Lyrics:

Do right, use your head.
Everybody must be fed.
Get together, break your bread.
Yes, together, that's what I said.
Do what you like.

Don't fight, use your head.
It's all right every night.
Do what you like, that's what I said.
Everybody must be fed.
Do what you like.

Open your eyes.
Realize you're not dead.
Take a look at an open book.
Do what you like, that's what I said.
Do what you like.

One of the canon of rock of its era. Love the jazz like notes Clapton plays early in the son. Gonna go listen to Brubek's piece right away and listen for the connections.

Does Winwood to all the vocals in this song, or do we hear Clapton too?

Did Clapton sing on any of the other songs on their album?

[makapaci]

@excompost I'm pretty sure he haven't sing on this song nor eny other on this record. I think songs are mostly composed for Winwood's voice, which is way higher and different, than Clapton's so it would be hard for Eric to keep up. ALso Eric Clapton tried to remain low-profile in this particular project, be just one of the band members to rest after Cream's succesful years.

@makapaci He did write and sing on "Prescence Of The Lord". Dont think thats spelled right, but you get the idea.

[makapaci]

@estyle40 No, he only wrote it. Winwood sung on it, Clapton wouldn't be able to hit as high notes.

I'm glad this song hit so many views, and thank you fir that and for all the valuable comments you had posted.

I love the way Clapton breaks into his solo after Winwood's great spaced out keyboard fest. Ginger's counterpoint with Clapton's solo is 2nd only to Ginger Baker's insane solo at the end.

Why is this song on Disraeli Gears on my iPod?

[lrwiersum]

Winwood's voice was as haunting then, as it is now.

@greatcomedian18 Maybe THAT`S what Im thinkin of............ok, sorry bout that. See? You DO learn somethin new evry day. lol

[greatcomedian18]

@estyle40 yep i just listened again thats definitely steve. but i know clapton does sing the song later in his career like when derek and the dominos performed at the fillmore

[estyle40]

@greatcomedian18 Are you guys sure Clapton didn`t sing on "Prescence Of The Lord"? Someone awhile back said Clapton couldn`t have sung on that one cause of the high notes. But Clapton wrote it; I DO know that much: how could he not hit those high notes since he wrote it???

[greatcomedian18]

ok just for the record people eric never sang in the album. he didnt want to be band leader and he also really liked stevies vocals.
