In a wide-ranging interview on the history of Blood, Sweat & Tears, former frontman David Clayton-Thomas reveals how the group's most famous hit wound up getting a second life.
“I had actually already cut a demo of the song a couple of years before,” says Clayton-Thomas. “I couldn’t get anybody interested in it. Nobody wanted it here in Canada. So basically, when I went to New York after I joined Blood, Sweat & Tears, I took a cassette with me, and I played it for them, and they went, ‘Wow! Great, let’s do it!’ and the rest, as they say, is history.”
