I dunno, I'd kill for some of those moves, haha.
You know the interesting thing between that video and the television of today? If Soul Train was on today, it would be re-formated to be a reality competition where the best dancers were eliminated through a series of challenges and trials. Whereas, these guys and girls were just dancing -- they liked the music and they were on TV. I enjoyed the simplicity to that. Then again, I can say all this having just watched a clip for a couple minutes -- you had a whole decade of it! I defer to your judgement, haha. |

I'd just die for those red and white plaid pants! I had orange and green plaid pants with a 2" cuff and 6" platform shoes and lapels out to my shoulders.
Oh yea... we were so cool! (What were we thinking? LOL)

How much trim do you think Don Cornelius got? I remember watching just for the train cartoon.

Dagnabbit! Consarnit! The 1890's were a great time!
Actually Soul Train closed up shop just four years ago.

There were up to four dance shows when Soul Train was in its heyday. Dance Fever, ST, American Bandstand, and one other whose name escapes me at the moment. ST was the coolest.
