| Goldy McJohn (born John Raymond Goadsby on May 2, 1945) is a keyboard player best known as the original keyboardist for the group Steppenwolf. Originally a classically trained pianist, he was a pioneer in the early use of the electronic organ in rock music. He is an avid golfer. In 1964, he played with local band, Little John & The Friars before moving on later that year to become a member of the Mynah Birds, which also included Rick James, Bruce Palmer and (after McJohn left) Neil Young. In March 1965, he briefly joined The Diplomats before joining The Sparrows in September of that year. John Kay asked him if he could be known as "Goldy" while riding the bus to Willowdale. Goldy felt "Goldy Goadsby" wouldn't be right, so in honor of his mother, Dorothy (nee) McIntyre, Goldy added the "Mc" to his legal first name, creating his stage name. The band (with various changes) went on to become Steppenwolf and he remained with the group from 1967 to 1974 when he was fired by Kay. During Steppenwolf's hiatus in the early 1970s, he and Steppenwolf drummer Jerry Edmonton formed Manbeast with Rod Prince and Roy Cox of Bubble Puppy, during which time the band penned at least one song that would appear on Steppenwolf's 1974 release, Slow Flux, Goldy's last with the band. |
