Gold is a French music band from Toulouse, which enjoyed considerable success in the Francophone world in the 1980s.
Gold was originally composed of five musicians : Lucien Crémadès (guitar, vocals), Alain Llorca (bass, vocals), Bernard Mazauric (keyboards), Etienne Salvador (drums) and lead singer/guitarist Emile Wandelmer.[1]
The group first rose to prominence with the 1985 release of "Plus près des étoiles", and continued to impact on the French pop charts with songs including "Capitaine abandonné" (n°1 in 1986),[2] "Ville de lumière" and "Laissez-nous chanter". Wandelmer left the group in 1990, going on to join Images eight years later,[3] although the remaining members of Gold continued recording.
Gold is one of the only French groups to have made France's SNEP Top 10 five consecutive times between 1985 and 1987.[4]
