ʻO ka Shadows kahi hui mele mele Pelekane. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka hui ma 1958 ma Lākana. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana, hoʻokani ka poʻe mele ma lalo o ka pseudonyms hoʻokumu ʻo The Five Chester Nuts a me The Drifters. ʻAʻole hiki i ka makahiki 1959 i puka mai ai ka inoa ʻo The Shadows.
ʻO kēia ka mea hoʻokahi pūʻulu instrumental i hiki ke loaʻa ka kaulana o ka honua. ʻO The Shadows kekahi o nā hui pōhaku kahiko loa ma ka honua.
ʻO ka mōʻaukala o ka hana ʻana a me ka haku ʻana o ka hui Shadows
ʻO ka laina mua o ka hui pū kekahi me nā mea mele:
- Hank Marvin (lead guitar, piano, vocals);
- ʻO Bruce Welch (kuka kani);
- Terence "Jet" Harris (bass)
- Tony Meehan (percussion)
Ua loli ka haku mele i kēlā me kēia manawa, e like me kēlā me kēia hui. ʻElua wale nō mea mele i koe mai ka laina mua: ʻo Marvin lāua ʻo Welch. ʻO kekahi lālā o kēia manawa, ʻo Brian Bennett, ʻo ia me ka hui mai 1961.
Ua hoʻomaka i ka makahiki 1958. A laila hele mai ʻo Hank Marvin lāua ʻo Bruce Welch mai Newcastle i Lākana ma ke ʻano he hui o ka hui Railroaders. ʻAʻole i hoʻi ka poʻe mele i ko lākou ʻāina hānau, akā ua hui pū me The Five Chester Nuts.
A laila e ʻimi ana ka mea hana ʻo Cliff Richard i kahi mea hoʻokani pila no ka laina hui pū. Ua makemake ʻo ia e kono iā Tony Sheridan no kēia kuleana, akā ua koho ʻo Hank lāua ʻo Bruce.
Ua pāʻani pū ʻo Terry Harris ma The Drifters. I ka hopena o nā makahiki 1950, ua pani ʻia ka mea hoʻokani pahu ʻo Terry Smart e Tony Meehan. No laila, ua hoʻopau ʻia ke kahua o ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi hui pōhaku ʻōpio.
Ua hele pū nā Drifters me Richard. Ma hope iki, hoʻomaka lākou e hoʻopaʻa i nā mele kūʻokoʻa mua. Ua aʻo nā mea hoʻokani pila ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa he hui me ka inoa like Drifters. I mea e pale aku ai i nā paio, hoʻomaka nā kāne e hana ma lalo o ka pseudonym hoʻokumu ʻo The Shadows.
Ma lalo o ka inoa hou, ua hoʻomaka ka poʻe mele e hoʻopaʻa i nā mele me ka ikaika. ʻOiai ka hana, ʻaʻole ʻike ka poʻe aloha mele i nā hana a The Shadows.
ʻO ka kaulana mua o The Shadows
Ua loli ke kūlana o ka hui i ka wā i hoʻopaʻa ai lākou i kahi mana uhi o ka track Apache a Jerry Lordan. Ua lawe ka haku mele i ke kūlana 1 o ka pakuhi Pelekane. No nā pule he 6, ʻaʻole i haʻalele ka mele i ke kūlana 1 o ka parade hit.
Mai ia manawa a hiki i ka waena o ka makahiki 1960, ua "flicker" mau nā mele o ka hui ma nā palapala Pelekane. ʻO ka longplay mua loa o ka hui i lawe i ke kūlana 1, akā ʻaʻole kēia i hoʻopakele i ka hui mai nā loli limahana.
I ka makahiki 1961, haʻalele ʻo Meehan i ka hui me ka manaʻo ʻole. ʻAʻole ia i pani ʻia e Brian Bennett. I ʻApelila 1962 haʻalele ʻo Harris i ka hui a hāʻawi i ke kīkā bass iā Brian Locking. I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, haʻalele ʻo Brian i ka hui. Ua haʻalele ʻo ia i ke mele no ka mea ua komo ʻo ia i loko o kahi hui hoʻomana.
Ua hoʻololi koke ʻia ʻo Brian e John Rostill, e hoʻopaʻa ana i ka laina a hiki i 1968. Ma kēia laina, ua hoʻonui ka hui i kā lākou discography me ʻelima album. ʻOiai naʻe, ua hoʻomau ka poʻe mele i ka hele pū me Cliff Richard i kāna huakaʻi.
ʻO ka mea e mahalo ai, ua hoʻokani nā mea hoʻokani pila me Richard i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni he nui, a hoʻopaʻa pū i nā leo kani no nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni. I ka makahiki 1968, ua hōʻike ka hui i ka hui ʻana i hoʻokumu ʻia i ka makahiki 1958 i ka hanohano o ka ʻumi makahiki.
ʻO ka haʻihaʻi mua a me ka hui hou ʻana o nā Shadows
ʻOiai ka piʻi ʻana o ka kaulana, ua emi ke ʻano o ka hui. ʻO nā paio i alakaʻi i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo i ka makahiki 1968 ua haki ka hui. Akā, he hanana pōkole kēia.
