"Thunder Island" is the lead single off of the album Thunder Island by Jay Ferguson. The song reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978. Despite the song's fairly high position on the music charts, the song receives little rotation on most modern classic rock radio stations, although it is Ferguson's most well-known song. It features American musician Joe Walsh on guitar. As this was Ferguson's only major hit as a solo artist, he is often tagged a one-hit wonder - however, he achieved a minor hit with the song "Shakedown Cruise" in 1979, which reached #31 on the Hot 100.^[1]
