Thomas Griffin Winslow (November 13, 1940 – October 23, 2010)[1] was an American folk singer and writer known as a "disciple" of Reverend Gary Davis and a former member of Pete Seeger's band.

He was most notable as the composer of "Hey Looka Yonder (It's The Clear Water)", a folk song that has been the anthem of the Sloop Clearwater.

[1] While he toured throughout the United States, he continued to perform in Upstate New York until shortly before his death at the age of 69.

In the 1960s, he worked at Vassar College in the equestrian program,[1] and off-season, as a construction worker at Albany, New York's Empire State Plaza.

[citation needed] Winslow's great enduring fame comes from penning and performing the now-classic ballad, "Hey Looka Yonder", which is known also as "It's the Clearwater" and "It's the Clear Water".

He first came to Saratoga to work with the horses and has for many years enjoyed playing gigs around the area, including at Lena's.

[1] By the early 2000s he did not travel far from his home in New Baltimore, New York, due to care-taking for his wife, Edral, who died in January 2007.
