Gary Lewis (musician)
Gary Lewis (born Gary Harold Lee Levitch, July 31, 1946,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.classicbands.com/garylewis.html )〕 Los Angeles, California, United States) is an American musician who was the leader of Gary Lewis & the Playboys.〔
==Early life==
Gary Lewis is the son of comedian and actor Jerry Lewis.〔 His mother, Patti Lewis (née Esther Calonico), a singer at the time with the Ted Fio Rito Orchestra, reportedly intended to name him after her favorite actor, Cary Grant, but a clerical error led to his naming as "Gary".〔
He received a set of drums as a gift for his 14th birthday in 1960.〔 When he was 18, Lewis formed what would become Gary Lewis & the Playboys (then known as "Gary and the Playboys") with four other friends.〔 Joking at the lateness of bandmates to practice, Lewis referred to them as "playboys", and the name stuck. Lewis was the drummer, but at that time singing duties were held by guitarist Dave Walker.〔 As the band started, Gary's mother was quietly funding the purchases of equipment, as they believed Gary's father would not have supported the band.〔 This could explain why, even though he lived down the street from the Lewis family, producer Snuff Garrett wasn't aware of Gary's band until a mutual friend, conductor Lou Brown, informed him that the band was playing at Disneyland and that Garrett should give them a listen.〔
