Inā mākou e kamaʻilio e pili ana i nā pūʻulu pōhaku kiʻi o nā makahiki 1960, a laila hiki ke hoʻomaka kēia papa inoa me ka hui Pelekane ʻo The Searchers. No ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka nui o kēia hui, e hoʻolohe wale i nā mele: Sweets for My Sweet, Sugar and Spice, Needles and Pins a Mai Kiola I Kou Aloha.
Ua hoʻohālikelike pinepine ʻia ka poʻe ʻimi me ka hui kaulana ʻo The Beatles. ʻAʻole i hōʻeha ʻia nā mea hoʻokani pila i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana, akā hoʻomau lākou i kā lākou kumu.
ʻO ka mōʻaukala o ka hana ʻana a me ka haku ʻana o ka hui ʻo The Searchers
ʻO ke kumu o ka hui ʻo John McNally lāua ʻo Mike Pender. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka hui ma 1959 ma Liverpool. Ua lawe ka poʻe mele i ka inoa ʻo The Searchers mai ke komohana The Searchers (1956) me John Wayne.
Ua ulu ka hui mai kahi hui skiffle mua i hoʻokumu ʻia e McNally me kāna mau hoaaloha ʻo Brian Dolan lāua ʻo Tony West. ʻO nā mea hoʻokani mele hope ʻelua ua nalowale ka hoihoi i ka hui. ʻO ia ka manawa i hui pū ai ʻo Mike Pender iā John.
ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ua hui pū kekahi mea komo i nā kāne. Ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana iā Tony Jackson, ka mea maikaʻi loa i ka hoʻokani pila. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana, hoʻokani ka poʻe mele ma lalo o ka pseudonym hoʻokumu ʻo Tony a me nā Huli, me Joe Kelly ma nā pahu.
ʻAʻole i noho lōʻihi ʻo Kelly me ka hui ʻōpio. Hāʻawi ka mea hoʻokani pila iā Norman McGarry. No laila, kapa ʻia ka lineup me McNally, Pender, Jackson a me McGarry "gula" e nā mea hoʻokani mele.
Ua haʻalele ʻo McGarry i ka hui i ka makahiki 1960. Ua lawe ʻia ka wahi o ka mea hoʻokani e Chris Crummy. I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, haʻalele ʻo Big Ron i ka hui. Ua hoʻololi ʻo Billy Beck i kona inoa iā Johnny Sandon.
Ua mālama ʻia nā hana mua o ka hui hou ma ka Iron Door Club ma Liverpool. Ua kapa ʻia nā mea hoʻokani iā lākou iho ʻo Johnny Sandon a me nā Huli.
Ma 1961, hoʻolaha ʻo Sandon i kona hoʻomaha ʻana i nā mea pā. Ua manaʻo ʻo ia e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke komo ʻana i ka hui ʻo The Remo Four. A ʻaʻole hewa wau i kaʻu kuhi.
ʻO ke ala hana o The Searchers
Ua hoʻololi ʻia ka hui i quartet. Hoʻokani kēlā me kēia lālā o ka bana i nā ʻāpana leo. Ua pōkole ka inoa ʻo The Searchers. Ua hoʻomau nā mea hoʻokani pila ma ka Iron Door Club a me nā hui ʻē aʻe o Liverpool. Hoʻomanaʻo lākou hiki iā lākou ke mālama i nā ʻaha mele ma nā hale ʻokoʻa i kēlā me kēia ahiahi.
ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ua komo nā mea hoʻokani i kahi ʻaelike maikaʻi me ka Star-Club ma Hamburg. Ua ʻōlelo ka ʻaelike ua koi ʻia nā lālā o ka hui e hoʻokani i ka ʻaha mele, e pāʻani ana i ʻekolu hola. Ua lōʻihi ka ʻaelike ma mua o ʻekolu mahina.
I ka pau ʻana o ka ʻaelike, ua hoʻi ka poʻe mele i ke kahua o ka Iron Door Club. Ua hoʻopaʻa ka hui i nā kau, i hāʻule koke i nā lima o nā mea hoʻonohonoho o ka studio recording Pye Records.
A laila ua hana ʻo Tony Hutch i ka hui. Ua hoʻonui ʻia ka ʻaelike me Kapp Records mai ʻAmelika e kūʻai aku i kā lākou mau moʻolelo ma ʻAmelika. Hoʻokani ʻo Tony i kekahi mau māhele ma ka piano. Ua hōʻike ʻia ʻo ia ma kekahi mau mele. Ma lalo o ka pseudonym Fred Nightingale, ua kākau ʻo Tony Hutch i ka lua o ka hui, ʻo Sugar and Spice.
Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka 100% hit Needles and Pins, haʻalele ʻo Tony Jackson i ka hui. Ua koho ka mea hoʻokani pila i ka hana solo. Ua pani ʻia kona wahi e Frank Allen o Cliff Bennett a me nā Rebel Rousers.
I ka waena o 1960s, haʻalele kekahi lālā i ka hui. Ke kamaʻilio nei mākou no Chris Curtis. Ua pani koke ʻia ʻo ia e John Blunt. Ua hoʻoikaika nui ʻia ke ʻano pāʻani o ka mea hoʻokani pila e Keith Moon. I ka makahiki 1970, ua pani ʻia ʻo John e Bill Adams.
ʻO ka hoʻomaka o nā 1970s a me ka hui Sechers
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā makahiki 1970, hoʻomaka ka hui e loaʻa nā mea hoʻokūkū. ʻAʻole hiki i nā mea mele ke mālama i ka pae like. Eia hou, ʻaʻole i ʻike hou ʻia nā hits i ʻike ʻia.
Ua hoʻomau ka poʻe ʻimi i nā mele no Liberty Records a me RCA Records. Ua hōʻailona ʻia kēia manawa e ka hui pū ʻana me ka Chicken in a Basket a me kahi spin-off US hit ma 1971 me Desdemona.
Kaʻapuni nui ka hui. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu, ua uku ʻia nā hana a nā mea hoʻokani. I ka makahiki 1979, ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻo Sire Records i kahi ʻaelike multi-album me ka hui.
Ua hoʻonui ʻia ka discography o ka hui Pelekane me ʻelua mau hōʻiliʻili. Ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i nā moʻolelo o The Searchers and Play for Today (ma waho o ʻEnelani, ua kapa ʻia ka moʻolelo hope ʻo Love's Melodies).
Ua hoʻomaikaʻi nui ʻia nā album ʻelua e nā mea hoʻokani mele. ʻOiai ʻo kēia mau hana, ʻaʻole lākou i komo i nā palapala. Akā, ua ho'āla hou nā hōʻiliʻili i The Searchers.
Hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻo Sechers me PRT Records
ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu, ʻike ʻia ka ʻike ua hoʻopaʻa ka poʻe mele i kahi album studio ʻekolu. Ua kapa ʻia ka ʻohi ʻana iā Sire. Eia naʻe, ma muli o ka hoʻonohonoho hou ʻana o ka lepili, ua hoʻopau ʻia ka ʻaelike.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā makahiki 1980, ua kau inoa ka hui i kahi ʻaelike me PRT Records. Ua hoʻomaka ka poʻe mele i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka leo. Akā hoʻokahi wale nō i hoʻokuʻu ʻia, ʻaʻole wau makemake e lilo i ke kanaka (me ke komo ʻana o ka hui Hollywood). Ua hoʻokomo ʻia ke koena o nā haku mele i loko o ka hōʻiliʻili 2004.
Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana, haʻalele ʻo Mike Pender i ka hui me ka hōʻino. Ua hana ka mea hoʻokani pila i ka papahana ʻo Mike Pender's Searchers. Ua pani ʻia ʻo Mike e ka mea hoʻokani leo ʻōpio ʻo Spencer James.
I ka makahiki 1988, ua pūlima ka hui i kahi ʻaelike me Coconut Records. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ua hoʻopiha hou ʻia ka discography o ka hui me kahi album hou, Hungry Hearts. Ua komo ka album i nā mana hou o Needles and Pins and Sweets For My Sweets, a me kahi mana ola o Somebody Told Me You Were Crying. Ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia ka hōʻiliʻili e nā mea pā a me nā mea hoʻokani mele.
Ka Huli i keia la
Ua huakaʻi nui ka hui i ka makahiki 2000 me Eddie Roth i pani iā Adamson. Ua lilo ka Huli i kekahi o na bana kaulana loa o ko kakou manawa. Hoʻohui akamai ka poʻe mele i nā hopena uila me ke kani kani.
Ma 2018, ua hoʻolaha nā lālā o ka hui ua hiki i ka manawa e hoʻomaha ai. Ua pāʻani lākou i kahi huakaʻi aloha, a hiki i 2019. ʻAʻole i kāpae ka poʻe mele i ka hiki ke mālama i kahi huakaʻi hui hou.
