Here's the second record of a two disk set that spent as much time among my own records as it did my dad's. There was a point where neither one of us remembered whose collection it actually belonged in. Like I've said in the past, my dad and I had similar taste in music. The featured artist is just as much among my favorites as he was my dad's. I still remember sitting in the Richfield Coliseum awestruck at what I was witnessing him do on the stage. And I witnessed that performance with my dad and my mom. When we get done with this episode you'll know why they called him Mr. Show Business. So get ready to hear music written over the course of four decades and then rearranged for one of the best overall stage entertainers the world ever saw in Volume 177: Sammy Record 2. More information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it. Promised link to a story on Sammy's conversion to Judaism. Promised link to research used in above story. Credits and copyrights Sammy Davis, Jr. – Sammy Label: Sessions (2) – ARI-1001 Format: 2 x Vinyl, LP, Compilation Released: 1976 Genre: Jazz, Pop Style: Vocal, Swing We'll hear 7 of the 13 songs from record 2. Chicago (Toddling Town) written by Fred Fisher and published in 1922. Sammy recorded it live several times. Go right into next song Birth Of The Blues composed in 1926 by Ray Henderson, with lyrics by Buddy DeSylva and Lew Brown It was a song he recorded in 1955 for the album Starring Sammy Davis Jr. You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You written by Russ Morgan, Larry Stock, and James Cavanaugh and published in 1944. He recorded a studio version of that with Count Basie for the 1965 album Our Shining Hour The Impossible Dream composed by Mitch Leigh, with lyrics written by Joe Darion. Sammy recorded a version for the 1969 album The Goin' Great. Exodus composed by Ernest Gold. This track was recorded sometime around 1972, and was never released on any of his official "albums", however it was also released in 1975 on this K-Tel LP entitled "The Sounds Of Sammy Davis Jr." I've Gotta Be Me composed and written by Walter Marks in 1967 Sammy Davis Jr. recorded the song in 1968, as the title track of Davis' 1968 Reprise album. Spinning Wheel Written by David Clayton-Thomas of Blood, Sweat & Tears in 1968. This was taken from his 1970 LP Something for Everyone. I do not own the rights to this music.

Rehearsal is always important, of course, but sometimes leaving a song alone for a while also has interesting effects.For instance, it's been probably a year or more since the Ray Charles classic “Hard Times (Who Knows Better Than I)” has made an appearance at a Flood rehearsal. It's a great tune, but for some reason it just didn't come to mind for while.However, the song hasn't been stagnating, as it turns out. When the tune finally did roll around again at last week's gathering, it had been percolating in everyone's memory. That was obvious, because all kind of exciting new ideas came out as the solos went around the room.About the SongAs reported earlier, in 1961 Atlanta Records commemorated Ray Charles's near-decade of dedication to that label with the release of an album called The Genius Sings The Blues. It was a welcome compilation of some of Brother Ray's earlier singles, plus some previously unreleased stuff, like this perfect Ray Charles composition.“Hard Times” had the distinction of being the A-side of the only single released to promote that album. It also is the standout number in the entire collection. The tune has gone on to be covered by everybody from David Clayton-Thomas to Eric Clapton. Here's The Flood's 2024 rendition of it. More?

The story behind the latest documentary from award-winning and Oscar nominated director John Sheinfeld, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS has to be seen to be believed. Blood, Sweat & Tears, known for hits such as “Spinning Wheel”, “You've Made Me So Very Happy”, and “And When I Die”, headlined the legendary Woodstock Festival and won multiple Grammy Awards, most notably 1970's win for Album of The Year, beating The Beatles' “Abbey Road” and “Johnny Cash Live at San Quentin.” This is the incredible never-before-told story about a top rock band that was unknowingly embroiled in a political rat's nest involving the U.S. State Department, the Nixon White House and a controversial concert tour of Yugoslavia, Romania and Poland, countries that were behind what was then known as the Iron Curtain. As a result, they found themselves in the crosshairs of a polarized America -as divided then as it is now – and became an early victim of cancel culture. Written, produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker John Scheinfeld (The U.S. vs. John Lennon, Chasing Trane, Who Is Harry Nilsson?, Herb Alpert Is...), and executive produced by James Sears Bryant, the film was created with the full cooperation of Blood, Sweat & Tears. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS features never-before-seen film and photos of the band, as well as present day interviews with five of the nine band members including distinctive lead singer David Clayton-Thomas, sax player and musical arranger Fred Lipsius, innovative bass player Jim Fielder, outspoken guitarist Steve Katz and drummer and band leader Bobby Colomby.

