"Harry Truman" is a song written by Robert Lamm for the group Chicago and recorded for their album ''Chicago VIII'' (1975), with lead vocals by Lamm. The first single released from that album, it reached number thirteen on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/chicago-mn0000110161/awards )〕 Written after the resignation of U.S. President Richard Nixon, the lyrics are a tribute to a former President that Lamm felt the American people could trust — straight-talking Harry S. Truman. “America needs you, Harry Truman”.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.chicagotheband.com/history09.htm )〕 Despite its popularity at the time, the Beatlesque “Harry Truman” only appears on two of Chicago's compilation albums: ''Group Portrait'' (now out of print) and ''The Box''. It is rarely performed in the band's live shows. This song was “performed” by Chicago in late 1974 as part of the 1975 ''Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve'' special, in which Chicago guitarist Terry Kath can be seen mocking the band's obvious lip-synching by holding cue cards depicting the song's lyrics. ==Personnel== * Robert Lamm - lead vocals, harmony vocals, piano, applause * Terry Kath - backing vocals, fuzzed wah-wah electric guitar (incl. solo), applause * Peter Cetera - backing vocals, bass, applause * Danny Seraphine - drums, applause * Laudir de Oliveira - shakers, applause * Jimmy Pankow - trombone, applause * Lee Loughnane - trumpet, applause * Walter Parazaider - tenor saxophone, double-tracked clarinet, applause * Caribou Kitchenettes - background vocals 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「Harry Truman (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
