O’s Notes: The lead singer for the legendary Blood Sweat & Tears has retreated from the music of the legendary pop band, took time to write his autobiography and now re-enters the music scene with a more relaxed jazz groove. Soul Ballads is a collection of soul classics presented in a classy format. David sings tunes by Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Gladys Knight, Ray Charles and other soul legends. It is not as much a departure as one may suspect as these were the tunes Clayton-Thomas cut his teeth on in the Clubs of Toronto!
