Liquid Gold were an English disco group formed in Brackley, Northamptonshire in 1977. The band consisted of Ellie Hope on vocals, Ray Knott on bass, Wally "Eddie" Rothe on drums, and Syd Twynham on guitar. Their first single, "Anyway You Do It", was released in October 1978 and fell just short of a top 40 place in the UK Singles Chart. This led to a move to Polo Records for their next release, "My Baby's Baby", which became a hit in the US, reaching number five on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1979. Their biggest UK success came with "Dance Yourself Dizzy" in 1980, which peaked at number two on the UK chart. Other notable singles include "Substitute", which reached number eight in the UK, and "The Night, The Wine And The Roses". In March 1981, the single "Don't Panic" was released and entered into the Song For Europe contest to pick the UK's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1981. The band released several more singles before disbanding in 1984 following the departure of Wally "Eddie" Rothe and Syd Twynham. Their album Liquid Gold was released in 1980 and peaked at number 34. They released several more singles before splitting up in 1984.
