LITTLE GUY and THE GIANTS(A.K.A/THE HALOS)
先日WHITE GROUPSで紹介したこの曲、な、なんと黒人グループHALOSだったのです！
HALOSといえばここんとこgenieさんとよく話題にしてたあのグループですが、
まさかLITTLE GUY and THE GIANTSだったとは！
コンポーザーもHALOSのメムバー達の名前だしこれは疑う余地のない事実でしょう。
それと、HALOSのリーダー兼ベース担当だったARTHUR CRIER、この人はHALOS以外にも
数多くのグループで活躍していたそうです。（以下ディスコグラフィー参照）

LILLIAN LEACHのMELLOWSや昔好きだったAMYのSTAR STEPPERSもこの人が関連してたのか〜！
しかし凄い！
また、この人EARLY 60'Sのポップス界でも多くのレコーディングに参加していて、
有名なところでは
GENE PITNEY(Every Breath I Take),CURTIS LEE(Pretty Little Angel Eyes)BARRY MANN
(Who Put The Bomp)BEN E. KING(Don't Play That Song)などがある。
また、曲名は不明だが、CONNIE FRANCIS, TOMMY HUNT, BOBBY VINTON, the COASTERS,
BRIAN HYLAND, JOHNNY NASH, DION, LITTLE EVA等など・・・
多くのメジャーアーティストのBKGで活躍していたようですよ。
さて、今回長年WHITE GROUPとばかり思っていたあのLITTLE GUY and THE GIANTSが
BALACK GROUPだったという事が判明した訳ですが、実際これはW.Gが大好きな僕にとっては
結構ショックな事実でした。
しかし、この「SO YOUNG」が素晴らしい曲だと云うことは変わりありません。
ただ、WHITE GROUPSにアップした記事はここにお引越しですね（笑）
こんな事に興味を持ってくれる人、いったい日本に何人くらいいるのかな？
