At barely 16 years old, Jimmy McCulloch earned US #OneHitWonder honors in 1969 as the lead guitarist for Thunderclap Newman. Their Speedy Keen-penned “Something In The Air” spent 2 weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40, peaking at #37. #JimmyMcCulloch #ThunderclapNewman #MusicSky

Remembering Scottish guitar phenom Jimmy McCulloch, who was found dead #OTD in 1979. His brilliance was tragically cut short when he was found dead in his flat in London at the age of 26. Huge talent, brief stardom, haunting what-ifs… #JimmyMcCulloch #ThunderclapNewman #Wings #OneHitWondered
