    You can really see the Nicholas Brothers influence in his dancing, especially at the end of the interview when he does an upper body 360 degree turn.

    These stories are the best! The late 80's and 90's. The clothes and dance in this video is so late 80's and early 90's! Dancing was aerobic as hell back then. You had to mooove everything. Hats off to Oak Tree for providing color block dress shirts and baggy pants with tapered legs.

    I like that he said specifically that Soul Train was on Saturday morning and you had to get the house work done by 11am. That was life, whenever I mention this reality to my "other friends" they are in disbelief that, yes, we were getting our groove on, on Saturday morning.

There was another Dancer she was on Soul Train, during the earlier 1970s. She wore a lot of High Fashion Runway Attire. She was inside the Right On Magazine, along with other Soul Train Dancers. During the 1970s the Dancers were showing Prom Clothing inside of the Magazine. She was very Elegant. She and Mr. Marco were similar in their High Fashion Runway Wardrobe Style.
