From 23 March 1944 until 6 June 2023, English musician Tony McPhee lived. He founded the blues rock band Groundhogs, who opened for John Lee Hooker and Champion Jack Dupree in the UK in the middle of the 1960s. Tony (T.S.) McPhee is a common alias for him. Producer Mike Vernon suggested that McPhee append the letters “T.S.” to his name to make it sound more like a real blues name when McPhee released the duet tune “Get Your Head Happy!” with Champion Jack Dupree in 1966.
The Groundhogs, a blues-rock group that had three UK Top 10 hits on the UK Albums Chart early in the 1970s, underwent a transition. Nevertheless, they have been playing in various lineups up until this moment.
