Title: Goodbye Andy
Post by: tikay on April 05, 2016, 11:49:08 AM

We lost another last week, a chap by the name of Andy Newman. 

He featured in one of the most memorable one-hit wonders ever, as Thunderclap Newman in "Something in the Air", he was the pianist for that oh-so-memorable solo midway through.

After that, he happily returned to semi-obscurity, but he was quite the character & one of the most unlikely looking pop stars ever.

RIP Andy.

Oh my - they had an album called Hollywood Dream or Dreams - its brilliant in relation to its time.  Much like the single imbedded above its a great cross over piece of that era.  I love music of this time when people tried to push the electronic era through simple sound manipulation pre computers.
