Solid Gold (TV series) Solid Gold is an American syndicated music television series which debuted on September 13, 1980. Like many other shows of its genre, such as "American Bandstand," "Solid Gold" featured musical performances and various other elements such as music videos. What set "Solid Gold" apart was a group of dancers in revealing costumes who at various points in the program performed various (and sometimes borderline risqué) dances to the top ten hits of the week. Many other specials aired in which the dancers would dance to older pop hits as well. Reviews of the show were not always positive, with "The New York Times" referring to it as "the pop music show that is its own parody...[enacting] mini-dramas...of covetousness, lust and aerobic toning—routines that typically have a minimal connection with the songs that back them up."
