About This Item
Goldie Zelkowitz is the real name of rock vocalist Genya Ravan, who many remember as the explosive lead singer of the rock band Ten Wheel Drive. She first sang in a band called The Escorts whose members included the now famous music mogul Richard Perry, and then went on to form Goldie & The Gingerbreads, the first all-girl rock band in history to be signed to a major tag. Goldie and The Gingerbreads toured with the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, the Kinks, and Manfred Mann. They reached the charts with their hit InchCan't You Hear My Heart BeatInch in 1965 and remained in England for two years. In 1969, Goldie changed her name to Genya Ravan and formed the successful rock band Ten Wheel Drive who enjoyed a large impressive cult following. Goldie left the band in 1971 and was signed by Clive Davis, resulting in her first solo album, simply titled Genya Ravan. Presented here is her classic 1974 album released under her real name, and the album has since become a collector's classic.
