Blood, Sweat & Tears (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | The new group was signed to Columbia Records, and the name Blood, Sweat and Tears came to Kooper in the wake of an after-hours jam at the Cafe Au Go Go, where he'd played with a cut on his hand that had left his organ keyboard covered in blood. |
 | | That was the America that Blood, Sweat & Tears flew out of as they headed off on that tour for the government -- they might as well have been spitting in the faces of tens of millions of would-be fans. |
 | | With replacements aboard, Blood, Sweat & Tears continued performing, but their next LP, humorously (or was it ominously?) entitled No Sweat, released in 1973, never rose higher than number 72 on the charts, and that was a hit compared to its successor, Mirror Image, which peaked at number 149. |
