#QuickSidenote After 3 weeks atop the US #Billboard #Top40 in late '62/early '63, "Telstar" by The Tornados was dethroned by the Gerry Goffin/Carol King-penned "Go Away Little Girl" by Steve Lawrence... #TheTornados #SteveLawrence #OneHitWondered
#Interestingly Guitarist George Bellamy’s surging rhythm work helped drive “Telstar.” His musical DNA didn’t stop there: his son is Matt Bellamy of Muse, whose sci-fi-leaning rock can be directly linked back to the futuristic feel of “Telstar.” #MattBellamy #Muse #TheTornados #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly The Tornados were an English instrumental group put together in 1961 as Joe Meek’s in-house band, backing his artists as well as recording their own singles. They sat right at the crossroads of early ’60s rock & roll, surf, & ‘space age’ pop. #TheTornados #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly Just a quick afterthought… George Bellamy, the rhythm guitarist for The Tornados, has a rather famous son… frontman/guitarist #MattBellamy of #Muse. #GeorgeBellamy #TheTornados #MattBellamy #Muse #OneHitWondered
#Interestingly In 1962, NASA launched Telstar 1, the World’s 1st active communications satellite… inspiring record producer Joe Meek to write & produce the space-age instrumental “Telstar.” It spent 13 weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40 in '62, including 3 at #1! #TheTornados #JoeMeek #OneHitWondered
👉 Happy Birthday. Today, Oct 8, 1941 – #GeorgeBellamy, English singer, guitarist ( #TheTornados ), and producer was born.

#TheTornados stonden in 1962 5 weken op 1 in de UK met 'Telstar'. Met deze instrumentale song werden ze ook de eerste Britse groep die op 1 kwam in de USA.

By this point #TheTornados were a vehicle for #JoeMeek’s musical whims. Both tracks are fun and the organ-fuelled, Meek-penned B-side marks the band’s first full vocal recording.
A little something different. While I usually draw Matt Bellamy, I decided to give his dad a try. More on my IG #georgebellamy #thetornados
