- This is the only show I am aware of that ends without the Solid Gold Dancers performing to the show theme song. Rationale is they left the building after listening to Rick Dees perform Disco Duck live.
Rick, don’t say that!!
Season {5} Solid Gold. Air Date Saturday December 1st 1984. Poor Rick "Disco Duck" Dees alone by himself when entire audience & dancers walked out leaving the studio. He always doing comedy bits every week and invited people to impersonating music artists on the show. Deborah Davis was contestant on Star Search with Ed McMahon 1983-1984 or 1984-1985. Deborah Davis took over Marylin McCoo beginning 5th Season closing theme song for Solid Gold 84-85.
Playing Disco Duck was probably not such a good idea be it comedically or otherwise, hence the walkout & the empty studio.
@@TeshawnEdmonds Was that all part of the act?
@@jnadle1 I was born in 1985 & you're gonna need to look that up on Google & Wikipedia.
@@jnadle1 I think that it might have been part of the act. With Paul McCartney giving the introduction, they at "Solid Gold" knew what they were getting into with Rick Dees and "Disco Duck". That song actually was a #1 hit on the Billboard charts in 1976. However, in 1984 it was a quack-up that led to a crack-up and Rick Dees being replaced by guest hosts until the return of Dionne Warwick in the 1985-1986 season that followed. Personally, I found the dancing duck funny, but by 1984 disco had not been as popular as in 1976 when that song hit #1 in the bicentennial year of the United States. It shows some of the evolution of popular music during those eras.
Rick Dees had the distinction of being the only host of "Solid Gold" not to sing the theme song.
His 1990-1991 ABC-TV late night talk show "Into The Night" had replaced him with guest hosts until being cancelled later in 1991, so it followed a similar pattern. Marilyn McCoo had been a guest and performed "You Don't Have To Be A Star (To Be In My Show)" on a March 1991 episode of that Rick Dees program.
PICO: Excise me! As of 1984 - 1985; whose voice sang the "Solid Gold" theme (Season 5)
Based on posts by the Solid Gold Musical Director Michael Miller I believe it is Deborah Davis. With no performing host in early season 5 something different needed to be done with the closing.
Why did the solid gold dancers walk off? This is so sad hearing the song and not seeing them on stage 💔
It was a comedy bit as Rick sang Disco Duck so the audience and crew all booed and left the stage.
@@jasonburger3533 I've begun to think that this was the nail in the coffin that got Rick fired and led to guest hosts filling in until Dionne Warwick returned.
Why Did They All Leave?
@@tvfan23 Wow...
It was just a comedy bit
Being in the audio/broadcast/video production field my entire 40 career, this "ending" as you have it, had to be ENTIRELY designed, written, thought-though, with the final net effect, EXACTLY what we saw. I mean...if the dancers just plainly "walked-off-the-stage", the stage, video, audio, lighting, camera & main programming director, would have stopped immediately. As "embarrassing" as this looked, this FULLY pre-recorded & FULLY rehearsed "ending" would have NEVER been cut into the final video reels, if the executive producers, didn't want it to be very much so part of the "act". Gotta remember, SOLID GOLD was pre-recorded before a studio audience, about two weeks, before it was satellite beamed out to it's affiliates. NOTHING that was NOT supposed to cut into the final mix, would never be just "mistakenly", haphazardly, just left in.
Well, that's my "over-thinking-thoughts-and-conclusions" on this piece.
SOLID GOLD was EXTREMELY STEADFAST, PRECISE & DELIBERATE on EXACTLY what programming went out to the viewing masses...and what did NOT.

This bit was totally scripted I agree. Was just another comedy bit done by Rick Dees and the producers.
I can't imagine why the show producer thought that was a good idea. It wasn't funny and we don't get to see the dancers. So bizarre.
I liked when he hosted...always curious why he wasn't hosting during the entire season seemed by the late spring summer 85 they had guest hosts after he left ..Mcoo and Warwick seemed to stay thru the entire seasons they hosted of course Mcoo hosted fr 81 to 84 and then again fr 86-88
LOL...that was actually funny to me. But to be honest, I did not enjoy the season while Rick Dees hosted. Things just seemed off. I don't know if it was the new set or the absence of Darcel...I don't know. It was just an overall weird moment for me.
