The Shadows

Rock
Rock

The Shadows is a Rock act. Their sound grew out of Buddy Holly, The Hollies, Duane Eddy, Jack Clement and Take My Breath Away. Those roots explain a lot about how The Shadows arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Duane Eddy, Cliff Richard, Manfred Mann, The Tremeloes and Herman's Hermits, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Miquel Brown, Alan Hawkshaw, The Scorpions, Prljavo Kazalište and Jerry Williams, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 57 connections around The Shadows, reaching back through Buddy Holly and forward to Miquel Brown.
