Today in Music History - 1985: By way of 1978.
Today in Music History - 1985 The TV series The Golden Girls debuts on NBC. Its theme song is "Thank You for Being a Friend," written by Andrew Gold but sung by a jingle singer named Cynthia Fee. Gold's version was released in 1978 and reached #25 in the US.
Fun fact - Fans of The Golden Girls remember the endless late-night kitchen chats over slices of cheesecake, but actress Rue McClanahan (Blanche) actually revealed in interviews that the cast didn't even like eating it—they would often spit the bites into hidden napkins between takes because the prop cheesecakes sat out under hot studio lights all day!
