Subject: Solid Gold - The One And Only

Written By: cougardawg5 on 11/26/04 at 11:17 pm

I was a fan from the first special to the end.  Does anyone else remember the three hour original special that started out the series?  Can you name the two hosts?  Can you name the first song they played?

OK..enough trivia.  I thought the first round with just Dionne was the best,  Marilyn and Andy was good as well.  But Rick Dees..what crap!

And anyone else remember the other regulars? Marty Cohen was the first regular..a comedian (using that term would be generous).  He turned up years later trying to be a morning DJ in San Francisco and lasted about three months.  Arsino was cool.  Nina Blackwood...what the hell was she doing there.

I wish Paramount would get wise and try a new version.  Maybe we can get Ashlee Simpson to host now that her career is over! ;D

I've seen it on VH1 in the mid '90's.  8)  (Was too young in the '80's to remember it  :P)

The dancers were also great.

I liked it. I would watch it. My fave host was Marilyn McCoo. I also liked when Madam (the puppet) would be on.

I used to LOVE that show! I would watch it with my mom when I was really young!  I used to love seeing the dancers flashy outfits!

I loved that show!  Didn't Rex Smith also have a turn hosting?
