I have been very depressed for the last 4 months. My father died 5 years ago on Dec 11 and my Mom had a heart attack on Dec 26 2004. I have severe depression at Christmas. Rob and Amber, you have both lifted my spirits with both of you and this song. I smiled and giggled all through this song. Thank you for lifting my spirits and making me smile today.

Fun fact: The man who discovered Lynyrd Skynyrd and produced their first three albums, Al Kooper, was one of the original members of Blood Sweat & Tears. He left the band just before they became famous after playing on their first album in 1968 titled, "Child is Father to the Man". He then became an A&R man with Columbia Records and continued doing session work playing piano on records for bands like the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and The Who. He moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 1972 and discovered Lynyrd Skynyrd when he saw them playing in a local club he frequented. He signed them to his own private record label, Sounds of the South, which he sold to MCA records and he produced their first 3 albums which included the huge hits "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free bird".

I met Al Kooper as a guest to his Brownstone home in Boston in 2005 or 2006. I was touring with a band called SHIMMER and Al had caught wind of them and was a fan of the trio. He was a very gracious host, had a spread of finger foods for us. His place was decorated - even the bathroom - with photos of many musicians from different decades. He took us down to his basement home studio and busted out the 2" tape original recording of Lynyrd Skynyrd in a dusty box. He said he "stole" it as compensation for getting screwed [out of royalties?] by the record company. Was a real treat to have had that unique experience.

But letting go of everything, your thoughts, your hopes, your loves, your hates---just stay calm and in the quiet of your brain experience how lovely just being alive truly can be. Avoid distraction. Ahhhhh. Take a deep breath.

David Clayton-Thomas. What a voice! Folk singer Judy Collins recommended DCT to Blood, Sweat and Tears after Al Kooper left. They went on two have three number two hits and charted another 7 on Billboard. BST did not last very long as a hitmaker, but they burned so very bright. They have had several reformations but never quite captured the magic with new material after 1975.

I pointed and alerted my cousin that he was trying to smoke a whole cigarette before going back in stage.

When you talk about how the different instruments get together, you're talking about the arrangement of the song, & highlighting the great importance of a talented arranger, who figures it all out & writes the 'charts' for every instrument. (Nelson Riddle is the arranger behind many of Frank Sinatra's greatest songs!!) Anyway, Spinning Wheel was nominated for three Grammy Awards at the 1970 ceremony, winning in the category Best Instrumental Arrangement for the arranger of this song, the band's saxophonist, Fred Lipsius. It was nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. The album it's on, Blood, Sweat, & Tears, released May 1969, won the Grammy for Album of the Year. God Bless The Child is one of my favorites of BS&T songs. You Make Me So Very Happy is another great one, & their biggest hit!! All good music with BS&T!!!

What a rabbit hole! You can't go wrong with these guys! They had the best horn section and vocals of any jazz rock band. And, overall the tightest and most creative. Songs like Hi De Ho, God bless the child, Lucretia MacEvil, really bring out the jazz and soul sides. 'Sometimes in Winter' has a softer, more ballad-like texture, with another singer, aside from David Clayton Thomas, (Steve Katz) doing a great job, and his subdued vocal talents.

That little song being played at the end is an old German folk tune called "Ach Du Lieber Augustine" ("Oh You Darling Augustine"). It was the kind of simple song you'd hear on the calliope as you rode an old-fashioned carosel. If you ever get a chance to see and hear an old steam-powered calliope, don't pass it up, especially if it's on a carosel.

My mother remembers this song. She's 70. Just mentioned it to her lol. I suggest their song "When I Die" (1970). This was nice.

Thanks Jay and Amber for bringing back to many wonderful memories from my life in the 70s - going out to clubs and listening to all these wonderful songs! They were the best of times back then.

30 Years ago my Wife and I went to Philadelphia Park in Bensalem Pa. to play the Horses, outside they had Pennsylvania Fair and they had a Live Concert which turned out to be Blood Sweat and Tears. It was a great Surprise but I can say it was one of the best Shows I ever saw.

You might be interested to hear them do Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child" from that same album. But if you haven't heard "You've Made Me So Very Happy", their first hit, then that should be the next one from them.

Philip Bailey from "Blood, Sweat and Tears" and Phil Collins sing a duet called "Easy Lover". We used to play "Spinning Wheel" in my high school jazz band.

That "painted pony" is refering to the horses on a merry-go-round... the spinning wheel. But it is a metaphor for a bigger thing. This was on the radio non-stop back when it came out. It played on the rock stations and on the Mom and Dad easy listening stations. Everyone liked this.

Great song. Try to catch a live version, because it’s so fun to see this live.

These guys came out the same time as Chicago, and they both were Bands with Big Horn sections, so there was a huge rivalry for a while, until Chicago just passed them by. Blood Sweat and Tears was a really talented group, maybe more talented than Chicago. They had about a 5-year run of some really big hit songs, "Spinning Wheel" being their first hit song that started it all for them.

One of my fav groups in high school. Excellent!! One of the best horn sections. David Clayton Thomas, one of the best voices ever.

So happy you checked this song out. I am a regular follower RSR and I knew you would be "so very happy" after hearing the song. Next summer, be sure to ride a "painted pony" at your local state fair. 🎺🎺🎺🎷🎺😎

BS&T. Originated by Al Kooper (check out their first album) THIS album made HORN rock bands the biggest thing ever. Thanks for playing this one, kids.

The lead singer for this is David-Clayton Thomas he also did many songs with them. He is an amazing talent. This group and many others from the era were/are great to grow up with.

FINALLY!!! I gave up begging you to do this song, I knew you would both love it for exactly the reasons you talked about, from the early cowbell to the obvious; the horns! I must admit I wasn’t expecting stankface from Amber when she heard the brass!

our music teacher Mr. Jones taught us to play this on the recorder in the 80's. He was a total burnout, this song is a real vibe.

That melody with the flute-ish sound toward the end that sounded Robin Hood-ish to y'all, that's a melody used in an old originally 19th-century nursery rhyme called "Have You Ever Seen a Lassie?" that was still well known when this song was recorded in 1968. I guess people don't know that song anymore.

Talk about a band doing a complete 180 degree turn. The first incarnation of this band under Al Kooper had a decidedly bluesy feel and I really loved their first album. However, it took me all of 2 minutes to change my mind when this version of BS&T with incredibly talented Canadian vocalist David Clayton-Thomas debuted on their second album. They went off in an entirely new direction with the big band and jazzy sound that defined their music for years to come. I love this song and the entire album for that matter. What a set of pipes David Clayton-Thomas had, so much soul!
