...otherwise great! lol



[WMJCPA]

David Clayton Thomas requires no words. This entire band was/is great, that's all you can say. I particularly like Bobby Colomby's free form drum beat. He inspired many blues and jazz drummers that followed later. Just Great.

[PointOfLight]

U youngens have missed some damn good stuff if u don't listen to this type of piece. It wasn't about stereotypes. It wasn't spastic, manic, or monotonous. It was just a good ol' mix of voice, rhythm and emotion. Granted it was an ancient mix, but come on...

Isn't that what music is about?

POL

[TheLethalTouch]

Clayton's face is priceless when he's singing

[komaxlaredo]

the bassline is awsome...i thought the singer was black.

[garymcpherson]

it's hard to find some of these classics on the internet!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheTwotonic]

the great thing about this song was that it was very original and very catchy in a quirky sorta sense

[MattHatter]

The difference between BS&T and Chicago was that Chicago was a ROCK band with Jazz overtones, while BS&T was a JAZZ band with Rock overtones. I have always been a big Chicago fan (early Chicago that is) and BS&T has always been a sort of "guilty pleasure." Dave Clayton-Thomas is far too Vegas-y for my tastes (and the Tom Jones moves ain't helping), the Al Kooper band was better but that didn't last now did it. But still I dig this song every once in awhile.

[HackerGuitarist]

@MattHatter .. you over think it too much ,,, just enjoy the music..good grief

[MattHatter]

@HackerGuitarist Well 5 people obviously agreed with me, now didn't they.

[HackerGuitarist]

@MattHatter .. 5 out of 331,820 .. wow

[MattHatter]

@HackerGuitarist Yeah who am I kidding.

[tallorder9]

@MattHatter Great analysis, agree totally.Dave was always slick, but in a good way.

[Gravelgutband]

@MattHatter Daves not that vegasy live

[Pogokoala]

WOW this sound like Home Movies from Cartoon Network, is it from there?

[homer0383]

the singer looks like a rubber dummy

[k9feces]

@homer0383 Yeah I was punching him at the sportinggoods store

[aba2185]

@homer0383 haha made me lol for a min

[BbyRider]

@homer0383 like the one in your mom's closet?

[cottonfever1221]

@homer0383 WOW! I thought I was nuts,glad was'nt the only one,He looks like the guys from Primus in the "Wynona's big brown beaver" when they were wearing the rubber body and faces. I LOVE these guys,I am not flaming them,its only a observation to the way they look in the weird ass lighting in the vid.

[AntonHu]

@homer0383 But what a singer!



[thesedativediaries]

@quirpco hahaha so did i !

[misterelryano]

Awesome

[quirpco]

A long time ago I thought the lead singer was black until I saw what he looked like.

[Alikah1]

@quirpco That's what I thought about Michael Jackson!

[quirpco]

@Alikah1 LOL...Well I don't know how old you are, but before 1987 you would've been right!

[MrVapourtrail71]

Love Blood Sweat And Tears!!!! As For Those that Don't Care Much For....Could be Worse....Could Be "Garry Glitter!"

[virreyohm]

Tha part of the JAZZ not appears here

[djpio707]

wow this old music is much better than todays shit

[niggy1956]

Does DCT have some chink in him?? Eyes look slanty.

[polkadotsnstripes11]

Back in the 70's...Snape was a drummer...

[userboy6]

is it me or this singer VERY sexy?

[tonewheeler76]

Am I the only one who thinks that the lead singer's grin looks quite gay ??

[arcdirect]

VIVA , CANADA where DAVE comes from Ontario . LOL

[seismotron]

where is "the little Augustin"? The part and the end. oh perhaps for the live video.

[mefault]

Lead singer is kinda hot despite the orange-like complexion...

[nakayne]

I found it! I now know what it was that I was searching for my whole life. Tight Leather Pants.

[gdwmontg10]

David should have made it really big - what a unique voice.

[owim]

wo bin the germans r awesome du.

[svbLEVERKUSEN04]

@denlaw12177 was bist du den fürn opfa hahaaha

[drumbs]

SWINGIN'!!!!!!

[FlyHiawatha]

I remember hearing this while sitting in a Shakey's Pizza in Austin, Texas when I was four years old.

[tool41955]

One of my all time favorite song.



[CountBoogie]

@tool41955 ABSOLUTELY...this is one of the coolest, colorful, best arranged and grooviest pieces of music ever written.

[nitemoovs]

Yea Canadian Soul!

[svbLEVERKUSEN04]

wo bin ich denn hier gelandet

[denlaw12177]

@svbLEVERKUSEN04 Wo bin ich de Kutscheet in yo mamas Vagina asssnitche!!!

