Wow! What can I say! At 2:39, especially at 6:20, and at 8:30, the obvious main reason I watched this show! I was 15 back in '81, so yes, my teenage hormones ruled me during the prime Solid Gold years. As silly as this sounds, I learned alot about the female body and sexuality watching this show. Now, I'm in my mid-40's, but I still find these dancers very sexy and stimulating. They should bring back this show, or make a modern version of it, for today's youth (and myself - he he).
Robert W. Morgan was great announcer for all 6 seasons on Solid Gold. His passing late 1998 due to cancer. He will be sadly missed with the family & friends that knew him in early 80's & mid 90's
so Amazing to be a teenager back then... I feel sorry for the youth of today... so much crap music now... there was crap then too but now is really bad in mainstream music... Thank god for underground.
1/6/2011; I love the voice-over guy "Welcome to Soild Gold.." Hey I have an Idea Ted with the Golden voice can do to new show. google him I mean youtube him.
@TheBobbiemac That would be the late, great Robert W. Morgan. He did morning drive radio in Los Angeles for years, most notably on Boss Radio 93 KHJ. They didn't come any better, before or since. Sadly, he died of cancer in 1998. RIP.
@zachhoran thanx for the info.didnt no who he was but as a very hetero male i sure enjoyed his formula.the only show i drrewled over as much as solid gold was entertainment tonight.
Some of the chart positions listed for the songs were higher than they got in Billboard. Faithfully peaked at #12 and was top 10 on their countdown. If they had the musical act on to lip sync the song, a song peaking in even the Billboard 20s or 30s would be in their top 10 countdown.
Ok...I know you guys are nostalgic, and I feel ya, especially with the crap they play today "masked as music" but this show wasen't THAT good LOL!! :)
I LOVED SOLID GOLD! We used to watch it every Saturday in Barranquilla, Colombia. The music & dancers were great. My favorite dancer was the voluptuous Darcel ♥ She's the main performer dancing to the #6 song - Wanna be startin something by Michael Jackson. Great memories from Curramba la bella!
How fantastic, watching this growing up in Australia this show kept us in hysterics and was proof that not all that was American and glittered was actually Gold. Love it.
A great show. Wow, I was just 19 years old at the time. I had a crush on Pam Rossi and most of the others. The mighty Robert W. Morgan has been gone for a decade now. We miss you boss jock.
I wonder if there's a computer powerful enough to compute the total amount of ass the male Solid Gold dancers pulled each night? Hot diggety, what I wouldn't do to be in their dancin' shoes!
ALL of the comments you guys have said...I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!! Back then we FELT feminine!! The hair, makeup and style of clothes...they were the days!! Wish I could go back to the 80's and freeze them!! The music was MUSIC!!!! Journey with Steve Perry was and still is my favorite to this day!!!
@germanicelt It had alot more to do with "Alternative music" and the Grundge look. Nobody would watch a show with six dancer with unwashed hair wearing oversized flannel shirts and torn jeans.
