Page "Alexis Korner" Paragraph 11

In 1970 Korner and Thorup formed a big-band ensemble, C. C. S.

-short for " The Collective Consciousness Society "-which had several hit singles produced by Mickie Most, including a version of Led Zeppelin's " Whole Lotta Love ", which was used as the theme for BBC's Top Of The Pops between 1971 and 1981.

Another instrumental called " Brother " was used as the theme to the BBC Radio 1 Top 20 / 40 when Tom Browne / Simon Bates presented the programme in the 1970s.

This was the period of Korner's greatest commercial success in the UK.
