I-Shadows iyiqembu laseBrithani elidlala izinsimbi. Iqembu lasungulwa emuva ngo-1958 eLondon. Ekuqaleni, abaculi bacula ngaphansi kwamagama angahlosiwe ama-Chester Nuts amahlanu kanye ne-Drifters. Kwaze kwaba ngu-1959 lapho kwavela khona igama elithi The Shadows.
Leli yiqembu elilodwa lezinsimbi elikwazile ukuthola ukuduma emhlabeni wonke. I-Shadows ingelinye lamaqembu e-rock amadala kakhulu emhlabeni.
Umlando wokudalwa nokwakheka kweqembu le-Shadows
Uhlu lokuqala lweqembu lwaluhlanganisa abaculi abanjalo:
- U-Hank Marvin (isiginci sokuhola, upiyano, amazwi);
- Bruce Welch (isiginci esinesigqi);
- Terence "Jet" Harris (bass)
- UTony Meehan (i-percussion)
Ukwakheka kwashintsha ngezikhathi ezithile, njengakunoma yiliphi iqembu. Kusele abaculi ababili kuphela ohlwini lokuqala: uMarvin noWelch. Elinye ilungu lamanje, uBrian Bennett, ube nebhendi kusukela ngo-1961.
Konke kwaqala ngo-1958. Kwabe sekufika uHank Marvin noBruce Welch besuka eNewcastle beza eLondon njengengxenye yeqembu leRailroaders. Abaculi abazange babuyele ezweni lakubo, kodwa bajoyina i-Five Chester Nuts.
Khona-ke umdidiyeli u-Cliff Richard wayefuna isigingci esihamba phambili ohlwini oluhambisana naso. Wayefuna ukumema uTony Sheridan kule ndima, kodwa wakhetha uHank noBruce.
UTerry Harris uphinde wadlala kuThe Drifters. Ngasekupheleni kwawo-1950, umculi wesigubhu uTerry Smart wathathelwa indawo uTony Meehan. Ngakho, isigaba sokwakheka kweqembu elincane le-rock saqedwa.
AbakwaDrifters babehamba noRichard. Ngemva kwesikhashana, baqala ukuqopha izingoma zokuqala ezizimele. Laba baculi bathole ukuthi e-United States of America sekuneqembu elinegama elifanayo elithi Drifters. Ukuze ugweme izingxabano ezingenzeka, abafana baqala ukwenza ngaphansi kwegama lokuqamba elithi The Shadows.
Ngaphansi kwegama elisha, abaculi sebeqalile ukuqopha izingoma ngokuzimisela. Ngaphandle kwalo msebenzi, abathandi bomculo ngenkani abazange bayibone imizamo yeThe Shadows.
Ukuduma kokuqala kwe-The Shadows
Isimo sebhendi sishintshile lapho beqopha inguqulo yekhava yethrekhi ka-Jerry Lordan's Apache. Ukuqanjwa komculo kuthathe indawo yokuqala yeshadi laseBrithani. Kwaphela amasonto angu-1, ingoma ayizange ishiye isikhundla sokuqala se-hit parade.
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuze kube maphakathi nawo-1960s, izingoma zeqembu zazihlala "zibhayiza" kumashadi aseBrithani. I-debut debut yeqembu ithathe indawo yokuqala, kodwa lokhu akuzange kusindise iqembu ekushintsheni kwabasebenzi.
Ngo-1961, u-Meehan walishiya iqembu kungalindelekile. Akazange athathwe nguBrian Bennett. Ngo-Ephreli 1962 uHarris washiya ibhendi wanikeza uBrian Locking isiginci sebhesi. Ngemva konyaka, uBrian walishiya leli qembu. Wawuyeka umculo ngoba wayeyingxenye yehlelo lenkolo.
Ngokushesha esikhundleni sikaBrian kwathathwa uJohn Rostill, wazinzisa umugqa kwaze kwaba ngu-1968. Kulolu hlu, iqembu landise i-discography yalo ngama-albhamu amahlanu. Naphezu kwalokhu, abaculi baqhubekile nokuhambisana noCliff Richard ohambweni lwakhe.
Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi abaculi, kanye noRichard, badlala amafilimu amaningana, baze baqopha izingoma zomsindo wamafilimu. Ngo-1968, ibhendi yethula ukuhlanganiswa kwe-Established 1958 ukugubha le minyaka eyishumi.
Ukuhlukana kokuqala nokuhlangana kabusha kwe-Shadows
Naphezu kokwanda kokuthandwa, isimo seqembu saba sibi. Izingxabano zaholela eqinisweni lokuthi ngo-1968 leli qembu lahlukana. Kodwa lokhu kwakuyisenzakalo sesikhashana.
