He was replaced by Canadian blues singer, Clayton Thomas. Unusual for the time, the band included a horn section in an effort to create a jazz-rock fusion. It worked and their style was much copied throughout the sixties and early seventies.
When Clayton-Thomas left, the band fell apart but was reformed by Bobby Colomby, the only original member, in the early seventies. Although it may have been quite successful, the original spark had gone and they were merely trading on past glories.

Randy Holden - guitar, 1968; Dick Peterson - bass, vocals; Leigh Stephens - guitar, vocals; Paul Whaley - drums.Sixties psychedelic thrash band specialising in high volume, distortion and feedback. The first album carried liner notes from Owsley. On the vinyl itself, the highlight was a manic version of "Summertime Blues".
Unfortunately their style was seen by many as a cross between Hendrix and Cream and they suffered as a result. Definitely a west coast cult band, ignored elsewhere.

Dan Aykroyd (Elwood Blues); John Belushi ("Joliet" Jake Blues); Steve Cropper - guitar; Donald "Duck" Dunn - bass; Steve Jordan - drums, vocals; Matt Murphy - guitar; Paul Schaffer - keyboards, vocals.Originally nothing more than a warm-up routine for the hit US TV series, "Saturday Night Live", Aykroyd and Belushi recruited some of America's finest session men. In September 1978, they recorded a live album that went platinum and spawned a US chart hit.
In 1980, director John Landis was brought in to capture the excitement of this cult band. Unfortunately, the resulting "Blues Brothers" movie was not a box office smash. When Belushi died in 1982, the band continued with Eddie Floyd as the vocalist.

Geoff Daking - drums; Mike Esposito - guitar; Ron Gilbert - bass; Ralph Scala - organ, vocals; Emil Thielheim - guitar, vocals.A New York group with a misleading name. Not that they couldn't play the blues when they wanted, but their specialty was electricity. Albums: Psychedelic Lollipop, 1966; Electric Comic Book, 1967; Basic Blues Magoos, 1968; Gulf Coast Bound; Never Goin' Back To Georgia; Nuggets.
BLUES PROJECT.
Roy Blumenfield - drums; Tommy Flanders - vocals, 1966-67; Richard Green - violin; John Gregory - guitar, vocals; Donald Gretman - bass, saxophone; Danny Kalb - guitar; Steve Katz - guitar, harmonica; Al Kooper - guitar, organ, vocals; Andy Andy Kulberg - bass, flute, piano.New York's contribution to the rock scene of the mid-60's. Actually, they could play anything, which isn't surprising considering Kalb was thought to be the best folk guitarist around. No one at that time had heard of Al Kooper before. Kalb disappeared in 1967, and Kooper was doing other things most of the time, so the band collapsed. Kulberg organized the remainder into Sea Train, while Kooper started Blood, Sweat and Tears.
