Update: Congrats to Al on his upcoming induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Al says he will attend if his health allows it! I’m prayin he makes it!!!!!
this is awesome music back in the 70's i was 15 ,16 waw you did not need drugs to get high the music will do and if you didn't fell in love you'll never will this kind of music is immortal they don't make them like this anymore what a pity thanks to TH-cam
My favorite version of this great song. You can't beat the great BST horns plus Jimmy Vivinos outstanding guitar playing. The best I've ever heard from Al.
My wife said this album was really important to her growing up as a teen. She still has the album, Child is father to the man. She also loved I can't quit her. Great stuff.she obtained this l.p. at about 14.
Find yourself another one, you clearly did not make the right choice. Although we are 2 years past your comment, I hope you found the right one after all.❣️
Every version I have ever heard of this song has been outstanding, pure class, heartwrenching. There must be something about Al Kooper's brilliant songwriting here that inspires people into giving the performance of their lives.
Those were great days, my friend. We were on the magic carpet and these guys were the captain, co-captain, navigator, and the rest of the flight crew. We flew to amazing places. I still have the post cards!
Kooper is the real deal, and Soul of a Man has got to be one of the greatest live albums ever recorded. If you can get your hands on this classic double CD, get it!
I just listened to Amy Winehouse' version of this song, and I'm going to have to say "Well, son, back in my day, we knew what real music was". Yup, that's my age showing. I'm still saying Kooper is a great singer and musician.
Mrs Melissa ward here. . This album was everything to me as a young teen. Koopers,voice In child is father to the man was outstanding. Great album. .this live version is really something.
....Al , What a Run Of allstars ! This is no exception ! You are what makes Rock and Roll ! Unique and unconditional , in this old heads humble opinion
Aunque haya muchos que dicen que: "nunca tiempos pasados fueron mejores" en lo que tiene que ver con la música están equivocados. La música en esa época salía de los más profundo de los sentimientos y del alma. Las letras tenían sentido y hablaban de amor, hoy son pocos los cantantes que le dedican al amor sus atributos. Recuerdo y amo con todo mi corazón esa época, su música, sus tradiciones, pero sobre todo el respeto que existió.
Recuerdo esta canción en mis épocas juveniles cuando la ponían los domingos en la estación ROCK 101. Música con mucho poder pero sobretodo SENTIMIENTO, saludos.
Al Kooer.the real first lead singer and the very best. Child is father to the man lp. Amazing talent. Most people always say oh David Clayton Thomas. Well Al made this way before him,the original. Melissa Ward here
Que gran época cuando la música si reunía todos atributos como tal y esta canción sigue siendo una joya en la actualidad qué sentimiento tan profundo... 👌✌️🖐️🖐️
Con estas canciones y época pasé de chavalillo a hombre, me hice músico y conocí la buena música gracias a un gran amigo y compañero de trabajo mío, unos años mayor que yo y que disponía de toda la música de la época gracias a un discjockey de los de entonces, nada que ver con los Dj's de ahora. Aquello era música, lo de hoy en día...Mejor nos callamos.
Saw BST with Al Kooper do the whole first album "Child is Father to the man." I met Al and we talk about this album. I went to Berklee School of Music in Boston ( Drummer) and was a manager for ASCAP. Great Days, Great music, and great women back in the day. Some times "Old-School" is the best school. Can you dig it? I knew that you could-------
+Louis Stabler It never stops to amaze me how colour comes crawling in. Music is universal, has not one colour but is like a rainbow, there is no race nor political view involved, but available to everyone.
I had a black man in Google+ who told me white people can't sing the blues. That they tried stealing it from them. I believe there's a song called a white man can sing the blues, but can't remember by who..
Ok - granted I was only 14 on that Saturday in 1967, and definitely not on anything (my dad took us), but I could swear that we saw Al with the Blues Project - and then he introduced his new band - BS&T a couple of hours later. I can't say I heard this song, but I remember *someone* introducing a new band - and of all the folks there, only Al was on twice. It was a stripped down, hornless version - but it had to have been introduced as BS&T because my dad bought the album as soon as it was available. I have always loved Kooper's voice - As the Years go passing by was only surpassed for me by Gary.
Well, his voice is 100% better here than when he was drinking & drugging it up -- & chainsmoking his way thru insomniac nights-- in his quite productive youth. It was a surprise. Miss Michael Brecker blowing the sax solo. RIP.
Fantastic live version, expected no less from Mr Kooper! This was a staple on KSHE radio in St. Louis back in the late 60s and early 70s. A classic. NMB
Al Kooper was the original singer of Blood Sweat & Tears before they got really big. He was thrown out and Canadian David Clayton Thomas replaced him then BS&T got really big.
Blood Sweat and tears i loved that album. Al also wrote "This Diamond Ring" for Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Super session was so ahead of it's time. Such great musicians on one album.
Great version of the original song from the first BS and T album. It reminds me of how much better Kooper's BS and T was than the commercial sell-out they became after they booted Kooper out.
