"Let's Call It Quits" is a single from rock band Slade which appeared on the album Nobody's Fools. It was written by lead singer Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea. The single was released in 1976 and like the previous single, it peaked at #11 in the UK, spending 7 weeks on the chart.〔http://www.chartstats.com/〕 == Background == The single was Slade's last to chart in the top #20 region for five years. Usual loyal countries such as Netherlands, Austria and Germany did not have the single enter the top 100, again like the previous single. Slade's popularity was further declining, particularly because the band were living and touring in America, trying to crack the market there. For the September-December 1986 Slade fan club magazine, Lea was interviewed with one question mentioning that Slade’s 1986 track and 1987 single We Won’t Give In sounded similar to Nik Kershaw’s 1984 hit single Wouldn’t It Be Good. This led to Lea mentioning a court case against Let’s Call It Quits where someone found the song had similarities to Allen Toussaint’s penned 1973 track Brickyard Blues. Lea stated "We had a court case taken against us once for ‘Let’s Call It Quits’ because it sounded like a song called ‘Brickyard Blues’, a song that I had never heard before or since. We settled it out of court and agreed to give them 50%." The track was performed by Frank Skinner on his TV show live during the 1990s. Noddy Holder and Katy Hill were backing vocalists. Chris Ingham of Rock Backpages wrote ''"Let's Call It Quits proves that guitarist Dave Hill had the widest finger-driven vibrato in the history of rock guitar."'' 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「Let's Call It Quits (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
