Description
Besides the fabulously be-dazzled Solid Gold Dancers, the TV show of the same name featured a wide variety of popular artists of the early to mid 1980s. Even though the performances were lip-synced, the program exposed audiences to all sorts of new music. On today’s show we discuss three albums from artists that appeared on the show, plus other 1980s TV memories.
Rick James – Street Songs (Andy)Madonna – Like a Virgin (Don)Twisted Sister – Stay Hungry (Dude)