Jazz-rock band Blood, Sweat & Tears waited until their second studio album to eponymously name it Blood, Sweat & Tears. This band would defy convention in many ways. It was a large band, boasting nine full-time members, and adding a tenth in trumpet player Alan Rubin for one song. They also played a complex mix of progressive music that would come to be called "jazz-rock." This album would be the first with David Clayton-Thomas on lead vocals, and would spend seven weeks at the top of the album charts. It would also be a critical success, netting the band a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1970.Al Kooper, the original band leader and rock legend, started the group. The sound was inspired by the sound of the Buckinghams and Maynard Ferguson. Kooper left after the second album, and David Clayton-Thomas came in as front man. There were over 100 members in Blood, Sweat & Tears over the years, including Bo Bice of "American Idol" fame. The group name came from a Winston Churchill speech.Blood, Sweat & Tears was the number 1 album at the time that the Woodstock music festival was held in August of 1969, and at $15,000 they were the highest paid band to appear at Woodstock behind Jimi Hendrix. For some reason, they decided not to get filmed for the gig, and as a result they are not seen in all the documentaries and retrospectives on that historic concert. It is almost as if Blood, Sweat & Tears were erased from history. On top of that, they didn't get their $15,000 at the end of the concert either!A couple of other factors cause Blood, Sweat & Tears to be overlooked. Their songs tend to be longer during a time when singles were no longer than 3 minutes for radio. They also toured eastern Europe in 1972 to show off rock and roll music, sponsored by the U.S. State Department. The counter culture considered this a sell out, and many of their Vietnam-era protest fans abandoned Blood, Sweat & Tears because of it.Get ready to ride a painted pony and let the spinnin' wheel spin! Smiling PhasesThis very jazzy track is a cover of a song originally done by Steve Winwood and Traffic. The idea is of the song is that you put a smile on no matter what life throws at you. Keep on smiling and moving forward - don't let the obstacles get you down.You've Made Me So Very HappyThis well known track peaked at number 2, and is a cover of a Motown song done originally by Brenda Holloway in 1967. They tried to do this song with Al Kooper on their first album, but Kooper's voice wasn't well-adapted to it. They tried it at a live show with David Clayton-Thomas, and it worked.And When I DieAnother cover that peaked at number 2, this song was written by 17 year-old Laura Nyro and was originally performed by Peter, Paul & Mary. Blood, Sweat & Tears picked up this song when Nyro was dating the bass player. Their cover version went to number 2. It is about recognizing the limited time you have on this earth and making the most of it. That's pretty profound lyrics for a 17 year-old!Spinning WheelThe big single of the album was this well known hit, peaking at - you guessed it - number 2. It compares life to riding on a carousel. Things come and things go, "what goes up must come down." Enjoy the ride. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main Theme to the television series “Marcus Welby M.D.”Robert Young of "Father Knows Best" fame would star in this long-running series that would take on several controversies during its 7-year run. The pilot for the series aired in March of 1969. STAFF PICKS:Day after Day (It's Slippin' Away) by ShangoRob starts our staff picks with this calypso one-hit wonder. It is known as a novelty act about how the earthquakes in California will cause the whole coast to slide into the Pacific - "you better get ready to tie up the boat in Idaho!" Everyday People by Sly & The Family StoneBrian features a big hit from the fusion group Sly & The Family Stone. Everyone is essentially the same and we need to learn to live together. The group was known for combining musical styles and its members' ethnic diversity during a time of racial tensions. Time of the Season by The ZombiesBruce's staff pick was a surprise hit by the group led by keyboardist Rod Argent and vocalist Colin Blunstone. It took about a year to catch on before hitting number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1969. It has become sort of a counterculture anthem in pop culture, and is frequently used in Vietnam-era scenes and flashbacks.Rock Me by SteppenwolfWayne's staff pick is a deeper cut, though it hit the charts and peaked at number 10 at the time. Lead singer John Kay wrote this one. It has a deeper meaning as a kind of protest song. Canadian band Steppenwolf was nominated to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2017, though they didn't make it in. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Variations On a Theme by Erik Satie (1st Movement) by Blood, Sweat & TearsWe're once again double dipping on our featured album. Blood, Sweat & Tears had a number of instrumental pieces on their albums, and this one is the opening track.
