In October of that year, it was number one on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in the U.S.〔(Question Mark & the Mysterians, "96 Tears" US chart position ) Retrieved July 1, 2015〕 and on the ''RPM'' 100 in Canada.〔(Question Mark & the Mysterians, "96 Tears" Canadian chart position ) Retrieved July 1, 2015〕 ''Billboard'' ranked the record as the number five song for the year 1966.〔Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1966〕 It is ranked number 213 on the ''Rolling Stone'' list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. On November 11, 1966 the single was certified as gold by the RIAA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= RIAA Gold & Platinum Searchable Database – 96 Tears )〕 The song was written by Question Mark (Rudy Martinez) in 1962 in his manager's living room, under the name "Too Many Teardrops" and then "69 Tears". Upon changing the name, in fear of loss of radio play, it was recorded in Bay City, Michigan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Question Mark Bio )〕 At first, Question Mark had to insist that "96 Tears" be the A-side over "Midnight Hour". Once the issue was settled, the band recorded the single for the small Pa-Go-Go label, owned by Lilly Gonzalez. She backed the band financially, and allowed access to her personal studio in her basement. When it began doing well locally, the band took a recording to Bob Dell, the radio director in Flint, Michigan. The song became the most requested, and wider radio play spread into Canada where it was picked up by Cameo Records for national distribution.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Making of 96 Tears )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Question )〕 Known for its signature organ licks and bare-bones lyrics, "96 Tears" is recognized as one of the first garage band hits, and has even been given credit for starting the punk rock movement. The song appeared on the band's album, ''96 Tears''. The follow-up song, "I Need Somebody", peaked at number 22 later that year, but no other U.S. Top 40 singles followed.〔(Question Mark & the Mysterians, chart positions ) Retrieved July 1, 2015〕 ==Personnel== *? – lead vocals〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Question Mark: Library of Congress copyright registrations indicate that his birth name is Rudy Martinez )〕 *Bobby Balderrama – lead guitar *Frank Rodriguez – Vox Continental organ *Frank Lugo – bass guitar *Eddie Serrato – drums 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「96 Tears」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
