Blood, Sweat & Tears (also known as "BS&T") is an American music group, originally formed in 1967 in New York City. BS&T is best known for the fusing of rock, blues, pop music, horn arrangements and jazz improvisation into a hybrid that came to be known as "jazz-rock."
Unlike "jazz fusion" bands, which tend toward virtuosic displays of instrumental facility and some experimentation with electric instruments, the songs of Blood, Sweat & Tears merged the styling of rock, pop and R&B/soul music with big band, while also adding elements of 20th Century Classical and small combo jazz traditions.
Canadian singer and musician David Clayton-Thomas led the band during its most successful period. In January 2006, David’s song (recorded with BS&T) "Spinning Wheel," was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
For your listening pleasure, here are some of BS&T’s best songs.
BS&T - I Can’t Quit Her
BS&T - I Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know
BS&T - And When I Die
