"Someone's Coming" is a single by British singer-songwriter Steve Harley, released as the second and final single from his first solo album ''Hobo with a Grin'' in 1978. ==Background== "Someone's Coming" was written by Harley and guitarist Jo Partridge, who was in Harley's band Cockney Rebel from 1976-1977. It was produced by Harley. For the single release, a remixed version of the song was used.〔 The single, like the album and the lead single "Roll the Dice", was a commercial failure, where it failed to make an appearance on the UK top 100 chart. The song, like the album, was recorded and released following Harley's return from living in America for the past year. The song, like the entire ''Hobo with a Grin'' album was either recorded at Sunset Sound, EMI Studio/Abbey Road or Record Plant in Los Angeles. Any remixing or additional recording was done in Los Angeles as well, whilst the song and the album was mixed at Sunset Sound Recorders, Hollywood, California. In The Morning Call of 23 September 1978, an American daily newspaper for Allentown, Pennsylvania, an article/interview with Harley was written by Len Righi, and spoke of the song originally being written for Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, with the article stating ''"The first track on side two, "Someone's Coming," is one of the oldest songs on the Harley LP."'' Harley was quoted, noting ''"That's Cockney Rebel."'' In relation to Marc Bolan's appearance playing guitar on the album track "Amerika the Brave", Harley stated ''"The last time Marc went in the studio was for 'Amerika the Brave'. He also can be heard singing background on 'Someone's Coming,' though he's not credited. Bolan was a close friend. I had known him for a couple of years. We were a lot different. He was much more of an extrovert than me, but we grew very close. They say opposites attract."'' Bolan also played acoustic guitar on the song, but was again uncredited. 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「Someone's Coming」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
