Kim Brown (2 May 1945 – 11 October 2011)〔(Thedeadrockstarsclub.com ) - accessed 13 October 2011〕 was a British-born Finland-based musician, best known for his band, The Renegades,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WangDangDula.com )〕 which reached their greatest success during the 1960s. ==Life and career== Brown was born in Birmingham, England,〔 but lived much of his life in Finland, where he made a career in rock music.〔(Muistot.hs.fi ), ''Helsingin Sanomat'', 11 October 2011 〕 In later years, he played with such musicians as Hasse Walli and Markus Raivio.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hasse Walli )〕 The Renegades recorded four albums in Finland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hasse Walli )〕 The tribute album, ''Moments with Kim Brown'' (2005), was made after Brown lost his voice in a cancer operation.〔〔(Pinkka.kirjastot.fi (Finnish) )〕 Brown wrote many of the #1 songs for The Renegades, played guitar and was the lead vocalist of the band.〔 From 1975 on though, he temporarily moved to Italy where he created a 1950s-styled classic rock'n'roll combo called Kim & The Cadillacs, featuring German guitarist Trutz Viking Groth and former-Renegade Mick Webley, which rode the late seventies 1950s craze heralded by shows such as ''Happy Days'' and the movie ''Grease''. Kim & The Cadillacs had regular chart success in Italy between 1976 and 1982, and were regulars on all kinds of national television shows there, including ''Discoring'' and ''Festival di Sanremo'', only to become quickly forgotten when new musical tendencies advanced in the early 1980s. Kim Brown then returned to Finland, though visiting Italy occasionally for guest appearances in ''oldies'' shows or dance hall gigs in resort towns.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Interview * * *English version * * * - translation: chef Mene )〕 The music of the Renegades was heavily featured in the 1994 Finnish film Take Care of Your Scarf, Tatiana directed by Aki Kaurismäki; this also included clips from some of their live performances from the 1960s. Kim Brown died of esophageal cancer in Helsinki, Finland, aged 66, on 11 October 2011.〔〔 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「Kim Brown (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
