Al Kooper will be inducted with Blood, Sweat & Tears even though he left after the first album. Al Kooper founded Blood, Sweat & Tears and he is very well known and respected in the music industry as a musician and producer and former member of the Blues Project as well. Al Kooper wrote most of and sang all of the songs on the first Blood, Sweat & Tears album, Child Is Father To The Man, which is a classic album. Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 05/1/2013 @ 14:11pm |

I think the Rock Hall will make an exception and induct Al Kooper with Blood, Sweat and Tears because Child Is Father To The Man was a very important album. Plus, he has lots of friends in the industry. This isn't like John Rutsy or Chad Channing. Posted by Roy on Tuesday, 04/15/2014 @ 10:03am |

Of the 41 members of Blood, Sweat & Tears who performed on the albums, 8 of the members were original members. 3 of the original members left the band after the first album (the most important album), so they should be included in the induction. 23 non-original members of BST were with the band for only one album or one year and two albums. 41 minus 23 leaves 18 members of BST who can be considered for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and they are as follows: Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 07/16/2014 @ 10:32am |
Black saxophonist Joe Henderson is on the cover of two Blood, Sweat & Tears albums: No Sweat and Mirror Image, but he is not mentioned anywhere on any of the credits on wikipedia. Plus, the wikipedia page for Joe Henderson makes no mention of him ever being a member of Blood, Sweat & Tears. This is really weird! Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 07/16/2014 @ 11:42am |

Al Kooper, Randy Brecker, and Jerry Weiss left Blood, Sweat & Tears after the first album, but they will still be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because that first BST album was very important. Posted by Roy on Sunday, 01/10/2016 @ 10:45am |

Not only does BS & T meet the "musical excellence" criteria (whatever that means & highly subjective)--they were also innovators for the time. I do not know if they were first for jazz rock fusion, but they were very early to have huge success with that genre. Posted by SUSAN J SABO on Sunday, 02/14/2016 @ 15:34pm |

If indeed the Rock Hall will only induct 8 members of a band from now on, it doesn't look good for Blood, Sweat & Tears. They had 8 original members. 3 members left after the first album, the most important album. The most important replacement member David Clayton-Thomas makes it 9.

To me, Blood, Sweat & Tears and Chicago never sounded the same. There is no comparison. It's apples and oranges. Robert Lamm once said that Blood, Sweat & Tears was a jazz band who could and did play rock, while Chicago was a rock band who could and did play jazz. After listening to all of Blood, Sweat & Tears' albums I understood what he meant. Posted by Roy on Monday, 06/5/2017 @ 23:47pm |

They should be inducted into the HOF However, the only ones worthy to receive the honor is the original members off the Child is Father to the Man Album and I would include David Clayton-Thomas, Jerry Fisher and Larry Willis. Posted by Rich on Friday, 08/30/2019 @ 08:22am |
