STEVE KATZ
Steve Katz (born May 9, 1945) is a guitarist and record producer who is best known as a member of the rock group Blood, Sweat & Tears. Katz was an original member of the rock bands The Blues Project and American Flyer. As a producer, his credits include the 1979 album Short Stories Tall Tales for the Irish band Horslips, the Lou Reed albums Rock ’n’ Roll Animal and Sally Can’t Dance, and the Elliott Murphy album Night Lights.

Al Kooper formed Blood, Sweat and Tears in 1967; one of his bandmates in the Blues Project, Steve Katz became an important member of the group as well.
Steve Katz remained with the group, unlike Al Kooper (who left the band or was pushed out after the release of their debut 1968 album, Child Is Father to the Man due to creative differences). Katz has an excellent lead vocal on one song on their second album, Blood, Sweat and Tears, “Sometimes in Winter”.
