Об исполнителе:
Rock band formed in 1969 in San Francisco's Mission District. The roots of the Gold are traceable in the garage band Lost Cause, formed in 1967 by the guitarist Ed Scott. In the following two years the group changes his name, first Golden Gate then Gold, and the line-up settles down with the bassist Chico Moncada, the drummer Louie Goursau, the lead guitarist Joe Bajza and the vocalist Richard Coco. By the end of 1970 Robin Sinclair (former Salloom-Sinclair & The Mother Bear) takes the place of Richard Coco. Between 1969 and 1971 they play live several times becoming one of the hottest bands in San Francisco with their groovy and powerful blend of early Quicksilver/ Santana/ Big Brother & The Holding Company. But despite the support of Bill Graham and a remarkable airplay the group did'n never gained a major record contract (only a single in 1970). By 1972/73 new members came and went but eventually in September 1973 they disbanded. Since mid-90s the band has been rediscovered thanks to the release of some early 70s unreleased recordings
