[@submandave1125]

On the other side of that same coin, check out a 1966 song called "Brainwashed" by David Clayton Thomas with The Bossmen. In fact, check out all his earlier Toronto stuff with The Bossmen (1966) or The Shays (1964-66). It's a LOT grittier than BS&T!

[@robbiesanford351]

Seeing your reaction to this made my day!!!!! FANDAMNTASTIC song!!!!

[@izzonj]

BS&T and Chicago are often compared, even back in the day, because they had horns but weren't traditional jazz ensembles. Chicago was a rock band that used jazz and blues elements (early on). BS&T was a jazz band that used rock elements. As a horn player, id say unequivocally that BS&T horns were more legitimate musicians and a big cut above Chicago. You can hear that in the second half of "God Bless the Child" where they open up to a full-out jazz horn fest. And as a young horn player at the time, i LOVED both groups! If you want to listen to more of a jazz horn group of that era, I'd suggest the group Chase (their leader was their lead trumpet player, Bill Chase), maybe "Open up Wide", to blow your socks off.

[@cstarv]

And When I Die next please. amazing that I loved that song and I was 11 at the time. Love the horns (not a fan of Chicago after seeing them in concert, Peter Cetera was an ahole). Thomas's voice is amazing. I think there was some back story why they fell out of favor during Vietnam timeframe. Either way I loved the band and they put on a great show. Sheeze I'm old.

[@djhrecordhound4391]

Here's a wrench in that theory...in 1966, David Clayton Thomas had his biggest Canadian hit called "Brainwashed", directly criticizing the Vietnam War. It's actually an incredible early jazz-fusion track, but also rocks hard

[@mantroid]

Check out BST's "Go Down Gamblin'"!

[@antarcticorb9197]

I was in junior high when this was released, and luckily I had cool older siblings who let me bring this album to class for a project. I remember one of my teachers being blown away and asking me to please play the song again. And yes, I snagged an A on the project. Thx BST!

[@barbarastewart603]

Check out "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know", probably my favorite from Blood, Sweat and Tears. It is another unique, great tune from late 60s...maybe more powerful than the song you just heard. The difference is the lead singer, Al Kooper, who left the band, but not before putting out Child Is Father of the Man", the album from which "I Love You More..." is a cut. The song you just listened to was the first with a different lead singer (David Clayton Thomas. Cooper was my personal preference.

It was unique enough that everyone knew that guy in the Blood Sweat and Tears song was named David Clayton Thomas.

[@djhrecordhound4391]

He'd already made a big name for himself in Canada, especially with a hit called "Brainwashed", so it wasn't as big a leap for him going to the USA as most people think.

[@MadMax-pu1kj]

Andy hit the nail on the head... in 1968, this was a Very cool song. If you listen, he says, "Lovin' you is where's it's at!" was a giveaway to the Summer of Love (late '60's). Certain phrases mean certain generations. e.g., cool, stellar, crazy, boss, tubular, Lit, Dope, SIck, Rad, Bad (meaning good), fire, phat, awesome, savage, fab, Bad (meaning cool), bonny, fer shure, chill, leet (elite), Gucci, totally, etc. etc. If you were in the late 60's, everyone was saying that something cool where "Where it's at..."
