Gould went on to form the mainstream band Runner on Island Records in the late 1970s after Rare Bird broke up. The band's debut album charted in the Billboard top 100. [3]

When Runner didn't work out due to differences with the label, Gould joined the Alvin Lee band in 1980, with whom he played bass on different occasions during two decades. On albums like Free Fall (1980) o Rx5 (1981) he plays an active role as vocalist and co-composer. [4]
