Early life

Childhood

Lotti Golden was born in Manhattan to Sy (Seymour) Golden and Anita Golden (née Cohn), the elder of two daughters. Golden's parents, a strikingly handsome and fashionable pair, were avid jazz aficionados and foreign film buffs. Golden soaked up the sounds of Billie Holiday and John Coltrane from an early age[8] developing a lifelong passion for music and the arts.

Golden grew up in

Poet Laureate.[9] Voted Most Likely to Succeed,[10] Golden graduated with honors in 1967, winning the Creative Writing medal, the Lincoln Center Student Award for Academic Excellence, the Scholastic Magazine Award for National Achievement in Art, and a New York State Regents Scholarship.[10] Golden was awarded the National League of Pen Women Prize for poetry[11] and went on to attend Brooklyn College
.

1964–1968: Early music career

A birthday gift (a guitar) from Golden's parents at age eleven would chart her future course.[10] Golden studied classical guitar and voice, but needing more of a creative outlet, soon found her niche as a singer-songwriter, using her abilities as both wordsmith and vocalist.[8] To sing her compositions on demos Golden spent hours using a reel to reel tape recorder to perfect her vocal craft: "When women talk of their idols and influences…they tell stories about singing along with records, trying to emulate someone's voice…until they can begin to develop their own style."[7] Golden explains: "I would practice singing to Aretha, Ray Charles, and the Marvelettes, till I could sing all of their licks and runs… the girls' bathroom in high school was a great place to try it out."[7]

By the age of fourteen Golden was making forays into Manhattan, singing on demo sessions and peddling her songs to publishers,[7] landing her first cover by Patti LaBelle and the Blue Belles.[12][13] By the time Golden completed high school, she had the beginnings of a musical autobiography about her adventures in New York's East Village and Lower East Side where she was a resident member of the Henry Street Settlement Playhouse, honing her skills as an actress and playwright.[14] This would become the basis of her Atlantic Records debut LP, Motor-Cycle.[15]

Recording artist

1969: Debut LP: Motor-Cycle

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,"[15] who wrote her memoir in music and lyrics because, according to Golden, "a book is too flat."[14] 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").[15] 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.[16]

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.

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"[18][19]

Listed among the most influential albums of the era in

stream of consciousness confessional poetry, R&B infused vocals and a "sometimes satiric mélange of rock, jazz, blues and soul"[10] with lyrics that evoke "a Kerouac novel."[21]

On an album of "restlessly epic roadhouse suites"[22] Golden uses the story-based format, featuring a cast of archetypal characters while playing the part of "emcee" of her own "aberrant cabaret."[22] Golden's coming of age saga is likely the first rock concept album by a female recording artist.[23]

Music critic Path, of

Velvet Underground recorded for Motown."[22] Golden writes of a "season in hell "[15] she somehow manages to survive. "It's an extraordinary evocation of a life-style… and one girl's plunge into and out of it."[14]

1968–69: The Making of Motor-Cycle

Golden signed a publishing deal as a staff writer with Saturday Music during her senior year of high school. One afternoon as Golden was riding the elevator to her demo session, the company's owner,

Ahmet Ertegün[24] bought the [demo] tapes after one hearing, with Wexler "modestly telling his staff Golden would be the greatest single pop artist since Aretha Franklin."[10]

The release of Motor-Cycle in 1969 generated considerable media interest in Golden. Look magazine described Golden's songs and poetry as "rich in metaphor and starkly descriptive of people and places," stating: "Even in her musically precocious generation, she [Golden] stands out as a singer composer of phenomenal power and originality."[10] In addition to features in national publications, Lotti Golden was identified by Carrie Donovan of Vogue as a fashion trendsetter, making several appearances in the magazine.[25][26][27] Though Golden made no TV appearances, her impact on the contemporary music scene was such that she is referenced in the cultural commentary on television, The Glass Teat.[28] Still, Golden had concerns about the business side of her career, which she voiced in her Look magazine interview: "The easy part is to sit down and create. The hard part is trying to make yourself heard, the promotion."[10]

For reasons that remain unclear today, Atlantic Records suddenly dropped the ball, failing to promote Motor-Cycle. It is curious that none of the songs, (all over five minutes in length), were edited down to the standard 7” format for radio, and no single was released ahead of the LP, a standard Industry practice. Atlantic was going through a major corporate restructuring; its roster was packed in 1969, with Golden's mentors Ahmet Ertegun signing British rock bands, and Jerry Wexler dividing his time between Miami and Muscle Shoals (Dusty Springfield, released on Atlantic that year) moving on.[29]

