Frijid Pink : Frijid Pink 1970


Frijid Pink , formed from members of the Detroit Vibrations , spent their first two years touring throughout the Southeast Michigan/Detroit area . The group eventually signed with Parrot Records in 1969 .
Frijid Pink often shared billing then with the MC5 , The Stooges , The Amboy Dukes and others .

Detroit hard rockers Frijid Pink formed in 1967 , originally comprised of singer Kelly Green , guitarist Gary Ray Thompson , bassist Tom Harris , keyboardist Larry Zelanka and drummer Richard Stevers . After two years of relentless touring throughout the southeast Michigan area , the group substituting Harris for new bassist Thomas Beaudry signed with the Parrot label 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 Ten on the U.S. pop charts , becoming an even bigger hit overseas . 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.
