Welcome to the Unofficial SOLID GOLD Web Site!
We're celebrating our ELEVENTH year as the source for information about SOLID GOLD
the MUSIC SHOW of the 80's.
When I first started this web site, it was the only one.
I had a few pages and a couple of pictures.
The site certainly has grown!! And this really has been a group effort.
I hope you'll take a moment to visit my THANK YOU page.
I've been very fortunate to have had so many people contribute to creating this web site.
THANK YOU to everyone who has helped, visited, and/or emailed me!

SOLID GOLD and VH1
In 1998, VH1 began airing a half-hour version of our favorite show! Initially - in the Spring - SOLID GOLD was on weekdays at 1:00 PM - and it seemed like the show would be a regular part of VH1's daily schedule! But - as frustrated fans found out - that was not the case and it was more of a "feast or famine" with VH1 either running "marathons" or airing the show sporadically. Finally, VH1 just stopped running the show.
"SOLID GOLD FANS" can let their voices be heard by emailing VH1 and letting them know that we want "SOLID GOLD" back on VH1!
THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS IS: VHWEBSHOW@vh1.com and be sure to put "SOLID GOLD" in the subject! I received this response from VH1 regarding "SOLID GOLD":