This cut is from the 2-CD set 'Soul of a Man' (recored at NYC's Bottom Line). Kooper uses 3 basic line-ups - The Blues Project, Child is Father to the Man and the Rekooperators. On this track it's the Child... line-up, with Jimmy Vivino (gtr.), Will Lee (bs.), Anton Fig (drums), horns by Randy Brecker, Fred Lipsius, Tom 'Bones' Malone and Lew Solof. 'Texas' Jim Fiedler (original BS&T) guests on bass. Vivino, Lipsius and Kooper (organ) do the solos. Overall it's a great set of great tunes.
So I have a playlist called 'Stand the hairs up' meaning on the back of my neck and on my arms. But this version is the only song that stood the hairs up on my chest from my belly button to my neck. Wicked guitar playing starting at 6:12. Hairs started going up at 6:34
Greatest love song in history. Al's got so much soul.
Freddy Lipsius
Update: Congrats to Al on his upcoming induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Al says he will attend if his health allows it! I’m prayin he makes it!!!!!
this is awesome music back in the 70's i was 15 ,16 waw you did not need drugs to get high the music will do and if you didn't fell in love you'll never will
this kind of music is immortal they don't make them like this anymore what a pity
thanks to TH-cam
My favorite version of this great song. You can't beat the great BST horns plus Jimmy Vivinos outstanding guitar playing. The best I've ever heard from Al.
Blood Sweat & Tears!!!!!! 1968 year. The Greatest song.
My wife said this album was really important to her growing up as a teen. She still has the album, Child is father to the man. She also loved I can't quit her. Great stuff.she obtained this l.p. at about 14.
Been here a dozens of times to hear Al sing his classic. Superb!
One of the greatest songs EVER.
Yes it is
From the ONLY good BST album. This knocked my socks straight off back when I first heard it.
I could listen to him all day, everyday. The passion, the growl, the voice....no one like him.
Yeah he was a great musician his songs inspires me so much
How many times can one like this song?
Every time I hear it played.
I thought the answer to your question was going to be "More than you'll ever know"😉
@@RubyBandUSA How could I have missed that?
That's a perfect reply!@@RubyBandUSA
never fall in love with a person who doesn't love this song
word
Yeah,that would be terrible mistake
Find yourself another one, you clearly did not make the right choice. Although we are 2 years past your comment, I hope you found the right one after all.❣️
@April Riddle q
Luckily, I did fall in love with someone who loves this song as much as I do - we've been together for 53 years and counting . . . . .
Al at his best....you'll never find a better version of this....I've been a fan of this man since the 60's
Beautiful. Thanks
Every version I have ever heard of this song has been outstanding, pure class, heartwrenching. There must be something about Al Kooper's brilliant songwriting here that inspires people into giving the performance of their lives.
One of my all time favorite songs EVER! Love Al Kooper!!!
He’s a great musician his songs inspires me so much
A Classic, 26 years after the original...with Koop's vocals soulful.
Those were great days, my friend. We were on the magic carpet and these guys were the captain, co-captain, navigator, and the rest of the flight crew. We flew to amazing places. I still have the post cards!
Kooper is the real deal, and Soul of a Man has got to be one of the greatest live albums ever recorded. If you can get your hands on this classic double CD, get it!
The Child is Father to the Man is one of the Greatest Albums Evahh it was Al's signature album with His Original lineup of BS&T
+Ron Harper AMEN to that !!
Wore my vinyl album out!!!!!
My favorite album of all time.
A brilliant piece of music from one of - maybe THE- greatest albums of all time. I do love it so.
you can see the blood touch the sweat and feel the tears in this gem of a song al kooper is a true rock legend
that was very well said George
I just listened to Amy Winehouse' version of this song, and I'm going to have to say "Well, son, back in my day, we knew what real music was". Yup, that's my age showing. I'm still saying Kooper is a great singer and musician.
His songs inspires me so much my dad use to repeat his songs when I was a kid
Great song by a great Artist!
He’s a great singer his songs inspires me so much
Mrs Melissa ward here. . This album was everything to me as a young teen. Koopers,voice In child is father to the man was outstanding. Great album. .this live version is really something.
This is the best live and the best version of this song.
No other singer can soul this one, except Al itself
Donny Hathaway's live version is smooth and powerful, I honestly think he did better vocally but I love Al's arrangement on this live version.
Al Kooper is amazing...always was and always will be...super talented!
For sure he’s a great singer
who thumbs down such a great song!!!! This was one of my late 60's faves as a teen.....
A SONG THAT STAYS WITH ME FOREVER
Una monstruosidad de canción...y de interpretación! Dios!!!!
The only bs and t album we ever bought when we were young. Loved all of this album, and Al Kooper was the best of bs and t.
The real history of the real music, forever and ever.
Undoubtedly one of the best kooper I am not of the time but it fascinates me... and long live love in Woow 2020 ❤💘❤💘❤💘🤘
....Al , What a Run Of allstars ! This is no exception ! You are what makes Rock and Roll ! Unique and unconditional , in this old heads humble opinion

