Together they’ve created some truly amazing art.ġ0. Also, if you’re interested in going deeper into the musical world of Breaking Bad, I suggest you check out our interview with the show’s composer, Dave Porter, and keep your ears peeled for our upcoming interview with the musical supervisor Thomas Golubić. It’s by no means a comprehensive list, I seriously regret not being able to squeeze “ Bonfire” or f*cking Todd’s ringtone on here. So here, without the benefit of the season finale, are the ten best musical moments in the show’s five (six?) seasons. And though it’s hard to know what, exactly, the showrunners have in store for us next week, I don’t see how they could possibly top what when on last night.

“I’m so very happy to have chosen New Zealand as my home and I thank people for making me very, very welcome as they have done.This week’s excellent episode of Breaking Bad ended with one of the world’s greatest TV musical moments. Epic - 510531P On A Clear Day You Can See Forever / Comin Home Baby Expertly utilised in hit series Breaking Bad to soundtrack Walt and Jesses meth manufacturing, The Peddlers On A Clear Day You Can See Forever is a sumptuous smooth soul journey - full of exquisite organ solos and deep vocal tones. The Peddlers broke up in the late seventies and since then Phillips has pursued a solo career and has no regrets settling in New Zealand. “Most people thought The Peddlers were a brand-new band,” Phillips says. ‘On a Clear Day’ used in Breaking Bad being just such an example. “Because in those days we were known for taking standards and adding orchestral things and quite unusual things with these songs.” “Fans started writing to me via my website suggesting that I relive some of the old Peddlers styles and songs. “It’s three albums, 27 numbers, recorded here in our home studio which we’ve entitled the Groove Room. Phillips is still recording and playing and has a trilogy of standards coming out this year. “We had to stop so we used to go down to the BBC bar, which was the best bar in London … we had an hour down there and the world was beautifully hazy and we went back into the studio and believe it or not we did three takes of ‘Girlie’ and that was it.” The band took a break and repaired to the BBC bar in Portland Place near the studios.

“IBC was next door to the Chinese embassy and at 9 o’clock the Chinese Embassy used to send Morse Code back to wherever and it would come through the studio electronics.” The song was recorded at IBC studios in London, he says. “I was just embarking upon my song writing career and I took this poem to a guy called Ken Clancy who was the head of CBS and he said can you put some music to it?” ‘Girlie’ started life as a poem, he says.

“I loved the whole place and in 1981 I came over here to live and lived in Lynfield in Auckland for a while then moved up to the Bay of islands and lived there for 12 years.” That trip to New Zealand was turning point for Phillips, who says he fell in love with the country. “We played every place imaginable and thoroughly loved it.” “We’d just finished a stint in the States and a call came through to say that 'Girlie' was number 1, we were on our way home and Phillip Warren our promoter here offered us 12-week tour of just about everywhere in New Zealand. When 'Girlie' hit the charts in New Zealand the band were playing shows in the United States, he says. In the end that organ of mine was held together by gaffer tape it was smashed, dropped and goodness knows what and still played.” That Hammond Organ got a lot of punishment over many years touring, Phillips told Jim Mora. The Peddlers music was introduced to a whole new audience with the arrangement of 'On A Clear Day' featuring on the hit TV show Breaking Bad. The Peddlers were a major act in the 1960s and 1970s with their jazz infused music featuring Phillips front and centre on Hammond Organ and vocals.
