Cold Blood

They run in the same orbit as The J.B.'s, Graham Central Station, Brothers Johnson, The Bar-Kays and King Curtis, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Starship, Elvin Bishop, Journey, Boz Scaggs and Tower of Power, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
