Anyone with even a passing interest in contemporary rock music will recall the massive radio hits of America horn band Blood Sweat & Tears, with songs such as 'Spinning Wheel', 'You made me so very happy', 'When I die' and 'Hi De Ho', and 'More & More'.

These hits were equalled by fellow USA band Chicago, with their progressive fusion of rock and blues, with a songbook including 'Make me smile', 'Saturday in the park', '25 or 6 to 4', 'Does anybody know what time it is', and 'Beginnings'.

You'll be surprised at how many of these amazing songs you'll know.

"Sinatra, Presley, Jagger, Popeye and now Duffo" - Andy Warhol

"Jeff Duff and his fiery 7 man band knock out a whole brace of early Chicago and Blood Sweat & Tears songs.  the original arrangements were pretty damned impressive but these players refined/updated them a tad and the power was tempestuous. The joy of hearing musicians play live was overwhelming.  and Duffo - well that voice is never anything less than superb, with an uncanny ability to mould itself into his musical environment.  With regards BS&T, the obvious hits were there.  All were from the David Clayton-Thomas reign and were delivered with flair.  As a gesture to some boisterous fans of Duffo's first band, this brassy ensemble also slipped in Mush's only almost-hit Living On East Street.  It fitted in perfectly" - Glenn A Baker (Aust music journalist)
