Climax Blues Band (originally known as the Climax Chicago Blues Band) was formed in Stafford, England in 1968. The original members were guitarists Peter Haycock and Derek Holt; keyboardist Arthur Wood; bassist Richard Jones; drummer George Newsome; and vocalist and harmonica player, Colin Cooper. In 1970, the group shortened its name to the Climax Blues Band due to pressure from the American band, Chicago Transit Authority.

- Climax Blues Band (originally known as the Climax Chicago Blues Band) was formed in Stafford, England in 1968. The original members were guitarists Peter Haycock and Derek Holt; keyboardist Arthur Wood; bassist Richard Jones; drummer George Newsome; and vocalist and harmonica player, Colin Cooper. In 1970, the group shortened its name to the Climax Blues Band due to pressure from the American band, Chicago Transit Authority. The band has released at least seventeen albums and had a Top 10 hit in the UK with "Couldn't Get It Right". That song and "I Love You" were American hits as well; "Couldn't Get It Right" reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1977, and "I Love You" peaked at #12 in 1981.
- Im Laufe der Zeit gab es etliche weitere Umbesetzungen (beispielsweise übernahm John Cuffley das Schlagzeug, Anton Farmer die Keyboards). 1972 änderte die Band ihren Namen in Climax Blues Band, um Verwechslungen mit der US-amerikanischen Band Chicago vorzubeugen. Der kommerzielle Durchbruch gelang ihnen mit dem Stamp Album (1975) und dem Hit Couldn't Get It Right vom Album Gold Plated (1976). In den 1980er Jahren ließ der Erfolg allmählich nach, nicht zuletzt nach dem Ausstieg Pete Haycocks 1984. Im Jahr 1993 gab es ein Comeback mit dem Album Blues From The Attic. Die Climax Blues Band machte auch danach noch weiter, wobei von der Originalbesetzung nur noch Multiinstrumentalist und Bandleader Cooper dabei war. Wie auf der Website der Band bekanntgegeben wurde, starb Colin Cooper am 3. Juli 2008 in Stafford.
