What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears?

Series: Sonic Cinema

In June 1970, hot off their spectacular Grammy win for Album of the Year, Blood, Sweat & Tears became the first American rock band to perform behind the Iron Curtain, doing concerts in Yugoslavia, Romania, and Poland on a tour sponsored by the U.S. State Department.

Upon their return, the band becomes a victim of the significant societal upheaval and culture wars in a polarized America. The band found themselves in the crossfire from both the Right AND the Left and the group suffered greatly as a result. Suddenly, they lost support from fans, the media, concert bookers, and the recording industry.

Through documentary footage shot during the Iron Curtain tour (and thought to be lost) and present-day interviews with band members and historians, as well as the unsealing of government records, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS? unravels the details of this extraordinary year in the life of the band.
