We were fortunate! Loved my childhood, teen years. What great era to grow up in despite the typical political violence. Nam, assasinations, etc. Never felt threatened to walk just about anywhere alone. Even the racial divide was less violent in my case anyways. Sure some areas were poor and of course that drove crime not race as much!
Me too. I've been 28 since 1996. I just celebrated my 42nd anniversary of my 28th birthday 😂🎉 I just love all of that brass and David Clayton Thomas' voice. Rock on!
69 year old black woman! Loving it. That brass section is on point. I used to listen to Blood Sweat and Tears back inthe day love them. And still do. So much meaning for right now. These days we are living in be encourage. Love Peace And Soul. Out!!!!!
I was 11 years old when this song came out. I'm 63 now, I survived colon cancer and Covid 19. When I will be gone, this song will still be carrying on and on and on. Great song, God knows how I miss the 60s and the 70s.
I know best the 80's and the 90's (born 1976) but clearly = I am with you about the 70's... 99% of my DVD's are 70's movies, and goes the same on music.... A good evening is one evening I can feel the 70's !
Congrats on beating colon cancer. I've been stage 4 cancer for just over 3-years but am feeling good for the most part. [I might beat it.] What would we do without UA-cam, every hit from the past is at our fingertips. Peace brother.
I was born 1970 and God knows how this song made it into my father's eclectic but not very jazzy record collection. Song's been with me for over 40 years.
@@ZeroGravity60 May God remove the entire cancer, you certainly got my prayers. I was stubborn, at age 50 i refused to do the colonascopy. At age 60 some friend convinced me to do it, when i woke up from recovery they gave me the news. I honestly did not react, to this day the only thing that brings bad memories is the chemotherapy. You my brother surely know how painful the treatment are. Did you do any radiation? I didn't, great doctors here in NYC. I'm limited in modern technology, my nephew found your comment. God bless you, and stay away from simple carbohydrates, like sugars. 👍
My Daddy loved these guys. He played saxophone in high school and they called him "Dimples". He enlisted in the Navy during Vietnam draft. Miss you every day, Daddy ❤
@@robertthacher2660 listening to bands like Chicago and Steely Dan at a very young age. . They were so progressive and way ahead of their time. . 🎵 🎙️ 🎧 🎹 🎸 🎻🎷 🎺🥁 🪘🪇
Clean and crisp...the horns, sax, flute, and recorder are so real you can hear the very subtle mistakes that make it authentic, unlike the computer-generated sounds we hear now. The drums snap, the cymbals crash, and the tambourine rattles just the way they are supposed to. It doesn't get any clearer than this, true unadulterated sound....I love it!
A Black Woman from Memphis, TN..Believe it or not, I grew up on this kind of music, so glad to be Reunited, I remembered the lyrics but no title, but u found it..of course it's on Repeat, music is the Universal Language..we can all relate no matter what culture..
Spring 1969 and skipping class. Sitting under the trees with a transistor radio and this song seemed to be on all the time. A great memory. I passed grade 11, too.
I heard it now and again on the radio in the 70s without knowing who performed it,as the same time as I heard of Blood Sweat & Tears a bit without knowing which songs were by them.
THIS SONG, and, You've Made Me So Very Happy. I don't know who did those arrangements. vocals, horns, and tempo. but Shoutout to the Music Arranger who did do it.
When I was a kid my mother had this record and I would play it over and over. I couldn't get over this trumpet solo. It still blows me away all these years later. Well I own the record today and still put it on the turntable from time to time. Takes me right back to sitting in the family room of my childhood home.
Around 1968 I was lucky enough to set in on a closed rehearsal where they played this song , my brother was 7 yrs older than I , I was 7 and it was the coolest thing ever lol I had also seen the Main Ingredient (Everybody Plays the fool) Thanks Brother for letting lil bro tag along Love ya
You have to understand that when this came out there was no such thing as fusion. These people were trailblazers. We had never heard anything like this music. They were and forever will be amazing. Thank you for posting.
I bought this album in the early 70's. The golden era of music. That was the decade where you had to be real good and different to make it in the record industry. A typical pop station would play Chicago, BS&T, Billy Joel, James Brown, The O'Jays etc. Those days will never come back.
Still loving this music in 2021. My dad was a jazz saxophonist. I grew up with big band music . He would make me sit and listen to a record and tell him how many instruments were playing and what they were. A great mentor friend and father. He appreciated me listening to this music more than any other from this era. A truely great band, together with Chicago
Hell Yeah!!!!! Got this Album!!!!!!! Takes me way back to the Awesome 70's Era!!!!!!!!!! All that nice High!!!!!!!! Im 70, now still Rock n Roll!!!!!!! But all Natural High!!!!!! Ha!
