- For 25 years, from 1978 to 2003, Soul Beat was a 24/7, black-owned, public access TV network and it was the first music video network in the nation.
My mama was on Soul Beat at Sweet Jimmie’s back in the day dancing the night away. 💃🏾💯♥️
Lunell started on Soul Beat. I loved Soul Beat, talk about a blast from the past. I remember Cindy too. ☺️🙌🏽
You don't remember rock A little bow pee He was on Martin The same episode With James from good times I know all of them I used to be there all the time We'll not all the time
Soul Beat, as an Oakland native, was the soundtrack of my childhood.
Bring soul beat back
We need this documentary ASAP!
Oakland native here ❤
I used to watch Soul Beat faithfully. Excellent!
This brings me back so many memories
I remember Soul Beat so well, used to watch Computers and You every weekend. I remember when Chuck Johnson passed so vividly because it was my birthday. Loved those TV shows they made. I remember calling Yusef Bey and debating an issue on his talk show. I never knew they were the first all video music channel.
Oakland high st here. Was just talking to my daughter bout how that's all we watched. Sender her this video
Billy Jam! Good to see Billy!
Memory....Hair Grease Ribs & Nail Polish
I had a friend who worked there and she was also on those St. Eves beer commercials :)
The gong show on soul beat
Man.....is there any footage of the early shows 1978-1982? I was on there and I became Lead singer of Slave. I met Mr. Johnson and he let me sing The Dazz Band and Stevie Wonder with no music!!! That gave me confidence I sang every song on the New Plateau album by Slave and I joined slave on the Bad Enuff Album taking the place of the Amazing Steve Arrington!
Yes my grandma did a commercial for a restaurant called “moms rainbow diner” , she recently passed away Dec 2023 and I desperately want to find her commercial myself. Lol ❤
I am sorry for your loss and I hope that you can find the footage.@@154shayshay
Spectacular! Too bad I missed this when I lived so close down in Stanislaus county. Was that Oaktown 357?
This is more organic than the whole pseudo black live matters movement today
man that jingle for the network hit hard
Me n my cousins was on da Bong Show on SB back n '88 did New Editions IF IT ISNT LOVE ...we got gonged lol👎🏾🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂😂
I was on Soul beat once in the 90’s I can’t remember if it was for school or the choir I was in but I totally went to Eastmont dusty ass mall to be on the show. I didn’t get to say shit from what I remember but I don’t really remember much from the 90’s anymore!
Eastmont use to be lit, lol. Now it's more of a resource building.
I didnt know Plan Bee's father was a superstar!?!
Shout out Billy Jam!!
Nite dawg still trending lol CZcams him
Its black history month?
No, it’s Black History Year! ✊🏾🇺🇸
Put color on everything divided we fall
Chewy Gomez is the original
No, he wasn't but he's definitely paid his dues
The one statement that in the 70s and 80s blacks weren't on tv is a crock of poop. Plenty of Blkack shows back then.
