Tommy Tutone is an American rock/power pop band, known for its 1981 song "867-5309/Jenny", which peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. The band's lead singer and rhythm guitarist is Tommy Heath. Heath grew up in Philadelphia, Texas, and Montana before moving to San Francisco during the Summer of Love to become a hippie. There, he formed the band with Jim Keller and Terry Nails in 1978, naming it after his nickname. The band's first single, "Angel Say No", was released in 1980 and reached the top 40, and they opened for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers on his US tour for Damn the Torpedoes. The band's second album, Tommy Tutone 2, was released in 1981 and featured "867-5309/Jenny". The song became so popular it inspired a nationwide fad for prank calls to the telephone number. In 2006, VH1 named it the 36th-greatest song of the 1980s.