Laura Nigro was a sixteen-year-old musical prodigy who was trying on several last names, as creative types sometimes do. She happened to be "Nyro" when she finally started to catch on in the music industry, so Laura Nyro she became. Nyro was never a huge star in her own right. But she left behind a musical legacy in a bunch of songs that became big hits for other artists. That's a roster that would include Three Dog Night, the Fifth Dimension, Barbra Streisand and Blood, Sweat and Tears. Nyro wrote "And When I Die." Peter, Paul & Mary made it kinda-sorta famous. But it was Blood, Sweat and Tears that really brought it to the fore. David Clayton Thomas' voice, combined with Dick Halligan's arrangements made for a relatively light-hearted romp through the graveyard. And while BST's version is musically different from Nyro's, they never lost sight of that gospel feel that it had, even as they gave it the cowboy instrumental section. In doing the research for this show, I went down a little bit of a rabbit hole of listening to Laura Nyro's music. I may have to do a whole bunch of shows dedicated to her sometime soon. Nyro is definitely an under-appreciated talent. Click here to become a patron of the show. Click here for a transcript of this episode.
Dee Dee Warwick - You’re No Good (1963) The original version that, to my ears, cuts the Ronstadt version in half. Clint Ballard also wrote "The Game of Love" for Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders. Look at that slugabed 2nd to the right. That's Eric Stewart of 10cc. Comb your hair, hippie. Doc Severinsen - Barbarella (1968) The theme to the soft-core romp featuring Jane Fonda. Check out the party scene for a frugging Spiro Agnew. Doc Severinsen was the comic foil and bandleader for Johnny Carson. With the funny suit jackets, etc. Doris (with Plums) - You Made a Fool of Me (1968) While this single is not from this album, it IS a bonus track if you can find this. I love her stuff. In fact, I confess to you right now that my song, "Epiphany", steals the first three chords of the verse. Those nutty Swedes. First, we steal ABBA. Then we steal this. Gary Crosby - I'm Gonna Call My Baby (1967) Son of the guy that sang "Hey Jude". James Iron Head Baker & Group - Black Betty (1933) A rendition of the slave song. Later, a hit for Ram Jam, who's singer was previously in The Lemon Pipers, who had a hit with "Green Tambourine." Johnny Buckett and his Cumberland River Boys - Hippie in a Blunder (1967-8) The anti-hippie sentiment of the late '60s was silly, tone-deaf (Bob Seger and Jan and Dean recorded anti-peacenik songs), and ultimately unnecessary since the peace movement itself would be bought, sold, repackaged, and neutered entirely just a couple of years later. Roxy Music - Manifesto (1979) I can't listen to Brian Ferry's vibrato for a very long time, but this song seems to be a good fit. Like a salesman. Redbone - Fais Do (1972) My confession. She will never see this post, but I used to dream about singing "Julie, Do Ya Love Me" to Julie Pawlowski (of Emporium Avenue) all the time. I still would. My god, I owned this on 8-track, a 2 tape set. I don't remember the TV commercial but there had to be one. "Magic Carpet Ride", "Fais Do", "Family Affair", so many songs. One after the other. Do you ever hear a song and snap into a place and time that hasn't entered your mind in decades? I got on the bus a few stops before her and would always sit in the middle of the two-space seat so that no one would take her spot. I think it worked once. Gladys Knight and the Pips - Come Together (1975) The Harvey Averne Dozen - The Word (1967) This is one of my favorite Beatle covers. Simple and funky. Sonny and Cher - It’s Gonna Rain (1965) No one talks about this b-side, the best thing I think Sonny or Cher ever did. His voice actually compliments the lyrics. There's a version where two different (and I