Ua hoʻololi ka hui Pelekane ʻo Mungo Jerry i kekahi mau ʻano mele i nā makahiki o ka hana hoʻoikaika ikaika. Ua hana nā lālā o ka hui ma ke ʻano o ka skiffle a me ka rock and roll, rhythm and blues and folk rock. I ka makahiki 1970, ua hiki i nā mea hoʻokani pila ke hana i nā mele kiʻekiʻe loa, akā ʻo ka mea ʻōpio mau loa i paʻi i ke kauwela ʻo ia ka mea nui.
ʻO ka mōʻaukala o ka hana ʻana a me ka haku ʻana o ka hui Mungo Jerry
ʻO ke kumu o ka hui ʻo Ray Dorset kaao. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia i kāna ʻoihana ma mua o ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o Mungo Jerry. Ua hoʻohuli ʻia ka hana mua a Dorset e ka repertoire o Bill Haley lāua ʻo Elvis Presley.
Hoʻoulu ʻia e ka hana a Billy lāua ʻo Elvis, ua hana ʻo Ray i ka hui mua, i kapa ʻia ʻo The Blue Moon Skiffle Group. ʻAʻole naʻe ʻo Ray i kū ma laila. Ua helu ʻia ʻo ia i nā hui e like me: Buccaneers, Conchords, Tramps, Sweet and Sour Band, Camino Real, Memphis Leather, Good Earth.
ʻAʻole i hāʻawi ʻia ke komo ʻana i kēia mau hui i ka kaulana i makemake ʻia, a ma hope o ka puka ʻana o ka papahana mele Mungo Jerry i ka makahiki 1969, hoʻomaka nā mea e hoʻomaikaʻi.
Ua ʻaiʻē ka laina hoʻomaka o ka hui hou i ka inoa mai kahi kanaka mai ka puke ʻo Practical Cat Science a Thomas Eliot. ʻO ka mea hoʻolei mua i komo i kēia mau "ʻano":
- Dorset (kika, leo, harmonica);
- Colin Earl (piano);
- Paul King (banjo);
- Mike Cole (bass)
Kau inoa iā Pye Records
Ua loaʻa iā Ray, ka mea i loaʻa i nā "pili pono", ʻo Pye Records. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ka poʻe mele i kahi ʻaelike me ka lepili i ʻōlelo ʻia. Ua hele ka poʻe mele i ke keena hoʻopaʻa leo e hoʻomākaukau i kā lākou album mua no nā mea aloha mele.
ʻOiai ʻo ia ka mea hoʻokahi e hui pū ana, ua makemake ka quartet e hoʻokuʻu iā Mighty Man. Eia naʻe, ua manaʻo ka mea hana i ke mele ʻaʻole i hoʻonāukiuki nui ʻia, no laila ua hōʻike nā mea hoʻokani i kahi mea "ʻoi aku ka ʻoi" - ke mele In The Summertime.
Ua pololei ka mea hana ʻo Murray. Ke noʻonoʻo nei ka poʻe hoʻohewa mele ʻo Mungo Jerry hoʻokahi o nā hana kaulana loa a ka hui. ʻAʻole i haʻalele ka track In The Summertime i ke kūlana 1 o nā papa mele o ka ʻāina no ʻeono mahina.
Ma hope o ka hōʻike ʻana i ke mele hoʻokahi, hele nā mea hoʻokani i ka Hollywood Music Festival. Mai ia manawa, ua lilo ka quartet i kiʻi maoli no nā mea he nui.
ʻO ka hui mua o ka hui (ʻaʻole i hoʻokomo i ke mele In The Summertime) ua loaʻa i ke kūlana 14 wale nō ma nā papa mele. ʻAʻohe hoʻololi i ka haku mele. I kona hoʻi ʻana i ʻEnelani, ua noi ʻia ʻo Cole e haʻalele i ka hui. Ua pani ʻo John Godfrey i kona wahi.
I ka makahiki 1971, hōʻike ka poʻe mele i kahi mea hou. Ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i ka haku mele ʻo Baby Jump. Ua "pepper" kēia mele me nā hōʻailona o ka pōhaku paʻa a me ka rockabilly.
Ua manaʻo ka poʻe Fans i kahi leo mālie mai nā mea hoʻokani pila, akā no ka hopena, ua lawe ka minion i ke kūlana 32nd. ʻOiai naʻe, ua lanakila ka mele i ke kūlana 1 o nā papa mele ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
Ma hope iki mai, ua hōʻike ka hui i ka Lady Rose hou. I ka makahiki 1971 hoʻokahi, ua hoʻokuʻu ka poʻe mele i kahi mea hou - ʻo ka ʻāina kūʻē i ke kaua ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e noho i ka pūʻali e kaua i ke kaua.
Ma hope o ka hōʻike ʻana i nā mele ʻāina, ua hāʻule ka hoʻohewa ʻana i ka poʻe mele. ʻOiai he nui nā pāpā, ua hoʻokani ʻia kēia haku mele ma ka lewa, a ʻo ka hui ʻana o ka inoa like, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me Joe Rush i hoʻihoʻi ʻia, ua kūʻai maikaʻi ʻia.
Haʻalele i ka hui Dorset
Ua piʻi ka kaulana, akā me ia, ua piʻi ka makemake i loko o ka hui. Ua hoʻokani ka poʻe mele i kahi huakaʻi nui o ka ʻāina ʻo Australo-Asia, a laila hoʻolaha ʻo Paul lāua ʻo Colin e haʻalele ana ʻo Ray i ka hui.
Ma ka waena o nā makahiki 1970, ua nānā nui ka hui Mungo Jerry i ka hana ʻahamele. ʻO ka mea hoihoi, ʻo nā mea hoʻokani pila kekahi o nā hui i kipa aku i nā ʻāina āpau o ʻEulopa Hikina.
I nā makahiki 1980 mua, ua hoʻi hou ʻo Ray Dorset i nā papa mele Pelekane. Hāʻawi ʻo ia i ka poʻe pā me ke mele ʻo Feels Like I'm in Love. I ka wā mua ua kākau ʻo ia i kahi mele no Elvis Presley, ua lawe ʻo Kelly Marie i ke mele a ua lawe ʻo ia i ke kūlana 1 ma nā papa mele o ka ʻāina.
ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona hope loa o Mungo Jerry i ka makahiki 1990. I ka makahiki 1999, ua hōʻike ka poʻe mele iā Toon Army (he mele pôpeku e kākoʻo ana i ka hui ʻo Newcastle United).
I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā album i kapa ʻia ʻo Mungo Jerry, akā ʻaʻole hiki ke kapa ʻia ʻo top-end. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo Dorset, ma hope o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā 2000s, ua hana ʻo ia i nā papahana ʻē aʻe. Uaʻike ka mea hoʻokani pila iā ia iho he mea hana a haku mele, e ho'ōki ana i ka uluʻana o ka hui Mungo Jerry.
I ka makahiki 1997, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Ray i kahi album blues maikaʻi ʻO Old Shoes, New Jeans, a ma hope ua kapa hou ʻia ka papahana ʻo Mungo Jerry Bluesband. Ua hōʻole ka kaulana o ka hui, akā makemake mau ka poʻe aloha aloha i ka hana a nā mea hoʻokani.
A hiki i kēia lā, ʻo ka album compilation From the Heart ke mau nei ka album hope loa o ka discography a ka band. Hōʻike ka moʻolelo i ka hoʻi ʻana o ka poʻe mele i ke kani "mango" mua.