Same here and I'm 25 years old. I'm actually proud of myself for randomly thinking of this song. I really should have been 25 in 1975. I live in Colorado though so I'm as close as I can get.
I agree but the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is so stingy so it’ll probably never happen. Didn’t it take Pink Floyd like 60 years of musical mastery to get in? I’m sure the Stones are still waiting on their pending application haha.
The Hall of Fame is a store opened by jewish businessmen who couldnt give shit about music,just money...the saddest part is the endorsing by actual talent...
This was 1969.....my grandmother was in st Anthony's hosp in alton..illinois Had a reaction to penicillin That's when I came across blood sweat and tears.and this Song.my grandmother recovered.!
Definitely a musician's song...today is may 29th of 2020 and with everything happening I needed this song today so much. I just ignored the world for a moment (or 40 but who's counting) and it got me to love music again. Thank you
I just posted this to a small group of musical friends who'd grown up in a fresher tradition. I do this a lot, as it's their grandparents' roots and they should feel what it was like. As for me, I lived through the Stoned Age. And, happy to report, I'm writing more today than ever.
The flute/instrumental part about half to 3/4th of the way threw the song always reminded me of someone going threw a mental breakdown, like something you would hear the exact moment they left reality.
Yeah, while we’re in a general music drought currently, and have been for decades, thankfully it was quite the opposite during the 60’s & 70’s as we were rich with ‘horn’ bands!
BS&T along with Sly and the Family Stone created the first widely accepted horn driven jazz/rock/fusion bands. They were followed by Chicago Transit Authority, Earth Wind and Fire, Tower of Power, et al. I always felt that BS&T got washed out by Chicago, and some of the more enduring groups, and never received their full recognition as innovators, in what would become the most influential form of music in the last fifty years! 👑🎸🎵🎺🎷
How about YOUR REPLY by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes? Knebworth Park 11th August 1979. All day concert leading to Led Zeppelin. I’d never heard of them before, though I was impressed
I was born in '67, and my mother was a huge BST fan. Spent the first 5 years of my life with them playing on a loop in the house. This shit is in my DNA and I couldn't be more grateful.
My music teacher in grade school (little old nun) played this in class once… we all giggled like whatever. I’m 42… been listening to this jam & many like it ever since. My old lady nun music teacher- was a BA!
OMG! This album will be 50 years old next year! Good lord, I'm old! I had it on LP, cassette, 8-track, reel-to-reel & CD! A perfect rock and jazz fusion. Thanks for posting!
When I was listening to this and their other songs in the 1960s I did not realize that I was being introduced to fine vocal jazz. I just knew it was another level above the pop music I was generally listening to on the local radio station. Fifty years later I realize what a gift it was.
Isn't it amazing to find out all these years later, we were among greatness; and at the time(some of us) didn't realize it until our later years!!! Just goes to show, its never too late to appreciate all these musical gifts!!! Thank you Blood, Sweat and Tears...and UA-cam!!!👍👍👍👍
This song was my first record I owned when I was a child. I remember how much I loved it and when I heard that trumpet solo I was amazed. Remember when we were kids and couldn't wait until we heard our favorite song on the radio? Technology at our fingertips, times have changed but this song will never change, it's one of my favorites.
A nostalgia-inducing aural confection from glorious third grade, my favorite and most deliriously giddilly enjoyable childhood year. The whole album was terrific. Still is.
One of the many beautiful gifts from high school marching band. We used this for a warm up every single morning, I’ll always love this song. I’m lucky I had such rad band directors.
This song brings back a lot of memories! I was too young to appreciate it when it first came out; but when "classic rock" stations started popping up in the early 80s, I was finally exposed to amazing gems like this one!
I can hear the days when my Pops played this song for me. I was 11 years old at the time. I'm 62 now. Such a time to be alive, I fear the new generation will not experience such mastery.
My dad introduced this band to me when I was about six or so. I remember he had this on a reel-to-reel tape player. It remains my one of my favorite songs.
Barbara Miller Saw them in Baltimore back in 1969?. We were stunned at how dammed good this group was-not a slacker in the bunch. Another group that would bring down the house every time was Chicago. These guys were all pro musicians. The Best! This was when America could reach the moon.
I'm 53 as of 2/25. My mom had this on original 45 venal record when I was a kid, used to listen to it all the time. Still love it. Still listen. B.S.T. Always Rocked!
It's 2024, I grew up in the 1970s, always remember this incredible music playing. It never gets old, like me😊❤🎶

