Joseph William Feliciano Smith (born December 25, 1947) is a Filipino singer-songwriter, drummer and guitarist. More commonly known alternately as Joey Smith and Pepe Smith, he is an icon of original Filipino rock music or "Pinoy rock". ==Early life== Smith was born 25 December 1947. His father, Edgar William Smith, was a U.S. serviceman, and his mother, Conchita Feliciano, was from Angeles, Pampanga, where the huge Clark Air Force base was located. Smith said his father told him he had served as a naval aviator in World War Two, flying the Grumman F8F Bearcat and the Vought F4U Corsair. Smith spent his first years in Angeles, often visiting the airbase, where his father would take him to the flightline to watch the U.S. military aircraft take off and land. To this day, he has a fascination with, and collects model airplanes. When he was eight years old, his parents separated, and his mother died from hepatitis. Smith and his younger brother Raymond went to live with their grandmother, Concordia Go, in Kamuning, Quezon City.〔http://bszepol.multiply.com/journal〕 Smith continued to live with his grandmother on and off for the next 50 years, even during his heyday as a rock icon, and she was affectionately known to the Pinoy rock community as "Lola Smith" (Granny Smith). Smith said he never had the opportunity to speak to his father again, although he briefly corresponded with an American half-sister from another family his father had started when he returned to the U.S. Joey Smith has a younger half brother who lives with his wife in Germany. His brother Allan Villahermosa Smith, like their father, also served for the US Air Force. 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「Pepe Smith」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
