Belinda Carlisle Freda Payne "Band of Gold" on Solid Gold

[KingsDee]

belinda carlisle had a song call( toy soldiers ) right?? Maybe nobody still got one ?

Thanks for sharing

[jaredbradford]

@KingsDee No, that was Martika that sang Toy Soldiers.

[SpotterOz]

Classic song. Thanks for sharing

[tryby12]

i remember this show back in the 80s with marilyn mccoo was the host

[kanayd]

I ♥ Belinda.

[leafyutube]

Is it just me, or was Belinda 100 times more gorgeous than Madonna?

[1559godhead]

I´d say Freda won hands down in all departments.

[HollywoodHillsCookie]

How did 80's business wear und up next to evening wear?

[nutleyguitar1968]

A Holland–Dozier–Holland hit.

[SpazChat]

@nutleyguitar1968 , No wonder it was huge hit, considering who wrote it.

[ph1lstar]

Marilyn McCoo, damn eye candy in her day,......but Freda and Belinda are like chalk and cheese together, so out of syn....painful to watch

[ruddgirl]

@ph1lstar i think it's partky cuz they are lip synching and it's gone awry. lol

[osufwiffo]

@ruddgirl actually, since it appears the voices of the Intro is off, and the clapping, I'm fairly certain the video encoding went awry.

[steverdms]

I still remember watching this the night it aired!! It was great!!

[joevs21001]

I had the hots for Belinda in the 80's....damn she looked GOOOOOOD!

[SharkSport]

I wish they would have switched outfits

[tjrxk7]

@SharkSport I think Freda had the more sexy outfit and Belinda the more conservative cause Freda was a lot older and the cloths made her look younger and vice-versa with Belinda giving her an older appearance. But they are both Super-Fine ANYWAY!!!

[hillbuzzTV]

Does anyone know if the host introducing this clip is Marilyn McCoo? I'm pretty sure it's her, but can anyone confirm that?

[onealchris]

@hillbuzzTV Yep, that's her.

[desert3347]

@hillbuzzTV Marilyn McCoo! A great singer in her own right.

[SpazChat]

@hillbuzzTV , Yes , it's definitely Marilyn McCoo

[mvonwahlde]

@hillbuzzTV no doubt about it

[47yesican]

freda, marry me, you're better now, nice and buttery hot!

[abbashalom62]

@TheZapzupNZ Couldn't agree more! Belinda rocks in her oufit and Freda is gorgeous. All Ladygagme does is bringing eurotrash music from the 80's to the US. (don't worry I'm from Europe so I know)

[2lovs4music]

Ms. Payne so 80's Hot and HOT now!!

Belinda Carlisle has that little "quiver" in her voice

that makes her soooo appealing!

[GatewayGhettoProd]

Freda's gorgeous as always, but I think she looks a little "too 80's" here...

[Ilvcamusic]

Freda Payne, in her 60's burns up the stage on the PBS special with Mary Wilson and other Divas!! A must see.

[desert3347]

Freda is "ammmmmmaaaazzzzzzzzing" then and NOW!!

[bingbong35]

everyone lipsynched on this show. Some performances were sung live.

[4r7f3e]

Belinda is SO pretty and SO talented!

[jts001]

thanks for posting this - I remember recording this on my betamax!

[1970sarteaga]

WoW! Look @ Freda! Nice collaboration on Freda's song!

[4rockykid23]

so catchy.(:

[SCOTSMUSICFAN]

really love BELINDA , really under-rated artist

[TheCancio68]

amazing! i was so in love with her!

[myleso4]

oh my gosh belinda,what a top tune! you are the ultimate...x

[sl1200guy]

Boy do I love me some Belinda...and Ms. Payne!!! All I can say is eat your heart out Alexis Carrington...pure NRGetic bliss...ps. The host is Ms. Marilyn McCoo and she know how to work it as well

[laurenmargaux]

Look, the host can't even introduce them without groovin!

[Koach127]

80's clothes were the best! :)

[dansommo001]

@Koach127 

[updog88]

Back in the mid-80s, this pairing and their stylings was ahead of it's time. First, for a white girl like Belinda to have the sass to dance next to a diva like Freda is hot, and the clothes were both both stylish, both in-style, and only now look out of fashion. Back then, for whatever it means, this was coolness incarnate.