In the years since its release, Motor-Cycle continues to gain popularity via the Internet, and social media "thanks to the unusual persistence of her [Golden's] art, and the power of listeners' preferences."[30] The LP remains a rich source of samples, with

MC Honky project, to the original track from the LP, “Get Together (With Yourself)” appearing on the 2022 Hulu TV miniseries and soundtrack, Pam & Tommy.[31]

1970s

Cash Box as "GRT's Lotti: Incredible."[34] Although elements of Golden's confessional approach remained (Billboard labeled one song "biographical")[35] for the most part, Golden's self-titled LP moved away from the innovative format of Motor-Cycle. Writer Mitchell Shannon characterizes the shift: "Second time around, her music was more conventional and approachable, but lacked that initial compelling insistence of the previous release."[30] Music critic, Robert Christgau, though not a fan of Golden (or Laura Nyro)[36] thought the GRT record could take off with the proper promotion: "He [Christgau] wrote: 'Golden's egregious overstatement registers as a strength.' If you know about Christgau, you'll take that as an honest compliment."[30] Shortly after Golden's album was released, financial problems caused the GRT label to go out of business.[37]

Music journalism

In the 1970s, Lotti Golden wrote rock journalism, primarily covering her musician friends. In a

Electric Flag) Barry Goldberg's first solo LP.[39] Golden's articles have appeared in Creem, Circus
and other publications.

In the early 1980s, Golden transitioned from artist to writer/producer. Golden's 1982 international dance hit "I Specialize in Love" co-written with musician Richard Scher, enabled her to move into record production: "The success gave [Golden] the freedom to demand production rights to her songs."[40] In an interview for the anthology, Signed, Sealed and Delivered-True Life Stories of Women in Pop, Golden stated that performing live was OK, but she preferred the recording studio, "that wonderful world of sound [where] anything was possible."[7]

As a writer/producer, Golden gained artistic control of her work, becoming a major progenitor of electro and early hip hop.[6] UK music historian Kevin Pearce describes Golden's transition from artist to producer: "I can still remember the delight at reading [David] Toop's "Rap Attack" and realizing that the Lotti Golden involved as part of electro pioneers Warp 9 in the early 1980s was the same Lotti Golden recording for Atlantic in 1969... with Bob Crewe producing the fantastic Motor-Cycle, one of the greatest and criminally rarest records ever".[41] Golden, with co-writer/producer Scher, wrote and recorded under the moniker

afrofuturist aspect of electro. Described as "the perfect instance of hip hop's contemporary ramifications,"[6] Golden and Scher worked "real emotion and intelligence into the world of experimental hip-hop and electro."[43] Their records are ranked among the most iconic of the electro hip hop era.[6][44][45][46][47]
Among the early production teams using the Roland TR-808 drum machine, Golden and Scher[48] created a brand of "electo hip hop records with gorgeous textures and multiple layers."[6] Newsweek's "Language Arts & Disciplines" highlighted Warp 9's experimental use of vocoders in Light Years Away.[49] The Guardian (May 2014) characterized Light Years Away as " a cornerstone of early 80's beatbox afrofuturism, inspired by Grandmaster's Flash's The Message, a brilliantly spare and sparse piece of electro hip-hop traversing inner and outer space."[43] DJ Greg Wilson, the first to embrace electro in the UK, calculates the genre's influence on art and culture as "huge," ushering in the computer age, hip hop, and generating "a whole new approach to popular music."[50]

Warp 9's hits brought Golden to the attention of Island Record's chief

Brenda K. Starr (I Want Your Love featuring guest rapper Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys), Nina Hagen and Jimmy Cliff
.

During the early 1980s Golden began a longstanding collaborative relationship with producer

Gil Scott Heron) who participated in what rock critic Dave Marsh describes as "the most diverse line up of popular musicians ever assembled for a single session."[56][57]

1985–89

Lotti Golden relocated to Los Angeles in 1985 establishing herself in LA's burgeoning songwriting scene, signing a worldwide publishing deal with MCA Music[8] (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."[48] The pair quickly gained a reputation for "richly produced, finely crafted urban dance music."[8] By 1987 Golden was working almost exclusively with Faragher,[8][58] telling Cashbox: "We have a gold record [The Jets] our first year working together."[51] 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."[8]

On Valentine's Day, 1988, Golden and Faragher were featured in the Business Section of the

EG Daily's sophomore effort Lace Around the Wound (1989), featuring the single "Some People." Although the album never got the promotional push it deserved,[61] several songs were later covered by Celine Dion[62] and appeared on the hit TV show California Dreams
.

