That’s absolutely true. I was the assistant engineer on those Solid Gold Band recording sessions. Lots of Sundays in the studio.

That’s a good question. I don’t know if that song was ever released as a single or on an album. I checked iTunes and it’s definitely not there. You can totally watch it on YouTube though.

I bet it’s in the liner notes for the CD.

I’ve googled it to death. I was hoping Mike Miller could tell me but don’t know how to email him. I thought maybe he might see my post here.
Thanks

Hm, I totally don’t know! I bet you could Google it, though.

There’s a video on Youtube of Toni Tennille singing “How High the Moon” from Solid Gold. Is there any way you can tell me who plays the bass on this tune?
Thanks

Thanks, Molly, for writing back. I have to tell you that the Wikipedia information about Stevie Nicks being the only performer to ever sing live on Solid Gold is just not true! That Wikipedia article has now been corrected. Perhaps the false information came from the fact that I was a stickler for creating tracks that sounded just like the records. We had some of L.A.’s top studio players in the Solid Gold Band, and we made sure to never leave the recording studio until the tracks were perfect. That said, there were still plenty of artists who lip-synched, but more than half of them through the years sang live. Thanks again for all you do…

Michael

Thanks for stopping by with your feedback. The information about live performances came from a Wikipedia article about the show, and from viewing various performances (Stevie Nicks was the only one that appeared to be live) in an effort to double check what Wikipedia stated. I will let your comment stand as a correction and will stay alert for articles that cite live performances on the show. Personally, I thought the show was lip synched because the performances sounded exactly like the recorded versions of the songs. Not that I minded — Solid Gold was one of the best music/entertainments shows ever — lip synching or not. Someone should bring it back!