I ka makahiki 1969, hui hou nā mea hoʻokani pila. Ua hoʻopaʻa lākou i hoʻokahi a me kahi album, a ua hoʻokō pū lākou e hele i nā ʻahamele ma ʻEnelani a me Iapana. A laila ua hana ʻo Hank lāua ʻo Brian i nā papahana solo, a hele ʻo Rostill iā Tom Jones. I kekahi mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua makemake ʻo Bruce lāua ʻo Hank e pāʻani pū me ka hoʻohana ʻole ʻana i ka inoa hana Shadows. Ua hui pū ʻia lākou e John Farrar lāua ʻo Bennett.
Ua hilinaʻi nā lālā o ka hui i nā helu leo. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole i ʻae ka poʻe mele mele i kā lākou mau mele a koi i nā mea kani maʻamau e like me Apache a me FBI.
Ua lohe ka poʻe mele i ke noi a nā mea pā i kā lākou hana. Ua hoʻololi lākou i kā lākou repertoire a hoʻomaka hou e hana ma lalo o ka pseudonym haku mele Shadows. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu, ua hoʻokipa ʻia nā mea pā e ka album hou ʻo Rockin' With Curly Leads. Ua paʻi ka album i ka ʻumi kiʻekiʻe.
Ua ʻike ʻia ka mele Let Me Be the One ma ka papa mele no ka manawa mua i loko o kekahi mau makahiki, e lawe ana i ke kūlana 12. I ka waena o 1970s, ua hahai ʻo Farrar i kāna mea aloha ʻo Olivia Newton-John i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
Nā lālā hou a me ka huakaʻi bana
ʻAʻole koke ua hoʻopiha ʻia ka hui me kahi lālā hou - bassist Alan Tarney. I ka makahiki 1977, ke kali nei ka hui i ka lanakila maoli me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka hui EMI The Shadows 20 Golden Greats. Ua hoʻomaka ka hui ʻana ma ka helu 1 ma nā pakuhi kūloko. Ua kūʻai ʻia aku ma mua o 1 miliona kope o ka album.
Hele ka hui i ka huakaʻi, akā ʻaʻohe Tarney, akā me Alan Jones lāua ʻo Francis Monkman. Ma hope o ka haʻaleleʻana i nā'ahamele, ua hōʻike nā mea mele i kahi album hou, i kapaʻiaʻo Tasty.
He kani "kaumaha" ko ka album hou. ʻOiai nā loli, ʻaʻole makemake ʻia ka hōʻiliʻili e nā mea pā a me nā mea aloha mele. Mai ka manaʻo pāʻoihana, ua lilo ka album i "hāʻule".
I ka makahiki 1978, ua hoʻolauleʻa ʻo The Shadows a me Cliff Richard i kahi makahiki nui. Aia lākou ma ke kahua no 20 mau makahiki. Ua hoʻolauleʻa nā mea hoʻokani pila i kēia hanana me ka hana ma London Palladium. Ua kōkua ʻo Cliff Hall i nā mea hoʻokani pila ma ka ʻaha mele. Ma hope mai, he lālā ka mea ho'okani pila o ka hui no 12 makahiki.
ʻO ka hopena o nā 1970s i hōʻailona ʻia e kahi makahiki o ka hoʻokolohua mele. Ua hoʻohui ka poʻe mele i nā mea disco i ke kani. ʻO ka hopena o kā lākou hana, ʻo ia ke mele ʻo Don't Cry For Me Argentina. Ua hoʻonui ʻia ka kūleʻa o ka mea hoʻokahi i ka album aʻe, ʻo String of hits.
Hoʻopaʻa inoa nā Shadows me Polydor
I nā makahiki 1980 mua, makemake ka poʻe mele e kūʻai i nā kuleana i kā lākou album mua mai EMI. ʻO ka ho'āʻo e hoʻihoʻi i nā hōʻiliʻili iā lākou iho i alakaʻi i ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka ʻaelike me ka lepili.
Ua hoʻopaʻa inoa nā mea hoʻokani pila me ka lepili Polydor. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ua hoʻopiha hou ʻia ka discography o ka hui me kahi album hou, Change of Address. Ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia ka hōʻiliʻili e nā mea aloha mele a me nā mea hoʻokani mele.
Hōʻailona ʻia kēia manawa e nā mana uhi. I ka hoʻi ʻana o ka poʻe mele e hoʻokani i kā lākou mau mele ponoʻī ma Life in the Jungle, ua ʻike ʻia ua ʻoi aku ka hewa o lākou. I ka manawa like, aia nā loli i ka haku o ka hui. I ka hopena o nā makahiki 1980, aia ʻo Alan Jones i kahi ulia kaʻa. Ua pani ʻia ʻo ia e Mark Griffiths.
I nā makahiki 1990 mua, haʻalele ʻo Bennett i ka hui. Ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e ʻike iā ia iho he haku mele. ʻO ka hopena, ua nalowale ka hui ma lalo o ko lākou mau wāwae. Ua haki ka hui. ʻOiai naʻe, ua hoʻomau ʻia ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o nā hōʻiliʻili, akā, auwe, ʻaʻole i kaulana ka kaulana.
I ka makahiki 2003, hui hou ʻo Hank, Bruce lāua ʻo Brian, i ka hauʻoli o ka poʻe pā, a hoʻonohonoho i kahi huakaʻi aloha. I kekahi manawa ua puka mai nā mea hoʻokani pila ma ke kahua, akā ʻaʻole i hoʻopiha ʻia ka discography o ka hui me nā album hou.
