"Son of My Father" is a song popularised in 1972 by Chicory Tip. The song was originally published in German as "Nachts Scheint Die Sonne" (''In the Night Shines the Sun''), written by Giorgio Moroder with German lyrics by Michael Holm in 1971, and English lyrics by Pete Bellotte. The German version "Nachts Scheint Die Sonne" by Michael Holm was released in 1971, while Giorgio also released the English version "Son of My Father" under the moniker Giorgio. However, Moroder's version failed to chart in the UK. The song was released by Chicory Tip in 1972 and this version reached No. 1 on the UK single chart in February 1972.〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=22 June 2015 )〕 Since its release, the tune of the chorus of "Son of My Father" has been regularly used on the terraces of British football grounds for football chants. ==Chicory Tip's version== A copy of Giorgio's version found its way to studio manager Roger Easterby who persuaded British band Chicory Tip to record it in English. The song, produced by Easterby and Des Champ, was recorded on Christmas Eve 1971 in the studio of George Martin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chicory Tip )〕 The song is notable as the first UK number one single to prominently feature a synthesizer, in this case a Moog synthesizer, programmed by Chris Thomas. The B side of the single is "Pride Comes Before A Fall".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chicory Tip – Son Of My Father )〕 The song reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in February 1972. The band released the song in the US under the shortened name Chicory,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chicory * – Son Of My Father )〕 but it only reached No. 91 on ''Billboard'' Hot 100.〔 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「Son of My Father」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
