__NOTOC__ Herb Metoyer is a Detroit-based singer-songwriter and novelist, best known for his folk music and other work involving New Orleans and Louisiana. He was an early mentor to, and lifelong influence on, Mike Taylor, who performed extensively with John Denver and co-wrote the song Rocky Mountain High. ==Musical career== Metoyer has been writing songs for more than 40 years, and was one of the few African Americans to come out of the 1960s folk movement, being prominently associated with Fred Neil and his group of musicians. It has been said about him/them that "''Though the folk movement of the early sixties has always been seen as white and middle class, it included many compelling black folk acts, such as Odetta, Richie Havens, and lesser know names like Herb Metoyer, Josh White Jr, Terry Callier, Major Wiley and many others that were part of Fred Neil's circle of friends and were touched by his music. It is one of the great injustices that these hugely talented artists remain forgotten and under appreciated even today.''" He has played with Joni Mitchell, Mike Taylor, Josh White, Vince Martin, and many others.〔 His vinyl album "Something New", recorded in 1965 on MGM’s Verve Folkways label received a Four Star rating by ''Billboard'' magazine. It has become a classic folk album that is sold as a collector's item. His song "Mother, Fools are a Long Time Coming" was recorded on Fred Neil's ''Sessions'' album, a copy of which was placed by astronauts in a time capsule on the moon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography )〕 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「Herb Metoyer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