mean different) lead vocal takes are played simultaneously. I don't think Sonny was that subversive, to be honest. Intentionally. Steve Clayton - (Girls Are Imitating) Twiggy (1967) Discogs: Vocalist and songwriter with a long and varied career. Released numerous singles in the late 1950s and early 1960s in various musical styles but never achieved a hit. I like Steve Clayton a real lot. This is very similar music to "Music To Watch Girls By" which was a hit at the time. He is like Mel Tormé true, but I can hear another music industry schlepper, Tony Bruno. If you are a vinyl junkie-type person and you marinate in the smoky studios of the '70s in your mind occasionally, do me a favor: Find a copy of his 1978 album Steve Not David. Does he mean David Clayton Thomas? I mean, by that time, no one cared about either one. The Beach Boys - Belles of Paris (1978) Horribly uncomfortable Mike Love emoting of some pretty awful lyrics, even by his standards. Bobby Byrd - I Know You Got Soul (1971) Bobby Lee Trammell - New Dance in France (1964) ANOTHER music orphan. He tried to be Jerry Lee Lewis, and he came THAT close, but the fates dictated otherwise. God, this episode of my show is sadder than usual. Listen for the fake audience and the attempt to glom onto Beatlemania. Unlike Tony Bruno and Steve Clayton, Trammell DOES have a Wikipedia page. Boffalongo - Dancing In The Moonlight (1970) The original version. The version that hit big was actually the third version. Adam West - Miranda (1966) The Free Design - Friends (Thank You All) (1971) Alex Harvey was the original punk. His singing career began in fucking 1958. It would be 17 YEARS before he sniffed the Top 40 in the UK, and people in the USA have never heard of him mostly. But those of us who have heard of SAHB are a universally smitten lot. This was a fantastic group that never took itself too seriously. This is a common thread in great bands. They recorded until 1978, but unlike other groups of the time, their last album, Rock Drill, was just as good as the ones they recorded at their peak of popularity. I present my favorite SAHB tracks. But I like many more. Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Hot City Symphony (1974) Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Give My Compliments To The Chef (1975) Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Shake That Thing (1975) Sensational Alex Harvey Band - The Dolphins (1979) Johnny Mathis - Love Is All (Theme from “Midnight Cowboy”) (1970) Lorne Greene - Bonanza! (1964) Andy Williams - Music To Watch Girls By (1967) ??? - ??? Rodd Keith - Let's Go Savage You And I (?) A song-poem. Leonard Nimoy - I Walk The Line (1970) Starland Vocal Band - Liberated Woman (1977) I mentioned this song on the Setlusting Bruce podcast. I called this my favorite (or was it least favorite) SVB song, because of my love for the chauvinistic sentiment masked as chivalry. Nino Tempo and April Stevens - Love Story (1972) #5 in the Netherlands! From Buffalo, NY!!! Eric Burdon & The Animals - Mama Told Me Not To Come (1967) Neil Sedaka - Dimbo Man (1972)
Join the Sly Dog as he sits down with Billy Sherwood to discuss his new band Arc Of Life! We also get into this new bands history, futuristic sounds, Siri, being Prog Rock Nerds, David Clayton Thomas, and much more! Tune in and turn it up!
Sixty years ago this October, Ray Charles released his last album for Atlantic Records called “The Genius Sings the Blues,” The album compiled a dozen tunes Brother Ray had recorded over an eight-year period at the Atlantic studios, showcasing piano blues, jazz and southern R&B. A standout cut on that remarkable album was the second tune on side 1 — “Hard Times (No One Knows Better Than I),” a tune that’s since been covered by everybody from David Clayton-Thomas to Eric Clapton. And last night, it was the first tune we tackled at the first rehearsal of the new year.
