#GodBlessTheChild #BloodSweatAndTears #Reaction #SalvoG
We were so lucky to be exposed to such fine music at such a young age.
We really were. Blessed.
This album is one of the reasons I can’t get out of the 60/70’s when it comes to music. It was the best.
It’s pure joy to see these reactors find this music. And yes I’m so blessed to have witnessed much of it live. Still trying to see live music as much as possible. Got to work on the set list for my funeral! 😂
Original by Billy Holiday ( 1941) Reaction a must!
Great song! Blood, Sweat & Tears is a jazz-rock music group founded in 1967. They are noted for their combination of brass & rock band instrumentation. Especially love their stuff when David Clayton-Thomas joined as their lead singer. They had a lot of great songs such as "Spinning Wheel", "You've Made Me So Very Happy", "And When I Die", "Hi-De-Ho" "Lucretia MacEvil", "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know", "Go Down Gamblin'", "Lisa Listen To Me" etc.
Yes, you really need to do more.. and I really want to suggest "Spinning Wheel", "You've Made Me So Very Happy", "And When I Die".. they are amazing songs!

The used a fucking Tuba shaka kann !!!!!
My grandmother ordered that album from her Columbia Record Club. I still have it. This album was one I played over and over. ❤️🔥💞🛡⚔️👑🕊🙏✨💖💫

💙
Yes, I bought that album too! Imagine, 1 penny for 11 albums, it was too good to be true! I still have the albums!
Real people playing real instruments, singing without computers-true musicians playing real music.
This is my FAVORITE ALBUM OF ALL TIME. Again, one I have owned in all formats starting with vinyl, then 8-track, cassette, CD, and MP3.
Every song is a winner and burned into my brain.
“I can say there ain’t no heaven but I will prey there ain’t no hell”
My long-time favorite album since I first heard it as a 10-11-year old kid. As Mike McCabe said a few weeks back, we were lucky to be exposed to this great music at a young age.
David Clayton Thomas era, you'll know as soon as you hear his voice. This is a great band. "And When I Die" is a great Laura Nyro song that they covered.
Thanks Bob for the request. Wonderful voice. Thanks Sal for taking us back to 1968 for this one.
David Clayton Thomas was one of the finest voices of that era and B,S & T songs always hit you with that jazz punch while flying with the R&B influence. You have to hear Spinning Wheel or And When I Die, or You’ve Made Me So Very Happy. Any one of them will blow you away
Agree 100%.
I had forgotten just how amazing this song is. It's a masterpiece arrangement. Just what I needed.
"God Bless The Child" is a cover song from Billie Holiday the great legendary Jazz singer/songwriter.
This is one talented band!
Wow! Been a minute or two since I've heard Blood, Swear and Tears, much less this epic song!!! Thank you for reacting to this!!! Damn, I miss my teenage music so much!!
Ditto!
Original by Billy Holiday ( 1941) Reaction a must!
He is the best singer of the group.
David Clayton Thomas was a heck of a singer.
Perfectly crafted song, beginning to end. Excellent reaction / review!
I will soon be 77 and first heard this album while a senior at Illinois State university in 1968, . I reacted the same way as you when I first heard this song. in 68. superb arrangement, so well tied together and so will done...the brass section was such a blessing to my ears being a horn player. I learned to read music. play coronet, trumpet and baritone at age 11. This song present's a superb arrangement and musical artistry skills while covering the musical forms of jazz, pop, rock and rhythm and blues, Vocals by David Clayton Thomas are superb and add a fine fabric of texture that holds it all together. This never grows old...as ordered sound enters the soul and elevates the consciousness of man. "God Bless the child that's got his own" ....db
Spinning Wheels 🎡
Blood Sweat & Tears is one of my all-time favorite Rock bands. This song, "God Blessed The Child, " is the song I requested you reacting to. Thank you for reacting to it. It's one of their Masterpiece songs. This group along with Chicago is one of the pioneers of Jazz/Rock/Soul music. Then came Steely Dan. Earth Wind and Fire. Kool & The Gang.....and the host of others. Great reactions 😊😊😊😊
Nobody can belt it out like DCT! I saw them live, in Hawaii, in the 70s, and they rocked! I especially liked Lew Soloff's trumpet solos. He was the best trumpet player in rock, still to this day, even though he passed away several years ago. RIP Lew! I was playing trumpet in my high school jazz band back then. They had the best horn section of any jazz rock band, such a tight group, and that's saying a lot when you think of Tower of Power, Chicago, EW&F (jazz soul), and many others. They only had a handful of albums, but many cool songs. Try a mellow one by them, with Steve Katz on vocals, (Sometimes in Winter). And 'Go Down Gamblin'.
Another song is "Lucretia McEvil" and "More and More" are really masterpieces!!! Check these songs out too. They are Bangers!!!
This is an Epic tune - another great album/band mom had in her collection. Special listening!
