Mean Ole World (Live) Blood, Sweat & Tears was a brass rock band formed in early 1967, centered around Al Kooper (key) and Steve Katz (G) after they left the Blues Project. Early members included Randy Brecker (Tp) and Jim Fielder (B). After releasing their 1st album, "Child Is Father to the Man," in 1968, Al Kooper and Randy Brecker quickly left, and David Clayton Thomas (Vo) joined. They released their 2nd album, "Blood, Sweat & Tears," in the same year. The album produced hit songs such as "Spinning Wheel" and "You've Made Me So Very Happy," and won a Grammy Award. After that, despite numerous member changes, they produced classic albums such as "Blood, Sweat & Tears 3" in 1970 and "B,S & T:4" in 1971, and toured the world, but their last original release was "Nuclear Blues" in 1980. Clayton continued to lead the band, and even after his departure, the band continued to perform live.
