In 1982, Richard Branson ventured into novelty music production with the release of "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" by The Singing Sheep. The track, featuring Jeff Mutton, was a humorous, quirky record that combined animal sounds—primarily sheep bleats—set to a drum track. Despite its novelty, the song managed to gain attention and reached number 42 on the UK Singles Chart.
This lighthearted and unconventional project highlighted Branson's willingness to explore diverse and offbeat ideas in the entertainment industry, even outside mainstream music. While not a major success, the record became a notable footnote in Branson's eclectic career in the music business.
