To all the black men on Soul Train in the 70’s. Thank you for showing me 1,000’s of dance moves. Because of you I was voted best male dancer in high school in 1983. Cheers🍷
As a dancer, I watch these old Soul Train clips because you see lots of moves that have fallen out of fashion or are very unique. Highly inspirational.
I was in the AIr Force in the 70’s and it was so fun to go to disco every time we could off duty, we danced and had a blast, no drugs no alcohol just fun and not all this division in races, i miss those times, at least i have retained friendships from my AF days w my buddies
Synthpon80s 198X when my mates and I go out, we bust these moves out from time to time. Great fun is had when you just don't give a fuck and move the way you feel
Soullllllll trainnnnnnnnn the Best program on Saturday mornings in the 1970's, dancing & the best groups of yester year on that show it was the best of that Era.
Everyone in those days...could'nt wait to get dressed up and hit the clubs...and no f#@÷king cell phones! It was so clean and elegant...thank you God for letting me have been a part of that...Peace to ALL...
Right there with you, good times. ❤❤ Love being a teenager in the 70's . To bad we can't go back. So many good memories. But we still can remember because of the music from the 1970's.
Sho you right. I didn't want to go to the delivery room with Christina because Soul Train was about to come on. If asked if I could wait till out was off...lol!
@@lgee9027 do your research. Inflation was worse back then. People today have just come to expect everything is a necessity. Going out for a Big Mac was a good date 😅
People don't have fun like this anymore because our culture has been under attack by Communists for at least 20 if not 30 or more years. Communists have been undermining our culture from within and debasing it so that people have little in common anymore and what little they do have in common is vulgar and tasteless. It's all to cause people to despair and to feel demoralized making them easier prey for the Communist revolution they want to have. Why do you think there were riots in 2020? Why do you think protesters are taking over university campuses now? It's all about pushing people to accept Communist tyranny.
Unfortunately because life isn't fun anymore. The Corporation has taken over and engineers every sector of life and now the country is collapsing. It makes me feel extremely demoralized but at least I was born in 1959 and got to live my childhood in the 60s and teenager-hood in the 1970s.
This is the America the Towers were built in; endless potential and optimism in all, all around you. Not just one soaring, gleaming structure to reach into the sky, but two. Twice the energy, twice the vision: the power of two souls for one purpose. They danced across the face of our nation for thirty glorious years, and of a sudden our happiness and identity was stripped away, one terribly clear morning in September.
Such a blue sky, so clear and perfect, I noticed at 8:30 how lovely that day was, while waiting in the parking lot in the Boogie Down, ready to go to work at Bronx Psychiatric Center. Then the NPR reporter on the radio said what they were seeing at 8:47 or thereabouts, and he said what happenedI. I imagined it was like a small Cessna prop plane like the ones that had hit the Empire State Building decades before. Then the world collapsed, and by noon our hospital took in hundreds of patients from Harlem, the Bronx and Westchester County, so that those psychiatric units could take in wounded. But there were no wounded. So the next day all of our emergency psych patients began to be returned to their hospitals, there was no need for space to treat the wounded.
I love ❤️ Earth, wind and fire, I saw them in concert about 20 years ago and to this day, it’s the best concert that I ever ever been to in my life and it still is. God bless 🙏🏻❤️
i’m 17 and all i wish for is to find a time a machine so i can travel back to these times and know what it feels to have this much fun, no phones, just you and real people living and vibing in the moment. one concert is all i ask for guys 😔🥺.
i went to a very "black" high school and even we white kids watched Sooooooooul Train and this is pretty much what every dance looked like. good times!!!
What a beautiful celebration of youthful exuberance. This makes me smile and feel a nostalgia for a time when I was so little, but so tuned into pop culture. I hope in 35 years when I am a lonely old lady, I will come across this and remember how I feel right now and bask in this moment and glean some of this happiness. They sure are shaking their money makers!
I remember sewing some of these dresses. I probably still have the patterns somewhere. Cheesecloth, seersucker, chiffon, memories. Now I'm just sewing face masks while binge-watching these clips.
It amazes me how well-dressed everyone is the guys look very handsome and the women look very beautiful and not showing all their body parts the dancing skills are great too they can actually dance and they're not being raunchy are vulgar
You know people in general do not look as good as they use too. If they had this show today everyone would be dancing down the soul train line with beer bellies and women with huge rear ends in tight pants.
Что-то было у них в душе в то время, тот задор и чистота, которой нет у нынешней молодежи. И приятно смотреть, что одежда и танцы вызывают положительные эмоции и радость за то поколение
True. Youth back then weren't exposed to all the 'impure' influences that today's youth have to contend with. Modern day TV (we only had 3 channels) and the invention of the internet can be both a blessing and a curse.
People were certainly far and away more content than what we see today: 1/4 of the country on prescribed daily psych drugs - social media bringing out the very worst in attitudes, racial tensions, epidemic homelessness, border invasions, greed driving everything. It is long past time we got back to dancing!!
@@12potatos I grew up in the 70s and never knew anything about a drug crisis. I suppose there has always been a 'drug crisis' somewhere but if anything it was less prevalent then than it is now. The 70s were a time when people were happier and healthier
I was about 14 or 15 when this song was out and I can definitely remember wearing some of those clothes, like the pants with the collar shirt and the sweater over top of it
They looked so carefree and happy. I wish I could have just spent my life in my twenties dressed up dancing down a soul train line. Instead I had to live a stressful life go to college, take out student loans , work and pay bills. Such a stressful and unrewarding life.
Earth, Wind and Fire 🔥 in the House! They are gonna set Columbia, SC on fire soon! Time to boogie down! I wanna hear them so much Live! Dancin in September!!!💃🕺
OMG You just hit a home run with those comments TRUE DAT! I will always have ode skool music in my blood 4EVER! ! Still Listening How About February 22 2019
I Love Soul Train and I learned how to Dance by Watching the Dancers back in the Philippines back then we have Air force base in my home town at Clark Air Force base and is Soul train time back in 1970 up to 80 the new generation am whit Dan Cornelius The OG❤❤
I was a professional wedding staffer. This song was played every single cocktail hour for years and years, don't believe me? Check the next wedding you attend. Anyways, I was 17 seconds in and I had to stop. FINALLY people actually make this legendary song look great!
Someone should start an exercise program that you show up an just take turns,and dance just like this,and play this old school music. Soul train line was the best.
I must admit, that I am a fashion designer and watch soul train re-runs for inspiration. These people knew how to dress to impress!
do you see people dancing or do you see souls in bodies showing their rhythm of life to the world, the energies Christ came to teach with, in the love of his cosmic father, the consciousness of the universe we know as God, inspiration for your creative work then, liked your comment.
daisy espinosa I'm watching for fashion inspiration too!!
One of you must to do a fashion show at the pure soul style.
I agree with you ;) !
Watching for inspiration as well. I like some of the men's styles and love the dresses/skirts that the ladies wear on the show.
To all the black men on Soul Train in the 70’s. Thank you for showing me 1,000’s of dance moves. Because of you I was voted best male dancer in high school in 1983.