The real breakthrough for Golden in her partnership with Faragher came in 1989, when producer Arthur Baker phoned, announcing that Clive Davis was looking for a hit single to launch Taylor Dayne's sophomore LP.[63] By the time Baker arrived, Golden had a working chord progression and title. The three completed the song in one session and Baker left with the demo in his pocket, vocals by Golden, resulting in the Top 5 Billboard Hot 100 hit, "With Every Beat of My Heart," the lead single from Dayne's Certified RIAA 3× Platinum Can't Fight Fate (Arista) album.[48]

1990s

Lotti Golden was honored with the ASCAP Pop Award for "With Every Beat of My Heart" in 1991. Golden's "If You Lean on Me," was recorded by Canadian artist

Beverly Hills 90210: The Soundtrack
.

Golden and Faragher made music history in 1993, producing the British R&B girl band

UK Singles Chart at No. 4.[70] The first UK girl group with six singles to reach the Top 15 on the UK charts from their debut LP,[71] Eternal went on to become one of Britain's most successful girl groups achieving both international and domestic success.[72]

In 1994, Golden co-wrote

B.B. King
.

Throughout the 1990s Golden and Faragher continued to write and produce international hits that appeared on the

UK Singles Chart and UK Albums Chart for artists including Dana Dawson[76] the group Montage and Arthur Baker.[77] In 1998, Golden & Faragher introduced UK R&B artist Hinda Hicks with the Top 25 hit, "If You Want Me"[78] propelling her debut album, Hinda (Island Records) to No. 20 on the UK Albums Chart, winning two 1999 Brit Awards
nominations.

Golden's partnership with Faragher continued for over a decade. An interview in the "Music Connection" provides insight into the collaborative methodology that made the pair a successful team: "I get involved in a lot of technical things, working out the arrangement and stuff like that," Faragher states, "[and] Lotti works on the complete feeling." Describing how songwriters can sometimes get too close to their work, becoming unwilling to modify or delete sections, Faragher pointed out, it was Golden, the iconoclast, who was willing to scrap work she felt wasn't up to par: "I might be attached to a certain section we worked so hard getting, and Lotti would say, 'Maybe we should throw this part out.' I go, 'Oh, no, you're kidding. I'm shocked-[but] she's right. She's absolutely right."' By the close of the decade, Golden's professional partnership with Faragher ended in divorce; they have one child.

In 2000, Golden's "I Should've Never Let You Go" co-written with Faragher, was the second hit single from the Australian girl group Bardot's No. 1 debut album, Bardot, certified 2× Platinum by ARIA, from the Popstars reality TV show. Golden continued working into the early 2000s,[79] but because her recording studio was lost in the divorce process, she could no longer artistically justify writing songs without creative control. The "Music Connection" interview, appearing over ten years before the partnership break-up, reveals just how important the production aspect of songwriting had become for Golden: "Golden & Faragher's pursuit of songwriting and production seems eons beyond the days of a cluttered Brill Building office with an upright piano. What environment does a songwriter need today? Golden: 'This one.' (She gestures towards the conglomeration of keyboards, computers and recording equipment)."

Literacy advocacy

In collaboration with the 92nd Street Y's Educational Outreach Program, Golden designed a songwriting workshop for the advancement of literacy, engaging New York City public school children in the art and craft of songwriting. The classroom based program, "Lyrics & Literacy/Words are Power" was created by Golden in accordance with the New York State Learning Standards for the Arts and implemented in East Harlem by Golden and the 92nd St. Y.[80]

2010–present

The Rolling Stone Years, a 2011 memoir by rock photographer Baron Wolman featured a previously unreleased portrait of Golden. In the book, Wolman recalls first hearing about Golden from Ahmet Ertegun and Jann Wenner; the trio routinely hit the New York clubs, scouting new talent, (see photo “The Making of Motor-Cycle, 1968-9”).[81] A review of Wolman's book in The Wire, references Golden's previously unpublished portrait: "You'll have your own personal favorites...but [Wolman's] portrait of Lotti Golden, an artist who is unknown to me, appears interesting, intriguing, and important because of Wolman's great photograph."

On

Isley Brothers song It's Your Thing and "Sock It to Me Baby.” The Atlantic release of Golden performing a cover in 1969 was certainly an unusual way to introduce an artist who writes all her own material, with no single release ahead of the LP. On the B-side, is a girl-group inspired song written by Golden, "Annabelle With Bells (Home Made Girl)," a "gem that sounds like the Ronettes for the hippie generation."[83]
The reissue contains a picture sleeve with new cover art, a previously unreleased photo of Golden, and remastered audio. "Annabelle With Bells (Home Made Girl)," was not included in the 1969 album, due to time constraints in pre-digital recording.
