No, Peter Perrett was the singer/songwriter.  John Perry was indeed 
the Ones' lead guitarist and that's almost certainly his break.

Some other folks mentioned the Church: I think the entire song 
"Reptile" was written solely to support that one point just before the 
final verse and chorus, where the entire band drops out for a beat at 
the end of the solo and then Marty comes back with the primary riff.

But I nominate that circular riff at the bridge in Shuggie Otis' 
"Strawberry Letter 23," which the Brothers Johnson copied outright on 
their version of the song.
