by Clive Young T.C. Furlong has been a well-known name in pro audio for 40 years, but few realize that he once had a Top-15 hit as a member of The Jump 'N The Saddle Band. While his eponymous company has been a prominent pro audio retailer and events production vendor in the Chicago area for decades, in 1983, Furlong had a second career as the pedal steel player for the regional country pop act when it had a national hit with the novelty song, "The Curly Shuffle," a goofy tribute to The Three Stooges that Furlong also co-produced. We asked him how the song came about, and the result was a quintessential tale of one-hit wonderdom.
