"Don't Talk to Strangers" is a song by American rock group The Beau Brummels, released as the second single from the band's second album, ''The Beau Brummels, Volume 2''. The song later appeared on the band's 1987 compilation album ''The Best of The Beau Brummels 1964–1968''. The single peaked at number 52 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in November 1965;〔 〕 its relatively low chart placement possibly being the result of the band's label, Autumn Records, verging on collapse at the time.〔 〕 The song reached number 16 on the Canadian singles chart.〔 〕 "Don't Talk to Strangers" was written by Ron Elliott and Bob Durand. Sylvester Stewart, later known as Sly Stone, produced the track. The song has received generally positive reviews in the decades since its release. ''San Francisco Chronicle'' music critic Joel Selvin called the song inventive, while author Maury Dean praised the song's "raging chord patterns and dynamic harmonies," and called the instrumental bridge "second to none in punch and pulse in power."〔 The song has been criticized, however, for sounding too similar to The Byrds in regards to the harmonies and twelve-string guitar licks.〔 〕 A live performance of the song from February 1974 is included on the band's 2000 ''Live!'' album, which was recorded in Fair Oaks Village near Sacramento, California.〔 〕 ==Track listing== ;7" Vinyl 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「Don't Talk to Strangers (The Beau Brummels song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
