Summary

Interesting Things with JC #1696: "David Clayton-Thomas" – David Clayton-Thomas replaced Blood, Sweat & Tears' original singer just as the band's future was uncertain, and his gritty rhythm-and-blues voice transformed a brass-heavy rock experiment into one of the biggest albums of its era. Long after lineup changes and shifting musical trends, the same voice remained inseparable from songs that continue to define the band's legacy.
