''Child Is Father to the Man'' is the debut album by a Blood, Sweat & Tears , released in February of 1968 (see 1968 In Music ). Widely regarded as a classic fusion of Jazz , Rock And Roll , Psychedelia and Classical Music , ''Child Is Father to the Man'' is one of bandleader Al Kooper 's most enduring works. The album introduced the idea of the Big Band to rock and roll and paved the way for such groups as Chicago . Kooper left the band after this album, changing the nature of the group. ''Child Is Father to the Man'' peaked at #47 on Billboard 's (North America) Pop Albums chart. It failed to generate any Top 40 singles in the United States, although "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know" and "I Can't Quit Her" found some play on Progressive Rock Radio . The title is a quotation from a poem by William Wordsworth called "The Rainbow".
