#ThunderclapNewman rehearsing, sounding pretty great, in the rather fruity, rather seedy 1971 film Not Tonight, Darling.

#Interestingly “Something in the Air,” written & sung by Speedy Keen, was released in 1969 & exploded in the UK, hitting #1 for three weeks in July of that year… Here in the US, it topped out at #37. It was their lone US #Billboard #Top40 hit. #ThunderclapNewman #SpeedyKeen #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly Pete Townshend sparked the whole project to showcase his long-time buddy Speedy Keen’s songs. He produced… arranged… and, yes, even played bass under the pseudonym ‘Bijou Drains.’ Rock star guitarist by day, stealth bassist by night. #PeteTownshend #ThunderclapNewman #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly Jimmy McCulloch’s breakout came when Pete Townshend handpicked him for Thunderclap Newman, joining Pete’s buddies Andy ‘Thunderclap’ Newman & John ‘Speedy’ Keen. (Townshend would play bass & produce on their hit “Something in the Air”). #ThunderclapNewman #OneHitWondered

Day 89
#SomethingInTheAir by #ThunderclapNewman (1969)
I missed this track when I was growing up, and eventually heard it in 1979. Just listened to it again on @radiocaroline.bsky.social and it reminded me what a great track it is.

#OneHitHistory Remembering Scottish guitar prodigy Jimmy McCulloch, #BOTD in 1953, whose brilliance was tragically cut short at the age of 26. Huge talent, brief stardom, haunting what-ifs… #JimmyMcCulloch #ThunderclapNewman #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