[auctionguyinmo]

Man, I loved Belinda with a passion. Then she got lippy and activist-y

[ikenbrodt]

Huh? I know she's spoken out against drugs, eating disorders, and animal cruelty over the years, and more recently supported her gay son, but is that all?

[superstition222]

Belinda is asking for help in the fight for equality. This is the video: f6YBy-l0an8

[chalklava]

Wow, those two sure have opposite clothing styles here!

[bennjr]

I agree, but Belinda looks better. At least by today's terms, what she is wearing doens't look as dated as Fredas.

[chalklava]

Yeah, Belinda's is definitely a more classic look. Freda's sure rocking that dress though! lol

[ArgoteMasterChief]

Is there any chance that we can clone Belinda, she look amazing.

[holtridge]

I wish they could clone Belinda. I have the issue of Playboy that she is in and she is smokin hot!

[triggerpepsi]

i still think bonnie tylers version is better,

[TheModken]

Listen to Freda Payne doing it solo as it should be, brilliant, mind you for a poor mans version, bonnie aint too bad.

[leafyutube]

I miss the 80s.

[vee1322]

Ms Payne is hot!

[bennjr]

I love Belinda's soft dance moves, she's so slick!

[catbeast2007]

Belinda Carlisle still looks good at 50.

[bennjr]

I think 'hot' would be a more appropriate term to use, don't you think so?

[er20092009]

OMG they butchered this song!!!

The original is SO much better!!!

[sonnyjimsonnjim]

shoulderpads!!!!

[sdm84]

OH MY! Freda's hot!

[Aztecwarlord541]

you gotta love freda's hair.

[timmhg]

Freda looks so fine!

[triggerpepsi]

good , but i like the bonnie tyler vesion

[Katsleggs]

LMAO!!! I mean, ROTFL!!!! Thanks, I needed a laugh!!! heh, heh, heh... lol... You have me crackin' up! lol... The BT version is the ONLY version I've heard on YT today that's worse than this one!!! LOLOLOL!!!! Thanks again.... you're soooo funny! LOL!!!

(pregnant pause)

OH! You weren't really joking, were you???? OOPS! Sorry dude! (slinking away now....)

[HappyLamar84]

Belinda is hot, I love the 80s

[54spiritedwill54]

God I love you Belinda!

[wytchwhisper]

lol omg i used to dance to solid gold every show lol holy crap what a great show! lol

[AmyCarlisle12345]

Belinda, your amazing!!!!

[JessRuby]

Oh my, Belinda dances like my mother haha

It's no wonder they both grew up in the same era xP

So excited to see her on Dancing With the Stars, too! I hope she does well.

[knotslandingFan]

Belinda will be on dancing with the stars this year..

[COLLIEUKUK]

Typical eighties bleep-up of an early seventies classic. Payne and Carlyle have both been much better. The orchestration is diabolical.

[PirateSkip4]

she done a good version of this song ,,, dont like her but good voice.

[StumptownBoy]

Belinda is such a cutie. Looks equally good as a blonde and a redhead.

[Puertoricanlips]

Ball room and latin dancing. I think she will do just fine if she puts her mind to it. Give her a chance and she just might shock you. I mean she won't be doing break dancing or club dancing. I will certianly be watching and voting like crazy for her.

[Puertoricanlips]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Belinda is gonna be on the new season of

DANCING WITH THE STARS ON ABC in MARCH

Everyone watch her mop the floor with the rest of the cast

[jaredbradford]

I love Belinda Carlisle as much as the next guy, but I don't think dancing is her strongest area. I smell disaster.

[babygoat65]

this song is the bomb,u go girls....

[chcknsht]

IMAO, two very talented singers, but not collectively. One girl has decent dancing moves, but the other looks like she's suffering from a bad case of the private itchies.

[raponte1955]

Nice...Freda is hot and Belinda was the cutest thing on earth at the time (isn't her outfit a bit oversized?)

[redwalls76]

You Gotta give it Ms Freda Payne she looked good and this around 1986 and the song was fir recored by her in 1970. WOW!

[BruDiggity]

Seems like Freda was gracious enough to handle the harmony. Good duet!

[darkcarnivaldesign]

Freda looks amazing here.

