Biography

Terry Draper rose to success in virtual anonymity as a member of the 1970s trio Klaatu, which caused a stir throughout the music business when their mysterious 1976 self-titled debut sparked massive media conjecture that the group was, in fact, a reconstituted Beatles. The album became a major hit, but when Klaatu was finally revealed to be a Canadian band with no real connection to the Fab Four their success waned, and they disbanded in 1981. Draper, the group's drummer, subsequently entered the roofing business, but returned to music in 1997 with the release of his solo debut Light Years Later, which featured guest appearances by his former Klaatu mates Dee Long and John Woloschuk. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Terry Draper was the drummer and one of three songwriters for the 70s rock band Klaatu. He went on to record several solo albums in his home studio in Oak Ridges, Ontario.

Draper co-wrote the song "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft", which was not only successful with his band Klaatu, but it also became a Top-40 hit when The Carpenters re-made it in 1977.
