About Blood, Sweat & Tears
With their blend of jazz and rock, Blood, Sweat & Tears were one of the most innovative and captivating groups of the â60s and â70s. Formed in 1967 in New York City with singer Al Kooper at the helm, the band released their debut, Child Is Father to the Man, in 1968. The ambitious recordâs electrifying mĂ©lange of powerful horns, soulful R&B, pop melodies, and virtuosic solos established Blood, Sweat & Tears as a major musical force on the strength of songs like the sweeping âI Love You More Than Youâll Ever Know.â When Kooper split soon after, the band continued with Canadian singer David Clayton-Thomas and foregrounded the pop side of their sound. Their 1968 self-titled album earned a Grammy and gold records in the U.S. thanks to the upbeat, horn-blasted tracks âAnd When I Dieâ and âSpinning Wheelâ and mini-epic love song âYouâve Made Me So Very Happy.â Though the lineup has shifted many times since their heyday, the band continues to bring a genre-bending sound to 21st-century audiences.
