Torrent description

Frijid Pink is a Detroit area hard rock/blues band formed in 1967, best known for their version

of "House of the Rising Sun", released in 1969.



The initial line-up of the band included drummer Richard Stevers, guitarist Gary Ray Thompson,

bassist Tom Harris, lead singer Tom Beaudry (aka Kelly Green), and later added Larry Zelanka as

off-staff keyboardist.



Career

Frijid Pink was formed from members of the Detroit Vibrations. Stevers and Harris were joined

by Thompson, who convinced Vibrations' manager Clyde Stevers (Richard's father) he was a better

candidate for a guitarist, and Beaudry, who later took the stage name Kelly Green. They spent

their first two years touring throughout the Southeast Michigan/Detroit area and eventually

signed with Parrot Records. Their first two singles, "Tell Me Why" and "Drivin' Blues"

(both released in 1969) failed to attract much attention, but their third 1969 effort, a

distorted guitar-driven rendering of "House of the Rising Sun", reached the Top Ten on the

U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in winter 1970. This disc sold over one million copies, thereby receiving

a gold disc.[1] The song was literally a "filler", using up time at the end of a recording session.

A big hit in the U.S. (raised up at #7 in February 1970), it became an even bigger hit in Europe.

The band was so popular in their native Detroit area that a fledgling Led Zeppelin (who were just

then getting started from the remnants of The Yardbirds) opened for them at Detroit's Grande

Ballroom. Frijid Pink often shared billing with the likes of the MC5, The Stooges, The Amboy

Dukes and others.



Frijid Pink's self-titled debut LP followed in 1970, as did their second release Defrosted.

Most of the albums' writing was provided by duo of Beaudry and Thompson. Subsequent singles

including "Sing A Song For Freedom" and a cover of "Heartbreak Hotel" failed to match earlier

successes, and after the departure of Beaudry and Thompson, a new lineup featuring Jon Wearing

on vocals, Craig Webb on guitar, Tom Harris on bass and Larry Zelanka on keyboards recorded 1972's

Earth Omen. The group would have another lineup in place before re-entering the studio to record

1975's All Pink Inside with Jo Baker on vocals and Larry Popolizio playing the bass.



In 1981 Stevers and Harris joined forces with Arlen Viecelli, lead singer/guitarist of Salem

Witchcraft and Ray Gunn, guitarist of Virgin Dawn to record an album at Sound Suite studio in

Detroit. The music was written by Viecelli and Gunn and was set to be released in the summer

of 1982. However, during negotiations with numerous record companies by the group's manager,

the group disbanded and the material was never released.



Another version of the band (featuring no original or past members) formed in 2001. They recorded

one album, Inner Heat, which was set for release in 2002, but was pulled by the record label,

Dynasty Records. In 2005 another lineup formed featuring most of the original members; drummer

Stevers had succeeded in getting bassist Tom Harris and vocalist Kelly Green together with

guitarist Steve Dansby (from a late 1970's line-up of Cactus) and keyboardist Larin Michaels.

In late 2006, after a failed attempt to once again reunite the original members, Stevers began

auditioning other musicians for the reformation of Frijid Pink. This new lineup has recorded

an album and continues to play club dates and public functions in the southeast Michigan area.