Classic but under rated song of my times, a baby boomer
It's always an education to go back and hear the composers own vision of his own great song
Blood Sweat and
Tears Al Cooper Rocker extreme
,
Ohh! Wow! Pure Gold!😄
One of a kind
Al Kooer.the real first lead singer and the very best. Child is father to the man lp. Amazing talent. Most people always say oh David Clayton Thomas. Well Al made this way before him,the original. Melissa Ward here
This song is dedicated to my one and only love, my wife, I love you, more than you'll ever know..
Have you ever heard "My One and Only Love" ? Johnny Hartman version
Que gran época cuando la música si reunía todos atributos como tal y esta canción sigue siendo una joya en la actualidad qué sentimiento tan profundo... 👌✌️🖐️🖐️
I've been following this man since the 60's.....Al's the man....The B3 King....

recuerdo cuando pololiaba con Claudia .
y este tema de Al Kooper .se lo dedicaba a ella.
que tiempos aquellos .
Well, his voice is 100% better here than when he was drinking & drugging it up -- & chainsmoking his way thru insomniac nights-- in his quite productive youth. It was a surprise. Miss Michael Brecker blowing the sax solo. RIP.
Fantastic!

Gran Tema, siempre lo coloco y en compañía de mi padre, disfrutamos de el. Sin lugar a dudas de lo mejor que hay.

This is a great recording of the song - have never heard it live - always loved it from the first BS&T album - Kooper is just amazing.
Excelente canción de al Looper bonitos recuerdo en BArquisimeto edo.lara venezuela
David Holiday i saw them live. This is the song. Al Cooper didn't get his props. Thrown out of his band. He was THE band
Al Kooper was the original singer of Blood Sweat & Tears before they got really big. He was thrown out and Canadian David Clayton Thomas replaced him then BS&T got really big.
@@taragreenetarotastro yes, and the first album is magnificent
@@taragreenetarotastro He was not just the vocalist, he was the founder of the band.
I remember sitting at the Filmore West listening to Cooper and Bloomfield....there was so much weed being smoked in that room....great music
Streetrodder53 I am so jealous .. Those two in LOOKING FOR A HOME are brilliant
Al Kooper,
You are the Super !!
lee chun chi ...sooper kooper
This has always been one of my favorite songs. So honest. Great version too.

Blood Sweat and tears i loved that album. Al also wrote "This Diamond Ring" for Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Super session was so ahead of it's time. Such great musicians on one album.
DESDE QUE LA ESCUCHE HACE COMO 40 AÑOS ATRAS, ES UNA DE MIS FAVORITAS DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS
Great version of the original song from the first BS and T album. It reminds me of how much better Kooper's BS and T was than the commercial sell-out they became after they booted Kooper out.
Great Al
Professor Al Kooper
Lets all read his book called Backstage Passes...written over 20 years ago...some good stories concerning the Rock business, and his role in it!
This cut is from the 2-CD set 'Soul of a Man' (recored at NYC's Bottom Line). Kooper uses 3 basic line-ups - The Blues Project, Child is Father to the Man and the Rekooperators.

'Texas' Jim Fiedler (original BS&T) guests on bass. Vivino, Lipsius and Kooper (organ) do the solos. Overall it's a great set of great tunes.
My favourite version of this song! Its faster and more intense
Thank you a zillion times over- I've just been slayed OMG
Hi Catty
So I have a playlist called 'Stand the hairs up' meaning on the back of my neck and on my arms. But this version is the only song that stood the hairs up on my chest from my belly button to my neck.
Wicked guitar playing starting at 6:12. Hairs started going up at 6:34
excelente cancion te amo mas de lo que te puedas imaginar
Qué canción que recuerdos más hermosos More than you ever know
Una joya musical...
La mejor musica de todo los tiempos.,.-.,-.,- sin huevona
Good grief! All these years of listening to Kooper's music, I thought I was listening to him singing. I guess every day's a school day.
una de las mejores canciones escritas, arreglos magnificos y por supuesto interpretacion soberbia.
mi piace molto il brano di al i love you more thayoull ever uaoo uaoo uaoo 1968
He’s a inspirational musician
