“ The Tornados were an English instrumental group of the 1960s that acted as backing group for many of record producer Joe Meek's productions and also for singer Billy Fury. They enjoyed several chart hits in their own right, including the UK and U.S. Number One "Telstar" (named after the satellite and composed by Meek), the first U.S. #1 by a British group.Career
From January 1962 to August 1963, The Tornados were the backing band of Billy Fury; they toured and recorded with him as The Tornados. Their recordings were produced by Mike Smith and Ivor Raymonde.
The Tornados made a scopitone film (an early form of music video) for "Telstar" and another for their chart hit "Robot" featuring members of the group walking around woodland dressed in appropriate headgear with their guitars, flirting with various young women and being finally arrested by policemen after lighting a campfire.
For a time the Tornados were considered serious rivals to The Shadows. The Tornados single "Globetrotter" made it to number 5 in the UK Singles Chart but Meek induced bassist Heinz Burt to leave for a solo career and in 1963 the group began to fall apart. By 1965 none of the original lineup remained. [......] ”