I love his voice. My older brothers listened to Blood, Sweat & Tears so I pretty much grew up on their music. 'And When I Die' and 'You Make Me So Very Happy' are great songs.
I grew up with this band. So glad you got to hear them. Next you need to listen to "And when I die". I think it is their best song.
“You Made Me So Very Happy”, please.
Great trumpet solo by the late, great Lew Soloff.
In concert when they started the Salsa music ALL the WOMEN & more were Up Dancing in the aisle's. It was a sight to Behold! Thanks for Sharing❤. I Adored this band. They had it all. P.S. I got up & Shook My Booty too. Another Great from them is Hi-de-Ho.
Amazing thank you for this ! I enjoy you getting a backstory before each video, I learn things I never knew . I played this album so often when my kids were young that my 43yr old son said this song was part of his moral being . On the same album there is a song called "And when I die " (you would love that song ) he asked me at 4yrs old who was going to replace him when he s gone. We had a great and heartfelt conversation about it .
You owe it to yourself to check out more by BS&T, in particular "You've Made Me So Very Happy", "And When I Die", and "Spinning Wheel"!
It's fun watching people listen to songs that I've been listening to since 1968 and watching their reactions!
Loved BS&T! Saw them in concert several times. Never disappoints! Some of their best are: "When I Die", "Spinning Wheel", and "You Make So Very Happy" Enjoy!💕
Its one of the most genius arrangements you'll ever hear...
First album, with I’ll Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know, before DC Thomas, was fantastic, too. Don’t overlook it!
LOVE BS&T!!! Love the brass and David Clayton-Thomas is a great vocalist.
I was in junior high when this band appeared. This is my all time favorite band, and one of the main reasons i became a pro musician. Very few groups reached this level of musical diversity while remaining hugely popular.
Great song! Great band! RIP trumpet player Lew Soloff!
Thanks Bob for a GREAT request. My all time favorite song on my all time favorite album.
This album you are listening to is a great album and should be played from start to finish; that is why the "Variations on a Theme " were added. as a transition. One song off this album that I enjoy is "Sometimes in Winter" .
Oh there gonna open it up alright! You just opened up the box! Nice one.
An unforgettable tune along with many more.
Love (LOVE!) this band. Clayton-Thomas has a pretty cool back story. He's a Canadian Legend in the industry. "Spinning Wheel" is a must. I would also suggest a Canadian party band with a big horn section: Lighthouse - "Sunny Days"
This was a great time for diversity in music. Around this time, we had artists like Santana, Carole King, Chicago, Hendrix, The Doors, all kinds of genres; sometimes all in one song, like this one. Blood Sweat and Tears and Chicago were the first bands to incorporate horn sections with rock. The first BS&T album, Child Is Father To The Man, had Al Kooper as lead vocal and was more jazz/blues based. It's an absolutely incredible album as well. The David Clayton Thomas vocals came on the second album, which gave the band radio airplay and the Grammy. Both albums are amazing, just a bit different in their own unique way. From the first album check out I Can't Quit Her and I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know. From the second album try And When I Die and Spinning Wheel. BS&T are classic!
Good explanation and description of the distinction between the 2 styles!
Thanks!@@joelliebler5690
Great song and an awesome band, love this song
One of my favorite songs. It was written and first recorded by Billie Holiday.
This is the second album from B.S,&T. The premiere album had Al Kooper singing lead and playing keyboards, for which he was already famous, ( check his bio.),on most of the cuts. The band was formed by Kooper, and Steve Katz, both former members of the groundbreaking blues rock group, The Blues Project, (another group you should check out. Especially their album "Live at the Cafe Au Go Go.
We love that you research the songs. No apologies
Spectacular version of this song with Chuck Negron formerly of Three Dog Night taking the lead vocals
David Clayton-Thomas Era was when David was the lead singer he was the signature voice...when they were popular. His voice made Blood Sweat and Tears. Their albums were No.1 on the Billboard album chart for a lot of weeks. So, when he left the group got other lead singers...were that popular.
David Clayton Thomas is one of the best voices!
An amazing album start to finish. Top notch arrangements and musicianship. Believe it or not I haved loved this album since I was 10 years old, some 53 years ago! This helped shaped my appreciation for real music opening my eyes to all styles. Thanks for your enthusiastic approach, you always bring smiles with your reactions.
"Go Down Gambling" is a Blood Sweat & Tears track that I play often on vinyl 45.
I beleive Clayton-Thomas was the best vocalist they ever had. You should explore some of the founder's (Al Kooper) other work in particular his colaborations with Mike Bloomfield. Start with "Super Session' which has Stephen Stills on the guitar.
I'm an old drummer and playing along with this CD makes me smile. I only play with the best. Thanks for the reaction. Stay safe.
Original by Billy Holiday ( 1941)
Reaction a must!
"You've Made Me So Very Happy" makes me happy!
❤ YAY! BST! Thanks to who recommended this!
