Currently, the best-known version is The Jimi Hendrix Experience's 1966 recording, their debut single. The song title is sometimes given as "Hey Joe, Where You Gonna Go?" or similar variations. ==Authorship== While claimed by the late Tim Rose to be a traditional song,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The Official Tim Rose Website )〕 or often erroneously attributed to the pen of American musician Dino Valenti (who also went by the names Chester or Chet Powers, and Jesse Farrow), "Hey Joe" was registered for copyright in the U.S. in 1962 by Billy Roberts.〔 Scottish folk singer Len Partridge has claimed that he helped write the song with Roberts when they both performed in clubs in Edinburgh in 1956.〔(Double Take: 'Hey Joe', in ''The Independent'' )〕 Other sources (including singer Pat Craig) claim that Roberts assigned the rights to the song to his friend Valenti while Valenti was in jail, in order to give him some income upon release.〔 Roberts was a relatively obscure California-based folk singer, guitarist and harmonica player who performed on the West Coast coffeehouse circuit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.billystapleton.com/BillyRoberts.html )〕 He later recorded the country rock album ''Thoughts of California'' with the band Grits in San Francisco in 1975, produced by Hillel Resner.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Popsike.com )〕 Resner has stated that a live recording of Roberts performing "Hey Joe" exists, dating from around 1961.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://heyjoeversions.wordpress.com/more-about-billy-roberts/ )〕 Roberts possibly drew inspiration for "Hey Joe" from three earlier works: his girlfriend Niela Miller's 1955 song "Baby, Please Don’t Go To Town"〔 (which uses a similar chord progression based on the circle of fifths);〔 Carl Smith's 1953 US country hit "Hey Joe!" (written by Boudleaux Bryant), which shared the title and the "questioning" format;〔http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/carl_smith/hey_joe.html〕 and the early 20th century traditional ballad "Little Sadie", which tells of a man on the run after he has shot his wife. The lyrics to "Little Sadie" often locate the events in Thomasville, North Carolina, and "down in" Jericho, South Carolina (a large rice plantation in the lowlands)〔http://mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=3644〕〔http://ldhi.library.cofc.edu/exhibits/show/forgotten_fields/intro_plantation_case_studies/jericho_plantation〕 Roberts was himself born in South Carolina. Variations of "Little Sadie" have been recorded under various titles (including "Bad Lee Brown", "Penitentiary Blues", "Cocaine Blues", "Whiskey Blues") by many artists, including Clarence Ashley (1930),〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Folkways Records )〕 Johnny Cash (1960 & 1968), Slim Dusty (1961),〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Slim Dusty Home Page )〕 and Bob Dylan (1970). Some versions change the southbound location from Jericho (South Carolina) to Mexico. Despite extensive archives of U.S. folk and blues music, and studies of the same, in the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Smithsonian Institution )〕 and other bodies, no documentary evidence has been provided to support the claim, by Tim Rose〔 and others, that "Hey Joe" is a wholly traditional work. Rights to the song were administered from 1966 into the 2000s by the music publisher Third Story Music (now Third Palm Music); there the author is listed as Billy Roberts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Broadcast Music Incorporated )〕 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「Hey Joe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
