Hello People was a rock group that was created in New York City in late 1967 by producer Lou Futterman.
The idea for creating the group stemmed from Marcel Carné's 1945 film Children of Paradise (Les Enfants du Paradis).
On one episode they played an off-key version of the Tonight Show theme and pantomimed Carson's monologue and golf swing.
[4][5] The band were the main focus for TEAC's 1974 Homemade With TEAC LP, with the band members being interviewed about, and demonstrating their process of home recording, including overdubs and track-syncing, teaching amateur Audio Engineers how to make Home Recordings using the Teac/Tascam reel-to-reel 4-track decks.
[8] Hello People performed as Todd Rundgren's back-up band and background vocalists, and did solo spots on some of his early tours in the 1970s.
