FRIJID PINK
Detroit hard rockers Frijid Pink formed in 1967, originally comprised of singer
Thomas Beaudry (stage name 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 with Beaudry on bass,
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
"DEFROSTED"

Frijid Pink's second album was so-so hard rock on the verge of becoming heavy metal.
Most of the songs were built on rote blues-rock riffs, with the macho bluster paced
by Kelly Green's husky voice, which generally tried too hard and was too full of itself.
The compositions addressed the themes of thrusting romance ("Black Lace"),
quasi-countercultural utopianism ("Sing a Song for Freedom," which sounded influenced
by "American Woman"-era Guess Who), and good-time boogie ("Sloony,"
with speedy guitar work that seemed to claim Alvin Lee as an influence)...(AllMusic)price rating
