Zebra

Zebra, an American hard rock band, was founded in 1975 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The group consisted of Randy Jackson on guitars and lead vocals, Felix Hanemann on bass, and Guy Gelso on drums. Initially known as Maelstrom, the trio started as a cover band playing technically proficient rock groups such as Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. They adopted the name Zebra in 1975 after seeing a magazine cover featuring a woman riding a zebra. The band's breakthrough came with their eponymous debut album Zebra, released on Atlantic Records in 1983, which featured the singles "Tell Me What You Want" and "Who's Behind The Door?". Zebra continued to tour throughout the 1980s but took a temporary break in the early 1990s after being dropped by Atlantic Records. Randy Jackson formed his solo band Randy Jackson's China Rain, releasing its only album in 1991. Zebra resumed playing in 1994 and released Zebra IV in 2003, their first album of all-new material since 1986. The band was inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame on July 10, 2010, and the Long Island Music Hall of Fame on October 8, 2012.
