Blood, Sweat & Tears is the 1969 self-titled second album by the band Blood, Sweat & Tears.
After the critical success of the first album, bandleader Al Kooper and two other members left the group. Bobby Colomby and Steve Katz searched for a replacement singer, settling on David Clayton-Thomas; three more musicians joined to bring the band to nine members. Columbia assigned James William Guercio (who was simultaneously working with new band Chicago) to produce a new album.
The song selection was much more pop-oriented than the first album, with more compositions from outside the band; as a result, the album was a huge commercial success, rising to the top of the U.S. charts and yielding three successive Top 5 singles. It also received favorable reviews from the music critics, and received a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1970.
