 Thunderclap Newman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Guitarist Jimmy McCulloch was just a sixteen at the time, 'Speedy' Keen was an untried songwriter from the Ealing/Perivale area of London who'd previously been in pre-July act The Tomcats in 1965, as drummer and Andy 'Thunderclap' Newman was a plump ex-post office engineer.
The last thing they represented was a slick rock group, but their debut 45, Something In The Air, written by Keen, remains an all-time classic, a wonderfully atmospheric song which superbly captured the changing mood of the late sixties and simply boiled over with optimism.
Jimmy McCulloch went on to join Stone The Crows and Wings, whilst Newman and Keen both made solo albums but with little success.

The record was so impressive, benefitting more than a little from the quirky piano style of Andy 'Thunderclap' Newman himself, that the band usually performed it live with an extra pair of musicians (Pitman Avory and Jack McCulloch) added to the group.
Sadly, the group were never able to repeat the success of their original single and despite one minor hit in 1970 the group split at the end of that year.
Jimmy McCulloch eventually joined Paul McCartney's 'Wings' and John 'Speedy' Keen began a solo career, as did Newman, before concentrating on producing.

 Bette Midler: No Frills (1983)
What makes it not good enough is the curse of Broadway rock and roll--the beat is conceived as decoration or signal rather than the meaning of life, or even music.
Instead of silly pop smut ("Let Me Drive"), tepid technopop ("Is It Love") and preciously arty nostalgia ("Soda and a Souvenir," "Come Back Jimmy Dean"), Midler should have gone for the moon and stuck with songs that measure up to her own gigantic talents.
When Bette Midler stormed straight from the Continental Bath houses to the radio airwaves with "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," her sassy, larger than-life persona was impossible to ignore.
