All This and Heaven Too (released April 15, 1978) is Andrew Gold's third studio album

Background

All This and Heaven Too reached the British Top Five in the albums chart in 1978. "Thank You for Being a Friend," which peaked at No. 25 in 1978, later gained popularity as the theme song for the 1985–1992 NBC situation comedy The Golden Girls, though it was performed by Cynthia "Cindy" Fee, a singer who often recorded advertising jingles, for the show. Gold also became known for his biggest UK hit song, "Never Let Her Slip Away," which was a No 5. chart hit in the UK; Freddie Mercury assisted Gold as an uncredited background singer on the track.[2][3][4][5][6][7] Undercover duplicated the chart position of Gold's original with a 1992 cover version.
