What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat and Tears?

[Chin Diesel]

Who's old enough to remember this in real time?

Nixon administration threatening lead singer with deportation unless the band did some gigs in Romania, Poland and Yugoslavia in 1970.

Fascinating film finally tells 'Shakespearean' story of 'what the hell happened' to Blood, Sweat & Tears, an 'early victim' of rock 'n' roll cancel culture

"The No. 1 band gets its career destroyed by making one decision. But... they didn't know the reason for the decision. There's always a backstory."

I remember my 7th grade music teacher telling the class that BS&T was so much better that Chicago it wasn't worth arguing.

Well that was a terrible take (and I like BS&T). Old Chicago with Terry Kath was better than damn near anything. One of the most musically gifted bands that ever was. @August_West back me up here. Check out the solo around 3:00.
