"Somebody's Knockin" is the debut single of American country music singer Terri Gibbs. It was released in late 1980 from her debut album, ''Somebody's Knockin''. It was co-written by Jerry Gillespie and Ed Penney: Penney was a record company executive who liked Gibbs's voice when he first heard her audition tape, but felt she needed stronger material. 〔 Nancy Bishop. "Terri Gibbs: At Last Fame is Knockin' at her Door." Dallas Morning News, November 23, 1981 Paper, p. C8. 〕 Penney was a former Boston disc jockey who had promoted records and written a number of songs before moving to Nashville. 〔 Dick Dew. "Rate Tony C. A 'Natural' As Singer." Boston Sunday Advertiser, January 17, 1965, p. 52. 〕 He was the producer of "Somebody's Knockin'" and became Terri Gibbs's manager. 〔 Ken Mayer. "The Night Mayer." Boston Herald, June 26, 1982, p. B8. 〕 ==Critical reception== An uncredited review in ''Billboard'' praised Gibbs' "unusual vocal sound" and the "Louisiana-flavored production". The song's success led to Gibbs winning the 1981 Academy of Country Music Top Female Vocalist award, and the first Horizon (now New Artist) Award from the Country Music Association. It was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Country Song. 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「Somebody's Knockin'」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
