Reelin’ in the Years 217: Neanderthal Man

The band Hotlegs was a kind of precursor to 10cc. The trio who recorded this (Eric Stewart, Lol Crème and Kevin Godley) all went on to be in that group as did Graham Gouldman who was a member of Hotlegs but unable to play on this for contractual reasons.

A guy who went on to become Elton John.