This is a perfect song! Arrangement-stellar! Musicianship-Stellar as well! Execution ,relatable, leaves the listener wanting more, ALL stellar! The lead trumpet, Lew Soloff died recently, what a loss!
They are exceptional!
That was extremely nice!
Great reaction. Great song from great band. Unique sound. . I definitely recommend more songs from them.
My older sister had this album when I was little. I remember playing it over and over. This was a favorite. She recently passed away and I'm glad for this reminder this evening!
Before listening to your reaction i just wanna say youre gonna be blown away..
It’s all about his voice. No one has a voice like his
It would be good to hear Billies' original recording.
And the tears flow…Thanks so much❣️🙏❤️🔥
My mom's favorite singer! Therefore, heard them from the beginning of my memory...
Thank you so much for this. I still have and listen to their albums.✌️
Many years ago, I was in Lee Park in Dallas and heard somebody playing a trumpet. Then a few more instruments joined in. I thought man they sound good! It turned out to be BS&T jamming on a Sunday afternoon after they had played a concert the night before.
I really loved these guys back then.
I still have this vinyl after all these decades. Saw David on the Tom Jones show some 50 years ago, he was a helluva singer.
Blood Sweat & Tears is one of my all-time Bands in music history. Love them!!! React to "Spinning Wheel" which is taking a regular Amusement Park Spinning Wheel with it's bouncing horses which people rode at the time with that Circus music in the background playing and putting it on a record.....it's a trip of laughter and fun!!! I Love it!!! Very very talented musicians!!! formed in 1967 in New York. This band influenced ..bands like Chicago....Tower of Power.....Earthh Wind & Fire....one of the underrated bands in music history yet one of the most popular band among the people of the 60's and early 70's. Good reactions from you!!! React to the entire album!!! It's a Masterpiece!!! Fire!!!!
Love BST!!! Loved your reaction! Well done young man! Howdy from Texas 🤠🤠
They played at Woodstock in 69, going on stage about 1:30 am on Monday morning.
David Clayton-Thomas era - the why: THAT VOICE!
I bought this album when it came out, it must have been right around 1970. Just fantastic music, and this was my favorite song on it! Thanks so much, Salvo!
David Thomas IS the BST no doubt about it. His vocals are unmatched.
The Thomas era was when the hits happened, as well as the Grammys, mainly 1969 through the early 1970s.
Now you just *MUST* react to the whole album! One regret...never got to see them live.
Just discovered your channel here. You're doing some things that others aren't doing and some of my favorite music. I'm impressed that you bring up information about the band and song. Very cool. David Clayton Thomas was a force of his own with a beautiful baritone that seemed suited to jazz and blues. Still among my favorite bands, including the earlier stuff that Al Kooper sang. Wonderful, thanks.
God bless is great but they are great
If you like Chicago, you will probably like BS&T. Their tunes inspired many an American marching band! For good reason they were very popular. (I own this album)
Saw BST in concert - Toronto 1969 & they were amazing! I would suggest that you delve into BST before David C-T....with Al Kooper. A good one is "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know".
Love the research!!!
Pretty much wore that album out on my little Swingline stereo in the college dorm. So good.
This is my favorite song from them by far. They are very similar to early Chicago due to horns.
My favorite song by them is "and when I die". Lots of harmonica in it.
I bought this album when it first came out just for this song. I have given all of my vinyl collection to my son.
The first time I heard Blood Sweat & Tears I was in second grade and my hot teacher Mrs. Sam was getting down & dancing to it. Spinning Wheel I think it was. You gotta do the other songs you mentioned. All good.
"Go Down Gamblin"" is a BS&T classic simply because it has a TUBA solo.
My favorite song of BS&W! Lucretia was my second best 👌. David Clayton Thomas was/IS the "man". The band's instrumentals are incredible!❤❤
I believe the short run time you saw, under three minutes, was for the radio play version of the song. What you heard was the album track. The radio version likely excluded the extended instrumental section before the last chorus. Back in the 1960s, AM radio stations that played rock and roll would rarely play anything longer than three minutes.
Still have this album when it came out.
Ah, a tune back from when there were less lines between genres ( or at least they were blurred). Spinning Wheel or When I Die should be next from this amazing band.
Oh man, I forgot how much I LOVE THIS BAND. David Clayton-Thomas (a fellow Canuck🇨🇦) is such an amazing vocalist. You just don’t get much jazz in today’s music - I miss it so much. Please more of BS&T!
They are more jazz than rock. They have great chops with the best group from 1968-1975. Their fourth album BST 4 is my personnel favorite.
Man, I didn't expect to cry today then I watched your reaction! I forgot how much my father loved this song too. Keep up the BST reactions ❤
BTW I went to their concert in the 70s
LOVE Blood, Sweat and Tears!❤❤❤❤ please give Lucretia MacEvil a listen.
Dang, that tastes good!
I believe they had the same manager as the band Chicago.
David Clayton Thomas has a distinctive voice you can his "era" of lead singer