Aw that's awesome!
No. Beggers
pants here very Gen guys
This is great. This is what young people today need to be doing. It's wholesome and it keeps them busy.
I was about to say the same thing
Three words that are banished today : Elegance, Innocence, and FUN
The class, the elegance, the natural beauty all just isn't irrelevant today
100% AGREED!!!!
Maxine S Back then this was seen as degenerate
@@karlacorona2186 No it wasn't !! Everyone danced disco back then!!
Where you from?? Disco was all the rage in the 70's! Even my mom and grandma liked disco. Especially the Bee Gees.
@@karlacorona2186
Absolutely not true. This was a show on main stream tv and was NOT "seen as degenerate". What're you talking about?
Disco music will echo for eternity!!!
I was born in 92' but I feel like I had lived this era.
Someone else?
Soul is soul..period.
If I ever gained access to a time machine, this would be my first stop
AND NOT IS SO FAR!
This looks like the most fun thing ever
Kyaan it was
It was indeed!
It was lol
It really was a good time ever had.
IT IS!!!!!
The couple dancing at 0:45 is probably the best thing I've ever seen in my life.
It was all the rage... Saturday night fever started it all...
The Hustle...
That's how people dance in Brazil's northeast
Stepping/Swinging in the name of love! It’s everything!!!!
My thoughts,EXACTLY!They were so classy...
Those Soul Train couples could take the dance floor!! I was watching this show in my 20s, back in the 60s!!❤🎉
How old are you now ma'am. I wasn't even born and my parents were teenagers were teenagers in the 60s Africa
I'm 25 yrs old and I swear this is how I dance when soul music comes on wherever I may be..
Gurl! Yu Right-On !
Everyone is so FIT. We need to get back to this!
The food wasn't so processed back then like it is today
@@BigNazty8732 don't forget the cocaine
Just stop eating junk food
True...

