Jimmy Campbell (Folk Pop Rock {UK})

Jimmy Campbell (4 de janeiro de 1944, Kirkby, Liverpool a 12 de fevereiro de 2007, Liverpool) foi um músico e compositor inglês de Liverpool, Inglaterra. Ele foi membro dos grupos Merseybeat The Kirkbys, The 23rd Turnoff e Rockin' Horse, além de lançar três álbuns solo.

HISTÓRIA

Campbell começou na música ainda na escola, formando a banda The Panthers. Eles apoiaram os Beatles em janeiro de 1962. A banda se apresentou no The Cavern em várias ocasiões, e um show, transmitido pela Rádio Luxemburgo, os apresentou como The Kirkbys por Bob Wooler, o apresentador do programa "Sunday Night at the Cavern" . Wooler sentiu que mudar o nome do grupo para sua cidade natal ajudaria a expandir sua base de fãs. O nome pegou e o grupo lançou um single, "It's a crime", em 1966, no final da era Merseybeat.

Campbell mudou do som Mersey para a cena psicodélica em evolução, renomeando a banda para The 23rd Turnoff. O nome foi retirado da placa da autoestrada que indica a saída próxima da M6. Aqui ele descobriu que suas raízes em Liverpool o colocavam em desvantagem, com a cena se estabelecendo em Londres. Descrito por Bob Stanley do The Times como "o compositor perdido da época", Campbell escreveu uma série de canções gravadas por outros artistas. Cliff Richard, Billy Fury, The Swinging Blue Jeans e Rolf Harris fizeram covers de músicas de Campbell's. Embora Campbell não tenha sido aclamado nas décadas de 1960 e 1970, seu trabalho mais tarde passou a ser bem visto, com Will Sergeant nomeando o single de Campbell "Michael Angelo", gravado com a The 23rd Turnoff entre seus dez melhores discos psicodélicos. O The Guardian incluiu a coletânea de 2004, "The dream of Michelangelo", em sua lista de "1000 álbuns para ouvir antes de morrer".

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jimmy Campbell (4 January 1944, Kirkby, Liverpool to 12 February 2007, Liverpool) was an English musician and songwriter from Liverpool, England. He was a member of Merseybeat groups The Kirkbys, The 23rd Turnoff, and Rockin' Horse, as well as releasing three solo albums.

HISTORY

Campbell started in music at school, forming the band The Panthers. They supported The Beatles in January 1962. The band performed at The Cavern on numerous occasions, and one show, broadcast on Radio Luxembourg, saw them introduced as The Kirkbys by Bob Wooler, the presenter of the show, "Sunday Night at the Cavern". Wooler felt that changing the name of the group to that of their home town would help expand its fan base. The name stuck, and the group released a single, "It's a crime", in 1966, at the tail end of the Merseybeat era.

Campbell moved on from the Mersey sound to the newly evolving psychedelic scene, renaming the band to The 23rd Turnoff. The name was taken from the motorway sign indicating the nearby M6 exit. Here he found his Liverpool roots placed him at a disadvantage, with the scene establishing itself in London. Described by Bob Stanley of The Times as "the era's lost songwriter", Campbell wrote a number of songs recorded by other artists. Cliff Richard, Billy Fury, The Swinging Blue Jeans and Rolf Harris all covered songs of Campbell's. Although Campbell did not achieve acclaim in the 1960s and 1970s, his work later came to be well regarded, with Will Sergeant naming Campbell's single "Michael Angelo", recorded with The 23rd Turnoff among his top ten psychedelic records. The Guardian included the 2004 compilation album, "The dream of Michelangelo", in its list of "1000 albums to hear before you die".