UNTIL I SMILE AT YOU: HOW ONE GIRL'S HEARTBREAK ELECTRIFIED FRANK SINATRA'S FAME! by Peter Jennings with contributions by Tom Sandler “Until I Smile At You” reveals for the first time the life of one of the most enduring musical talents in the 20th century: a young Canadian girl named Ruth Lowe, who wrote a song that dynamited Frank Sinatra's career into the stratosphere in 1940, “I’ll Never Smile Again.” The song charted on Billboard for an unheard of 12 weeks and has been recorded by more than 150 performers around the world. In fact, it’s still being recorded today (the book opens in studio as famed Blood, Sweat & Tears singer, David Clayton-Thomas, records his own unique version). Ruth Lowe has been called “One of the Architects of the American Ballad,” she is the recipient of a Grammy Award, her songs have been inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame and she’s about to be added to the Great American Songbook Foundation Hall of Fame. As Nancy Sinatra says in the book’s Foreword, "There’s a reason why 'I’ll Never Smile Again' has endured: it was a perfect song, interpreted by the perfect singer, at the perfect time.” The book reveals that Ruth Lowe was no one-hit-wonder: she went on to write Sinatra’s theme song, “Put Your Dreams Away” (the last song played at his funeral) plus 50 other tunes for Broadway and Hollywood. (“Until I Smile At You” reveals the humorous story of how she had to write Sinatra’s theme song in under 24 hours.) Amazingly, no one has been privy to Ruth Lowe’s life story until now. Peter Jennings, the book’s author (who has written six other books), was personally selected by her family to write “Until I Smile At You.” And there’s this to add to Ruth’s narrative: in today's era of women claiming their full rights, consider that she was one of the earliest liberated females who worked in a man's world (Tin Pan Alley) and never let her gender, or her attractive good looks, get in the way of her outstanding talent. One of the interesting features of “Until I Smile At You” is Peter Jennings’ interviews with such luminaries as Bernie Taupin (Elton John's lyricist for over 50 years), Sir Tim Rice (who writes lyrics for Andrew Lloyd Webber), Alan Bergman (who has written award-winning songs for Barbra Streisand, Sinatra, etc.), the late Frank Sinatra Jr., music historian Chuck Granata, Sinatra biographer, James Kaplan, and many others... all of whom cast a glow on Ruth’s talents. Also featured are stories from Ruth’s late sister Mickey Cohen, who regales the author with details about how Ruth, whom she adored, wrote “the song.” There is also an interview with noted businessman/philanthropist Seymour Schulich who worked with Ruth’s second husband, Nat Sandler. (It was MGM that wanted to make a movie of Ruth’s life back in the day, staring Judy Garland, but Nat nixed the deal because he didn’t want her clinging to the past.) With the world facing increased levels of stress and anxiety, this is an ideal time for a story like “Until I Smile At You” with its positive, feel-good story of resilience. Peter Jennings writes books from Fairview, his modern home overlooking Georgian Bay in Mundy's Harbour, Midland, Ontario, Canada. "Shark Assault: An Amazing Story of Survival" was published by Dundurn in November, 2015 (http://www.sharkassault.com). The book has received wide acclaim (re-printed less than one month after launch; Readers Digest publishing a 4,000 word excerpt in 15 languages around the world). His newest books, "Why Being Happy Matters" and "Behind The Seams" are now available on Amazon. Peter is also a singer of the Great American Songbook standards (http://www.pjentertainer.com).

Ep. 140: Leslie Mandoki, "Music is the greatest unifier.." Let's Talk Off The Podium with Tigran Arakelyan. In this episode rockstar Leslie Mandoki talks about his early years in Hungary, being a refugee in Germany and eventual rise to stardom. In 1991, Ian Anderson, Jack Bruce, and Al Di Meola became founding members of Leslie Mandoki’s band project ManDoki Soulmates, and for almost three decades, Leslie Mandoki has continued to unite a “who is who” of the icons of Anglo-American and European rock and jazz- rock in the Mandoki Soulmates band. The remarkable lineups in the band’s recordings and performances over the years has included singers and players including Ian Anderson, Jack Bruce, David Clayton-Thomas, Chaka Khan, Chris Thompson, Bobby Kimball and Steve Lukather, Nick van Eede, Eric Burdon, Nik Kershaw, Greg Lake, Al di Meola, Randy and Michael Brecker, Cory Henry, Bill Evans, John Helliwell, Till Brönner, Klaus Doldinger, Mike Stern, Richard Bona, Anthony Jackson, Victor Bailey, Pino Palladino, Tony Carey, Mark Hart, Paul Carrack, Peter Frampton, and Jon Lord. The Soulmates concerts are marked by the musical synergy of all these musical icons united in one supergroup of Grammy award winning legends, where everyone’s egos come second. Original Soulmates compositions and collective improvisations on highest levels are just as much part of the concerts as world-renowned hits of the individual Soulmates members. “One stage – one band!” With his Soulmates Leslie Mandoki raises Jazz-Rock back to socio-political relevance, to quote him in his own words: “Even in times of Twitter, social media and short news on the smartphone, when mental laziness often blocks the perception, music for us is still like a love letter to our audience – handwritten with ink on paper.” This band is pure sophisticated JazzRock, or as Greg Lake (Emerson, Lake & Palmer) put it: “One of the best bands you will ever hear!”