Those Horn Arrangements are Awesome.
Never get sick of those horns. Timeless piece.
In those days, a horn band also had a Hammond B3 and a Leslie!
This is why I love the band Chicago!!! 💜💜💜
Salute Lew Soloff. You showed the entire trumpet world how to play rock. RIP.
He plays the trumpet solo in the classical salsa theme "El cantante" by Hector Lavoe.
My Daddy loved these guys. He played saxophone in high school and they called him "Dimples".
He enlisted in the Navy during Vietnam draft.
Miss you every day, Daddy ❤
❤HE MISSES YOU TOO❤HANG IN THERE❤😊😮❤!!!
“Someone is waiting just for you.” My dad loved this song as well. I’m sure our Dads are waiting in heaven just for us!❤
Jazz, psychedelic, & funk all wrapped into a delicious sound. Can't get enough. Love the sounds of the 60s and 70s.
This was just before the Chicago Transit Authority. It ushered in the early 70's horn sound!

And a Dutch Sinterklaas song... (must be an international traditional tune, then). (It may be the part that you call "psychedelic".)
Best song ever. One of my all-time faves. It never gets old. Hands up if you're listening in 2024!
Now January '24!!
May 2024
I'm listening to this and enjoying!!! I remember this Song when I was in Middle School
❤ amen
June 11, 2024. Still Spinning!!....:)
One of THE all time best trumpet solos ever recorded.
It's funny, I hadn't listened to this song in years, got a yang for it suddenly, and still remembered every note of that awesome solo.
Agree!
Don’t get out much, eh?
Lou Solof was the man. Top recording musician, probably ripped that solo off the top of his head.
As we said back in the late 60’d and early 70’s, “I can dig it!” Groovey
Far out and solid
Bitch'en! Too the Max !
This is a great mix of Soul, Funk, and Jazz
Can you believe that this music used to be on the radio? Now look what we have!
watered down crap
It's getting better for me locally I'm hearing Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, and such. It least is a start.
@@patgalvez4563 overproduced, autotuned, watered down crap.
Treat today's radio like the plague.
This group was so tight, most groups/bands in this era were phenomenal..
How I miss those days..!!
No autotune there.
I miss that era every day
Clean and crisp...the horns, sax, flute, and recorder are so real you can hear the very subtle mistakes that make it authentic, unlike the computer-generated sounds we hear now.

I'm sorry you are not looking for current well produced albums. They're out there. Just less of them.
there are no mistakes in that you kidding. they would take like 1000 times to get it back then.
and they lip sinced besides 1969 still isnt all that old.
Nothing like it. When everything’s a classic, include this fer sure.
What mistakes

I made the same comment as a black male. I sing it two sons.
Me too I still like this.
Yep! I liked it too!
Give my regards to Beale Street
white dude here who grew up in Memphis. Great music then. Good times. Take care
This ought be be the road tire changers international anthem....especially the flute part at the end.

