cyberjudge Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) 'Golden Girls' Theme Song Writer Andrew Gold Dies at 59 by Jean Bentley (reprinted from aoltv.com) "You might not have heard of Andrew Gold, but you've definitely heard his work. The singer-songwriter worked with luminaries like Linda Ronstadt, Art Garfunkel, Celine Dion, James Taylor and Sir Paul McCartney in the '70s, but he was most famous for the iconic tune 'Thank You for Being a Friend,' which was used as the theme song for 'The Golden Girls' during the sitcom's seven-year run. Gold died Friday of a heart attack in Los Angeles at age 59. You know what this means -- Betty White will truly outlive us all. After the jump, sing along with us as we honor Gold's life (and amazing contribution to the TV landscape). " Edited June 7, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
