The Churchills (or The Churchills Band) was an Israeli band founded in 1965, active until the mid-1970s. It was a part of the rhythm bands scene that were active in Israel in the 1970s, especially in Ramla. The band played rock music in English, from psychedelic rock to hard rock and progressive rock. It was also active in other countries, under the aliases of Jericho Jones and Jericho. It was one of the first Israeli rock bands. The band was a leading force in the early Israeli beat scene, but it was their cooperation with Arik Einstein that helped them cross over to the mainstream of Israeli pop and gain recognition. Their collaboration with Einstein proved to be very influential on Israeli rock. It began when the Churchills were invited to work with Einstein on his third solo album ''Poozy'', recorded in 1969. This is considered by many to be the first rock album in Hebrew. The Churchills played on half of the tracks in that album, one of which was a Hebrew version of one of their own songs ("When You're Gone"). Following ''Poozy'', the Churchills also played with Einstein in his gigs, and continued to play and produce three more albums with Einstein: ''Shablul'' (1970), ''Plastelina'' (1970) and ''On Avigdor's Grass'' (1971). Contributory to the Churchills' sound at the time was the joining of two foreign members: Canadian vocalist Stan Solomon and British guitarist Robb Huxley (formerly with The Tornados). ==Band members== * First Ensemble (1965–1967) * * Itzhak Klepter - Guitar * * Miki Gavrielov - Bass Guitar * * Haim Romano - Guitar * * Ami Traibetch - Drums * * Selwyn Lifshitz * Second Ensemble (1968–1969) * * Robb Huxley - Guitar, Vocals * * Miki Gavrielov - Bass * * Haim Romano - Guitar * * Stan Solomon - Vocals * * Ami Traibetch - Drums * Third Ensemble (1969–1972) * * Robb Huxley - Guitar, Vocals * * Miki Gavrielov - Bass * * Haim Romano - Guitar * * Dani Shoshan - Vocals * * Ami Traibetch - Drums * Fourth Ensemble (1972-1973) * * Robb Huxley - Guitar, Vocals * * Haim Romano - Lead Guitar * * Danny Shoshan - Bass, Lead Vocals * * Chris Perry - Drums * Fifth Ensemble (1972–1973) (as The New Churchills) * * Miki Gavrielov - Bass * * Roni Demol - Guitar * * Shmulik Bodgov - Guitar * * Ami Traibetch - Drums 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 Churchills」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
