I’m only bummed that my good friend Al Kooper, who started the band, wasn’t noted EXCEPT by Patrick!!! Well done Patrick!!
I just spoke with Al last week….all good.
Thanks, Jeff–I had the Al Kooper album, Super Session, with Bloomfield and Stills. Then, there’s Al’s portrait in the Dylan film, A Complete Unknown, siding into that “Like a Rolling Stone” take on the organ. Certainly his little organ riff on that great song is a signature sound of one of the top 5 60’s records ever.
Well, he has stories…
and I’m a listener. And he’s funny, go figure!
Cheers!
Well done Jeff! Great job
Well done, Jeff and Simon. Beat me to it today: Here are my answers with a few fun sideways glances on the topic:
1. The song is “And When I Die” great vocal by the Canadian David Clayton-Thomas, with catchy cowboy YiHaw
2. Blood Sweat and Tears sang it, after setting up and closing the album with a musical theme from Erik Satie, with exiting footsteps
3. Laura Nyro wrote it, and she was championed by David Geffen
4. Other song by Nyro: Eli’s Coming, covered by Three Dog Night
5. Other song by Blood, Sweat and Tears, from first album with Al Kooper: I’ll Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know
And when I die
Blood sweat and tears
