If you like Flo Rida's hit song "Good Feeling" - you might be curious to know where it originated from...ladies and gentlemen, the late, great Etta James.

This Saturday Night Solid Gold Show is taking a special 2-hour look back at the top songs from this week in 1984.  Some songs have endured over the years, others haven't been heard in ages, and depending on your age, some you may not have heard at all!! 

Also New at 9 will feature new music from one of the bigger "hair bands" of the late 80s, and a Triple Play at 10 featuring Neil Young.

 I know a lot of you are probably asking, "Who is Ronnie Montrose?" True, not a name most casual music fans would recognize, but I can almost guarantee you've heard some of the music and musicians he was associated with. A versatile session guitarist, Montrose is perhaps best known for his work with Van Morrison on his Tupelo Honey album, which contained the hit "Wild Night," a song John Mellencamp had a hit with in 1994. He also worked with the Edgar Winter Group during that band's most successful period. In fact, here's a recent clip of Ronnie jamming onstage with Edgar on one of their classic rockers.

 But for me personally, I became aware of Ronnie Montrose in the late 80s when I started exploring the back catalogue of one of my favourite rock singers, Sammy Hagar, who at that time of course was in Van Halen. I ...

The release of the new Van Halen album, A Different Kind of Truth, is a milestone, in many ways...

8 years since the last new Van Halen material, the 3 new tracks on the 2-CD Best of Both Worlds compilation in 2004, during the band's ill-fated reunion with Sammy Hagar.  (Seriously, read Sam's book!)

14 years since the even iller-received Van Halen 3, the last album of all-new material, this one featuring the vocals of Extreme's Gary Cherone.

16 years since the band tried to reunite with David Lee Roth, resulting in only 2 new DLR tunes and a disasterous appearance on the 1996 MTV Awards.

...and...

28 long years since the last full Van Halen to feature Diamond Dave, the classic 1984.

So to mark this occasion, I'm planning a very special edition of the Saturday Night Solid Gold Show.  I'm asking YOU, yes YOU out there to send ...
