With all three members out of work they decided to revive the old idea of a collaboration and started work on their eponymous debut album Beck, Bogert & Appice. The album had solid sales in 1973 and had a hit single "Superstition", which was a cover of Stevie Wonder's composition of the same name. Wonder had originally intended to record "Superstition" with Beck, but the latter's automobile accident shelved the plan. Later that year the band released a live album in Japan (now an extremely sought after rare album), Live in Japan. The group began work on a second studio album, but Beck suddenly left the band in early 1974, forcing a dissolution.

Morning Dew
Beck Bogert & Appice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please, walk me out in the morning dew.
Can't walk you out in no morning dew.
Can't walk you out in no morning dew.
Thought I heard a young man crying.
Thought I heard a young man crying.
You did not hear no young man crying.
Thought I heard a young girl crying.
Thought I heard a young girl crying.
You did not hear no young girl crying.
You did not hear no young girl crying.
Now there is no more morning dew.
Now there is no more morning dew.
What they've been saying all these years has come true.
Now there is no more morning dew
The lyrics of Beck Bogert & Appice's song "Morning Dew" paint a picture of a mournful morning walk. The singer requests his honey to walk him out in the morning dew, but unfortunately, he is unable to do so. Amidst his plea, the singer hears what he believes to be a young man and then a young girl crying, but he is told he didn't hear anything of the sort. The melancholic atmosphere takes center stage as the singer laments the fact that there is no more morning dew as what has been predicted for years has come to pass.
The song "Morning Dew" is a classic from the late '60s, written by folk singer Bonnie Dobson. The song was initially written as a post-nuclear apocalypse love song, but the meaning has since evolved to represent a broader range of crises. With Beck Bogert & Appice's interpretation in 1973, the song morphed into a heavy rock-propelled masterpiece. Interestingly, Beck Bogert & Appice's interpretation of the song is an instrumental, with the lyrics appearing only briefly.

Thanks for adding this amazing clip. No pitch correction, no backing tracks, just pure talent! Listen to how incredibly loud and powerful Tim Bogert's bass is. You can actually here the bass guitar feeding back in places!
Larry Stoltenberg
Just real musicians playing their instruments. Mr. Beck!
