Zebra

Zebra is a rock band that emerged in the United States in the 1970s. Formed in New Orleans in 1975, the band consisted of Randy Jackson (vocals, guitar), Felix Hanemann (bass, keyboards), and Guy Gelso (drums). They gained popularity for their melodic hard rock sound and powerful live performances. One of Zebra's defining characteristics was Randy Jackson's soaring vocals and impressive guitar work, which drew comparisons to rock legends like Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin.

In 1983, Zebra released their self-titled debut album, which became a commercial success, reaching platinum status in the United States. The album included the hit singles "Tell Me What You Want" and "Who's Behind the Door?," which received significant airplay on rock radio stations. Following the success of their debut album, Zebra went on to release several more albums throughout the 1980s and 1990s, including "No Tellin' Lies" (1984), "3.V" (1986), and "IV" (2003). While they never achieved the same level of commercial success as their debut, they maintained a dedicated fan base and continued to tour regularly. Zebra's music is often remembered for its catchy melodies, powerful vocals, and skilled musicianship. They are considered one of the standout bands of the 1980s rock scene and continue to be celebrated by fans of melodic hard rock.
