Band Of Gold (Freda Payne Song)
"Band of Gold" is a song written and composed by former Motown producers Holland–Dozier–Holland (under the pseudonym of Edythe Wayne) and Ron Dunbar. It was a major hit when first recorded by Freda Payne in 1970 for the Invictus label, owned by H-D-H. The song has been recorded by numerous artists, notably competing 1986 versions by contrasting pop singers Belinda Carlisle and Bonnie Tyler, and a 2007 version by Kimberley Locke. The legendary songwriting team of Holland–Dozier–Holland used the name Edythe Wayne because of a lawsuit in which they were embroiled with Motown.

Payne reluctantly gave in after much persuasion by Dunbar. Almost immediately following its release, the Payne record became an in ...

Jeoff Barraclough was the announcer as well as music coordinator. Round 1 Three contestants competed per episode, one a returning champion. In round 1, four categories were presented to the players, each containing four notes, with each note ranging from 50 to 100 points (in 5-point increments). A song was played, and the first contestant to buzz-in and identify the song got the points. A wrong answer meant the player was out for the next song, though, and the other two could guess.

Some notes had a bonus question attached—if answered correctly, the player could double the value by correctly answering a question related to the song or the artist. Round 2 In this round, Barnett was joined by Francks, a ...
