Frijid Pink - House Of The Rising Sun …1970
Frijid Pink is a Detroit area blues rock band formed in 1967, best known for their version of "House of the Rising Sun". 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. … 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" (#70 Canada) and "Drivin' Blues" (both released in 1969) failed to attract much attention, but their third effort, a distorted guitar-driven rendition of "House of the Rising Sun," peaked at #7 in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100 in the winter 1970 and #3 in Canada. Frijid Pink often shared billing with the likes of the MC5, The Stooges, The Amboy Dukes, and others…. In 2013, Frijid Pink was inducted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Hall of Fame.
