The Girls in Gold Boots
Anyone with a passing interest in miniskirted a-go-go ephemera should head over to Derrick Bostrom’s, where he has two albums by The Golddiggers available for download. The Golddiggers were a popular troupe of dancing chorus girls on The Dean Martin Show, appearing weekly and later spinning off to their own variety show. Singing wasn’t exactly the ladies’ primary forté, but that didn’t prevent them from recording of course. UPDATE: The albums have been removed.
Love the cover art on The Golddiggers … Today! LP (click for more detail).
They were the Pussycat Dolls of their time…
Dean Martin made his show #1 in America. The Golddiggers kept it that way for most of his 9-year run. Fantasic!

Hello, Matt! In case you wonder what became of Derrick’s writers, we went over to a Yahoo group for the time being. Look into joining GoldsandDings if you can, among our members are Michelle DellaFave, Nancy Bonetti and Taffy Jones- 2 Golddiggers and a Ding-a-Ling Sister. Derrick and Mike are here, too. I’m Ralph. Thanks!
