Joy of Cooking was an American music ensemble formed in 1967 in Berkeley, California.[1] Associated with the hippie culture, the band's music combined rock & roll with folk, blues, and jazz.[1] The band released three studio albums on Capitol Records in the early 1970s as well as a minor hit single in 1971, "Brownsville". Led by guitarist Terry Garthwaite and pianist Toni Brown, who both shared lead vocals, Joy of Cooking was a rare example of a rock band fronted by women.[2]
