1 - Clifford Price, better known as Goldie (born September, 1965 in Wolverhampton) is a British electronic music artist, disc jockey, and actor. As a musician he works mainly within the jungle and drum and bass genres, and has helped to promote these styles globally.
Music career
In 1992 he collaborated with Icelanders Thorhallur Skulason and Sigurbjorn Thorgrimsson on his first track as Ajax Project while he was doing some design and A&R work for 4 Heroโs Reinforced label.
His releases Killa Muffin b/w Krisp Biscuit and the Dark Rider EP (featuring the classic Menace) were put out under an early moniker Rufige Cru on Reinforced.
His track Terminator recorded under the name Metalheads in 1992 was a huge hit. In 1993 he released another classic 12โ on the Synthetic Hardcore Phonography label, Angel. 1994 saw him setting up his own record label, Metalheadz. The label was a huge success releasing some of the most important 12โs of that era and remains hugely successful and respected to this day.
His first globally released album, Timeless, followed in 1995. Timeless shot straight into the album charts at number seven, which was a first for a drum โnโ bass record. The album fused the breakbeats and basslines common in jungle with orchestral textures and soulful female vocals. The albumโs title track was a 21-minute symphonic piece. Inner City Life from that album sold over 15,000 copies on vinyl.
With his reputation firmly established, he released his second album in 1998, Saturnzreturn. The albumโs opening track, Mother is also an hour long orchestral drum and bass piece. The remainder of the album features appearances by David Bowie, Noel Gallagher of Oasis, and KRS-One.
In 2002, Price said that he had been working for three years on a film called Sine Tempus, described as a coming-of-age story of a young paintbrush artist, and in 2006 announced its soundtrack as his new album. The album was released via the metalheadz website in 2008. The film is still listed as โforthcomingโ.
Price is also known for his work as the leader of the Rufige Kru. This group has no fixed members; it has included some of most well-known drum and bass producers such as Technical Itch, Heist, Cujo, Agzilla Da Ice, Doc Scott and Rob Playford.
During August and September 2008 the BBC broadcast Maestro, a reality television show in which eight celebrities, including Price, learned to conduct a concert orchestra. Price was placed second, behind Sue Perkins.
On July 31 and August 6, 2009, โClassic Goldieโ was broadcast. The two-part television show was a result of his success in the Maestro show. In the program, Goldie learned to write a score for a large orchestra and choir. The resulting composition, commissioned by the BBC, was entitled Sine Tempore (Timeless). It was performed at two childrenโs Promenade concerts in the Royal Albert Hall on August 1 and August 2. The concert featured music connected with Charles Darwin as well as the creation and evolution of the world.
2. Goldie were a British 1970s pop/rock band. They are best known for the hit single "Making Up Again", which reached Number 7 in the UK Singles Chart in July 1978.[1] The single was released on the Bronze label with catalogue reference BRO 50, and the track spent 11 weeks in the chart.[1] Their lead vocalist was Peter McDonald.
3. In 1962 Genya Zelkowitz, a.k.a. Goldie 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) - first as the lead-singer of Richard Perry's band The Escorts- met Ginger Panabianco in a New York club. Ginger was on stage, performing as the drummer for one of Perry's friends. The discovery of a female drummer inspired in Genya Ravan the idea of an all-female rock band. The name of the would-be band Goldie & The Gingerbreads was decided upon rapidly: Goldie was the name by which Ravan's mother chose to call her after their arrival in the United States from post-war Poland, while gingerbread was a play on Ginger's name. In 1969 Genya Ravan went on to form Ten Wheel Drive.

Goldie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you die for me maybe? Truth
All these bizarre colors of my world
Truth
Tomorrow for you to know
That sorrow hides in sculpture
If a kiss could cry for you
Honest truth
Then set in stone for you
Love me true
I'll set alight in me, fire
Truth
In fire, truth
Would you lie to me lately? Truth
Would you die for me maybe? Truth
All these bizarre colors of my world
Oh, I'd die to love if I choose
Ever true
If I could change my ways
Maybe I would
But there's a blinding
Vision too
And lie to me
Kiss the sky for me
And maybe I should
Or should I cry for you?
One day
One way
If a kiss could cry for you
Honest truth
Then set in stone for you
Oh, love me true
I'll set alight in me, fire
Truth
But I'd die to know
Yeah, I'd die to know
Would you lie to me lately? Truth
Would you die for me maybe? Truth
All these bizarre colors of my world
Tomorrow for you to know
That sorrow hides in sculpture
Tomorrow for you to know
That sorrow hides in sculpture

Wow. Been a huge fan of bowie and goldie for years. Never knew they had a song together. And yes I've heard it before. Dang.
@april1969simnel
I knew I'd heard singing like this from someone else before, especially with the low notes, and I finally figured it out; it's Scott Walker. Bowie was a HUGE fan of Walker's.
@Reprodestruxion
April Simnel maybe those descents and the light phrasingโs. Scott got more atonal as time went
@april1969simnel
It is, but in his "Scott Walker" voice, which I hadn't realized before I wrote that comment. I should have written it more clearly.
@QuicksandSound
@DurexDurpaneu2 Sadly, they never did.

sublime
@jbbowman7
Agreed
@tchai91
Try Natalie Duncanโs live version of this. Itโs utterly sublime.
@murielsartre
Is it just me, or does it seem like this song is about Goldie's mother? What a thing that he trusted Bowie to suffuse it vocally with the emotions he felt about his mother.
