Blood, Sweat & Tears

Blood, Sweat

And Tears

No American rock group ever started with as

much daring or musical promise as Blood,

Sweat & Tears, or realized their potential

more fully -- and then blew it all as quickly.

From their origins as a jazz-rock experiment

what wowed critics and listeners, they went

on - in a somewhat more pop vein - to sell

almost six million records in three years, but

ended up being dropped by their record label

four years after that. Blood, Sweat &

Tears started as an idea conceived by Al

Kooper in July of 1967.