[licklolly35]

i watched solid gold all he time, i love thi s duet by two great artists . eleven s tars .

good tune.

[cbwoods]

There's a rock and roll cover version of this song on my channel, dig it!

[miastudent]

My new favorite song!

Belinda becomes one with the music!

[hideaway33]

God I love Belinda too. but she's a year late though.

[hideaway33]

god where was I?

[bradly2007]

Freda needed no help doing her classic...red hot diva looks and sounds incredibly great and Belinda is cute!

[MrKnopf]

If you check out the newer live-version from the 2000s, you have to admit that Freda Payne looks way better in the new one than during the 80s. :-)

[grantrocco]

Love Freda,Belinda, and the song. Don't know if all three work together though. They are both so beautiful! I could not stop watching, kinda like a train wreck...LOL

[medeamedusa]

this is so bitchin!!!!!!!!!

[blackrose2422]

omg i love the wardrobe!

[updog88]

Belinda's make up and frosted pink lips so take me back to those pretty girls of the 1980s. They thought they were so hot! And they were :-D

[sisterblister77]

God I love you Belinda! Listen for this song on the Sopranos, season five ep 1 when the boys are in Atlantic City.

[LiVMagazine]

The problem is not the lip sinc...the audio track is running slightly faster/ahead of the video portion. Notice the clapping, hand waiving etc does not match the beat either.

[drexall8]

weird lip sincing. Why does belinda come out singing first Freda is a legend awesome. Just my 2 nonsense

[chazzr50]

Idon't know...kind of awkward.

[jackspade99]

man, this is when women were women. i miss the past.

[Rudie29]

AGREED!!!!

[katmusic2006]

i actually watched this particular performance when i was a kid . . . and did not know what all the fuss was about until i listened to freda payne's original.

[ddenuci]

Hard to believe there are 48 comments, and no one commented on the gorgeous Marilyn McCoo.

[livingstereo82]

I LOVE YOU BELINDA!!!!!

[johnclones]

I like the orignal one better.

[chillichomper]

BC is so classy. Always modest but incredibly sexy

[cbrf3redline]

Oh those outfits...if it wasn't bad enough that they don't even match somewhat. They look like a dominatrix and a nun! Awful..

LOL

[desperategirl932]

@cbrf3redline haha...seriously, who was in charge of the wardrobe? one looks like a single-mom, who is also working 8 to 5 in an office, and the other looks like a transvestite on a Saturday night Vegas showroom.

[arcticmessenger]

one word AWESOME

[foxx1525]

This is really hot.

[GypsyJustAFriend]

yoy i reamber watching this whan i was 11 years old in 1986 i love solid gold best show

[mzzynoa]

Me too....this is cool lol

[katmusic2006]

i was 12!!! :) the same yr i started listening to oldies; later i discovered freda payne's original band of gold.

[UltraPOPDJ]

I seriuosly thought that was going to be another Top 40 hit for Belinda, but I found out years later this was exclusively a club record.

[Odawg96]

I remember when this originally aired. Now that I'm watching this after 21 years, it trips me out that Belinda is dressed like an older woman, while Freda is dressed like one of the Go-Gos, VERY 80s. Yeah, but this is Freda's song, no doubt.

[SCOTTBACHMAN]

Wow! At 2:56 Freda starts smokin' ass!

[Deridex]

heh....belinda is always hiding her waist.... with those cushins or that nut green 1986 dress...

[951tony]

Belinda looks like she's going to work at an office.

[updog88]

LOL!!!! HAHAHA!!!! I love this comment. Had me laughing for days. Yes, it's true now it looks like office attire....then it was very 80s and hot.

[petie71]

I remember seeing this when it first was televised! Lol. To this I day I remember it. Belinda's outfit to this day gives me the shivers. What was she thinking??? After the sexy, sultry video for 'I Feel the Magic' - this??? Lol. She looks like a politician's wife. x

[updog88]

but when this look was new in thw 1980s, it did have some sex appeal. Now it's the common dress for working women....lol!

[regscott]

one of my all time favs

[AER1985]

why does belinda look like a PTA mom in this video?  who told her she looked cute?

[bradly2007]

Freda is a red hot Diva & Belinda looks cute~!

