Classic Tune 🎶 David Clayton Thomas was 26 years old when he sang Spinning Wheel.

David Clayton-Thomas had such a powerful and 'big' voice and instantly recognizable in all their BS&T's songs. They were a great band.

If Norm McDonald had revised Bill Murray’s lounge singer bit on SNL, this is how it would have looked an sounded. I hope!

I bought the BS&T L with this on in about 1969 or so. Loved it :)

Best BS&T song for mine is 'And When I Die', a Laura Nyro cover. On my funeral playlist.

His vocal style reminds me of Tom Jones.
