Five Man Electrical Band

The band would inspire the group Tesla to record a live album in the 1980s, Five Man Acoustical Jam, which included a remake of "Signs". He was also part of the 80s pop group Wax. Gold also toured as a musician and acted as producer for many well-known stars, particularly Linda Ronstadt and Art Garfunkel. Since 1986, they have continued to reunite for several concerts a year. Born to Marni Nixon and Ernest Gold on August 2, 1951, in Burbank, California, he is best known for his 1970s hits "Lonely Boy" and "Thank You For Being A Friend." The former can be heard in the soundtrack to the 1997 Paul Thomas Anderson film Boogie Nights, and the latter became the theme for the 1980s NBC sitcom The Golden Girls. The group disbanded in 1972 to pursue solo careers. Andrew Gold is an American singer and songwriter. Some members previously recorded and toured under the name The Staccatos.

The group (which may have been a precursor to the sound of the Electric Light Orchestra) consisted of Les Emmerson, Brian Rading, Ted Gerow, Mike Belanger and Rick Belanger. The Five Man Electrical Band was a rock group from Canada, best known for their 1972 hit "Signs.". Absolutely Right, 1995 compilation.
