Gold began writing songs at the age of 13. Abroad in England for school, the 16-year-old Gold scored his first recording contract on the strength of a selection of demos he submitted to Polydor Records’ London office.

By the early 1970s, Gold was working full-time as a musician, songwriter and record producer. He was a member of the Los Angeles band Bryndle, alongside Kenny Edwards, Wendy Waldman, and Karla Bonoff, releasing the single “Woke Up This Morning” in 1970. He played a major role as multi-instrumentalist and arranger for Linda Ronstadt’s breakthrough album, 1974’s Heart Like a Wheel, and her next two albums. After Ronstadt’s Hasten Down the Wind Gold began a career as a solo artist. Among other accomplishments, he played the majority of instruments on “You’re No Good,” Ronstadt’s only No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, and the same on “When Will I Be Loved,” “Heat Wave” and many other classic hits. He was in her band from 1973 until 1977, and then sporadically throughout the 1980s and 1990s, appearing at some of her concert appearances.
