Richard Anthony Hewson talks though his debut single created and released as The RAH Band in 1977. The Crunch was a Top 10 hit around the world, peaking at #6 in the charts and becoming an '80s mainstay, influencing the future of pop music. Keep watching to hear the legendary story of the song being performed on Top Of The Pops!

This YouTube series is a world exclusive with the legendary, yet illusive, man behind The RAH Band. Richard Anthony Hewson is 85 years old and still makes music every day. Following a strict regime, he heads to his home studio every morning where he still uses the same analog synths, drum machines and fx from his 80s era. His incredible story has never been told in full, until now... This series reveals the tales of one of the UK’s most endearing and prolific composers, and possibly the most unlikely global viral sensation of recent years.
