Blood, Sweat & Tears is an American jazz rock music group founded in New York City in 1967, noted for combining a brass section with rock band instrumentation. BS&T has gone through numerous iterations with varying personnel and has encompassed a wide range of musical styles. Their sound has merged rock, pop and R&B/soul music with big band jazz.

Korni Grupa was a Yugoslav rock band formed in Belgrade in 1968. Launched and led by—as well as named after—the keyboardist Kornelije Kovač, the band was one of the first Yugoslav rock acts to achieve major mainstream popularity in the country, and often considered the very first Yugoslav supergroup. Since their dissolution, Korni Grupa gained significant retroactive acclaim as one of the most influential bands in the history of rock music in Yugoslavia. The band additionally used the Kornelyans name during a short-lived commercial foray outside of Yugoslavia in an attempt at breaking into the international market with an English-language album.
