'''Martin Albert Mulry''' (2 September 1947{{spaced ndash}}1 September 2001), known professionally as '''Ted Mulry''', was an English-born Australian singer, songwriter, bass player and guitarist. As a solo artist, his second single, "Falling in Love Again" (February 1971), reached No. 11 on the ''Go-Set'' National Top 60. From September 1972 he led his own band, '''Ted Mulry Gang''', which were also credited as '''TMG'''. They had a number-one hit single on the Kent Music Report with "Jump in My Car" (September 1975) and top ten appearances with a cover version of "Darktown Strutters' Ball" (February 1976), and with "Jamaica Rum" (January 1977) and "My Little Girl" (May). Their second album, ''Struttin{{'}}'' (May 1976), also reached the top ten. The group disbanded in 1986, although periodically reformed. Mulry announced in February 2001 that he had been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour. In the next month numerous music artists responded with ''Gimme Ted'', a series of benefit concerts, which were recorded for a 2×DVD video tribute album, ''Gimme Ted – The Ted Mulry Benefit Concerts'' (May 2003). Mulry died of his brain tumour in September 2001.

During a 1974 gig Hart stormed out leaving his bass guitar behind, Mulry picked up the instrument and finished the show on vocals and bass guitar.<ref name="Kimball"/><ref name="Nimmervoll"/> Ted Mulry Gang signed with Albert Productions in that year and released their first album, ''Here We Are'' (November 1974).<ref name="McFarlane"/><ref name="Holmgren"/> Before the album appeared they recruited Gary Dixon on rhythm guitar (ex-Fat Harry).<ref name="McFarlane"/><ref name="Holmgren"/><ref name=pop/> It reached the Kent Music Report top 100 albums chart.<ref name=aus/> Its first single, "Sunday Evenings" (March 1975), also appeared in the lower reaches of the singles chart top 100.<ref name=aus/> Due to low sales the record company wanted Mulry to go back to his solo career,<ref name=pop>''Pop Scene'' – Australia's International Pop Magazine, issue No. 2, Gordon and Gotch, 1977.</ref> however, with his band's support he adopted a harder rocking style.

Their first major hit, and the biggest of their career, was the next single, "Jump in My Car" (September 1975), which spent six weeks at No. 1.<ref name=aus/> According to McFarlane, "[it] set the tone for subsequent releases with its simplistic, 12-bar boogie guitar riffs, thumping beat, Mulry's gravelly, gregarious vocals and tongue-in-cheek lyrics."<ref name="McFarlane"/> Over the next two years they achieved a string of top ten singles including a rocked up version of an old jazz song, "Darktown Strutters' Ball" (February 1976); followed by "Jamaica Rum" (January 1977) and "My Little Girl" (May).<ref name=aus/>

Many of TMG's songs, including "Jump in My Car", were co-written by Mulry and Hall.
