ʻO Billie Davis kahi mele Pelekania a kaulana i ka waena o ke kenekulia 1963. Ua kapa ʻia kāna mele nui ʻo Tell Him, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka makahiki 1968. Ua ʻike nui ʻia ka mele I Want You To Be My Baby (XNUMX).
ʻO ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hana mele a Billie Davis
ʻO Carol Hedges ka inoa maoli o ka mea mele (ʻo ka pseudonym Billy Davis i manaʻo ʻia e kāna mea hana ʻo Robert Stigwood). Ua hānau ʻia ʻo ia ma Dekemaba 22, 1944 ma ke kūlanakauhale Pelekane ʻo Woking. Ua haku ʻia ka pseudonym mai nā inoa ʻelua - ʻo Billie Holiday (ka mele mele jazz ʻAmelika kaulana) a me Sammy Davis Jr.
Ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana i kāna ʻoihana mele, ua hana ʻo Carol ma ke ʻano he ʻenekinia a ua moe wale ʻo ia e hoʻomaka i kahi ʻoihana mele. Mahalo i ka hoʻokūkū kālena, ua hoʻokō ʻo ia i kāna moemoeā. ʻO ka hui Rebel Rousers, i hoʻokumu ʻia e Cliff Bennett, ua kōkua iā ia e lanakila i ka hoʻokūkū.
Ma hope o kēlā, hui ʻo Billy i ka hui Tornados a me ka mea hana ʻo Joe Meek. ʻO Tornados kahi pūʻulu mea hana kūikawā i ka hana ʻana i nā hoʻonohonoho. No laila, kākau ʻo ia i ke mele, a hana ʻo Davis i nā ʻāpana leo. Eia naʻe, he mau hōʻike liʻiliʻi wale nō kēia i ulu ʻole i mea ʻoi aku.
ʻO ka hana mua na Billie Davis
A laila hoʻomaka i kahi hui pū me ka mea hana ʻo Robert Stigwood, kahi i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai ka album Will I What (1962). ʻAʻole i hoʻokuʻu wale ʻia ka disc, akā ua kākau pū ʻia me Mike Sarn. Ma hope mai, ua hīmeni ʻia kekahi o nā mele mai ka album e ka mea hoʻokani kaulana ʻo Wendy Richard me Mike a ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma ke ʻano he hoʻokahi Come Outside. Ua piʻi ka mele ma ka helu 1 ma ka UK Singles Chart. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole kēia i hoʻohui i ka kaulana iā Billy.
ʻO ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kāna ʻoihana ma Pepeluali 1963, i ka manawa i hana ai ʻo Davis i kahi uhi uhi o ka hui The Exciters ma ke mele Tell Him. ʻO ka mea mahalo, ua hīmeni ʻia kēia pā e nā hōkū he nui o ka pae ʻEnelani a me ʻAmelika i nā makahiki like ʻole. Ua hana ʻia ka haku mele i nā makahiki 1960 a i nā makahiki 1990 o ke kenekulia i hala. I ka manawa like, ua lilo ka mana i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e Billy i kekahi o nā mea kaulana loa a lilo i mea paʻi maoli.
Ua paʻi ʻo ia i ka pakuhi Pelekane nui a lawe ʻo ia i ke kūlana 10 ma laila. ʻO ka mea e mahalo ai, ʻo Davis kekahi o nā mea hoʻokani mua i hana i ka uhi uhi (ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ke kumu mua i ka makahiki 1962, a ma Ianuali a me Pepeluali 1963 aia nō ia i loko o nā papa mele honua). No laila, i loko o kekahi mau pakuhi, ua like ka manaʻo kumu a me ka uhi uhi i ka manawa like.
