Early in 1967 in order to pay Al's way to England.
Keyboardist Al Kooper and drummer Bobby Colomby put
together an ensemble of classically trained jazz musicians
and combined their horns with the remains of The Blues
Project, including guitarist Steve Katz. After they
performed, Katz and Colomby convinced Kooper to stay in the
U.S.The result was a unique blend of rock and roll and
jazz, a throwback to the day of the big-band, and a nod to
the popular psychedelic rock of the mid to late 60's. This
union was Blood, Sweat, and Tears. The arrival of David
Clayton-Thomas brought success to the group and throughout
the years, BS&T sold over 35million albums, won several

------ About the song Spinning Wheel performed by Blood, Sweat & Tears
The song Spinning Wheels was realy written by Leola Rabb of Seattle Washington back in the early 60's- she had taken her kids to the park, where they rode the merry-go-round, on a painted pony and the spinning wheel. whe sat on a park bench watching them and writing the Lyrics back in that day songs were sold and rights given away-due to lack of knowledge. 250.00 for a song that yet makes $$$. Oh well live and learn.
Having worked in radio and clubs as and announcer and a musician This song still moves me everytime I listen to it by this group. Well done my friends. Your friend in Austin,Texas.

------ About the song Ride Captain Ride performed by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Upon doing a lil bit of looking , I noted that this tune was performed by Blues Image, having it released in 1970, and not B,S, and T, although they are a great group in their own right.
BS&T did it too | Reviewer: #

------ About artist/band Blood, Sweat & Tears
I was first exposed to BS&T when a (now ex) Brother-in-law left behind his vinyl copy of "Greatest Hits", which I promptly wore a needle through, listening to it so much.
Later, I discovered for myself the differences between the Al Kooper voiced offering "Child is Father to The Man", and everything after (except for the dismal "New Blood") which featured David Clayton Thomas.
You owe it to yourself to check out all the Band's albums (which sadly have passed from my possession)...even their ABC Paramount stuff.
BS&T...so much more than "Spinning Wheel". Listen to them on Vinyl today!
