My first choice is a couple produced by Joe Meek who was a famous British songwriter and producer of the 60’s and made a new and pioneering sound. Regrettably he killed himself in 1967 with a shotgun aged 37 years old, his most famous work was an instrumental called ‘Telstar’ performed by the Tornadoes and had a unique sound for its day and you can really imagine the satellite whizzing around the earth. Another hit was “Johnny Remember Me” by John Leyton, compare the similarity of the sound, at the time it was revolutionary!.

Oh how I used to wish I was John Leyton, spent hours singing in the bathroom to replicate that sound
