That Thing You Do!
This is a story about a band that was formed one year after the Beatles became a household name in America. Guy Patterson is a jazz guru who works in an appliance shop and becomes a member of the Oneders, a band later renamed The Wonders after Chad, formerly the regular drummer, breaks his arm. Guy adds rock music to Jimmy’s song, causing the Wonders to experience a short burst of pop success. This is the story of many American bands that tried to get the rock and roll ring in the aftermath of the British Invasion. –Rick Gregory
