The Shadows - Wonderful Land (1962) 4K
The Shadows performing "Wonderful Land", released originally in 1962.
It reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart, #1 in New Zealand, #1 in Israel, #1 in Ireland, and #1 in South Africa.
"Wonderful Land" was a reference to America. This British instrumental piece was written by Jerry Lordan, who also wrote two other UK chart-toppers: "Apache" for The Shadows and "Diamonds" for ex-Shadows Jet Harris and Tony Meehan. This was the first Shadows track to feature an instrumental backing.
Bruce Welch added that Norrie Paramour was a great help to the band, adding French horns, strings, and a little vocal bit to the track, making it a classic record. It was the first time that a rock group had used an orchestra and it was #1 for weeks. Lordan revealed that the title was not his and he did not like it; Hank Marvin came up with the title, "Wonderful Land", referring to America. Lordan wished he could have come up with something better.
The Shadows were in a period of transition when the song was released. By the time of the song's release, drummer Tony Meehan had left the group and been replaced by Brian Bennett, who co-wrote the B-side "Stars Fell on Stockton" with the rest of the group. The group was also transitioning with Jet Harris leaving to be replaced by Brian Locking.
The Shadows are a British rock group who are known for their instrumental rock and roll music. They were formed in 1958 and were hugely popular in the 1960s. They had numerous hit singles and were an influential band in the development of British music.
