Why This CD Matters
Blood, Sweat & Tears’ second album brought a jazz-rock sound together with soul, pop, and a prominent horn section. With David Clayton-Thomas on lead vocals for most of the record, it features the hit “Spinning Wheel” alongside Laura Nyro’s “And When I Die” and “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy.” “God Bless The Child” and the extended “Blues - Part II” show the group’s range beyond its best-known singles.
