Retiring game show host Bob Barker has a disco connection or rather his show "The Price Is Right" does. Do you know what it is?

Does it have to do with the music played on the show? I know one of the instrumentals they've used a lot over the years is by The Blackbyrds called 'Love Is Love', although it's not a disco (as in the genre) track.

No, it's not the music. Keep guessing.:icon_biggrin:

[Svend]

Could it be that the theme music was sampled in Crystal Waters's fabulous "Come On Down"?

[nrgbeat]

No it has nothing to do with Crystal Waters.

Wow, this is tougher than I thought.:icon_biggrin:

I always thought "Cerrone's - Love in C minor" keyboard effects were quite similar to some early TPIR's tracks.

The Producer is a big fan of DISCO music!

He/She may be a big fan of disco, but that's not the correct answer. If nobody gets it, I'll tell you what it is tomorrow.

Nope and it's none of these either:

Bob Barker never danced at the Troc.

Bob Barker was never a dj at the Sandpiper.

Bob never auditioned for the Village People.

Bob never had an affair with Paul Jabara.

Rod Roddy and Sylvester were never considered to sing "No More Tears" together.

Bob was not the first choice for Tony Manero in SNF.

This may not be it, but it is kind of semi-obscure connection.

Bob Barker hosts The Price is Right. The Price is Right is a CBS game show. Another CBS game show that was around was Password. Password was originally taped at Studio 52 in the 1960s. Studio 52 would eventually become in the 70s as a popular disco club called Studio 54 that played disco music.

Hmm, sounds pretty good to me. :icon_razz:

Interesting guess, but not correct.

[nrgbeat]

Since no one guessed this, here's the answer.

Kathleen Bradley who was a Barker's beauty from 1990-2000 was a member of the disco group Destination who sang "Move On Up".

One of the more interesting Disco trivia questions in some time. never would have gotten this one, but it's good to know.

That is a good one !! :icon_biggrin:

Hey - after Roddie encouraged contestants to "Come on down" ... once they won the bidding and were going to climb on stage ...they could've cut over to Kathleen and have her quickly sing the line "Move on, UP! "

:icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:



BTW Bernie ... I miss your Trivia Dept. ....it was a fun area to play around ... but I guess you felt it wasn't ultilized enough ....

As a huge fan of TPiR, I never would have guessed that. There have been too many models to remember them all. :icon_biggrin:

[Disco Funk]

Very cool bit of trivia. I lost track of the show by the late 80s or so. I just remember the Beauties Holly, Janice?, and I forget the third - they were two blondes and a brunette.

I still love Barker's cameo in Happy Gilmore "the price is wrong....bi%ch".
