This reminds me of being a kid living in Cedar Grove, WV. I would watch for anything that had Andy or The Bee Gees on it. I still love them all so much. Such a big part of my childhood. Great memories. Thank you for posting! 🥰

The Gibb brothers were very talented, indeed!!! Not only as one of the members of The Bee Gees, but Barry Gibb had also worked with Dionne Warwick on her "Heartbreaker" album from 1982, but accompanied her on the "Heartbreaker" song (along with the other two Bee Gees), and Barry had written the song "Yours" for Dionne, for which she had recorded for the same "Heartbreaker" album. I wonder, Michael, if Dionne had ever performed "Yours" on "Solid Gold." Anyway, Andy Gibb was a talent in his own right, and thank goodness for these recordings that help preserve his youth and legacy, of which he was at his pinnacle during his "Solid Gold" time period.

[@bigeyezzzzzzz]

Yes sir, Andy was certainly an amazing talent (and human being) but no, we never did “Yours“ with Dionne on the show.

[@jasonburger3533]

@@bigeyezzzzzzz Andy was special in many ways, to say the least. "Solid Gold" showcased his talents so much. As far as "Yours", that had been written by the "other" Gibbs, the Bee Gees, as was "Heartbreaker", as we know so well. "Yours" was/is a lengthy ballad and the original demo by Barry Gibb singing it sounds special in that he had specially written that song and "Heartbreaker" for Dionne Warwick and they were tailor-made for her sound and style. The way that she had emoted on both those songs was remarkable and tremendous and continued to showcase the Gibb family talents as well.

Huge, big time double thumbs up to this one my friend! Love the backups as always, and him NOT lip-syncing... nice!

[@bigeyezzzzzzz]

So glad you enjoyed this version we did of “Thicker Than Water”, and you’ll be pleased to know that Andy never lip-synched during the year that he hosted SOLID GOLD. 🤗

[@NagyZsuzsanna58]

Andy’s main instrument is his throat.thank you.

[@alicjadudek1042]

To prawda

[@melissawilson7131]

I still recall asking my mom where is Andy she said he making a new song . I kept watching the show hoping our Andy would come back. He was 11 yrs older than me.Mike, do you have a page that we( the fans of solid gold can be Facebook friends? with you?

[@bigeyezzzzzzz]

Glad you are enjoying all the music that Andy and I put together, as well as all of the magic that Andy left on this earth. Also, you mentioned the name “Mike“, so I’m not sure if you’re referring to me, as my name is Michael, but if you are referring to me, my only purpose is to put this music on KZbin for people to enjoy. However, if you are looking for fan pages, I think you’ll find that there are plenty of Facebook groups for fans of Andy and SOLID GOLD that you can join.

[@musicvarietyclips]

Do you have him singing Shadow Dancing? He was wearing a blue shirt!

[@cedric7122]

This is actually live singing.

[@LogoMan7777]

Some wiseguy on Facebook said: "I only heard lip-synching on "solid Gold." Can't say for absolute sure this is the studio version since I don't have sound on this library computer, but I'll bet it is."

[@bigeyezzzzzzz]

As the musical director for SOLID GOLD, I can unequivocally tell you that all of the solo and duet performances by the hosts were sung live. I always arranged, produced and pre-recorded the band tracks with my SOLID GOLD band, and then the hosts, such as Andy, Dionne, Marilyn, etc, sang, live to the tracks. The reason why some people might think that lip-synching was taking place is because when we were doing one of the host’s actual hits, I always did my best to re-create the arrangements with my band so that they would sound like the records.