A perfect mix of jazz and rock and roll combined in one perfect group love me some Blood Sweat and Tears and Chicago

You have to understand that when this came out there was no such thing as fusion. These people were trailblazers. We had never heard anything like this music. They were and forever will be amazing. Thank you for posting.
Yes. Well technically their first, and some would say better album, was also fusion.
DLSmith93 these guys just wanted to make kick ass music, no pretense of being actors or any other bullshit. The music reflects that.
DLSmith93 sadly I didn't realize that their train was hijacked by chicago
Maybe not fusion as in the stuff from the seventies but there was jazz rock(which is basically what this is).
Zappa, Chicago Transit Authority, and a little later, Steely Dan
I bought this album in the early 70's. The golden era of music. That was the decade where you had to be real good and different to make it in the record industry. A typical pop station would play Chicago, BS&T, Billy Joel, James Brown, The O'Jays etc. Those days will never come back.
Great trumpet solo by Lew Soloff! He was the master trumpeter. I always enjoyed his solos, being a trumpet guy, myself. RIP.
Being a drummer at the time, I enjoyed Bobby Columby’s work on this as well as Lew’s horn!
Awesome!
@@RASmith-gt9mm Yes, they were all top-notch musicians! Like Steely Dan, that fit in so well together.
Ever hear of Forrest Buchtel (trumpet player)? I love his style of playing as well!
@@RASmith-gt9mm That drumming is superb!
Rip paulie walnuts
I remember listening to this song at night time, while on a Greyhound bus somewhere in Ontario in a snow storm!! That was like 24 years ago!! LOL

Hell Yeah!!!!! Got this Album!!!!!!! Takes me way back to the Awesome 70's Era!!!!!!!!!! All that nice High!!!!!!!! Im 70, now still Rock n Roll!!!!!!! But all Natural High!!!!!! Ha!
This music needs to come back for other generations it is out of sight good
And we believed artists were going to keep creating music of this caliber and quantity forever.
Damn, what have we lost...
So so sad but true. This is real music!!!
There’s plenty of stellar music that’s coming out still. Just gotta search it out! If you dig the horn performance here check out Aberdeen
Samantha Fish, Black Stone Cherry, One Bad Son, Dirty Honey, Band Maid, The Pretty Reckless.
Damn you act like there aren't artists out there who write good music.
You are looking in the wrong places.
@@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917 "caliber and quantity" we didn't have to go looking for it, it was everywhere and it defined us and brought us together.
Absolutely love these guys!!! Decades later, still amazing music!!!
The musicianship on this is on point!!! That horn section is fire!!! Love how they turn on a dime with it.
It's a pretty good thing to read this from a connoisseur
The tightness of this song is superb.The best BST song ever. Right there with Chicago's Beginnings.
Don't think Chicago members weren't blown away by this song!
Great points... The turning on a dime comment turned me on a dime. :)
It's ALL ABOUT THE HORNS !!!!!! THEY RULE !!!!! AS ALWAYS !!!!!
I snuck in back stage and saw them play this live. Awesome!!!!
My favourite song of the 60s. An absolute fine specimen of musical genius, creativity and rythmic rhymes.
this song just popped into my mind - getting old but good music never gets old
💚💙
This just happened to me as well. Came out of nowhere.
and when i die - when i am gone . just one child to carry ON ! good luck kids .
In time, Iam with U2.......and??!
Same here and I'm 25 years old. I'm actually proud of myself for randomly thinking of this song. I really should have been 25 in 1975. I live in Colorado though so I'm as close as I can get.
This song was a hit single when I was a kid, and even my Mom (born in 1918) liked it. She was a true music lover.
There's nothing like rock solid musicianship and ensemble. Such a tight group with a firm sense of style. Fantastic!
The Hall of Fame needs to induct Blood, Sweat, and Tears to add to the Woodstock generation.
Keith Pixton Redbone, too. The RRHF is purely political, though. Talented musical pioneers don’t necessarily get in, sadly.
I agree but the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is so stingy so it’ll probably never happen. Didn’t it take Pink Floyd like 60 years of musical mastery to get in? I’m sure the Stones are still waiting on their pending application haha.
The Hall of Fame is a store opened by jewish businessmen who couldnt give shit about music,just money...the saddest part is the endorsing by actual talent...
@@donjonsen5295 WHy are they always like that. Hall of fame is for good music and recognition not for political Bs or Profit.
Absofreakinglutly.! They belong there with a Diamond star. Its beautiful music for all genertions of human kind and alliens also. 🪐🌠
Guess it was '69. We'd be sitting round at night, smoking weed. Listening to this many nights actually.
Nice....
Pre Chicago in 1969, this song is hard to beat! David Clayton Thomas is great!! The solo is top notch!
One of the best songs ever written !!!!!!!!!!!
I'm 57yrs old, and I cannot remember when the name of this band wasn't my favorite band name of all time!!!!

