Today in Music History - 1980: I Wanna Dance!
Today in Music History - 1980: The TV series Solid Gold premieres. Like its genre-mates American Bandstand and Soul Train, the show consists of Top-40 music (mostly recorded) in a studio with a dance stage and floor. A feature of the show is a specialty crew of "Solid Gold dancers" who bump and grind to the tunes.
Dionne Warwick is the host for the first season, but the show rotates through numerous hosts during its course. The show runs almost eight seasons before discontinuing in 1988.
Other co-hosts were Marilyn McCoo, Andy Gibb, Rex Smith, and Rick Dees.
Blondie were on the first episode and might have done this song.