“#WeSayThankYou.” Leslie Mandoki is the Alan Parsons or Ringo Starr (both drummers) of Europe, having done tours with everybody including Ian Anderson, and also Jack Bruce, David Clayton Thomas, Supertramp's sax player, the Brecker brothers.Anne, 718-881-8183 Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson Joins Leslie Mandoki for #WeSayThankYou to Our First Responders“We all thank the brave, hardworking front-line medics and care workers around the world. Leslie managed to put into the lyrics’ references to the police, grocery clerks, supermarket workers too. I would like to add those essential worker folks who it was impossible to squeeze into a three-minute songTo all, we say, thank you.”--Ian Anderson on singing and playing flute on Leslie Mandoki’s “WeSayThankYou." Los Angeles, CA - As the world continues to be consumed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson sings and plays flute with Mandoki Soulmates mastermind and leader Leslie Mandoki. Mandoki has found inspiration and a new spark of hope amidst the chaos. He has penned a powerful new song in appreciation for the heroes who have emerged in this global crisis, the nurses, doctors, and other health care providers as well as the grocery store clerks and food delivery personnel who have stepped up to serve their communities. The new song, entitled simply “#WeSayThankYou,” expresses so clearly the feelings of gratitude many of us have felt in these troubled times.Mandoki explains, “As an artist, I feel it is my duty to contemplate ideas for a better world. Now, like so many of us, I suddenly have the time. Let us grab this uncommon moment of pause together and take a new approach to the problems of the world. And let’s take a hard look at who this crisis is casting in a heroic light, and who comes out the villain.” The duet is being released as an EP on Thursday, May 7, 2020, through the Purple Pyramid imprint of indie giant Cleopatra Records, Inc. and is Mandoki Soulmate’s first release in the recently inked partnership with the L.A.-based label. Additional Mandoki releases are set to follow later this year.

In 1967, the countries of Canada and America got together in New York City to form a bluesy, rocky, poppy, horn-filled wall of sound known as Blood, Sweat and Tears. Let’s take a deep dive into their history. Al Kooper formed the band in 1967 but left after their first album. David Clayton-Thomas, a Canadian-born singer, replaced him to become the now-famous voice of songs such as “Spinning Wheel" Kooper wrote a book profiling how the band’s name came to be, stating: "One particular night, Jimi Hendrix, B. B. King, myself, and an unidentified drummer and bass player were going at it all night at the Cafe Au Go Go... At daybreak, when we finished playing, they put the house lights on and somebody observed: 'Christ! Look at the organ! There's blood all over the keyboard!' Sure enough, I had cut my hand playing, and in the state of bliss induced by my compatriot's sound had not felt a thing. What a great album cover, I thought. No. What a great name for a band." The band also had their time on stage at Woodstock in ’69 but managed to never get paid their $15,000 rate. They also missed out on being part of the Woodstock movie When the band was first forming, their sought $40,000 in seed money for their first album’s expenses. Atlantic Records turned them down, as did Warner Brothers. But Bill Gallagher at Colombia Records saw something exciting in the band and agreed to sign them after checking out their performance at the Monterey Pop Festival Even though the band had more or less disbanded and lost membership after 1972, drummer Bobby Colomby sought ownership over the band’s name and kept it alive, installing various different lead singers for many years through 1975 through 2004.

Today on the show I have a chance to chat with David Clayton-Thomas. He is a singer, songwriter and musician who fronted Blood, Sweat and Tears in the late 60's, early 70's. We chat about his new album, Mobius, how technology is affecting artists and some tales from his experience at Woodstock. The coffee of the day is the peppermint mocha from Starbucks.

