I might have committed suicide in 1978 except for hearing this song on the radio first and deciding I would at least wait until after I loosing my virginity. It was only a year later, but it was a very long year....it's not that I think anyone is that interested in my measly life, but the way this song is so firmly planted in my adolescence.... and that we were all emotionally wobbly teenagers.

Jay Ferguson was keyboard player for 60's/70's Rock Band Spirit and for Jo Jo Gunne one of the hardest rockin bands of the early 1970's (that got little airplay because Hard Boogie Rock was not very cool on Rock Radio back then. (Emphasis was on Blues Rock and Progressive Rock). Thunder Island was a Pop Hit but it was also played on AOR (Rock) radio as was the followup hit "Shakedown Cruise" but neither stuck around in most station's rock stations library material.

Robert Alpert on the Keys ! Awesome!!!!

Jay looks like Andrew Gold.
Nothing like having a band that can pull it off live, vocals and everything.
one of the most underrated songs of the 70's. The way the song is produced it still holds up today. This and "Lonely Boy" are two of the most perfect songs ever. These guys rocked! I mean watch them actually perform a song! Bands today should be jealous of songs like this. So many layers of goodness.
