"Bye Bye Love" is a popular song written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant and published in 1957. It is best known in a debut recording by the Everly Brothers, issued by Cadence Records as catalog number 1315. The song reached number 2 on the US ''Billboard'' Pop charts and number 1 on the ''Cash Box'' Best Selling Record charts. The Everly Brothers' version also enjoyed major success as a country song, reaching number 1 in the spring of 1957. The Everlys' "Bye Bye Love" is ranked 210th on ''Rolling Stone'' magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". The guitar intro to the song was not originally part of the song but was something that Don Everly had come up with that was just tacked on to the beginning.〔https://books.google.com/books?id=DL6gHNXWToQC&pg=PA90&lpg=PA90&dq=%22Chet+Atkins%22++%22bye+bye+love%22&source=bl&ots=Ywe524Lp0H&sig=VDuQs0tYcvax5nrpa8vDPmd_NIg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiOrY3a66rJAhWJMYgKHdjDB24Q6AEIMTAD#v=onepage&q=%22Chet%20Atkins%22%20%20%22bye%20bye%20love%22&f=false〕 Chet Atkins was the lead guitar player on the session.〔https://rockhall.com/inductees/chet-atkins/timeline/〕 Buddy Harmon was the drummer.〔http://www.allmusic.com/artist/buddy-harmon-mn0000642220〕 ==George Harrison's version== In 1974, George Harrison recorded "Bye Bye, Love" for his album ''Dark Horse''. As well as inserting a comma in the song title, Harrison wrote additional lyrics and a radically different melody line.〔The Editors of ''Rolling Stone'', ''Harrison'', Rolling Stone Press/Simon & Schuster (New York, NY, 2002; ISBN 0-7432-3581-9), p. 46.〕〔Lindsay Planer, ("George Harrison 'Bye Bye, Love'" ), AllMusic (retrieved 22 March 2012).〕 Author Chris Ingham describes Harrison's version as "recomposed in a minor key and featuring pointedly customised lyrics".〔Chris Ingham, ''The Rough Guide to the Beatles'', Rough Guides/Penguin (London, 2006; 2nd edn; ISBN 978-1-84836-525-4), p. 134.〕 The new words were in reference to his wife Pattie Boyd having left him for their mutual friend Eric Clapton:〔Alan Clayson, ''George Harrison'', Sanctuary (London, 2003; ISBN 1-86074-489-3), p. 343.〕 In a later verse, Harrison states that he has "''got tired of ladies that plot and shove me''", before apparently dismissing his wife's affair as "''our lady ... out on a spree''". Rumours circulated that Clapton himself contributed on guitar and Boyd on backing vocals,〔Keith Badman, ''The Beatles Diary Volume 2: After the Break-Up 1970–2001'', Omnibus Press (London, 2001; ISBN 0-7119-8307-0), p. 135.〕 but they were incorrect,〔Michael Gross, "George Harrison: How ''Dark Horse'' Whipped Up a Winning Tour", ''CIrcus Raves'', March 1975; available at (Rock's Backpages ) (''subscription required''; retrieved 14 July 2012).〕〔Mark Ellen, "A Big Hand for The Quiet One", ''Q'', January 1988, p. 66.〕 although the new couple were credited on the inner sleeve notes.〔 Harrison had written their names along with other cryptic messages among the album's musician credits,〔 whereupon an assistant then sought permission from Clapton's record company and added the standard acknowledgment, reading: "Eric Clapton appears through the courtesy of RSO Records."〔Simon Leng, ''While My Guitar Gently Weeps: The Music of George Harrison'', Hal Leonard (Milwaukee, WI, 2006; ISBN 1-4234-0609-5), p. 152.〕 The song also included a credit for "Rhythm Ace", which Tom Scott explained soon after the album's release: "Rhythm Ace is an electronic machine that plays any rhythm – a boogaloo, a cha-cha or a rhumba. I suppose a lot of people will think it's a person."〔 In fact, Harrison played all the instruments on the recording, using the multitrack facilities at his Friar Park home studio:〔 two 12-string acoustic guitars, drums, Moog bass as well as bass guitar, three electric guitar parts, electric piano, bongos, together with his lead vocal and backing vocals. While Harrison dismissed the exercise as "just a little joke" in a 1977 interview,〔Keith Badman, ''The Beatles Diary Volume 2: After the Break-Up 1970–2001'', Omnibus Press (London, 2001; ISBN 0-7119-8307-0), p. 203.〕 his reading of "Bye Bye Love" drew harsh reactions from music critics when ''Dark Horse'' was released in December 1974.〔Nicholas Schaffner, ''The Beatles Forever'', McGraw-Hill (New York, NY, 1978; ISBN 0-07-055087-5), p. 178.〕 Decades later, it continues to find little favour with many reviewers; Richard Ginell of AllMusic calls it a "slipshod rewrite",〔Richard S. Ginell, ("George Harrison ''Dark Horse''" ), AllMusic (retrieved 11 March 2012).〕 Alan Clayson has written of the ex-Beatle's "blatant ... liberty-taking",〔 while Harrison's musical biographer, Simon Leng, views it as "one track on ''Dark Horse'' that seriously fails the quality-control test ... a desperately bad offering". Leng adds: "In its own way, 'Bye Bye, Love' is a classic 1970s period piece, from the era when rock stars used music to settle their own personal scores. Thankfully, George Harrison only made that mistake once."〔 Conversely, in a 2014 review for ''Uncut'', Richard Williams views Harrison's reading of "Bye, Bye Love" as a highlight of an album that otherwise "only a devoted Apple Scruff could love". With this cover version, Williams suggests, Harrison "sought the kind of return to bare-bones rock'n'roll simplicity Lennon had achieved with 'Instant Karma'".〔Richard Williams, "George Harrison ''The Apple Years 1968–75''", ''Uncut'', November 2014, p. 93.〕 Ingham also rates "Bye, Bye Love" among the best tracks on ''Dark Horse'', along with the title track and "Far East Man".〔 Another advocate of Harrison's rewrite, Blogcritics' Chaz Lipp describes it as "a funky and funny comment on the dissolution of his marriage".〔Chaz Lipp, ("Music Review: George Harrison's Apple Albums Remastered" ), Blogcritics, 5 October 2014 (retrieved 7 October 2014).〕 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「Bye Bye Love (The Everly Brothers song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
