Frijid Pink - God Gave Me You (♫)

Back


Frijid Pink was a Detroit hard rock band formed in 1967, best known for their version of "House of the Rising Sun." The band were originally composed of drummer Richard Stevers, guitarist Gary Ray Thompson, bassist Tom Harris, keyboardist Larry Zelanka and lead singer Kelly Green. They spent their first two years touring relentlessly throughout the Southeast Michigan area, the group signed with Parrot Records in 1969; although their first two singles, "Tell Me Why" and "Drivin' Blues," failed to attract much attention, their third effort for the company - a distorted, guitar-heavy interpretation of "The House of the Rising Sun" - reached the Top Twenty on the U.S. Billboard charts and sold over a million copies. It became even a bigger hit overseas. Although the song was in the public domain, the band never received a penny for the huge hit due to some shady lawyers for the record company. Frijid Pink's self-titled debut LP followed in 1970, as did the follow-up Defrosted; subsequent singles including "Sing a Song for Freedom" and "Heartbreak Hotel", however, failed to match earlier successes, and after 1972's Earth Omen the group did not re-enter the studio until recording 1975's All Pink Inside, disbanding soon after. They were so popular in Detroit at the time that the fledgling Led Zeppelin (who at the time was just getting started from the remnants of the New Yardbirds) opened up for them. LIKE WHAT U HEARD?
