What Happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears?

[@morgunstyles7253]

One of the best bands ever

[@daisywrabbit]

Al Kooper is the man! ⚡️♥️⚡️

[@sturdivanthouse4614]

Chuck Winfield teaches at the University of Maine at Augusta, and has been a pivotal member of the faculty, which is also one of the least expensive places to get an excellent four yr jazz degree in America.

I damned near wore the grooves off of Child is Father to The Man

[@arthurmccarron4379]

Great band. Great. Songs. Thanks

[@andyjay9346]

Short-lived 6 hits career in Australia from April 1969 to October 1971. The hits still can be heard on classic rock radio stations around Australia today. All hits featured Clayton-Thomas up front. * You Made Me So Very Happy * Spinning Wheel (stalled at #2 did 13 weeks) * And When I Die * Hi-De-Ho * Lucretia Mac-Evil * Go Down Gamblin' (stalled at #36 only 2 weeks)

[@pkeelan56]

US had “Lisa Listen To Me” from the fourth album also. Great song!

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

I first heard them when I was four. I was dancing around the lounge. Have always loved them.

[@LoudGuitr]

Well done. Your facts and info are quite good. Good sources. I’m in a unique position to know that. Nice job.

[@whathappenedtothem_]

Glad it was helpful!

Best album ever…THE original Blood Sweat and Tears

[@leonwaltemate6152]

They played at Woodstock.

[@dereks1264]

I don't know how true this is but I heard somewhere that 128 personnel have cycled through the various incarnations of BS&T.

[@christopherseivard8925]

My first concert was DCT’s last. In Philly, at the Philadelphia music hall. Wait, it might have been the academy of Music?

[@brendabriery9648]

You didn't mention Jerry Fisher!!! A incredible singer!! As great as David Clayton!! I saw them with Jerry Fisher in Norman Okla. at the Blue Onion.

[@whathappenedtothem_]

You're right!

[@troygaspard6732]

My parents played the first album endlessly.

[@pkeelan56]

The greatest horn band ever!!!

[@GmoneyGm]

Second best behind Chicago

[@chasefreak]

Good job, however, it's pronounced JAW-KO NOT YAW-KO. I believe that info is incorrect, I NEVER knew of Jaco to play or tour w BS&T, however, guitarist Mike Stern did as did saxophonist Joe Henderson. Keyboardist Larry Willis was recording solo albums of his own while in-between tours w the band. When Lew Soloff was on the band, while not touring w BS&T he toured with Gil Evans. I saw them a few times in the late '80's w DCT and they sounded amazing! The cover of the No Sweat album where they're all in the Sona was re-cycled as a joke in the Sona scene in the Blues Brothers as both Lou Marini & Tom Malone were on that album with BS&T and later were on the Blues Brothers band. Trumpeter Alan Rubin who was with the Blues Brothers, subbed for Trumpeter Chuck Winfield on Spinning Wheel.

[@44thenazz]

According to his biography and drummer BST Bobby Colomby, Jaco filled in for a few gigs.

[@satosheeee6557]

In　ｔhe picture at 5:29, we can see Don Alias, Larry Willis, Mike Stern and Jaco Pastorius!

[@neub4321]

More than 165 band members over the years! That sounds like a record.

[@johnandersonjjr]

I hear David Clayton Thomas is now with menudo….

[@Aqualung1971_]

Shouldve stopped sometime in the mid 70s, to preserve their legacy

[@chrisbudai409]

The same way Chicago should, they have become nothing more than a tribute band to themselves

[@majormal1]

That's Jaco with a hard J. Not Yaco.. smh

[@kenzuercher7497]

One of my neighbors, Chris Shutters from Toledo, Ohio now sings lead with BS&T. Haven't seen them nearby but he's also a terrific guitarist!

[@247hdjazz]

[@mortykatz8818]

A shame they were great

[@1e0s]

Interesting presentation thank you🎶

[@whathappenedtothem_]

Thanks for listening

[@cecilDisharoon]

I really thought they'd have some black guys, but that's fine. I've read about Cooper working with Dylan.

[@centralscrutinizer7374]

I’ve worked with Al as a soloist and Katz’s BS&T. Kooper is better.

[@Tracy81258]

Sweat and Tears seem to be doing well, but I was heart broken to hear about Blood.

[@IMCcanTWEESTED]

I liked Al Kooper's iteration the most. But they were too "jazz" for "pop." Even that rippin' trumpet solo by Soloff on "Spinning Wheel" still sounded sort of "networkie." I followed the Brecker Brothers in the late '80s and lost track of Fred Lipsius who I admired being a sax player, but was soon eaten alive by Cold Blood and Tower of Power who where more funk than I could fit in the trunk. I sat outside San Diego's Funky Quarters to listen to TOP's set TWICE. It was an over 21 bar, but the doorman did me a solid and left the front door open so I got to hear every blessed note. Saw TOP again just after Skip Mesquite exited and joined Cold Blood, and dancin' Lenny Pickett joined the horn section. From then on I was like "Blood Sweat and What?" When I heard DCT's distinctive voice singing in some national brand's pancake mix commercial, I chuckled to myself singing..."What goes up-Must come down-Sellin' flapjacks-Must be a clown!"

[@JamesSalie]

Drugs women and bad business decisions like most bands of that time.

[@liveandlearn5320]

OK could we now stop the bullshit I’ve looked everywhere to stream this movie and cannot find it. Please let me know where it is.

[@timfurnier7061]

"Blood, Sweat, and Tears WERE"?????? How groups are there by this name????????

[@mattr3238]

we need youall

[@qg3726]

Perhaps they just should have called the Band the "Revolving Door"..

[@247hdjazz]

stupid!

[@jimflys2]

Yacho? Or what it Yacob? Not every name needs to be interpreted with an other than American pronunciation. Dude, it's Jaco with a J. No Y. He is not German.

[@petercena9497]

Great second album. However their third was disappointing and Chicago, with a stronger rock vibe became the brass band of choice.

[@craigharrell7144]

..also Chcago had three distinctive vocalists, better original material and a virtuoso guitarist in Terry Kath.

[@pkeelan56]

Love albums 1-4 then lost track of them.

[@hot88s23]

And didn't Jerry LaCroix do a tour as vocalist?

[@allenjones3130]

Yes.

[@hot88s23]

And I understand he quit because they didn't rock hard enough. @@allenjones3130

[@nitetrane98]

Yes but he didn't have the pipes to hand with a big band.

[@MrSaracen]

I think Jerry's version of the song "Love You More Than You Ever Know" is the very best.

[@247hdjazz]

how come you never mentioned Jerry Hyman?

[@pkeelan56]

Isn’t he a Chiropractor now?

@@nicholasbrowning4558 I stand corrected. Was thinking about The Lovin' Spoonful. David Clayton-Thomas gave BS&T the boost they needed.

After Cooper left the Record company decided to make a pop band. They went from a serious musical experiment to something closer to the Archies.

Agree. Kooper's debut BS&T and the first with DCT were both exceptional. After that, spotty at best.

I do. B,S & T were really good at the time and were a big part of the music world during their heights.

Without AL KOOPER... all they were was session musicians

Sounds like your slighting session musicians "all they were" very insulting
