Spooky Tooth - Waitin' For The Wind download song

This song was my absolute favourite when I was in my teens.

Mike Kellie's drum intro often gets over looked. Love the echo. saw them do this twice in 68-69

I'm only 45, my older biker friend was playing this when I was visiting him... incredible ...

I always thought Waitin' for the Wind was somehow...haunting. Must be the drum beat and the Hammond.

What a great group and what a fantastic time of my life. In 1969 I  was a roady for a local group called "Crossfield" out of Wilkes Barre Pa.The band covered some of spooky tooth`s music and did it justice.Thank you for taking your time to post this music. They talk about teleportation, well I just found out how to go back 40yrs all I had to do was listen to spooky tooth and close my eyes.

One of the best rock albums ever.....40+ years later still can make the hair on the back of my neck stand up.....

Lonely is the night and now darkness has fallin Nothing seems right and the world is callin Everybody's looking back As the wind comes whispering by They 're waitin' for the answers then Like the time they heard a cry Hang on Don't ever go Life's here I know Wind called on me How it took me by surprise Cause night comes upon me Creeping through the distant skies Wind tell me what you can 'Bout the life - Where I came from A breeze blew and whispered then In a voice rich as the sun Hang on Don't ever go Life's here I know

if all I had was a steady musical diet of Spooky Tooth Free, Mott,Humble Pie, Bad Co, Small/The Faces and Traffic I'd be doing all right...the heck with the rest.

Loved this band. Two great singers, Harrison and Gary Wright.

Saw 'em in NYC on a multi-colored visit there oh so many years ago. Small basement club... and they rocked it like rock was supposed to be. Great vocals, solid band, cool tunes... and that B3....my my!!

This was my favorite song for many years back in the day. I wore this LP out listening to just this song.

I have always loved the intro to this song, great, simple, ear-catching drumming. Props to Luther Grosvenor for writing a geat tune. I love Gary Wrights voice (Dream Weaver) as well. Thanks SO MUCH for posting this.

Fantastic song. Was listening to it when it was new.

Spooky 2 an exceptional LP. 

This whole album was amazing. Later they did I am The Walrus. All great songs with a unique sound between the vocals and instruments that was not a copy of anything else. Fabulous talent washed over by the 'mainline' groups unfortunately.

A lot of these great musicians came through the beat explosion in Birmingham in the 1960's, or if no scene in their town then they all took a chance and got the train to London to find fame. Spooky Tooth was really a London band (mentored through Island records). Probably one of the darker more melancholic bands of the time which meant they lacked commercial appeal, for me they have always been a 'rare' sound; certainly a 'hidden' band.

Yes, very British. And as for what album to buy...certainly the one this track is from..."Spooky Two", a stone classic. Oh yeah.

Yeah! Loved Spooky Tooth then, as much as i do now 2019

when this song first came out , I was attending the Julliard academy fer gifted Irish hippie kids (here in the Bronx-as featured in the craptastic series 'Fame') mastering the basic chords, the nuns brought me in an organ -my own had been lost in a combine accident many years before-the whole school had been assembled in the hall. folks were flabbergasted as i played the whole song perfectly. not a missed note-nor a dry eye in the crowd. i played thru 2 or three encores...Fuck! that wasn't me. that was some afterschool special i watched once! never mind!

Spooky were one of a kind...like Family...like Traffic...like the Pretty Things...now its a big corporate mush...a few bands shine...but not many Jim