I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, hoʻokahi mahina ma hope mai, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka lua o ka mele ʻo He's Te One. Ua paʻi ʻia ke mele ma UK i ka pūnāwai a komo i ka 40 kiʻekiʻe. No laila, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka ʻoihana mele a Davis. Ua hoʻololi ikaika ʻia kāna mau mele ma nā lekiō, a ua lawe maikaʻi nā mea hoʻolohe a me nā mea hoʻohewa i kāna mau hana mua.
Pōmaikaʻi ʻo Billie Davis
Eia naʻe, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ka hoʻomau ʻana i kahi ʻoihana ma hope o ka hoʻomaka ikaika. ʻO 1963 ka makahiki i hoʻomaka ai ka hoʻoikaika nui ʻana o nā mele e ka hana a The Beatles. Na kēia hui i hoʻonohonoho i nā ʻano mele. ʻOkoʻa loa ka mele a Billy mai ka The Beatles i hana ai.
ʻO ka hopena he paio ma waena o ka lepili a me ka mea mele. Nui nā kuʻikahi e pili ana i ke kālā i koi i ka mea hoʻokani e haʻalele iā Decca Records.
Ua kū mai kahi nīnau paʻakikī - ma ke ʻano he aha kāu e hoʻomau ai i kāu ʻoihana? Eia naʻe, ma mua o ka manawa o ka mea mele e pane aku ai iā ia, ua hiki mai kahi hanana maikaʻi ʻole. I Kepakemapa 1963, ua komo ʻo Billie i kahi ulia limousine me ka mea hoʻokani pahu ʻo Jet Harris. Ma hope o kēlā, ma muli o ka pōʻino, ua loaʻa i ka mea mele ka ʻāʻī haki, a ua loaʻa ka mea hoʻokani pahu i kahi ʻeha poʻo koʻikoʻi, i paʻakikī i kāna ʻoihana.
Mea pena i kēia lā
I kēia manawa, ua loaʻa iā Carol ʻelua pilikia i ka manawa hoʻokahi. ʻO ka mea mua, no nā mahina ʻehā ua hoʻonele ʻia ʻo ia i ka manawa e hoʻopaʻa i nā mele. Aʻo kēia me kaʻoiaʻiʻo o nā mahina mua ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻuʻiaʻana o nā mele kaulana kekahi o nā mea nui loa i kaʻoihana o kekahi mea pena.
Ma mua o ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi paʻa i nā pakuhi me nā hits hou, ua koi ʻia ʻo Billy e kali i kēia manawa. ʻO ka lua o ka pilikia i hoʻopilikia maikaʻi ʻole i ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ka pilikia, ʻo ia ka nui o nā lono e pili ana i kāna aloha me Jet Harris. He kanaka ʻohana hiʻohiʻona ʻo Harris, a he ʻōpio ʻo Carol he 17 makahiki. ʻO ia mau lono i hoʻokumu i nā manaʻo maikaʻi ʻole e pili ana i ke kaikamahine.
I ka makahiki 2007, ma kahi ninaninau, ua ʻae ʻo Hedges ua hoʻokuʻu loa kēia mau lono i kāna ʻoihana. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Hedges i kahi pūʻulu mele me Keith Powell ma 1966. ʻAʻole lākou i paʻi i ka palapala, ʻoiai ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia lākou e ka lehulehu. I ka hopena o nā makahiki 1960, ua hoʻi ka mea mele i Decca Records, akā ʻaʻohe lanakila hou.
ʻO ka helu hope loa i ka pakuhi ʻo I Want You To Be My Baby (1968). A hiki i ka makahiki 1980, ua kākau a hoʻokuʻu ʻo Billy i nā mele hou, akā ua emi kona waihona. Ua kaulana loa ka mea mele i ka poʻe e ʻōlelo ana i ka ʻōlelo Sepania, no laila ua hoʻomau ʻo ia i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i nā moʻolelo a me ka huakaʻi.
Ua hana ʻia nā hana hope loa i ka makahiki 2006, i ka wā i hui hou ai ʻo ia me ka mea hoʻokani pahu ʻo Jet Harris no nā ʻaha mele.
