Trevor Oakes (born 9 September 1946) is an English retired Glam rock guitarist and songwriter.. Oakes is best known for being the guitarist and saxophonist for Showaddywaddy, a band he was in from 1973 until 2009.
The same year he signed Showaddywaddy to Bell Records and produced a string of UK hit singles for them. These included "Under the Moon of Love", "Three Steps to Heaven" and "When". Following his success with Showaddywaddy, he produced Modern Priscilla (1978), a disco album for Cilla Black, and early recordings by Bruce Woolley and the Camera Club.
"Heartbeat" subsequently reached the UK top 10 twice. Firstly in 1975 for Showaddywaddy, number 7 that September, [3] and again in 1992 when Nick Berry's version, recorded as the theme to the television series Heartbeat, in which he starred, reached number 2 that June. [4] Tommy Allsup played the lead guitar part on the recording.
In 1976 the song was revived by rock and roll revival act Showaddywaddy and became a major hit in the UK. The Mike Hurst-produced version went on to spend three weeks at the top of the UK Singles Chart in December that year, [3] and has since sold over a million copies in the UK. [4] It was the band's last song to be released on Bell Records. [5]
