Solid Gold



This song came on while I was shopping at Salvation Army this past weekend for the upcoming Halloween extravaganza (more on that soon). Heather had never heard this one before, so I post it for her. Its by Andy Gibb, baby brother of the Bee Gees, and it stayed at #1 for seven consecutive weeks when it came out in 1978. It was co-written by the Bee Gees, who also sing on the track. Not soon after its release, AG's carreer took a downward spiral due to drug addiction and a broken heart when he and Victoria Principal split. He died in 1988 of a heart condition just after his 30th birthday and just weeks before he was to join his brothers as the 4th BeeGee.