This was 1969.....my grandmother was in st Anthony's hosp in alton..illinois
Had a reaction to penicillin
That's when I came across blood sweat and tears.and this

Kind of as unique as 'Traffic' in their own way
Best tune in the juke box ☸

I recall hearing this great song back in 1969.
Even their *hits* were progressive. Incredible, one of the greats.
Indeed
one of the greatest sing-a-longs of all time.
This song was big when I was very young. With that horn section and that voice, do you wonder why?

There is a deeper message in this song and it is more evident these days.

1970’s to whenever present is.. I go back to this one
Absolute classic and still holds up to this day. Lots of interesting time changes and other unique sound patterns.
What a great tune. So many chord changes, tempo..it's all over the place, yet completely fits together.
This is a number one tune from back in the day. Real instrumentation with horns. My kind of band. Blood, Sweat, and Tears made it happen.
Oh yes back in the early 70s!! Time Machine worded I’m no longer in 2021 thank God!!!! 🇺🇸
One of the many beautiful gifts from high school marching band. We used this for a warm up every single morning, I’ll always love this song. I’m lucky I had such rad band directors.
This song brings back a lot of memories! I was too young to appreciate it when it first came out; but when "classic rock" stations started popping up in the early 80s, I was finally exposed to amazing gems like this one!
I can hear the days when my Pops played this song for me. I was 11 years old at the time. I'm 62 now. Such a time to be alive, I fear the new generation will not experience such mastery.
Best brass band along with Chicago and Tower of Power... DClayton Thomas is my pick as vocalist....intense and powerful...
Love them I'm 66yrs old and live this!!! What about God Bless the Child???
My dad introduced this band to me when I was about six or so. I remember he had this on a reel-to-reel tape player. It remains my one of my favorite songs.
The music, lyrics, and the singing is on point! One of the greatest songs of the late 1960's!
Never gets old. This song should be heard hundreds if not thousands of years from now.
The best ever Brass Band in the Century
Still have this album. Good old vinyl!
Barbara Miller Saw them in Baltimore back in 1969?.
We were stunned at how dammed good this group was-not a slacker in the bunch.
Another group that would bring down the house every time was Chicago.
These guys were all pro musicians.
The Best!
This was when America could reach the moon.
BS&T along with Chicago and Chase have outstanding power music combined with rock and roll pop and jazz
Check out Flock first album too.
I'm 53 as of 2/25. My mom had this on original 45 venal record when I was a kid, used to listen to it all the time. Still love it. Still listen. B.S.T. Always Rocked!
Timeless song paired with wonderful sound quality sounds like it was recorded yesterday
Much better than yesterday. Yesterday sounds like crap.
Yes. What happened to the sound quality? Today it's a mess!
