Watch his performance on SOLID GOLD. ITs a voice over lip sync, but he is surrounded by some of the most beautiful gyrating women you will EVER lay eyes on. Its a classic!
I was also 9 years of age when this song came up. I remember hearing this song on the radio back in 1979; then I watched this on television; perhaps the show "Solid Gold". It was the first time I ever watched a song being performed on TV that I'd heard on the radio. I was all too fascinated by this, much to my mother's amusement.
Bump this UP...increase your BASS and turn the lights OFF, flip ON the disco ball, and LIGHT UP! This song will resonate throughout your entire Mind, Body and Soul. #JohnStewart #Gold #Groovy #Bass #StevieNicks
I totally forgot about this song. Totally Jammin' with the windows down... The original came out in about 1979 (pretty jammin' then), then John Stewart and Stevie Nicks re-recorded it later. More Jammin'...!
Kev Gray I know....remember how we had to wait for the right ages to drive, have no curfews, and be old enough get into a bar? The older you get, the less you want to do any of that, lol. Driving is a pain, sleep is necessary if you don't want to scare small children the next day, and bars are too noisy....
I have been looking for actual video of John and Stevie together. Can’t find one . Driving all over and singing to his soul. People out there turning music into gold ♥️♥️🎼🎼 gold is so good , I have it on repeat 🔁.
sitting at the WILDWOOD CREST shore line..turned the big 50 with my BESTIE WE WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL TOGETHER SHE REMEMBER THIS SONG.. GOOD OLE DAYS.THAT'S WHY I'M HEAR..LIVIN LIFE.. HALF A CENTURY OLD WOW REALLY TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE...✌💜😀
I heard this song again in june 2019 for the first time in decades on the radio at a restaurant i was working at. Still love this song to this day just as much as i did when i was child. I also loved Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood mac since i was a child as well to loving the mystical sounding tunes of Fleetwood Mac and songs such as this from John Stewart as well. Brings back the magical and mystical aspects of my childhood and the memories of then.
Wow. This song came out during the space of time between Rumors & Tusk. Radio & fans were craving the sound of more Nicks like addicts needing a fix. This song became a huge hit because of that and the simple fact it was an awesome song. This mix is terrific. I can only imagine what woukd have happened had this mix been on radio in 78 & 79 along with "Whenever I Call You Friend" courtesy K. Loggins. Amazing mixology here.
Early summer 1979/ air force tech school/ no ac, only a fan/ got orders to turkey/ I remember it like it was yesterday/alot of uncertainty/ adventure? you could say that.
I was USAF in 73, stationed @ the old George AFB, Victorville .... Loved this song winding thru the sparse desert trees., relaxing w/ ladies and a bottle of wine!
Buckingham never took guitar lessons and does not read music.[2] By age 13, he became interested in folk music and, influenced by banjo methods, practiced the energetic style of the Kingston Trio. From 1966-1971, Buckingham performed psychedelic and folk rock with the band Fritz in the San Francisco Bay as a bassist and vocalist. Shortly after joining Fritz, Buckingham invited friend Stevie Nicks to join Fritz as a second vocalist. Their romantic relationship would begin after both left Fritz five years later.[3]
Here's the real story of how John Stewart and LIndsey Buckingham actually learned to play guitar by copying from each other's recordings with the Kingston Trio & Fleetwood Mac, in John's own words from a Kingston Trio reunion concert recorded in 1981 ~ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mE_y39XAOuo.html
Sadly, most people who love this song have never heard any of John Stewart's other songs which-IMHO-are vastly better than 'Gold.' He was a fabulous singer/songwriter whose career spanned all the way back to the Folk music of the early 1960s and was a founding member of The Kingston Trio. Check out his excellent LP 'California Bloodlines.'
When I first heard this, I was surprised that Johnny Cash did a disco song. Then the internet corrected me. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't Johnny, but still like the song.
