Cold Blood, an American R&B horn funk band from Oakland, California, emerged in 1968 under the leadership of guitarist Larry Field. Fronted by the dynamic vocalist Lydia Pense, the band became a cornerstone of the "East Bay Grease" sound, blending rock, R&B, and soul. Their self-titled debut album in 1969, produced by David Rubinson, reached No. 23 on the US charts. Notable for their energetic performances at venues like the Fillmore West, Cold Blood's collaborations with artists such as Tower of Power and Donny Hathaway further solidified their influence in the funk-rock genre.
