The Hombres were an American band from Memphis, Tennessee, best known for the 1967 single "Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)". Formed in 1966, The Hombres comprised Jerry Lee Masters, (Leader and bass player), Gary Wayne McEwen on guitar, B. B. Cunningham, Jr. (died October 14, 2012; brother of Bill Cunningham of The Box Tops) on lead vocals and electric organ, and John Will Hunter (died February 1976) on drums. Written by Masters, Hunter, McEwen and Cunningham and released on Verve Forecast, "Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)" hit No. 12 in 1967 and was revived on the soundtrack of the 2005 Cameron Crowe film ''Elizabethtown''. On WLS The Box Tops' "The Letter" and The Hombres' "Let It Out" were 1-2 on 20–27 October 1967.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WLS Silver Dollar Survey )〕 "Let It Hang Out" has also been used in a U.S. advertising campaign for Foster's Lager and included on the compilation album ''Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era''. An alternate version of the song by the disc jockey Barney Pip was included on the ''Pebbles Volume 7'' CD. The song was also covered by Jonathan King in 1969, and appeared on his 1989 compilation album, ''The Butterfly That Stamped''. Yet another version was recorded by The Nails in the mid 1980s. The song appears as a hidden track on John Mellencamp's 1989 album ''Big Daddy''. The song's spoken intro – "A preachment, dear friends, you are about to receive on John Barleycorn, nicotine and the temptations of Eve" – dates to the 1947 novelty recording "Cigareets, Whuskey and Wild, Wild Women" by Red Ingle and His Natural Seven. ==Discography== * 1967: "Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)" (Cunningham; Masters, Hunter, McEwen), Verve Forecast 5058 - #12 US, #16 AUS. 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「The Hombres」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
