Bob Markley
Robert H. "Bob" Markley (August 29, 1935 – September 9, 2003) was an American singer-songwriter and record producer, most notably as one of the founding members of the psychedelic rock band, The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, in the late 1960s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bob Markley - Artist Information )〕 Markley, the adopted son of an oil tycoon, was first a law graduate, and then a local television persona for the Oklahoma programming, ''Oklahoma Bandstand'' in 1958. By 1960, he started a decade-long music career, and became one of the most controversial figures that emerged from the era.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Great Psychedelic Albums: Markley A Group )〕 ==Early music career==
In 1960, Markley moved to Los Angeles to pursue a music career after performing in several college bands. He was signed by Warner Bros. Records to release his first single. The single, "Will We Meet Again" b/w "Tia Juana Ball" was released in late 1960. Markley would perform vocals, and utilize the bongos as his standard equipment. By late 1961, another single emerged under the same label titled, "Summers Comin' On" b/w "It Should Have Been Me". All of the songs were either written or co-written by Markley. His co-writer was Baker Knight, who would later write "Shifting Sands" for The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band on their album, ''Part One''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Singles & Other Stuff )〕 Markley's solo career stalled after the singles were met with very little success. These rare releases would be re-released decades later on the 2011 compilation album, ''The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band Companion''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band )〕 Before the end of 1965, Markley encountered a band, thanks to his friend Kim Fowley, known as ''Laughing Wind'' who he met during a performance that included The Yardbirds. The concert was actually located in Markley's mansion in Los Angeles after The Yardbirds could not book any other performance. Multitudes of directors and musicians like Jeff Beck and Jim McGuinn of The Byrds were also present as guests in the sizable gathering.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Yardbirds in the USA )〕 The Laughing Wind was composed of future bandmates Michael Lloyd, Danny Harris, and Shaun Harris. Markley was less concerned about the band's actual performance than he was with the crowd a rock band brought, particularly young women. His obsession with young girls would be a strange part of Markley's personality that would directly affect his later music.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Legend of: The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band )〕 Markley proposed the band and he align as a new group. The group reluctantly accepted Markley's offer, as they were persuaded by Markley's wealth, and The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band was formed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band Discography )〕
