Hungry (Paul Revere & The Raiders Song)
"Hungry" is a 1966 hit single composed by the songwriting team of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, and performed by Paul Revere & the Raiders. Recording In contrast with the Raiders' previous top 10 hit, the guitar-driven "Kicks", the single "Hungry" has bassist Phil Volk playing the main riff. The creation of the bass line in "Hungry" was complex. It required that the bass part be recorded 3 times, then overdubbed. The components had to be synchronized: first, a normal bass line. That was followed by a line that was an octave higher and the last track was recorded as a fuzz bass, which was created by turning up an amplifier full blast, as using bass pedals wasn't available in those years. The result was what author and Rolling Stone critic Dave Marsh calls, "...the center of the performance...a lethal bass line". Lead singer Mark Lindsay plays tambourine on the record. Chart performance "Hungry" was recorded on the Columbia label, and the song reached No. 6 on the ''Billboard'' H ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
