Введение
Американская группа The Strangeloves была создана в 1964 году американской командой авторов песен и продюсеров из Нью-Йорка – Бобом Фельдманом, Джерри Голдштейном и Ричардом Готтеррером. Поначалу они выдавали себя за австралийцев и в 1961–62 годах записали несколько синглов, не попавших в чарты, под названием дуэта Bob & Jerry. В 1962 году они объединились с Готтеррером и основали FGG Productions.
the English alternative band
The Strangeloves were a band created in 1964 by the New York based American songwriting and production team of Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein, and Richard Gottehrer. They initially pretended to be from Australia. and recorded a couple of non charting singles as the duo Bob & Jerry in 1961–62. They linked up with Gottehrer in 1962, formed FGG Productions,
The Strangeloves' first single, as the Strange Loves,
The Strangeloves' only LP, I Want Candy, was released in 1965 on Bang Records, with several of the album tracks having been released as singles. Other singles by The Strangeloves appeared on Swan Records and Sire Records. The Strangeloves continued recording singles, with moderate American success, through 1968. In their "home" country of Australia, they only scraped the very bottom of the singles charts, but a real Australian group, Johnny Young & Kompany, had a hit in Australia in 1966 with a cover of the Strangeloves' "Cara Lin" (retitled "Cara Lyn"). The FGG trio also collaborated on a charting 1965 single credited to The Beach Nuts, and took on the guise of The Sheep for two charting singles in 1966. Feldman and Goldstein (without Gottehrer) also recorded charting hits in 1966 as Rome & Paris, and in 1969 as The Rock & Roll Dubble Bubble Trading Card Co. of Philadelphia 19141. On his own, Goldstein wrote, produced and arranged a 1966 solo single, "Watch The People Dance," under the name Giles Strange, which failed to chart. Feldman and Gottehrer also issued a non charting 1970 single ("Right On" b/w "Shakey Jakes") as The Strange Bros. Show. The following credit appeared on most Strangeloves records (as well as several other records produced by FGG): "arranged and conducted by Bassett Hand." In fact, there is no Bassett Hand; it was a tongue in cheek pseudonym for the band's creators. Two instrumental singles credited to Bassett Hand were released around the time The Strangeloves were getting started: "In Detroit" (1964) and "The Happy Organ Shake" (1965). Neither single charted nationally, although "In Detroit" appeared on a Chicago top 40 list as an "Up 'N' Coming" song in October 1964. In December 2018, after a gap of 53 years, Feldman, Goldstein and Gottehrer sang together, backed by the band Yo La Tengo, at a surprise show at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City.

Единственный LP The Strangeloves, "I Want Candy", был выпущен в 1965 году на Bang Records, и несколько треков с альбома вышли в виде синглов. Другие синглы The Strangeloves издавались на Swan Records и Sire Records. The Strangeloves продолжали записывать синглы, добиваясь умеренного успеха в Америке, вплоть до 1968 года. В своей "родной" Австралии они едва попадали в нижние строчки хит-парадов, однако австралийская группа Johnny Young & Kompany в 1966 году имела успех в Австралии с кавер-версией "Cara Lin" The Strangeloves (переименованной в "Cara Lyn"). Трио FGG также сотрудничало при создании хита 1965 года, приписанного The Beach Nuts, и использовало псевдоним The Sheep для двух синглов, вошедших в чарты в 1966 году. Фельдман и Голдштейн (без Готтеррера) также записали хиты в 1966 году под именем Rome & Paris, а в 1969 году – как The Rock & Roll Dubble Bubble Trading Card Co. of Philadelphia 19141. В 1966 году Голдштейн самостоятельно написал, спродюсировал и аранжировал сольный сингл "Watch The People Dance" под псевдонимом Giles Strange, который не попал в чарты. Фельдман и Готтерр также выпустили сингл 1970 года ("Right On" b/w "Shakey Jakes") под названием The Strange Bros. Show, который не имел коммерческого успеха. На большинстве пластинок The Strangeloves (а также на ряде других записей, спродюсированных FGG) указывалось: "Аранжировка и дирижирование – Бассетт Хэнд". На самом деле Бассетта Хэнда не существует; это был шутливый псевдоним создателей группы. Два инструментальных сингла, приписанных Бассетту Хэнду, были выпущены примерно в то время, когда The Strangeloves начинали свою деятельность: "In Detroit" (1964) и "The Happy Organ Shake" (1965). Ни один из синглов не попал в национальные чарты, хотя "In Detroit" вошел в список 40 лучших песен в Чикаго как "Up 'N' Coming" в октябре 1964 года. В декабре 2018 года, после перерыва в 53 года, Фельдман, Голдштейн и Готтерр выступили вместе, поддержанные группой Yo La Tengo, на неожиданном концерте в Bowery Ballroom в Нью-Йорке.

Карьера после "Чужих любовников"
Их песни были записаны Дэвидом Боуи, Bauhaus, The J. Geils Band, The Fleshtones, Аароном Картером, Джорджем Торогудом и Bow Wow Wow. Готтерр впоследствии прославился как продюсер ранних исполнителей CBGB, включая Ричарда Хелла и The Voidoids, The Fleshtones и Blondie, а также как сооснователь Sire Records вместе с Сеймуром Стейном. Он также работал с Робертом Гордоном, одним из многих, кто возродил рокабилли в конце 1970-х годов, и спродюсировал получивший признание критиков дебютный альбом Маршалла Креншоу. В 1980-х годах он продолжил работать над успешными альбомами The Bongos, их фронтмена Ричарда Барона, The Go-Go's и многих других. Позже он основал влиятельную независимую дистрибьюторскую компанию The Orchard. В качестве продюсера и менеджера Голдштейн также продолжал оказывать влияние на музыкальный мир. Он предложил группе Nightshift объединиться с Эриком Бердоном, что привело к созданию группы War, и взял Circle Jerks под управление своей компании Far Out Productions и на лейбл LAX. Все три участницы The Strangeloves приняли участие в интервью в документальном фильме BANG! "История Берта Бернса", который был снят в соавторстве сыном Берта Бернса Бреттом Бернсом и Бобом Сарлесом. Боб Фельдман скончался 23 августа 2023 года, через девять дней после своего 83-го дня рождения.
