“In 1971 after my return from living in New York, Heavy Turbulence was born.
I was running in a turbulence of heavy musicians and singers. Looking back
17 years, I think I named the album correctly. On two tracks, Welcome To
The Basement and Man Child, I used one of the first Yamaha Synthesizers
known as YC30 – this was one of the first Yamaha Synthesizers to be recorded”.
In an interview with Sandy Troy in the 90s Saunders recalled an event which
arose from Heavy Turbulence: “I’ll never forget when we [Legion Of Mary]
played the Bottom Line in the spring of 1975. We did three shows in three
days and the place was jampacked. We were playing and the audience was just
freaking out, and all of a sudden we hear all the noise stop. We hear ‘oooh,’
and we see a flash go by into the dressing room. We look at each other
because we didn’t know who went in there. When we went into the dressing
room John Lennon was sitting there. We were shocked. He came to thank us
for doing his number ‘Imagine’, on my album Heavy Turbulence. I had done
the first cover version of his song”.
