ピーチズ&ハーブ (Peaches & Herb)

Peaches & Herb
Peaches & Herb are a vocalist duo, once comprising "Herb" Fame, and Francine "Peaches" Hurd Barker (born April 28, 1947, died August 13, 2005). Herb has remained a constant in "Peaches & Herb" since its creation in 1967, while five different women have filled the role of "Peaches".

Herb Fame (born Herbert Feemster, 1 October 1942, in Washington, D.C.), sang in church and neighborhood groups as a child. After graduation from high school, he worked in a local record store, where he eventually met record producer Van McCoy. McCoy agreed to let Fame audition, and decided to record him with Francine Barker, the lead singer of another group he was producing. The duo impressed McCoy so much that he released singles to local radio stations.

Francine "Peaches" Barker (so nicknamed by her mother as a newborn because of her fuzzy, "peach-like" cheeks) was born on April 28, 1947 in Washington, DC. Before joining with Herb, Peaches started her own singing group, The Sweet Things, who were also a signed music trio. Upon suggestion of Van McCoy, Francine and Herb teamed up. Peaches & Herb then had a string of successful singles in the next two years with the songs "Let’s Fall in Love", "Close Your Eyes", "For Your Love", and "Love Is Strange". Despite the duo's burgeoning success, Barker chose to leave the duo because of the rigours of touring. During this time she also worked as a solo artist. One of the more popular tunes is "Angels in the Sky" released on Columbia Records...
