#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

#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.

The Tornados
“Granada”/“Ragunboneman”
(UK, 15th Jan 1965)

B: song.link/gb/i/1439724...
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
