Do any other old farts like me remember these guys?

Listened to a ton of them as a young student.

Gary Wright, Chris Stainton, Mick Jones, Mike Harrison on bluesy, soulful vocals. They were a great band of the late 60's, but never really broke big in the U.S. Mostly, us "coolkids" bought their stuff.

Don't recall listening to this band back in my youth but they definitely have that British blues and psychedelic vibe going on, pretty cool sounding. The basic riff sounds a little like the soft side of Black Sabbath..

We listened to them back then. Also we knew a girl that had false teeth. We called her Spooky Tooth.

Not familiar w/them, but they are docked 10 points for having a member that went on to be in Foreigner

I'm pretty sure I've heard that before. I've probably heard several of their tracks.

The Move, one of my favorite uk bands of the time, covered ST's "Sunshine Help Me"

Understood, but it was a very well-paying gig.
I’m sure the dude had bills to pay. lol

I should have searched for examples deeper in their catalogue. “Waiting for the Wind” will probably sound familiar to most people.

With its Deep Purplish B-3

That’s one of their better songs, but the album version works better.

I had forgotten about that but it’s cool or maybe even dope.

I found a decent quality record of theirs in an old abandoned house once.
