Music videos that feature Thunderbirds

[gearHed289]

I still miss Dennis' Barry Manilow looks (and sometimes songwriting style!). He was such an integral part. I used to make fun of his Broadway musical type voice, but it gave them a lot of identity.

I've developed a greater appreciation for Mr. DeYoung in my older years. He was the one that made them. And he still sounds amazing today. Also, his keyboard playing never seems to get a mention. Very good player and he used good sounds.

From his new solo album, declared by him to be his last ...

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but there's a quick glimpse of a Thunderbird at 2:34.

This one was a pure surprise! A little bit funny, and... ehrrrmm.. a litte bit embarrasing. For our kind of people...

Good stuff. Made my morning, thank you. Nice sounding bird too. Wonder how he ended up with the upside down truss rod cover?

Here's our Hero. Terry Slater. https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk00nbfu441kRv7FeFw0Ng-CEIiz_6g%3A1612368614175&ei=5soaYOGdCsPMrgT7p5roDA&q=terry+slater+bass&oq=terry+slater+bass&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQAzIGCAAQFhAeOgkIABCwAxAHEB46BQgAELADOgcIABCwAxAeOgkIABCwAxAKEB46CAguEMsBEJMCOgUIABDLAToFCC4QywFQ5IABWPGHAWCFjQFoAXAAeACAAdIBiAG1BZIBBTQuMS4xmAEAoAEBqgEHZ3dzLXdpesgBCsABAQ&sclient=psy-ab&ved=0ahUKEwjhqPqTjc7uAhVDposKHfuTBs0Q4dUDCA0&uact=5

Looks like he added a second strap button at the neck joint, the one on the top horn isn't being used.

[Pilgrim]

Cute bit of video!

I like the comment about "no relation to Gomer Pyle."  That actually fits nicely. The gent had a very expressive face.

I believe he watched a lot of Stan Laurel. Who was a genius.

[Basvarken]

seems like a lovely chap

[OldManC]

That was a great clip! I'm a Terry Slater fan now.

[Stjofön Big]

The same goes for me! Such a nice guy! Never heard is name before I saw that clip of So sad. Which is really tru. So sad he's not more known, he ought to be!

[Basvarken]

Never heard of him until yesterday.
I read he did make quite a name for himself in the music industry. He wrote a lot of hits for the Everly Bros. (ao Bowling Green)

I found this on Facebook:
Terry Slater (born in London, England) is an English former musician and music manager.
As young he played as a concert musician for bands like Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Little Richard and the Everly Brothers and others. After many years as a concert musician, he began in 1972 and working in the music industry commercial side, including a career in EMI in England, where he eventually finished as director in 1979. He worked with bands and artists such as Queen, Kate Bush, Sex Pistols and Duran Duran. He stopped for a while and worked independently in search of talented bands.
§Slater and a-ha [edit | edit source]
Slater was the one who "discovered" the Norwegian pop band a-ha, and is often called "the fourth member of a-ha." With his long experience in the music industry, he became the band's first manager, and played a vital role in the history of a-ha. Along with John Ratcliff, he founded the company TJ Management to take care of a-ha.
Cooperation ended after the album Memorial Beach from 1993. At Minor Earth Major Sky from 2000, the band's first album after a seven-year break, it was Brian Lane and his Bandana Management which accounted for Management.

Yes, Terry is a household name for us up here!

...

FYI, Bowling Green was co-written by Jackie Ertel Everly, who was married to Phil at the time. She's the daughter of Janet Ertel of the Chordettes and stepdaughter of Archie Bleyer, who was an orchestra leader and founder/owner of Cadence Records, whose two featured artists were the Everlys and the Chordettes. Keeping it in the family.

In Link Wray's almost certainly fictional account, it was Jackie who convinced her stepfather to issue Rumble.
