Some of the songs were on the movie Easy Rider. Michael Bloomfield on guitar.
From youtube:
"Like Blood, Sweat, & Tears, and later Chicago, and Tower of Power, The Electric Flag, fused jazz, blues, R&B, and rock. It was one of the first groups to make use of horns. "Sittin' in Circles" composed by keyboardist, Barry Goldberg, and performed by singer and guitarist Nick Gravenites, is from A Long Time Comin' the debut album of the band. The album, released by Columbia Records in March 1968, reached #31 on the Billboard Pop Albums Chart, and is currently available on CD on the Sony label."

CaptJohn, by now you may have figured out that I sang with a couple brass rock bands back in the day, and one did "Groovin' Is Easy" by the Flag. Ahhh, the memories!
