BIOGRAPHY
by Rovi
Formed in Berkeley, California, USA in 1967 as Gourmet’s Delight, this individual quintet originally consisted of Terry Garthwaite (b. 11 July 1938, Berkeley, California, USA; guitar/vocals), brother David Garthwaite (bass), Toni Brown (b. 16 November 1938, Madison, Wisconsin, USA; keyboards/guitar/vocals), Ron Wilson (b. 5 February 1933, San Diego, California, USA; percussion) and Fritz Kasten (b. Des Moines, Iowa, USA; drums). David Garthwaite was replaced by Jeff Neighbour (b. 19 March 1942, Grand Coulee, Washington, USA), prior to recording. The group’s self-titled debut album was released late in 1970 and yielded a minor hit single in ‘Brownsville’. Their easy style, which drew its inspiration from folk, blues and jazz, offered a refreshing spontaneity, although subsequent releases lacked the verve of this first collection. Joy Of Cooking’s direction was determined by Brown and Garthwaite and the group was thus a focal point for the Bay Area’s women’s movement. Toni and Terry carried this support when the group broke up in 1973. They recorded Cross Country together before embarking on separate solo careers, but despite excellent releases, were unable to make a significant breakthrough. The two singers put together a new group, known simply as the Joy, in 1977, which released one widely acclaimed album, but resumed their independent work when this new venture failed to generate sufficient commercial interest.
