#1 The Spiders were an American rhythm & blues vocal group from New Orleans, who achieved their greatest fame in the 1950s. The group was founded as a gospel group in 1947 under the name Zion City Harmonizers, and later sang as the Delta Southernaires, recording and performing on radio under the latter name in 1952-53. Cosimo Matassa convinced them to begin singing secular music, and in 1953 the five-piece signed with Imperial Records under the name The Spiders. They had a string of U.S. hits in the middle of the decade, including "I Didn't Want to Do It" (R&B #3, 1954), "21" (R&B #9, 1955), and "Witchcraft" (R&B #5, 1956). The last of these was written by Dave Bartholomew and was later covered by Elvis Presley.
Members Joe Maxon and Matthew West left the group in 1955, and were replaced by Issacher Gordon and Bill Moore. Chick Carbo signed with Atlantic Records as a solo artist late in 1956, and by the next year the group had splintered; their last single as a group was 1957's "That's My Desire", though the song "Tennessee Slim", recorded in the middle of the decade, was issued as a single in 1960.
Chuck Carbo later recorded for Rounder Records, releasing an album in 1993; Chick Carbo died in 1998, Chuck in 2008.
#2 The Spiders (ザ・スパイダース) were a Japanese rock & roll band formed in Tokyo in 1961. One of the leading groups of the Group Sounds genre, the band members were Hiroshi "Monsieur" Kamayatsu (rhythm guitar and backing singer), Jun Inoue (singer), Masaaki Sakai (tambourine and backing singer), Shochi Tanabe (drums), Takayuki Inoue (lead guitar and backing singer), Mitsuru Kato (bass guitar) and Katsuo Ohno (steel guitar and electronic organ). They had many hit singles, made feature films and were popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s in Japan. They toured Europe in 1966, and the United States, including Hawaii, in 1967. Most of the band members are still active in the music industry, with the exception of Monsieur, who died on March 1, 2017 and Takayuki Inoue, who died on May 2, 2018.
Their biggest selling record was "Yuhi Ga Naiteiru" which sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.
#3 The Spiders were a mid-60s band playing british invasion influenced garage rock that notably included musician Vincent Furnier (who later changed his name to Alice Cooper and reached international fame). Three of their songs were included on the first disc of the popular 1999 Alice Cooper box set The Life and Crimes of Alice Cooper. Releases vary as to if the group's name includes the article "the".
#4 The Spiders were a Mexican rock group that hailed from the city of Guadalajara and recorded in the 1970s. The band's sound assimilated the psychedelic sounds that were in vogue at the close of the 1960s. One of the band's early singles, "Back," ranked among the most-played tracks on Mexican radio in 1970. The band went on to release three albums in the 1970s, in addition an EP and various singles. 1993 saw the release of a live reunion album. In retrospect, the band has been described as one of the key bands in Avandaro-era Mexican rock.
