Which artist won the 1970 Grammy for Album of the Year with Blood, Sweat & Tears?

The story behind the answer

Blood, Sweat & Tears won the 1970 Grammy Award for Album of the Year with Blood, Sweat & Tears.

The Canadian-American rock group combined a conventional rock rhythm section with brass and woodwind instruments. Its second album, released in 1968, produced songs such as “You Made Me So Very Happy,” “Spinning Wheel,” and “And When I Die.”

The group’s sound helped popularize horn-driven rock at the end of the 1960s. The album became a major commercial success and spent weeks near the top of the American album chart.

The answer is the band’s name rather than the name of an individual vocalist. David Clayton-Thomas was the prominent lead singer on the album, but the Grammy’s Album of the Year credit went to Blood, Sweat & Tears as the performing artist.
