Solid Gold 80-81/Different Dancers/Rocky Burnett

Opening and closing sequence for Solid Gold 80-81 (including host credit and the top ten countdown). I made this one because Tony and Kahea are not in this one! There is some short latin dude and a (IMHO) Pat Benatar look alike instead on the beloved T & K! I have no clue if this was in the very beginning of the season or what, but it is what it is, a rare variation!! Enjoy!

Hey LB, just curious. Do you know who the Pat Benatar dancer was at 4:18 of the video?

@bkgtubster - sorry I don't.

Thanks for posting this. It is great to see Rocky, but it is even better to see Darcel. What a dish she was!

[lbCharmed1]

Truth be told, 25 years later she still is.

Rocky Burnette is super-cool!!!!!!

Simple chording along with his HIC-UP word ending  really makes it a very nice song. Liked the first time I heard it.

@bkgtubster Ah...no.

For some reason, I remembered him playing a flying V. Maybe I got my Paul Stanley guitars mixed up

I remember seeing this episode. I like the song. It's a shame you cannot get the original version on cd today.

You're right ronafer69, the mustached male dancer from SG '79 and the Latin mustached male dancer from the early series episodes are not the same man.

[ronafer69]

To me the the short latin dudew/ the mustache wasn't on SG' 79. The guy in Solid Gold '79 had dark brown hair and appears as a dancer in the movie "Xanadu". Check out the video of Xanadu. Plus this guy here is a much better dancer than the one in SG'79.

does anybody know where rocky is now? thanks...

[syouyun]

Yeah that was a great Xanudu dance

and his rhythm is better than Tony's for Upside Down. HOT!
