Tommy Tutone Biography

"The early '80s power pop band Tommy Tutone, led by vocalist Tommy Heath and guitarist Jim Keller, topped the charts with the popular single ""867-5309/Jenny,"" although the band failed to match the catchy single's popularity and consequently disbanded in 1983. Heath used the band's name in the early ‘90s for an album of new material as well as a collection of Tommy Tutone recordings.Tommy Heath was an Air Force brat who was first influenced by Buddy Holly and Elvis while in grade school in Texas before branching out into the surf and folk genres as a teenager in Montana and eventually catching Beatlemania while attending college in Japan. Heath and Keller released Tommy Tutone's first single, ""Angel Say No,"" in 1980 and would release three albums (1980's Tommy Tutone and Tommy Tutone 2 and 1983'd National Emotion) before breaking up. In 1994 Heath released the pop-meets-R&B album Nervous Love and continues to write, record and perform while working as a software engineer by day. A string of compilations and albums for Tommy Tutone followed in the ‘90s, such as 1997's Golden Classics- Tommy Tutone 1&2, 1998's Rick Text Files, and more.Tommy Tutone remains most famous for the one-hit wonder ""867-5309/Jenny,"" which everyone remembers despite perhaps not being able to keep the numbers in the correct order! ""867-5309/Jenny"" peaked at the number four spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1982 and has since remained atop the one-hit wonder list, thus Tommy Tutone is a regular on various Where Are They Now and other VH1 specials. Don't dismiss Tommy Tutone so fast, as the band also produced other enjoyable pop tunes, like ""Jenny's Calling,"" ""The Grifter's Prayer,"" ""Everybody Else Is Wrong,"" ""Lynn's Song"" and ""The World Ain't Flat."""
