Random: I was picking up a couple of things at the store and Blood Sweat and Tears’ “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy” came on the Muzak channel. I burst out into muffled song behind my mask. It’s such a dorky song. But at the same moment my brother introduced me to the Beatles and the Stones (I was 4yo), the neighbors’ older brother introduced them to BS&T, and they in turn to me. I loved it. We made a little band, and I played the trash can drum to the album. I think I have that whole album memorized and I haven’t heard it in years and years.

Bumps Blackwell, who produced records for Little Richard, Sam Cooke, and others once told me David Clayton Thomas sang like he was black. Which was high praise from Bumps.

Blood Sweat & Tears - great band with a great wall of sound
