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.

This is not a case like Gram Parsons of The Byrds or John Rutsy of Rush who left after the first albums. Child Is Father To The Man was a very important album. Al Kooper will be inducted with Blood, Sweat & Tears.

The new Rock Hall Museum President, Greg Harris recently name dropped Blood, Sweat & Tears as one of the bands he would like to see inducted. I'm sure he'll get Al Kooper to be included in the induction.

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.

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!

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.

Blood, Sweat & Tears had three lead singers: Al Kooper, David Clayton-Thomas, and Jerry Fisher. Al Kooper and David Clayton-Thomas will definitely be inducted, but will Jerry Fisher be inducted for the New Blood, No Sweat, and Mirror Image albums.

So Long Dixie and Save Our Ship should get Jerry Fisher inducted!

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.
I recall when "You've Made Me So Very Happy" hit the charts! Album was played in our college dorm constantly!

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.

I'm curious where you think Blood, Sweat & Tears compares to Chicago in musicianship and their influence. It seems Blood, Sweat & Tears would be a band the RRHOF would nominate and induct. Spinning Wheel is a King FAV. Enjoy your posts. They're very informative. KING

Posted by KING on Monday, 06/5/2017 @ 18:09pm

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.

I'll admit, I think Blood, Sweat & Tears was a better band. The production was better on all their albums. The horn parts were longer and louder. It always felt like BST were more knowledgeable than Chicago, more educated.

I can't talk about who I think is more influential because the music isn't the same to me. Chicago obviously lasted longer and sold more though. BST never really changed their sound. Chicago did.

I do prefer David Clayton-Thomas and Jerry Fisher over Terry Kath as singers though.

You can't compare Steve Katz's guitar playing to Terry Kath's guitar playing. They didn't play the same way.

Al Kooper and Larry Willis on piano vs. Robert Lamm.

Bobby Colomby was a better drummer than Danny Seraphine.

Katz and Kath…that's weird.

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

Rest in Peace Larry Willis, 1942-2019.

Posted by Joe on Friday, 10/11/2019 @ 05:29am

RIP Larry Willis

Posted by Roy on Friday, 10/11/2019 @ 11:38am

I am 63 years old. For the following reasons I do not believe that BS&T will be inducted in my lifetime.

1. Arthur Bremer took his ugly girlfriend to one of their concerts.

2. At the height of the Vietnam War they went on a tour of eastern Europe for the Nixon State Department. Something the limousine liberals of the Rolling Stone never forgave them for.

3. David Clayton-Thomas was very unhip. He was balding and chunky and looked older than he was.

4. Most of the band members were balding and/or chunky and/or mature-looking and didn't look like Alvin Lee. Maybe some of them were actually "old".

5. Many if not all of the band members went to Berklee or Juilliard and could probably read music.

6. They kicked out Al Kooper and went from playing acid rock to something akin to Dixieland.

7. ADULTS actually listened to them!!!!!!!!

It is hard to believe that Blood Sweat & Tears is not a part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As good as Chicago and they are in. Iconic albums. Wake up Rock.

Posted by Carl Hardy on Sunday, 07/21/2024 @ 13:46pm

A fantastic jazz band just as good as Chicago which is in. David Clayton Thomas is a great singer and songwriter. So many great memorable hits and great music. A must.
