Information About

Pilot (band)





CAREER

Joined by Stuart Tosh and Ian Bairnson , the band recorded several demos over the course of 1973 and 1974, eventually catching the attention of EMI Records .

The 1974 single " Magic " from their Debut album was a #11 UK and #5 US hit and remains a pop classic. The simple but catchy pop ditty "January" gave them their biggest hit, securing the #1 spot in the UK Singles Chart in January 1975 .

The band's only other chart hits were "Call Me Round" and "Just A Smile" (both 1975). By the time 1977 came around only Paton and Bairnson were left from the original foursome, and they recorded Pilot's final album (the aptly entitled ''Two's a Crowd'') alone.

By 1978, all of Pilot's members had moved on to other projects, notably Tosh, Paton and Bairnson becoming core members of the Alan Parsons Project , and Tosh also working with 10cc .
