I LOVED that show, and I LOVED Darcel . I loved Solid Gold as a kid!!. I love this post! Wanted so much to be like the Solid Gold lead dancer when I was kid – thought she was the most amazing woman I had ever seen. Love that they now connect. Those stories about the Grandmother are also just wonderful. Thank you for sh . I grew up watching SOLID GOLD! I wanted to be a dancer! I live in Tennessee, nope, no dancing. I love your story. I see you shining out there!!!! Keep up the good work for the rest of us dancers!!. Oh my gosh, what an amazing story teller! I hear her voice telling wonderful, spirited stories for children. I want to read my kids books written by this lady. What fun!. I’m a Solid Gold kid as well! The only bad part was that it was on Sunday nights, and I dreaded school the next day. Loved Darcel, and love that she follows you! Thanks for the great memories. Happiness is an old man with a beer and a heeler sitting near shirt

Wow, I love how he turned his size into an asset. That’s great perseverance and creativity.. This story makes me so happy; and I really want to meet his mom and hear her story too. She sounds awesome!. Justin is an example to all people and his mother is a natural wonder. Life has not been fair to them, but they have overcome and thrived! I pray that the future will be generous and rewarding to them!. Your mom sounds amazing and raised you right! I’ve seen you play with the Globetrotters and was so impressed with your skills!. This is a beautiful story. Your mom is incredible, and she raised y’all right. Hammer did great by y’all, too. Congratulations. Your mom sounds amazing, and she taught you well. I hope to stand up for my boys as well as she did.. Size abilities instead of disabilities. I love it!! I’m sad to hear about the cruelties humanity has to offer but grateful he’s found sources of light in some segments of our community. Him and his family are amazing.

We always watched Solid Gold!!! Those dancers were incredible . Love this so much! I watched Solid Gold as a kid growing up in Miami and it was my favorite show. Unfortunately my mom stopped letting me watch it after seeing me showcasing my Solid Gold moves in our front yard in a bikinibut it was fun while it la . She was absolutely the best dancer on Solid Gold! I loved her!. LOVED me some solid gold!!! I bet there are so many of us that wanted to dance on that show. I can also hear your Grandma saying “ooooooooooh weee!!!” Love it.. Loved Solid Gold and Dance Fever (with Adrian Zmed). Yet two more reasons I will forever love the 80s.. I loved Solid Gold! I used to roll around on the ottoman and imitate those ladies. I used to wear my mom’s macrame plant holder to imitate Darcel’s braids. So cool! Lol
