CCS, also known as C.C.S., was a British musical group led by blues guitarist Alexis Korner. The name stands for Collective Consciousness Society. Formed in 1970 by musical director John Cameron and producer Mickie Most, the band comprised session musicians including Peter Thorup (vocals), Alan Parker (guitar), Harold McNair (flute), Herbie Flowers (bass), Roger Coulam (keyboards), and Barry Morgan (drums). CCS is best known for their instrumental version of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love," which entered the UK Singles Chart in 1970 and was used as the theme for BBC's "Top of the Pops." Their single "Tap Turns on the Water" reached number 5 on the UK Singles Chart in 1971. The band released three albums: "CCS" (1970), "CCS 2" (1972), and "The Best Band in the Land" (1973).
