"Sister Golden Hair" is a song by the band America from their fifth album Hearts (1975), written by Gerry Beckley.
Beckley says "There was no actual Sister Golden Hair." The lyrics were largely inspired by the works of Jackson Browne. Beckley commented, "[Jackson Browne] has a knack, an ability to put words to music. I find Jackson can depress me a little bit, but only through his honesty; and it was that style of his which led to a song of mine, 'Sister Golden Hair'."

I dedicate this song to all our sisters with silver hair!!!
My hair is turning silver, and a lot of our family members are getting up there in age and wisdom.
Respect and love goes to our elderly and our loving family members who we tend to forget and take for granted!


Feedback is much appreciated.

Another dynamite cover Rene! America had great hits through the 70s and this one is certainly up there. Crazy good rhythm guitar here and a knock out vocal! It has the raw energy only a live solo recording can possess. GREAT WORK!

A cool cover of Sister Golden Hair, Rene. Great guitar rhythm and vocal. This was on the song list of a cover band I played with in the 70's. Nicely done.

My facial hair has gone totally to silver, and the hair on my head has begun the journey.  :D  I agree completely with your last statement.
There are only three kinds of drummers. Those who can count, and those who can't.
