Goldie & the Gingerbreads was an American female rock band from 1962 to 1967. They were the first all-female rock band signed to a major record label.
Whereas most female bands were ignored by the big record labels and rarely attracted live audiences, the quartet of Ginger Bianco, Margo Lewis, Carol MacDonald and Goldie Zelkowitz were among the first to break into a domain dominated by men. They were signed to Decca in 1963 and to Atlantic in 1964
In 1962, Genya Zelkowitz (who would eventually change her last name to Genya Ravan -as she became better known as the lead singer of the band Ten Wheel Drive beginning in 1969) - the then lead-singer of Richard Perry's band The Escorts
