Frederick Emerson Small (born November 6, 1952), known publicly as Fred Small, is an American singer-songwriter. He is also a lawyer and a Unitarian Universalist minister. His songs often make a political or ethical statement. Among his best-known songs are "Heart of the Appaloosa," "Everything Possible," "Peace Is", and "Cranes Over Hiroshima". He is hailed by Pete Seeger as "one of America's best songwriters". His debut album, ''Love's Gonna Carry Us'' (1981), featured Small singing and accompanying himself on guitar. As his fame and success increased, so too did the production level of his albums, as he included more instrumentation, and appearances by other artists, including instrumental and vocal backing by popular New England folk artists. Famous fiddlers, guitarists, and mandolin players alike became a part of Small's discography and helped Small increase his popularity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=Craig )〕 In 1996 he became the minister of First Church Unitarian in Littleton, Massachusetts. On April 20, 2008, he was called as Senior Minister at First Parish in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Small resigned in September 2015 to work full-time for climate justice as the founder of the Creation Coalition, an education and advocacy organization that inspires and empowers people of faith to respond to the climate crisis through political engagement. ==Discography== * ''Love's Gonna Carry Us'' (Aquifer, 1981) * ''The Heart of the Appaloosa'' (Rounder Records, 1983) * ''No Limit'' (Rounder, 1985) * ''I Will Stand Fast'' (Flying Fish Records, 1988) * ''Jaguar'' (Flying Fish, 1991) * ''Everything Possible'' (Flying Fish, 1993) * ''Only Love'' (Aquifer, 2001) 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「Fred Small (singer-songwriter)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
