David Clayton-Thomas

The lead singer for Blood, Sweat & Tears’ most widely used incarnation was created in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, England, in 1941, the son of the Canadian soldier who served in World War II. David Clayton-Thomas was raised within a suburb of Toronto; surviving in a difficult family members environment, he still left home as an adolescent and started his musical profession at age group 23 within the Shays. They truly became the Bossmen in 1965 and released “Brainwashed” in 1966. After Al Kooper still left Bloodstream, Perspiration & Tears following release of Kid Is Dad to the person in early 1968, Clayton-Thomas was put into the BS&T lineup because the brand-new frontman/singer, as well as the group have scored a major strike with the Bloodstream, Perspiration & Tears record released in January of the next season. The band’s hit-filled eponymous sophomore record gained the 1969 Grammy for Record of the entire year. While performing in BS&T through the past due ’60s and early ’70s, Clayton-Thomas started a solo profession, launching self-titled albums for Decca (1969), Columbia (1972), and RCA (1973). A re-formed edition of Bloodstream, Perspiration & Tears offering Clayton-Thomas made an appearance in 1980, authorized to MCA, and released Nuclear Blues.