[soldier312]

and he still looks like a cheeseburger in this video xD

[murderousbastard83]

Glad I finally fucking discovered who does this song. I used to think it was Chicago and Robert Lamm sang it. Ironically James Guercio produced both bands. Took forever to find out though.

[beatlesfannamedjoe]

He always looks like he's smiling, haha.

[rockthecityatnight]

David Clayton-Thomas - Great vocalist!

[texasghost]

Wanna know present day who the lead singer sounds like..Taylor Hicks.

[soulsista1220]

Lead singers voice is mad soulful

[KRAZZYMF]

man! what memories!!

[tokenblackguyadd]

This song needs more cowbell!!!

[khunter50]

@tokenblackguyadd LOL thats too funny ha ha!

[khunter50]

@tokenblackguyadd LOL

[greatbighand]

Can't hold a candle to the original: DCT's vocals are weaker. But, most of all, where's the best thing of the original recording: Soloff's solo?

[Ricktpt1]

DCT did a great job as usual. But I'd like to respectfully add a nod to the obvious:

It's about the HORNS!

[Homerdoh70]

Sing THAT at kareoke! Wooosh. Knocked out.

[swedemont]

Too bad:( 5 people will never.... Catch a painted pony and let the spinning wheel fly!

[aaqaaqaaqaaqaaqaaqaa]

Beiber is so much better

[117starpower]

@aaqaaqaaqaaqaaqaaqaa you are so much dead if my let my friend see this

[bennip192]

1:56 Michael Cera

[rooster5man]

@bennip192 He used his Scott Pilgrim powers to time travel.

[PMAN365]

thought this was tom jones

[swedemont]

This Is the Real Deal Folks!!!!!

Music Perfection!!!

Enjoy & go back to a time when you could...

Drop All Your Troubles By The River Side!!!

[TheStatue1]

Dig the great Jim Fielder on bass guitar, too.

[fletchdrums111]

Funky Dad who looks like Hoss from Bonamza!!

[mate6mty]

When I was a child I always thought it was Ray Charles singing and could never find the song ,and because record companies in Mexico always changed the titles in Spanish

[raphelbender]

una bandota q su estilo y manera de interpretar sin duda es una de las mejores,no tienen comparacion.simplemente son geniales..

[jerzeefranky3475]

didnt the lead singer become a character actor of some sort afterwards...i swear ive sen him in a bunch of tv shows & films...he has that familiar a face,imho...

[MasterGTALoquendo]

El enfoque que le dio Blood, Sweat & Tears al rock con sección de metal no fue un fenómeno aislado sino que, por el contrario, estuvo inmerso en una corriente bastante extendida a finales de los años 1960. El mismo productor de su segundo álbum, James William Guercio, había impulsado a otro de los grupos emblemáticos del jazz-rock: Chicago Transit Authority (luego reducido a Chicago), cuyo primer disco se grabó en 1968.

[reston81]

first record i ever bought in 1969 what a classic song. To this day i still love it. What a unique sound and brillant vocals

[Fairywexy]

Do you know about Abraham hicks...?

They are talking about the vortex and they have given us a process called the focuswheel-proces.

For those who understand: this song is all about the vortex!

This is fun and so cool!!!

[TNeckBlues]

These guys were always so freakin' tight. First saw them in 1970, NYC. I'd say, David Clayton Thomas was heavily influenced by Ray Charles. Still, D.C.T. is one of my all time favorite male vocalists. I also like the first BS&T album with Al Cooper. I worked with him once and he told me that album only took 7 days to record . They were booked for 10 days - so they had extra time. It was done at at CBS Studio B.

This live version, just as their studio albums, is a great recording

[pesiko78]

.youtube.com/watch?v=yU2Xq_CFo­bI cover by dutch singer on xfactor 2011 ...excellent

[bluejay4480]

cocky SOB ...but great DCT

[desasmujeres]

I worship that epoch. Unfortunately I was born in 1971, thus I missed all that positive energy delivered throughout the rhythm'n'blues masterpieces like this. Those people were REAL HUMAN BEINGS: sensitive, emotional, skillful, with the courage to show their independent feelings. I long for days I couldn't biologically live because my age.

[NJbakintheday]

@desasmujeres 1960s and 1970s: The ABSOLUTE BEST era in music. Pick just about any music genre: rock, R&B, jazz, whatever... and you will find the best singing, song writing, imagination and musicianship in that period.

[desasmujeres]

@NJbakintheday You're so true, according the same feeling I get, every time I "frequent" Otis Redding, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, Sam Cooke, The Motown Guild, The Electric Prunes, The Troggs, ARETHA (Franklin), the latest Beatles, Miles Davis concerting with Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, Jimi Hendrix, the first Pink Floyd sessions and, above all, (two years before my birth) the Woodstock Summer in1969. The last ones were Tim and Jeff Buckley, in order to be the ultimate DEEP performers. Love!