It takes a lot of Blood, Sweat and Tears to get to the top. David Clayton Thomas, lead singer of Blood, Sweat and Tears, stops by to chat with Barry and Matt about his lengthy career. His 5 Grammy’s, 40 million albums sold and life on the road are just a few of the things the guys touch on in a career that can be best described as successful. David discusses his past and coming from being a hard scrabble youth to fronting a band playing for tens of thousands of people at a time. The guys dig into David’s new album, Mobius, and the all star musicians he used to create his latest opus. Its a wonderful chat with an affable artist. A Pause for Thought talks LEGO. In My Life gets into missed opportunities. Crazy Stories outlines the most outlandish wedding story you’ve ever heard. Its so good, in fact, that Matt considered not even offering his story this week. WOWZA. A desert Island disc is McGraffed. All that and much more. The last Friday in August. Time for a Session.

My guest this week is the legendary rockabilly singer and bandleader, Ronnie Hawkins. I grew up knowing of Ronnie through his electrifying appearance in The Band's "The Last Waltz" movie, but as I learned more about the history, came to realize his importance as an artist in his own right, but also his abilities as a bandleader and talent scout. Like John Mayall did in the British blues scene, Ronnie could find the best players hidden away in remote corners, nurture them and bring them together like he did for one of the greatest bands ever, The Band (known originally as The Hawks)! In 1958 Ronnie released his first hit “Hey, Bo Diddley”. This was followed by "Marylou", which turned Hawkins into a teenage idol. Hawkins, an Arkansas native, started touring in Canada, and with an exploding rockabilly and Rock & Roll scene in Toronto and around more rural Ontario, Ronnie decided to stay. In 1959, Morris Levy signed him to Roulette Records for five years and tried to lure him back to the United States but Hawkins had fallen in love with Canada and didn't want to leave his new home. The membership of his band, The Hawks, kept changing as the talent flowed in and out, but the name stayed the same. Aside from The Band, there was another incarnation that became Janis Joplin's Full Tilt Boogie Band, and another Robbie Lane and the Disciples. Other famous Hawk alumni include David Clayton Thomas of Blood Sweat and Tears, actor Beverly D'Angelo, musician Lawrence Gowan, and fellow Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductees Burton Cummings and David Foster. It was great to have a chance to hear these stories first-hand, have lots of laughs, and learn new things about a key piece of Rock and Roll history.

Best known for his work with Blood Sweat and Tears, Grammy-winning Canadian singer David Clayton-Thomas is about to release his latest solo recording. Called Canadiana, it's a collection of covers by an interesting array of Canadian artists including Rush, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, and others. We'll hear about the process of reimagining these classics to fit David's one-of-a-kind pop, jazz, and blues stylings and why he decided to take on this unique initiative at this stage in his career. Plus, Desiree is a young artist with a border-defying sound that blends her Caribbean background with her British Columbian upbringing. She's currently at work on some new material at Mississauga, ON's Metalworks Studio as part of the Canadian Musician Career Booster package she won in this year's CBC Searchlight competition, so we'll check in on how the material is coming together and all the things she's been up to during her stay in Toronto.

Did you know Blood Sweat & Tears played Woodstock? Why weren’t they included in the film and soundtrack footage? We find out the answer to that and much more as our conversation with former BS&T frontman David Clayton Thomas continues. He discusses how his friendship with bluesman John Lee Hooker helped jumpstart his career in New York, and how no one expected the runaway success of the band’s second album, which sold 10 million copies in its first year of release.
David Clayton Thomas is one of the most recognizable voices in all of popular music. He led the hugely successful band Blood Sweat & Tears for around 30 years, having hits like “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy,” and “Spinning Wheel,” before embarking on a solo career in the early 2000’s. His latest project is a true labor of love, Soul Ballads (view entry on Amazon.com) comprises 12 classic R&B tracks, filtered through Clayton-Thomas’ deep resonating voice. In part one of our interview, we delve into this project, talking about his influences from Otis Redding to Sam Cooke. He also tells us why he was reluctant to record “Midnight Train to Georgia” at first.
