Artist Bio:
Tommy Tutone is an American rock band known for their hit song "867-5309/Jenny," released in 1981. The band was formed in 1978 in California by Tommy Heath and Jim Keller, who were the primary songwriters for the group. "867-5309/Jenny" became a major success, reaching the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and becoming a classic rock anthem. Despite the band's popularity, they were unable to replicate the success of their hit single and eventually disbanded in the mid-1980s. Tommy Tutone's legacy largely rests on the enduring popularity of "867-5309/Jenny," which has continued to be a staple of classic rock radio and pop culture references.
Since the breakup of Tommy Tutone, Tommy Heath has continued to perform as a solo artist and occasionally reunites with Jim Keller for live performances. The band's name is most commonly associated with their one-hit wonder status, but their contribution to 1980s rock music remains significant due to the lasting impact of "867-5309/Jenny."
