Although released as the B-side of the group's debut single ''Open My Eyes'' it was picked up in preference to the A-side by Boston radio station WMEX, where it rose to #1, and was subsequently picked up by other stations. It first charted on October 6, 1973 at #97 and peaked at #5 on Billboard's Hot 100 on December 22, 1973 on the U.S. charts. Rundgren's songs in this early phase of his career were heavily influenced by the work of Laura Nyro, but in a 2005 interview he revealed that the basic structure of the song was adapted from the introduction of a Jimmy Smith recording: Rundgren recorded an uptempo version of ''Hello It's Me'' on his 1972 solo album ''Something/Anything?''. Although a remake of the original, this new version became widely popular and has since become a staple of the classic rock genre. An edit of this version was released as a single in 1973 and became Rundgren's only major pop hit, reaching #5 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. 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「Hello It's Me」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
