Son of My Father is a song popularised in 1972 by Chicory Tip. The song was originally written by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte and recorded under the moniker Giorgio in 1971. A copy of Giorgios version found its way to studio manager Roger Easterby who persuaded British band Chicory Tip to record it in English. The song produced by Easterby and Des Champ is notable as the first UK number one single to prominently feature a synthesizer, in this case a Moog synthesizer played by Chris Thomas. The song reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in February 1972. Moroders original version failed to chart in the UK, although it peaked at No. 34 on the US Cashbox pop charts and slightly lower on the Billboard Hot 100.
