THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND
“Thank You for Being a Friend” is a song written by Andrew Gold, who recorded it for his third album, All This and Heaven Too. The song reached number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1978. In Canada, the song peaked at number seven. The song was famously later re-recorded by Cynthia Fee to serve as the theme song for the NBC sitcom The Golden Girls, and recorded again for the series’ CBS spin-off The Golden Palace.

Andrew Gold was also a key member of Linda Ronstadt’s backup band in the same time period as Kenny Edwards; one of his songs, “Thank You for Being a Friend” was selected to be the theme song for the TV series Golden Girls.
