"Solid Gold" is a song performed by Dionne Warwick, composed by Michael K. Miller, lyrics by Dean Pitchford.^[2] It is the official theme song of the 1980s TV music show Solid Gold.

Warwick also performed "Solid Gold" on The Tonight Show on June 25, 1981.^[3]

The lyrics of the opening verse encapsulate the spirit of both the song and the show:

The music has magic,

You know you can catch it;

If you let the songs take control...

The sound starts to glisten,

The more that you listen,

And slowly it turns into gold...

And here is the catchy chorus:

Solid Gold, filling up my life with music

Solid Gold, putting rhythm in my soul

There’s a song that’s unreeling to fit the way that I’m feeling

My head keeps spinning to music, spinning to gold…

Solid Gold
