Founder Al Kooper conceived Blood, Sweat and Tears as an experiment in expanding the size and scope of the rock band with touches of jazz, blues, classical, and folk music. When Kooper was forced out of the band soon after its eclectic debut, Child Is Father to the Man, BS&T became increasingly identified as a “jazz-rock” group, although its music was essentially easy-listening R&B or rock with the addition of brass.
Kooper formed BS&T after leaving the Blues Project in 1967 . The nucleus of the original band was Steve Katz, also of the Blues Project; Jim Fielder, who had played with the Mothers of Invention and Buffalo Springfield; and Bobby Colomby, who had drummed behind folksingers Odetta and Eric Andersen. The horn players were recruited from New York jazz and studio bands. Child Is Father featured songs by Harry Nilsson, Tim Buckley, Randy Newman, Gerry Goffin, and Carole King, along with Kooper originals and arrangements by Fred Lipsius for brass, strings, and studio effects. The band nearly broke up when Kooper, Randy Brecker, and Jerry Weiss left (Brecker to join the Thad Jones–Mel Lewis Band). Regrouping under Katz and Colomby, and fronted by David Clayton-Thomas (who had sung with a Canadian blues band, the Bossmen), BS&T entered a period of immense popularity.

SOMEONE, PLZ ADD "VELVET" TO THE PLAYLIST. HAVEN'T HEARD IT SINCE I HAD VINYL, UMMM...35 OR SO YEARS AGO. WOULD LOVE TO HEAR IT AGAIN. PLZ! Velvet was a very handsome mother-mare-to-be Grazing by a country road and tied to a very young tree We were walking to see her Velvet gazed upon me Indian Summer - turning colors on me Couldn't she have stayed until the first September day To foal in the autumn shades The family would have shared her pain Snake bite deep in the night Velvet lost her life twice Indian Summer - turning colors on me Velvet, now you're gone Family carries on Children love you so They don't even know Malamute's howl and seem to know Velvet's old friend Tony cried in the morning sun She was reaching for someone And she broke down to a new friend Indian Summer - turning colors on me Indian Summer - turning colors on me ***REALLY MISS THAT SONG***

I don't know. Chicago and BS&T rival each other in horn-rock power, but I think BS&T has (for the most part) more of a jazz influence while Chicago has more of the classic rock feel. Both are excellent bands, though! No doubt about that!
