Pablo Cruise is a pop/rock band currently composed of David Jenkins (guitar and vocals), Cory Lerios (keyboards and vocals), Steve Price (drums) and Larry Antonino (bass and vocals). Formed in 1973, the band released eight studio albums over the next decade, during which time four singles reached the top 20 of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. The group underwent several personnel changes and split up in 1986. The original lineup - Jenkins, Lerios, Price and Bud Cockrell - reunited in 2004. ==History== Pablo Cruise began in San Francisco, in 1973, with former members of Stoneground (Cory Lerios on keyboards and vocals, David Jenkins as vocalist and on guitar, and Steve Price on drums) and It's a Beautiful Day (Bud Cockrell on bass and vocals).〔, accessed April 6, 2007〕 Initially, there were many fans who were left wondering who Pablo Cruise really was. When asked the question, the band, which is a quartet, would answer, "He's the guy in the middle." When asked what Pablo Cruise meant, the band would say that "Pablo represents an honest, real, down to earth individual; and Cruise depicts his fun loving and easy going attitude towards life." 〔(About Pablo Cruise )〕 The band released its first album in 1975, a minor success self-titled ''Pablo Cruise'', and their second album in 1976, titled ''Lifeline''. Their second album achieved slightly higher success than their first but still only managed to chart at No. 139 in the United States. 1977's ''A Place in the Sun'' was the turning point in the band's career as they finally entered the mainstream music scene. With hit single "Whatcha Gonna Do?" and the title track "A Place in the Sun", the album peaked at No. 19 on the ''Billboard'' charts. Other chart hits followed, including "Love Will Find a Way" and "Don't Want to Live Without It" (both in 1978), "I Want You Tonight" in 1979, and "Cool Love" in 1981. "Whatcha Gonna Do?" and "Love Will Find a Way" had nearly identical seven-week ascents on the Hot 100, capping with their #6 peaks, a year to the week apart, from mid-July through August. 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「Pablo Cruise」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
