The Tornados were an English instrumental group of the 1960s that acted as backing group for many of record producer Joe Meek's productions and also for singer Billy Fury. They enjoyed several chart hits in their own right, including the UK and U.S. no.1 "Telstar" (named after the satellite and composed and produced by Meek), the first U.S. #1 single by a British group.

The Tornados (Dave Watts version) still perform concerts around the UK and Europe; the band consists of Dave Watts (keyboards), Shaun Corrigan on guitar for '60s band the Symbols ("The Best Part of Breaking Up"), Pete Gill on bass from '60s band The Rebounds, Jamie Thurston (vocals/guitar from ITV Heartbeat tour, "ITVtheRoyal") and Tristan Long on drums (performed with Gareth Gates, Deacon Blue, Midge Ure, SKIN, Halloween, Foundations, Fortunes, etc.).

"Telstar" is a 1962 instrumental written and produced by Joe Meek for the English band the Tornados.

The track reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in December 1962 (the second British recording to reach No. 1 on that chart in the year, after "Stranger on the Shore" in May), and was also a number one hit in the UK Singles Chart.

It was the second instrumental single to hit No. 1 in 1962 on both the US and UK weekly charts.
