David Clayton-Thomas, sångare i Blood, Sweat and Tears, har avlidit vid 84 års ålder

David Clayton-Thomas, som var sångare i Blood, Sweat and Tears under deras mest framgångsrika år, somnade in i Toronto i tisdags. Han blev 84 år gammal.

Ett pressmeddelande bekräftade dödsfallet men angav ingen dödsorsak. Clayton-Thomas gick med i bandet 1968 efter att den ursprungliga sångaren Al Kooper lämnat gruppen. Hans barytonröst bidrog till att driva fram hits som Spinning Wheel, You’ve Made Me So Very Happy och And When I Die. Gruppens självbetitlade album från 1968 toppade Billboard-listan i sju veckor och vann en Grammy för årets album. Han föddes som David Henry Thomsett i Surrey i England 1941, växte upp i Toronto och blev senare invald i Canadian Music Hall of Fame. Han efterlämnar döttrarna Ashleigh Clayton-Thomas och Christine Graham. En minneskonsert till förmån för Peacebuilders Canada planeras.
