Andrew Gold was Linda Ronstadt’s lead guitarist, keyboardist, and right-hand man in the 70s, on her tours and albums, up to 1977, when he went solo. He died of cancer in 2011, at only age 60

He got to number 11 in the UK charts with this song around late spring or early summer 1977. His biggest hit was Never Let Her Slip Away,which made number 5 nearly a year later. After that he had one further Top 20 hit with How Can This Be Love? in summer holiday time in 1978 and a minor one with Thank You For Being a Friend later that year.

As some people have commented here about Andrew Gold coming from a famous showbiz family, when he was a youngster, maybe 14, he came home and his parents were throwing a party and there were 4 guys there that everyone at the party were flocking to. He went by to say hello and introduced himself and he noticed they had heavy English accents. He described them as very nice. He unwittingly met The Fab Four.

A lot of people assume that the lyrics are autobiographical, because Andrew Gold was born in the summer of 1951, his sister Martha was born in the summer of 1953, and he formed a band called Bryndle in 1969 with Karla Bonoff, Kenny Edwards, and Wendy Waldman, but Andrew admitted in an interview that the song was not about his life. He said, "Maybe it was a mistake to do that, but I simply put in those details because it was convenient. I hadn't been a lonely boy at all - I'd had a very happy childhood."

Hi, you two! It's Andrew Erroch fae Paisley in Scotland here. Andrew Gold was a special talent from California and he died far too soon in 2011, aged 59. I think we know you two well enough to know what you like and, with that in mind, you should listen to his song 'Never Let Her Slip Away'. I'm amazed it wasn't a big hit in the US, but it was over here. It's probably my favourite song of his and it could become your favourite of his too. He also had a collaborations with the excellent UK band 10cc and he formed a duo called Wax with Graham Gouldman of 10cc. They had a brilliant song called 'Bridge To Your Heart' in 1987. I bought it at the time and I'm sure you'll love that too, with Andrew on main vocal... and perhaps also the bit when Graham Gouldman shouts "horn" and Andrew grabs the saxophone... Check it out!

Andy's mom, Marni Nixon, and my mom were close friends and aspiring singers in their teens. They signed up for a voice class together at Los Angeles Community College, where my dad was the accompanist on the piano. The two singers kind of adopted him and, according to Marni, they would bribe him (with bread - the kind you eat - which apparently he loved) to play for them outside of class, so they could practice the songs they were going to sing. That led, a few years later, to me being popped out into the world. Our families would get together on occasion, when I was a kid, and Andy and I would play together, while my sister would hang out with Andy's sister, Martha. It felt like every year, my family would sit around the TV during the Academy Awards and root for Andy's dad, composer Ernest Gold, to win the Oscar, which he eventually did for Exodus. All of which is just a lead up to saying that it makes me happy to see you giving Andrew Gold's music some richly deserved attention. "Lonely Boy" is my favorite of his songs and I still get a little thrill when I hear it start to play.

I was born in 1954. When I was a little boy I had something important to show to my mother. I don’t remember what it was but it was important to me. My mother was at the kitchen sink washing dishes. I went to her side and said, mama look at this. She didn’t look but she said, oh that’s nice. I said it again and again she said oh that’s nice without looking or even taking a quick glance. I don’t know how many times I tried to get her to at least look for 1 second. She never looked, I could have been holding a dead rat. Finally I walked away a sad, lonely boy. I remember I was in a good happy mood at first. I’m 69 now and I never forgot that. My mother was very good, hardworking, always cleaning washing clothes with a ringer washing machine and 2 tubs of rinse water. Then she would hang the clothes outside on clothes lines. From early in the morning until the evening she was working everyday. In the evening after supper and the cow was milked and the pigs were fed. She would sit crocheting a rag rug, or work on a 1000 piece puzzle, or we would all play cards, usually 500 rummy or rap rummy. Both my parents were good hardworking folks. That one time that she wouldn’t look was the only negative thing I can remember growing up. So I think I was the lucky one to have such good parents. Good yes, perfect no. One important thing that they always did was take us to church every Sunday morning.

Andrew died too young at 59 in his sleep of heart failure in 2011 while recovering from kidney cancer. It's so sad that his Mom, singer Marni Nixon, had to see her son die as she lived for an additional 5 years. But his Mom was a more famous singer than even he was. Not only was she the singing voice of leading actresses on the soundtracks of several musicals, including Deborah Kerr in "The King and I", Natalie Wood in "West Side Story", and Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady", she also sang alongside Julie Andrews in the convent in "The Sound of Music" where she also starred as Sister Sophia.

His parents didnt have a happy marriage and they loved to pit brother vs sister. My grandparents even sold my dad's bicycle when he was a child so they could buy a bicycle for his younger sister. My dad graduated high school in 1970. He purposely flunked his senior year in 1969 to avoid the Vietnam draft. Both of my grandparents have passed away and my dad has not seen or spoken to his sister in over 12 years. And he said he would be happy with never seeing or speaking to her ever again.

My favorite Linda Ronstadt cut is "You're No Good" her original studio version. It has practically a tapestry of guitars....a slide, a chorused up rhythm guitar, etc...and Andrew Gold played them all, dubbing one on top of the other. Maybe he played the keys too. He was Linda's onstage bandleader when she was at her 70s peak. The only other Andrew Gold tune I know is "Thank You For Being A Friend." Both these songs are classic 70s west coast singer/songwriter efforts.

Another one gone - Melanie will always live in my heart. Her music was part of the tapestry of me growing up in the seventies. "We were so close, there was no room..."

Huge hit when I was in high school. It was all over AM radio. I was listening to FM album rock then, but this was playing everywhere. I liked it at the time and appreciate it more now, especially musically. The arrangement is wonderful. Andrew played with some great artists in the 70s. It was a group of friends all joining in.
