Lotti Golden Biography

Lotti Golden is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on November 27, 1950 in New York, United States. Lotti Golden, born November 27, 1949, is an American singer-songwriter and record producer. She is also a poet, artist, and poet. Golden is most well-known for her 1969 debut album Motor-Cycle, which was released on Atlantic Records.

Motor-Cycle was released in 1969, generating a lot of media attention for Golden. Look magazine described Golden’s poetry and songs as “rich in metaphor” and “stretchedly descriptive of people, places, and people,” and stated that “even in her musically precocious age, she [Golden] stands apart as a singer composer with phenomenal power and originality.” Lotti Golden, in addition to her appearances in national magazines, was also identified by Vogue as a fashion trendsetter, with several appearances in the magazine. Golden did not make any TV appearances but her influence on the current music scene is so great that she is mentioned in The Glass Teat’s cultural commentary on television. Golden still had concerns about her business career. She expressed them in her interview with Look magazine: “The easy part of my career is to just sit down and create. It’s the hard part, trying to get heard and getting promoted. Atlantic Records failed to promote Motor-Cycle for reasons that are still unclear. After a major corporate restructuring, the label was packed in 1969. Ahmet Ertegun focused on British music, while Wexler spent more time in Memphis, Muscle Shoals and Memphis (with Dusty Springfield being released on Atlantic that same year). Golden was without management and support in a highly competitive market. This was a fatal mistake. Motor-Cycle was not commercially marketed, but the album has enjoyed underground, cult status in the years that have followed its release. The record continues to gain in popularity online, thanks to “the unusual persistence of her [Golden] art, as well as the power of listeners’ preferences.”

Released on Atlantic Records in 1969, Motor-Cycle is a chronicle of Golden’s life informed by New York City’s counterculture. “It was a strange, way out scene for pretty, 19-year-old Golden,” who wrote her memoir in music and lyrics because, according to Golden, “a book is too flat,” The songs on Motor- Cycle deal with subjects like gender identity (“The Space Queens-Silky is Sad”), drug use (“Gonna Fay’s”), and urban alienation (“Who Are Your Friends”). So essential was Golden’s poetry and lyrics to the project, that a lyric sheet insert was included with the original release. The back cover of the LP contains the poem, “Night was a Better Blanket,” alluding to the LP’s backstory.

In the 1970s Lotti Golden wrote rock journalism, primarily covering her musician friends. In a Crawdaddy! feature story Golden provides unique perspective on the genius of Mike (Michael) Bloomfield chronicling her 1972 San Francisco visit with the legendary guitar player and in Rolling Stone, Golden explores the making of keyboardist (and co-founder with Bloomfied of Electric Flag) Barry Goldberg’s first solo LP. Golden’s articles have appeared in Creem, Circus and other publications.

Golden was born in Brooklyn, New York. She attended Canarsie High School and served as the school’s Poet-Laureate. Voted Most Likely To Succeed, Golden graduated in 1967 with honors, receiving the Creative Writing medal and the Lincoln Center Student Award. She also won the Scholastic Magazine Award For National Achievement in Art and the Scholastic Magazine Award. Golden received the National League of Pen Women Prize in Poetry and went on to Brooklyn College.

Tiny Mix Tapes’ music critic Path explains how Motor-Cycle is a musical that transports the listener back to the 1960s underground. “Golden receives help from an immaculately arranged Atlantic Records session band… with an impeccable, swinging rhythm group. The curtain rises at crucial moments and they have rows of saxes and trumpets…and it becomes clear that this isn’t the same song or dance…it’s almost like The Velvet Underground recorded this for Motown. Golden describes a “season of hell” that she manages to endure. It’s an amazing evocation of life… and one girl’s plunge in and out of it.”

Golden signed a contract as a Saturday Music staff writer during her junior year. Golden was on her way to her demo session when Bob Crewe, the owner of the company, walked in and heard Golden sing. Crewe took advantage of this opportunity and Golden revealed to Crewe that she was a staff writer for his publishing company and was working on material for her artist album. Crewe was intrigued and set up a meeting. Crewe said that Lotti brought her material to Crewe back in 1967. Crewe exclaimed, “Good God, who is your friend?” Crewe was convinced to do the project but asked Golden if he could hold off for one year so he could clear his schedule. In 1968, the pair recorded Golden’s opus, Motor-Cycle. It was an autobiographical album that Golden described as a “synthesis of funky singing with honest hip lyrics about urban teenage trauma.” After one hearing, Jerry Wexler, Ahmet Ertegun, and Ahmet Ertegun, Atlantic Records moguls bought the [demo] tapes. Wexler then modestly told his staff that Golden would be the greatest pop artist since Aretha Franklin.

Golden was part of a new wave of female singers who began to shake up the status quo in the late Sixties. Breaking from the confines of pop they defined themselves by their confessional lyrics, taking on new controversial subject matter. In July 1969, Newsweek ran a feature story, “The Girls: Letting Go”: “There has surfaced a new school of talented female troubadours, who not only sing, but write their own songs. What is common to them – to Joni Mitchell and Lotti Golden, to Laura Nyro, Melanie, and to Elyse Weinberg, are the personalized songs they write, like voyages of self-discovery, brimming with keen observation, and startling in the impact of their poetry”

Lotti Golden relocated to Los Angeles in 1985 establishing herself in LA’s burgeoning songwriting scene, signing a worldwide publishing deal with MCA Music (later renewing and extending her contract with David Renzer, Chairman/CEO of the Universal Music Publishing Group). In 1986, MCA Creative Director Carol Ware introduced Golden to writer/producer Tommy Faragher, “on a hunch that the two young writer/producers would click as a team.” The pair quickly gained a reputation for “richly produced, finely crafted urban dance music.” By 1987 Golden was working almost exclusively with Faragher, telling Cashbox: “We have a gold record [The Jets] our first year working together.” Golden returned to New York’s Upper West Side with Faragher, building a state- of-the-art recording studio, “decorated with archival black and white photos of John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, [and] Lester Young, souvenirs from Lotti’s jazz-fan parents.”
