Davie Paton and Billy Lyall were part of a very exciting Edinburgh music scene and both spent time in an early version of The Bay City Rollers before Pilot ... According to ex bandmates in the Rollers, Davie Paton was immensely talented and would be the one to teach new band members how to play the songs, regardless of which instrument, as he knew it all .... Pilot is the rare band that you can listen to every song and appreciate it equally

This was penned by Pilot’s lead singer, David Paton, and produced by the one and only Alan Parsons. It reached #1 in the UK on January 28, 1975. David Paton recalled : “My wife was reading a book and the main character was called January. She told me this and I wrote the chorus with that in mind. The verse was about how I felt at the time with the success of ‘Magic.’ I didn’t write the song in January, it was in October, just after the release of ‘Magic.” It was quickly recorded as the next single. We were recording the album ‘Second Flight’ in Air Studios in London when ‘January’ got to #1. I didn’t know the song was #1 until I arrived at the studio where I was greeted with handshakes and congratulations.” The Scottish band were formed by David Paton and Billy Lyall. They were joined by Stuart Tosh and Ian Bairnson. They achieved transatlantic success with their single “Magic” in 1974, before “January” topped the UK chart in 1975. Pilot followed it up with their only other UK single chart hits “Call Me Round” and “Just A Smile” (1975). After they split up in 1978, Tosh, Paton and Bairnson became part of the Alan Parsons Project, and Tosh also worked with 10cc. HATS 🎩 OFF, FELLOWS‼️ May you rest in peace, William Lyall (1953 - 1989)… 🌹
