RIP David Clayton-Thomas

[Variant_S]

I thought that I should start another thread instead of reviving this one from 2024.

There's a pretty good writeup / bio here:

David Clayton-Thomas, powerhouse lead singer of Blood, Sweat & Tears, dies at 84​

Sad to see him go.

Not a big fan of the band. RIP..
Heaven has a new voice.

One of the best concerts I attended at KU, 1970. His voice and the BST band was very good. Very good show, no bull, all songs.

Great voice. Now I’m worried about Burton Cummings from the Guess Who.

Great voice. Now I’m worried about Burton Cummings from the Guess Who.

Burt's 78 now.

We went to a Guess Who concert in July 2000 at the ball park. Great show. Torrential rain drove much of the crowd away, but we were just under the roof and stayed dry.

Burt still had the pipes then, as a youngster of 52.

The age 78 is pivitol. Half of all rock stars will be deceased by 78 years of age. The other half will still be doing concerts.

Man was I stoked when New City came out.
The Randy Newman tune Naked Man is one of my favorites.

He's touring with Randy Bachman . They can be found at Y.T..

His voice had that raspy power to it, wasn't classically trained, but that raw edge was perfect for what BST was doing. That's what made him stand out.
