Lydia is the only original member but all of the current players are great and have been in the band for 10 or more years.

When you hear "I'm A Good Woman" or "I Just Wanna Make Love To You" I
think some of it will come back to you.

"Lydia Pense & Cold Blood" still gig. I don't know who other than her
is still there from the first album in 1969 (horn players?), but the
current lineup is terrific and they gig a lot. Periodically there's
even new studio material, which is not that important for a nostalgia
act with a strong back catalog, but the new stuff is every bit as good
as what they delivered back in the day.
