}}Thomas Arthur Parker (1 November 1944 – 18 April 2013) was a British musician. He started playing piano at the age of six and was performing in jazz clubs around London by his teens. In the 1960s he was a session musician.[1] He was briefly a member of The Animals in 1966.[2]

In 1972, he formed Apollo 100 with other session musicians and had a hit single "Joy", an arrangement of Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.

Parker was also known for his popular arrangements of classical works, such as The Young Messiah, The Young Amadeus, and The Young Verdi which were recorded with the New London Chorale. He died in Spain where he lived in semi-retirement.{{citation needed|date= April 2017}}
