Gouldman was born in Broughton, Salford, England, into a Jewish family. He appeared in a number of Manchester bands from 1963, including the High Spots, the Crevattes, the Planets, and the Whirlwinds, a house band at his local Jewish Lads' Brigade.

Gouldman (vocals, guitar), Maurice Sperling (vocals/drums), Bernard Basso (bass), Malcolm Wagner (guitar, bongos), and Phil Cohen, a former 10c bandmate, secured a recording of the Buddy Holly song "Look at Me" which was released by future 10cc bandmate Lol Creme in June 1964.

In late 1964, Gouldman disbanded the Whirlwinds and established the Mockingbirds with Jacobson, Basso, and Kevin Godley, a former member of fellow Manchester band the Sabres. The Mockingbirds debuted "For Your Love" (later a major hit for the Yardbirds) and "That's How (It's Gonna Stay)" (February 1965, also available in the United States on ABC Paraphrasedoutput) and "I Can Feel We're Parting" (May 1965). (October 1965) and Decca for "You Stole My Love" (October 1965) and "How to Find a Lover" (October 1966).

The Mockingbirds also appeared on BBC Television's Top of the Pops, which was broadcast from Manchester. "For Your Love," the Yardbirds appeared on the show doing 'For Your Love,' a song I'd written, he recalled." Everyone booed them, but I was just part of an unidentified group. It was strange to hear them perform my song that night."

Gouldman also signed a management deal with Harvey Lisberg, and when working by day in a men's clothing store and playing by night with his semi-professional band, he wrote a number of hit songs, many of which were million-selling hits. "Look Through Any Window" for the Yardbirds, "Listen People," "No Milk Today," and "East West" for Herman's Hermits, "Look Through Any Window" for the Herman's Hermits, "Behind the Door" for Jeff Beck and "Going Home" was a 1967 Australian hit for Normie Rowe.

Gouldman performed singles with two other bands, High Society and the Manchester Mob, both of which featured singer Peter Cowap, in 1966–67.

He stepped in as a temporary replacement for bassist Bob Lang in the Mindbenders in March 1968, writing two of the band's final singles, "Schoolgirl" and "Uncle Joe, the Ice Cream Man," among other titles. The band disbanded eight months later. "They were declining and they were pretty much finished by the time I joined them," Gouldman said.

He worked for publishing house Robbins Music and producer Mickie Most in 1967, and then migrated to the Kennedy Street Enterprises show business administration offices in Manchester. "It was like an office," he said four years ago. I used to arrive every morning at ten o'clock and sit on my songs until I finished every evening at six o'clock. It was self-discipline and I needed it."

He appeared on three singles as a solo artist for three years before releasing his debut solo album, The Graham Gouldman Thing.
