The Corporation was an English pop group that was active in the 1980s and formed by musicians previously in popular, hit making, English bands of the 1960s.
Career
The group consisted of Tony Crane (of The Merseybeats), Clem Curtis (of The Foundations), Mike Pender (of The Searchers), Brian Poole (of The Tremeloes) and Reg Presley (of The Troggs).
They released a single in 1988, a remake of The Showstoppers' old hit "Ain't Nothing But a House Party" on the Corporation Records label. They briefly named themselves The Travelling Wrinklies, which was a dig at the Anglo-American all-star group The Traveling Wilburys.
