Blood, Sweat & Tears is a jazz-rock music group founded in 1967. They are noted for their combination of brass & rock band instrumentation. Especially love their stuff when David Clayton-Thomas joined as their lead singer. They have had a lot of great songs such as "Spinning Wheel", "And When I Die", "Hi-De-Ho" "Lucretia MacEvil", "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know", "Go Down Gamblin'", "Lisa Listen To Me" etc.
Blood, Sweat and Tears was one of my favorites!!! Us "old folks" were so very blessed with the music of the 60's and 70's!!! And its so much fun watching young people discover our music!!!🎵🎼🎶🥁🎸🎹🎤🔥🤘
What you have heard was a trumpet with a demper which gives the sound a higher pitch. This unique group was one of the first with fusion music. The horn section was only 3 members but sounds like more. Always chills hearing these guys. They have more of absolutely stunning compositions.
Love BS&T. They were my favorite group when I was in HS, along with Chicago. BS&T's drummer Bobby Colomby was great. Lew Soloff the lead trumpet came from trumpet player Maynard Ferguson's big band. I saw them live at Carnegie Hall around the time their 3rd album came out.
Honored and blessed! Your first choice from the band feels like my daily dedication to you. Watching your reactions does indeed make me very happy! If you're taking BS&T requests, try "Spinning Wheel", and "And When I Die"....
The short songs were to get radio play. They had to keep it under 3 minutes. Often there is a extended version on the album. If you sounded like another band you were a ripoff and albums were designed to be heard in a complete sitting. So they took us on a ride, we would be introduced,worked up,party time , on the same album we would go through emotion and introspection. Just a interesting ride. As far as background music tv and movies are using so much of the music of the 70 80s to fill in the story. For instance all the Marvel movies the music is so important it’s like a character, we older folks know that music so well .
I think of a fadeout at the end of a single as a way to make the listener want to hear more of the song, which in turn makes us more likely to buy the record or request it on the radio.
Blood, Sweat, & Tears--this song is from their 2nd album, which had a different singer than their first album, and this one REALLY took off. I can't tell you how many weddings this song was played at back in the day...
These guys had the best horns out of the jazz/rock bands. Lew Soloff, with those trumpet solos, (RIP), was so good, it was enough to push them beyond the other groups. And David Clayton Thomas had the most amazing voice, so soulful and powerful. He could really change gears. Not just the horns, though. The whole group was among the tightest in the field. Outside of Zappa. Try- Go Down Gamblin' and God bless the child.
Could you be thinking of a clarinet ?... There is such a huge catalog of music you haven't heard that its near impossible to not jump from artist to artist... The choices like the fade are among the experimentations that the 70's & 80's were trying as different electronic functions were added...the choice of background & switch ups were bands evolving in their personal style...for instance Jefferson Airplane havng several name changes as they switched members and styles.. I think they finally ended with Jefferson Starship... Also many 'rock' bands added orchastras for popular appeal..Moody Blues was wildly applauded for their sound... The development of Music has run the gommet from stylistic simple acoustic guitar to vibrational melodies using light...you have a so much to hear... For fun lets listen to 💥.. Can't Get Next To You... Temptations 💥.. Lowdown...Boz Scaggs 💥..Play That Funky Music...Wild Cherries 💥..Tainted Love...Soft Cell Those are the late 60's to the early 80's...you see changes as you progress...its been a wonderful musical revolution..😁... 🌿🌿🌿
