Apollo 100 - Reach For The Sky (Joy) [1972-73 Instrumental] LP (1979) To Mp3 256 mbit/s Included: LP Front Cover and this Info Apollo 100 was a short-lived British instrumental studio based group that had a hit with the Johann Sebastian Bach-inspired single "Joy" in 1972. Arranger Tom Parker put together the band in 1972, with drummer Clem Cattini, guitarist Vic Flick, guitarist Zed Jenkins, percussionist Jim Lawless and bassist Brian Odgers. Their first single, "Joy", based on Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring", rose to number 6 on the pop singles chart in the US. None of their subsequent efforts was as successful, and they broke up in 1973. "Joy" has subsequently been featured in the soundtracks of the films One Day in September, Boogie Nights and The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Biography by Bruce Eder Apollo 100 was the short-lived 1970's successor to such 1960's instrumental groups as the Tornados and Sounds Incorporated. Tom Parker, an arranger from Newcastle, recruited the group, whose other members were ex-Tornados drummer Clem Cattini, guitarist Vic Flick (of "James Bond Theme" fame), guitarist Zed Jenkins, percussionist Jim Lawless, and bassist Brian Odgers. The group made its debut with "Joy", a single based on Bach's "Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring", on which they were accompanied by an orchestra. The record was a hit in America, rising to the top 10 on the pop singles chart. They followed it up with an LP and a second single, neither of which sold in serious quantities. The group was history by 1973, though the single is still fondly remembered by 70's AM radio listeners. Tracklist: 01. Joy 02. Walk In The Black Forest 03. Orange Blossom Special 04. Lady Madonna 05.
