How many people realise that the singer in Thunderclap Newman was Pete Townsend?

I didn't, I had to look on Wiki to confirm it.

Always hated that song, along with "All right now" by Free.

Wiki says otherwise...

"Something in the Air", which Keen wrote for the film, The Magic Christian, was number one in the UK Singles Chart for three weeks, holding off Elvis Presley and the Beatles' "Ballad of John and Yoko" in the process. Originally titled "Revolution", but later renamed because The Beatles had released a song of that name in 1968 (the B-side of "Hey Jude"), "Something in the Air" captured post-flower power rebellion, marrying McCulloch's electric rhythm and lead guitars, Keen's drumming and falsetto, Newman's piano solo and Townshend's (uncredited) electric bass. By December 1969, the single was awarded a gold disc for world sales of more than a million.

Oh. That's odd because I'm sure I also also checked that fact with Wiki when I first heard it.... maybe I read that it was Townsend's band and I assumed the rest?
