10. Sad to hear. I was a big BS&T fan when they first came out.

I was in a traditional rock group at the time and because of them along with Chicago, Electric Flag, and a few others we added a horn section.

I really loved their first album, but I have to say that the addition of Clayton-Thomas and the departure of Al Kooper somewhat ruined them for me. Similar to when Terry Kath 'left' Chicago, but much more so.

But still, great memories, and may he R.I.P.