Ngo-1969, abaculi baphinde bahlangana. Baqopha ingoma eyodwa kanye ne-albhamu, baphinde bakwazi ukuya emakhonsathini eNgilandi naseJapan. Khona-ke uHank noBrian bathatha amaphrojekthi abodwa, futhi uRostill waya kuTom Jones. Eminyakeni embalwa kamuva, uBruce noHank babefuna ukudlala ndawonye ngaphandle kokusebenzisa igama lokudala elithi Shadows. Bajoyinwa nguJohn Farrar noBennett.
Amalungu eqembu athembele ezinombolweni zezwi. Kodwa-ke, abathandi bomculo abawamukelanga amathrekhi abo futhi bafuna izinsimbi zakudala ezifana ne-Apache ne-FBI.
Abaculi bezwe isicelo sabalandeli bomsebenzi wabo. Bashintsha i-repertoire yabo futhi baphinde baqala ukwenza ngaphansi kwegama lokuqamba elithi Shadows. Ngokushesha abalandeli babingelelwe i-albhamu entsha ethi Rockin' With Curly Leads. I-albhamu ishaye kwabayishumi abahamba phambili.
Iculo elithi Let Me Be the One livele eshadini lomculo okokuqala ngqa eminyakeni embalwa, lithatha indawo ye-12. Maphakathi nawo-1970, uFarrar walandela isithandwa sakhe u-Olivia Newton-John waya e-United States of America.
Amalungu amasha nokuvakasha kwebhendi
Ngokushesha leli qembu lagcwaliswa ilungu elisha - bassist Alan Tarney. Ngo-1977, iqembu lalilindele impumelelo yangempela ngokukhululwa kwenhlanganisela ye-EMI ethi The Shadows 20 Golden Greats. Ukuhlanganiswa kukhishwe okokuqala kunombolo 1 kumashadi endawo. Ngaphezu kwesigidi esingu-1 amakhophi e-albhamu asethengisiwe.
Ithimba laqhubeka nokuvakasha, kodwa ngaphandle kukaTarney, kodwa no-Alan Jones noFrancis Monkman. Ngemva kokushiya amakhonsathi, abaculi bethule i-albhamu entsha, ebizwa ngokuthi Tasty.
I-albhamu entsha ibinomsindo "osindayo". Naphezu kwezinguquko, iqoqo alizange lithandwe abalandeli nabathandi bomculo. Ngokombono wezohwebo, i-albhamu yaba "ukwehluleka".
Ngo-1978, i-Shadows kanye noCliff Richard bagubha iminyaka eminingi. Sebeneminyaka engu-20 besesiteji. Abaculi bagubhe lo mcimbi ngokudlala eLondon Palladium. Umculi wekhibhodi u-Cliff Hall usize abaculi ekhonsathini. Kamuva, umculi waba yilungu leqembu iminyaka engu-12.
Ukuphela kweminyaka yawo-1970 kwaphawulwa unyaka wokuhlolwa komculo. Abaculi bengeze izici ze-disco emsindweni. Umphumela womsebenzi wabo kwaba yingoma ethi Don’t Cry For Me Argentina. Impumelelo yeyodwa enwetshelwe ku-albhamu elandelayo, i-String of hits.
I-Shadows isayina ne-Polydor
Ekuqaleni kwawo-1980, abaculi babefuna ukuthenga amalungelo ama-albhamu abo okuqala kwa-EMI. Imizamo yokubuyisela amaqoqo kubo iholele ekunqanyulweni kwenkontileka nelebula.
Abaculi basayine inkontileka nelebula lePolydor. Ngokushesha i-discography yeqembu yaphinde yagcwaliswa nge-albhamu entsha, Ukushintsha Kwekheli. Iqoqo lamukelwe ngemfudumalo abathandi bomculo nabagxeki bomculo.
Lesi sikhathi simakwa ngezinguqulo zekhava. Kuthe uma sebebuya abaculi ukuzocula izingoma zabo kwiLife in the Jungle, kuvele ukuthi babheda kuyona. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kwaba nezinguquko ekubunjweni kweqembu. Ngasekupheleni kwawo-1980, u-Alan Jones waba sengozini yemoto. Esikhundleni sakhe kwathathwa uMark Griffiths.
Ekuqaleni kwawo-1990, uBennett washiya iqembu. Wanquma ukuzibona njengomqambi. Ngenxa yalokho, iqembu lalahlekelwa indawo ngaphansi kwezinyawo zalo. Iqembu lahlakazeka. Naphezu kwalokhu, amaqoqo aqhubeka nokukhishwa, kodwa, maye, ukuthandwa kwakungaphandle kombuzo.
Ngo-2003, uHank, uBruce noBrian, kwajabulisa abalandeli, baphinde bahlangana futhi bahlela uhambo lokuvalelisa. Ngezinye izikhathi abaculi babonakala esiteji, kodwa i-discography yeqembu ayizange igcwaliswe ngama-albhamu amasha.