I was so fortunate to have grown up with this. We will never have this again.
they need to bring this show back. it looks so fun and awesome. I love the music they play I love to dance to it. we need a return am i rite
ikr
Brady Thomas unfortunately, noone dances like this anymore. doubt anyone would.
Synthpon80s 198X when my mates and I go out, we bust these moves out from time to time. Great fun is had when you just don't give a fuck and move the way you feel
Prof. Potato
that's right. those were the good times.
Tbh it wouldn't even be the same if we were to bring it back. Everyone's to worried about self image and being on their phones...
Soullllllll trainnnnnnnnn the Best program on Saturday mornings in the 1970's, dancing & the best groups of yester year on that show it was the best of that Era.
That was the Golden Age! Nothing will ever touch those heights again.
Those were some good times, I sure miss those days.
the essence of joy - what beautiful days those were!
The couple at 1.16 - 1.25 -
TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL!!!
She makes it look so easy. I wish their grandchildren could see them in this video.
blows American Bandstand outta the water, when I was growing up watched this to learn how to dance
I think the American bandstand dancers need to come to soul train
Everyone in those days...could'nt wait to get dressed up and hit the clubs...and no f#@÷king cell phones!
It was so clean and elegant...thank you God for letting me have been a part of that...Peace to ALL...
raphael Peace to you as well my friend.
Amen dressing up for clubs no cellphones lol
Right there with you, good times. ❤❤ Love being a teenager in the 70's . To bad we can't go back. So many good memories. But we still can remember because of the music from the 1970's.
On the east coast it came on Saturday's at 5 I think .....so much fun just watching it ....
70s music always makes me feel good😊
I really can't tell what it is, but something just feels so beautiful about these soul train videos.
I agree. The magic never goes away. Can't explain it
So many beautiful, healthy and happy looking people.
Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe?????
I watched it live every Friday night until Don Cornelius stop hosting. It was the party before the party! Such great memories!!!!!
Sho you right. I didn't want to go to the delivery room with Christina because Soul Train was about to come on. If asked if I could wait till out was off...lol!
I'm seeing your post for the first time...you really have a good memory!
That was memorable! How have you been?
Everything is good...How are you and Mr. Williams?
Doing well, taking one day at a time.
WHY Don't People have Fun Like THIS Anymore?
Inflation!!!!😂😂😂 if you only knew how cheap life was then
@@lgee9027 do your research. Inflation was worse back then. People today have just come to expect everything is a necessity. Going out for a Big Mac was a good date 😅

Those back days it was beautiful and happiness 🎉😁😁😁😁😁
Wow the fashion and the moves, they had it all. Classy and funky!
They didn’t waste time to the gym back then, they just danced their heart off
All the moves so beautiful and original. Compare with today --violent, snappy, militant.
Violent, snappy, militant, and pornographic.

I saw them in 1976, the first concert I'd been to. It was life changing.
These videos are teaching me how to dance
Wholesome fun.
1:17 - she is such a mood. Lovin it!
Ikr! She's my favorite on this video also.
My favorite as well! A whole vibe
The couple at 1:51 came PREPARED
I was NOT ready for those two 🤩
My favorite band ❤️ so soulful and spiritual music. The best horns too
1.34..that guy's moves are freakin' smooth!! Dude is as cool as ice....
I hope the people in this video could watch it and remember their good ol’ days. Can’t imagine the joy that would bring
Everyone should get a chance to go through the soul train line at least once in their life.
If soul train was still on it would be on my bucket list fo sho!!!
wish i was around at this time to tear it up. i feel so happy watching them dance
i’m 17 and all i wish for is to find a time a machine so i can travel back to these times and know what it feels to have this much fun, no phones, just you and real people living and vibing in the moment. one concert is all i ask for guys 😔🥺.

I wish Soul Train had continued having the men and women dance down the line side by side
I was saying the same thing
I remember sewing some of these dresses. I probably still have the patterns somewhere. Cheesecloth, seersucker, chiffon, memories. Now I'm just sewing face masks while binge-watching these clips.
I remember sewing a resplendent dusty pumpkin colored pair of extreme wide-legged trousers in jr. high sewing class. They were fantastic!
I'm pushing 60 now and still want to shake my thang.
LOL
Go for it..I'm 55 and still dancing..
Great, just lovin' the music.Not a phone in sight.
Nope
I loved Soul Train! The music and dancers were fabulous!!

Disco was the best on Soul Train!
70's soul train is awesome
This must have a come back! this is a Discotheque / Disco!
These kids are so wholesome and cute. Half of the couples remind me of my friends’ parents and church members growing up.
'Wholesome' an old-fashioned word. Please bring it back!
Da Soul Train was a must watch if you needed to know how to dress and about the disco moves back then :-)
Just love watching the dancing
I love this song. Written by Al McKay, Maurice White and the fabulous Allee Willis. 1978
Earth, Wind and Fire 🔥 in the House! They are gonna set Columbia, SC on fire soon! Time to boogie down! I wanna hear them so much Live! Dancin in September!!!💃🕺
I use to love soul train on Saturdays
They need to bring Soul Train back and keep the same music. It worked for Glee. Everybody would love it.
Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe?????
I so loved the class higher proving us all wrong, Brilliant and classy culture!
1974 San Diego Sports Arena front row center ......those guys were working so hard they were sweating on us. !!!!
