A Solid Gold Christmas
However you celebrate the Holidays, let the Solid Gold Dancers add to your festivity! In this clip from the 1984 Christmas episode of this television show that matched dance routines with pop hits of the week, the dancers take on beloved carols. The results: Let’s just say I’ve never seen anything like it!

As you watch, be on the lookout for:
- A routine to “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” that could be a lost montage from Saturday Night Fever.
- A performance of “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree” by Sister Sledge (of “We Are Family” fame) that places the boot-clad singers in front of a backdrop that’s a bizarre combination of “overblown Christmas” and one of the hottest angular lighting displays on video.
- WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T MISS THE DANCE NUMBER FEATURING SOLID GOLD REGULAR COOLEY JACKSON!!! At four minutes in, check out his moonwalk and body rolls in “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” Jackson added another dimension to the show, and it was definitely worth watching!
- An energetic and potentially frightening routine to “Frosty the Snowman,” in which the costume-clad title character bounces to life. And keeps going for a bit…
- A show-ending musical number featuring a children’s choir; Crystal Gayle; Peter, Paul and Mary and more…
Happy Holidays fromMirror80! Take time to reflect on the people that bring a little unexpected joy (and glitz) to your life!
