Keyboard player Al Kooper had a dream musically to blend rock, pop, R&B, and Jazz. To those ends, he brought together some of the best musicians in the business to form Blood, Sweat, and Tears in 1967. The intention at the time was to blend rock, pop, R&B and Jazz. However, the arraignment with Kooper at the helm since he left due to creative differences, and Canadian David Clayton Thomas was brought in as lead singer. Their second album was the one that brought about a three or four year stretch where BS&T were at the top of their game. (and the charts)
