Goldie was a male golden eagle who lived at London Zoo in the United Kingdom during the 1960s. He caused a nationwide sensation when he escaped for 12 days in March 1965.
Goldie flew away from his keepers on 28 February 1965 while his cage was being cleaned. He avoided being recaptured for nearly two weeks, despite a massive effort using equipment borrowed from the Royal Navy and British Civil Defence. Goldie spent most of the time in Regent's Park, which surrounds the zoo, but he also made excursions into the nearby neighbourhoods of Camden Town, Tottenham Court Road and Euston.
Goldie's escape enthralled the British public. The zoo received thousands of phone calls and letters, and large crowds gathered in Regent's Park to watch the bird's keepers trying to catch him. There were severe traffic jams in the area as drivers circled the park, watching Goldie in flight.
The saga was closely covered by the media. On a BBC television programme, the reporter John Timpson unsuccessfully tried to lure Goldie by playing an Ethiopian bird pipe. Goldie was also mentioned during a debate in the House of Commons, where Members of Parliament greeted his name with cheers.
While free, the predatory bird killed and ate a duck in the garden of the American ambassador to Britain. He also attacked two terriers in the park, but was driven off by their owner.
Goldie was finally caught on 11 March after the zoo's deputy head keeper tempted him to earth with a dead rabbit. He was in good health after his experience and was reunited with his mate, Regina. The zoo's attendance nearly doubled in the days after his return.
Goldie escaped once again on 15.12.1965, and was recaptured 19 December 1965 at 6:15a.m.
He was sent to The Falconry Centre, Newent, Glos. on 8 March 1985, and died on or about 23 March 1986.

Goldie is the second boat of the Cambridge University Boat Club, which competes in an annual rowing race against Isis (the second boat of the Oxford University Boat Club) on Boat Race Day each year. The boat is named in tribute to CUBC's legendary President John Goldie who also gave his name to the Goldie Boathouse. The first official race between the two crews was in 1965, which Isis won. Since the race started Goldie has won 29 races, and Isis 22 races.
"Goldie" is a song by American hip hop recording artist ASAP Rocky. It was released on April 27, 2012 as the lead single from his debut studio album Long. Live. ASAP (2013). The song was produced by Hit-Boy, who wanted to play off Rocky's laid-back style of rapping, accompanied by intentional vocal distortions, to produce a sound bordering along comatose. Beneath the beat, Hit-Boy added a reverberating chant meant to add a sinister atmosphere to the track.

Goldie were a British pop/ rock band. The band was formed by guitarist Dave Black in 1976 with members of his previous project Kestrel and following his departure from Spiders from Mars. They are best known for the hit single "Making Up Again", which reached Number 7 in the UK Singles Chart in July 1978.
The single, as with most of their material, was written by their guitarist Dave Black and lead vocalist Pete McDonald, and it was released on the Bronze label with catalogue reference BRO 50, the track spent eleven weeks in the chart. Despite releasing follow up singles their lack of subsequent chart success made Goldie a one-hit wonder.
The song is considered a fine example of late 1970s sophisticated pop music, Pete McDonald hinted at its complexity in an interview with the Newcastle Evening Chronicle in March 1978 when he said "It’s not typical of what we play on stage. It’s too complex."
The band performed and recorded together for four years, and appeared on the TV show Top of the Pops. The group disbanded in 1980. Following the split Black went on to form another band 747 who did not achieve chart success, but did have a successful career in their native North East during the early 1980s. Both Black and McDonald went on to have successful solo careers and Black continued to attract crowds at his many gigs throughout the North of England until his death in July 2015. Geoff Robson, their bass guitarist, appeared on series 25 of Never Mind the Buzzcocks in September 2011.
The North East music scene was brought together in July 2015 following the tragic death of lead guitarist and founding member Dave Black. His funeral in St George’s Church, Cullercoats, the village near Whitley Bay where Dave grew up, was packed with many of musician he grew up with on the North East music scene in the 1970s, including Brian Johnson lead singer in AD/DC, and Brendan Healy, who toured with Goldie, and for whom Dave later played guitar in The Brendan Healy Band.
