David Clayton-Thomas, the Legendary Voice of Blood, Sweat & Tears, Dies at Age 84

The Toronto-based Hall of Famer wrote and sang many of the band's classics and was a prolific solo recording artist.

David Clayton-Thomas, the powerhouse vocalist and songwriter behind some of the biggest global hits of Blood, Sweat & Tears, died last evening (June 24) at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. He was 84.

An obit issued by publicist Eric Alper on his passing calls Clayton-Thomas ''One of the most recognizable voices of his generation. He sang the hell out of every song he touched, soaring and sunny one moment, a deep and somber shade of blue the next. Over a career that carried him from the streets of Toronto to the stage at Woodstock and beyond, he sold more than 40 million records and helped shape the very sound of jazz-rock.''
