Thaddeus James Lowe (March 5, 1943 – May 22, 2025) was an American musician and record producer, best known as the lead singer of 1960s psychedelic rock band The Electric Prunes and as an audio engineer and producer with Todd Rundgren and the band Sparks.
Lowe, who for many years had left his days as a touring and recording musician behind following his departure from the Prunes in 1968, reformed the group in 1999 with original bass player and songwriting partner Mark Tulin, and after Tulin's death in 2011 was the only original member in the new version of the band.
