I know Traffic purists dislike the BS&T version, but this one was the first I'd ever heard (back in the day), and it still is the way I hear it in my mind. Love David Clayton Thomas' pure vocal.

Fantastic, one of the greatest voices in rock music....

Cassidy played with them during this particular period but make no mistake. It was David Clayton Thomas & Fred Lipsius that arranged this song period. And when I saw them in 2004 frankly I like the original trumpet solo. They were awesome on this song, it literally broke out the goosebumps. Took me back a long way. They definately did Winwood and Capaldi (who co-wrote it) justice in 70' with their rendition.

40 000 HEADMEN skladba skupiny Blood Sweat and Tears pôvodne z albumu B S and T 3, ktorý bol v rebríčku Billboardu 41 týždňov od 18. júla 1970 z toho 11 v TOP 10 a dva týždne na vrchole od 8. augusta 1970, kedy sa striedal z albumami Woodstock a Cosmo´s Factory od skupiny Creedence Clearwater Revival..Od RIAA získal za predaj zlatú platňu. Autorom skladby skupiny Traffic boli Steve Winwood a Jim Capaldi, ktorý žiaľ v roku 2005 ako 60 ročný zomrel na rakovinu žalúdka.Pozoruhodné na tejto skladbe je to, že v aranžmá Fred Lipsius a Boby Colomby obohatili skladbu o variacie zo skladieb Belu Bartóka balada z maďarských ľudových piesni,z Lieutenant Kije Suite od Sergeja Prokofieva, I Mean You od Theloniousa Monka a Etude For Lew And Zoloff od Freda Lewisa. Záznam je z vystupenia na Jazz Festivele v Montreale v júli 2006. V skupine zo zostavy, ktorá v roku 1980 nahrala album NUCLEAR BLUES boli na podiu bývalý člen Rob McConnell and The Boss Brass Bruce Cassidy a Vernon Dorge alt soprán saxofon a flauta. Novú úpravu skladby uskutočnil Bruce Cassidy.