[fletch00001]

At least in the 1980's there was plenty of styles in music and fashion, same as 1970's.But today get a life!All the kids are boring, no fashion,music etc. everything is so average. That's what has become of the late 1990's and up to now ..'The average generation!'

[Xycopixie]

LOL. I think that it's just zeitgiest. I love the trends from the 90's till now. But I'll probably feel the same as you when I get older.

[fletch00001]

Hi like your explanation, maybe you've got a point, but in the 1980's i just think everyday fashions amongst kids were more diverse. Rock, punk, new wave, romantics, mods,skins,etc. now they are just very watered down versions of it.Nice phrase you used anyway for a clever 20 year old, bye, colin.

[caitinlv]

I love both ladies so much, but in this clip Freda is dressed like a cocktail waitress and Belinda looks like a flight attendant.

[jimmypi]

Anyone else think that Belinda looks like Blair from the Facts of Life in this one? Not how Blair looked through most of the show, but like the last season.

[ahegele]

they're lipsynching.

[linksys5791]

That song belongs only to Freda, She was the total package!!!

[CrissyJB]

Belinda is great. Those dresses are so funny, those clothing is only wear in Halloween

[lassley]

i love freda payne. she can move, and she can certainly dress for the stage. belinda, on the other hand, no offense to my white race, but she looks like a republican housewife from texas having the very first opportunity to get on stage without even a clue what to wear or how to dance. belinda, i loved you better during the go-gos days.

[ynbeme65]

Are you mad I reckon most women look hot dancing & Belinda is no exception.

[MoveAmericaForward]

I like the Republican housewife look on Belinda! She looks classy - classier than some of the getups from the earlier Go-Go's gigs during the time they were more of a punk band and Belinda wore trash bags!

[MissLeigh78]

Belinda Carlisle = Best pop singer of all time

[Mmmmoaa]

I'm with you on this one Jackawful. And hey out there, you can't compare apples and oranges...ie...style and fashion of the 80's to now. Hell I was wolf whistled in the 80's, my kids fall about laughing at pics of then. ...lmao.

[DJKidbilly]

Wow. Thats some BAD lip synching! I used to have the 12" on gold vinyl. Belinda should have never covered this song. Freda can sing her under the table. Yeah and nice outfit Belinda. :-) It's all good, I still love her.

[gawkin]

lol....Belinda could get away with that hair style today while Freda would stand out like a sore thumb with her hair.....stay away from a lighted candle Freda.

[aspta3]

hahaha I think the hairstyle might not get as much looks as the dress. Hahhahahaha

[Doggchop]

Now I see why I only date black women 20 years later.

OMG...look at the white girl bust a move...lol..

[Medic83301]

It should have been recorded as a hit the second time around with the both of them for the late 80's early 90's generation . Would have been awsome !

[DA90027]

Yes it would have been better but remember, she already sang it in 1970.  This was just an attempt to update it and it was nice of Freda to help Belinda out with this. At least by Belinda remaking it Freda had a chance to be seen again.

[bingbong35]

Dueling divas! I think each woman brought their own interpretation and style to the song. They performed spectacularly together. I bet Belinda was a little nervous singing with Freida.

[Schwartzwolf]

I was happy to see this song come back, but I think it would have better had Freda done it solo.

[Alexyorba23]

agreed

[Nuerth]

Freda's original version was a 1000x.s better she captured the pain of falling out with someone you deeply love

[Love2sing7979]

Freda is a very talented women... she always presents herself very beautiful and is always a sweet heart i feel honored to know her..

:)

[DA90027]

Freda is a beautiful woman but that outfit is best left in the 80's, Belinda looks surprisingly tasteful here. Solid Gold was a campfest..it looks so tacky & dated now.

[GatewayGhettoProd]

Yes, everyone laughs at the fashions of 20 years earlier...just wait till the kids being born now get a look someday at the tatooed, pants-hangin-down styles of today! Freda and her sister Sherrie were very lovely women, check out their swimsuit "cheesecake" pics from the late 60's....

[jbfan622]

Freda's outfit is ok.she just needed to leave those balloons off the arms.

[JackAwful]

Hey! I'm just a guy,  but I was thinking just the opposite! Freda looks dressed for SHOW BUSINESS and Belinda looks like she's ready for a business convention. I love Freda's look, her hair is pre-Sanjaya and I even love the puffy arms! So there. :)
