"Solid Gold" is a song performed by Dionne Warwick, composed by Michael K. Miller, lyrics by Dean Pitchford.[2] It is the official theme song of the 1980s TV music show Solid Gold.
Warwick also performed "Solid Gold" on The Tonight Show on June 25, 1981.[3]
The lyrics of the opening verse encapsulate the spirit of both the song and the show:
- The music has magic,
- You know you can catch it;
- If you let the songs take control...
- The sound starts to glisten,
- The more that you listen,
- And slowly it turns into gold...
And here is the catchy chorus:
- Solid Gold, filling up my life with music
- Solid Gold, putting rhythm in my soul
- There’s a song that’s unreeling to fit the way that I’m feeling
- My head keeps spinning to music, spinning to gold…
- Solid Gold
