We give you the band Thunderclap Newman, named after their pianist. The drummer was formerly the Who’s chauffeur; Pete Townshend produced this single (a UK #1) and played bass here under an assumed name. The group’s guitarist was teenager Jimmy McCulloch, who was with Paul McCartney and Wings in the mid 70’s (i.e., the lead on “Junior’s Farm” - “Take me down, Jimmy”) before he died at 26 from heart failure. This tune is a standard on album rock radio.
