Goldie & the Gingerbreads was an all-female American rock band formed in New York in 1962. The quartet, primarily consisting of vocalist Genya "Goldie" Zelkowitz (later Genya Ravan), drummer Ginger Bianco, organist/keyboardist Margo Lewis and guitarist/vocalist Carol MacDonald, are considered one of the first all-female rock bands and were the first to be signed to a major record label. They were signed to Decca in 1963 and Atlantic in 1964. The band released several singles during the 1960s until their break-up in 1968, while their only album, the compilation Thinking About the Good Times: Complete Recordings 1964–1966, was released in 2021.
