Biografia:

A biografia da banda, que segue, em tradução livre do inglês, foi extraída do site Oldies, que, por sua vez, cita, como fonte primária do texto, a Encyclopedia Of Popular Music, de Colin Larkin (sob licença da editora Muze).

A Frijid Pink, formada por Kelly Green (vocais e harmônica), Gary Ray Thompson (guitarra), Thomas Beaudry (baixo), Larry Zelanka (teclados) e Rick Stevens (bateria), ganhou corpo no circuito do rock pesado em Detroit, EUA. Em 1970, surpreendeu ao emplacar um estrondoso hit com sua poderosa interpretação de "The House Of The Rising Sun", com base no arranjo altamente inventivo da Animals, ao qual, porém, adicionou uma marcante abordagem guitarreira, evocativa dos contemporâneos grupos MC5 e Stooges. O single alcançou o 7° lugar nas paradas americanas e o 4° posto no hit parade do Reino Unido, mas os singles posteriores do grupo, "Sing A Song For Freedom" e "Heartbreak Hotel" (ambos de 1971), ficaram confinados às paradas regionais estado-unidenses. Confirmou-se, assim, a suspeita de que a primeira música e não a banda tinha sido a responsável pela onda inicial de sucesso. Na época do derradeiro disco do grupo, lançado em 1975 pela Fantasy Records, Stevens era o único remanescente do lineup original.
