"Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" (commonly written with an ampersand) is a song by British singer-songwriter KT Tunstall and is featured on her debut album, ''Eye to the Telescope''. It was released on 21 February 2005 as the lead single from the album, charting at No. 28 in the UK Singles Chart (see 2005 in British music). It is one of many songs that reuses the famous Bo Diddley beat from the influential 1955 song of the same name. The song is a playable track in the music video games ''Band Hero'' and ''Dancing with the Stars: We Dance!'' ==Song information== Tunstall said of the song:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=KT Tunstall – Black Horse and the Cherry Tree, Video )〕 The song is usually performed solo by Tunstall, the original artist, with the layered guitar and vocals constructed piece-by-piece by sampling the parts live, and using a loop pedal unit to create the backing track. A performance of the song on ''Later... with Jools Holland'' (recorded before the release of ''Eye to the Telescope'') was an important break in Tunstall's career. The song won Tunstall an award for Best Single of 2005 in ''Q'', and it received a 2007 Grammy Award nomination for "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance". The album version was used as the opening theme song for the CBC Television drama ''Wild Roses''. The song was later redone by Aly & AJ for ''Pepsi Smash'', included on the Japanese only re-release of their second studio album ''Insomniatic''. "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" was also used in advertisements for The WB show ''Pepper Dennis'' and the 2006 US Open. The song's video ranked No. 19 on VH1's ''40 Greatest Videos of 2006.'' During the programme's airing, Tunstall stated that the day of the video shoot was the only time she had ever worn red lipstick. 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「Black Horse and the Cherry Tree」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