[desasmujeres]

@NJbakintheda You're so true, accordin' the same feeling I get, every time I "frequent" Otis Redding, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, Sam Cooke, The Motown Guild, The Electric Prunes, The Troggs, ARETHA (Franklin), the latest Beatles, Miles Davis concerting with Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, Jimi Hendrix, the first Pink Floyd sessions and, above all, (two years before my birth) the Woodstock Summer in1969. The last ones were Tim and Jeff Buckley, the ultimate DEEP performers. Love and Peace to U!

[MeLovesSoccer09]

I play the alto saxophone in my school's jazz band and we played this song for our winter concert. <3 it!!:)

[olegariorock]

MUY BUEN GRUPO LA RESPUESTA CANADIENSE A CHICAGO OTRO GRAN GRUPO, MUSICOS DE VERDAD.-.

[Juggafreeze2]

His face looks so awkward...

And he looks like an oompa loompa.

But otherwise great song. :)

[MeLovesSoccer09]

@Juggafreeze2 haha yea it looks like he was wearing a bit too much foundation..........

[MGG75]

Awesome song! Also, the lead sing reminds me a little bit of either Frank Caliendo (comedian) or Edwin McCain (when he chopped off his long hair, which has since grown back)??

[Lexrockstheblock]

the lead singer actually knows how to sing

R.I.P. oldies

[anitashelby]

I've Always Loved This Song ! Thankyou Jon...Anita..:)

[AnnaMariaMargit]

waw.. :-)



[Shapinaot]

I always thought Davids voice sounded like my grandpas. Good song.

[duckletshut]

love it = so groovy !!

[rogeralexander7]

HEY....GOOBOO1000....YOU ARE ON THE MONEY....GRAINY, PUNCHY AND

POWERFUL.....CHUCK NEGRON OF THE THREE DOG NIGHT HAS IT ALSO...

LONG LIVE ALL THE THIS GREAT MUSIC....

[thatmuse76]

I always thought David Clayton-Thomas was a little to Las Vegas for my tastes. The Al Kooper version of this band was much better.

[NatureGirl62]

It's Christmas, and my 83-year old mom is visiting. We love music, so I'm showing her incredible archive of music available on YouTube, because she is entirely unaware of this. In the early 70s my parents liked Blood, Sweat & Tears - so I've shown her this, and she's in absolute heaven, as am I! What wonderful memories! Thank you SO MUCH for posting!

[vespertinne]

omfg, what an incredible musical arrangement...

[LocalRailfan]

Pretty much defines cool

[bunloveszep]

What a suave fuck, huh! :)

[Trashfished]

@bunloveszep I was thinking " cool" , however, suave fuck fits perfectly!!

[LittleDragon2000]

Saw David Clayton Thomas live at the CHUM radio studio, Christmas 2007.

What a great guy.

[GabrielDhalaman2]

That drummer will certainly DIE if he falls from there,thank god everything went well

[misterniceguy1111]

@GabrielDhalaman2 who cares. it would have been funny if he died

[vh1177]

@GabrielDhalaman2 Very true!!! Hilarious!

[Parralyzed]

@GabrielDhalaman2 hi retard

[GabrielDhalaman2]

This reminds me of some Procol Harum tune and its from the same time,PH was influenced by this later in the seventies

[justubinallday]

I'm pretty young but my parents played alot of oldies and this is one of the songs that stood out to me. David Clayton-Thomas has an amazing voice. Became a fan when I first heard it.

[Parrambusties]

Beautiful! And did you know that a piece of this theme was used in the soviet cartoon "Nu, pogodi", episode 11 (Circus), in 1977? LOL

[sweetredredwine]

Did they find a directing sign onto the straight and narrow highway?

Apparently not ... ;-)

[spacepatrolman]

@sweetredredwine YEA they did it lead to the newport jazz festival in 69 and the audiance was stunned

[gix500]

hip hop band 3rd base used this song on their cactus album

[martinjp1958]

Superb clip of a great band.

[GibsonFreak1966]

No Band ever did the same trompet-collection-arrangement­s ever again

[bloxoms]

The lyric, 'catch a painted pony' was written for Joni Mitchell.

She lived across the floor from David in the early years!

Read the book, 'David Clayton-Thomas - Blood Sweat & Tears'

[doctorw2]

this is a swingers song.

[Juggafreeze2]

That.. that SMILE. :@

[HottieGal80]

Love love this song!!!

[nunuloki]

They weren't exactly a good-looking band; Bobby Colomby was once quoted as admitting they were "the ugliest band in the world". But what a sound! They don't make 'em like that anymore.

[Juggafreeze2]

lololol.... he smile makes me smile.

[snakeguy76]

Could there have been a more talented band out there? I know this is mostly a collection of studio musicians but rarely does it all come together so perfectly.
