This woman has been absolutely gorgeous her entire life ❤
For me as a young man in the 80’s Soul Train was not just a smash hit dance show, it was a cultural lifestyle for me that reflected who we were and proud of it!
Lisa is still looking gorgeous after all of these years, and on top of that, found the time to bless us with 5 gorgeous daughters! 😉Thank you, Mrs. Lisa Mapps-Weldon!
This is her friend Nikki…. Girl we had so much fun in our childhood! ST, Freak Patrol, Rude Girls we were definitely imaginative 🤣😂😆
Lisa Mapps-Weldon wasn’t on the show long but she was a fan favorite, especially with the guys. They always talk about her. She was one of my favorites because her hair was ALWAYS flawless and her clothes were awesome before and after Tamechi began styling her. 🤗💜💫✨
Good times! She's right, they should have something like this again. Glad she's doing well and has a beautiful family.
Won’t be the same these kids don’t dress they sag and they on their phones constantly dancing requires socializing these kids don’t have that
Did you see how fine (and natural) they looked back then?
It won't be the same. Pretty sure they would be expecting to get paid. And they gonna want the best food. Definitely gonna have a lot of controversy around it.
@@shawnjackson6242Exactly It won't be the same.
I agree with Lisa, we do need to bring "Soul Train" back. It was the only thing that not only kept us safe, but it kept us at peace too. Anyone who experienced this show is blessed... it's a piece of history.
Yes and the music today would not help the show if they bought it back the older ones could not relate to the culture these days the music is horrible and so are some of the dancing so no it is history and that is where it should stay."
@@christopherredding5851 It's not that the music is bad and older people can't relate, it's the fact that young folks had their youth stripped from them at a very young age. They never had a chance to be "kids". There's no Saturday Morning Cartoons, no Movie Dates to the Malls, no "Puppy Love". Their trying to be adults before their ready and the majority were raised by the streets cause their parents aren't around, or trying to be like them, or working 3 jobs. If we still had Soul Train, these kids would experience the joys of life like we did. But if society doesn't change for the better, none of us will have those experiences back.
A True Definition of Black doesn't Crack!!! OMG!! ❤
Dance is a excellent form of exercise and brings joy
She’s had an incredible life! I would definitely read her memoir
I'm a pale ass white guy from northern Scandinavia and I absolutely love Soul Train. Been watching it over 20 years, used to find astounding artists from that show. What a time to be alive in the 70s and 80s!
4 sure🎉💃🏽🕺🏽
I like her daughter's recreation of her on soul train ,
she has a beautiful family and she's a pretty lady.
I remember her from The Scene!! My hubby was a camera man on that show at a young age. When I saw her on Soul Train I was so happy for her. Congratulations on all your success!
It no longer surprises me how so many of these former Soul Train dancers have aged so gracefully. My first thought was, "Damn, she look good!"
I agree that if Soul Train were to be rebooted it would keep people safe and healthy. Dancing does a body good!
It's so cool to see these dancers I so remember from Soul Train. I remember Lisa quite well on the show and she did the damn thing. Happy to see she's still living her best life as a wife and mother.
Freaky. From choosing to watch another Soul Train dancer video, I finally found out who made this beat that's been haunting my head for years - Ready for the world, My Girly.
Now my head can rest. 😊
This sista is still fine! frfr Glad to see that she was able to take advantage of the opportunity and exposure. God Bless
Such an awesome story!!! She was and still is beautiful Soul Train was definitely the place to be!!!❤🚊
Yes!!!! Detroit! Also my hometown I remember tge dance show the Scene. Wonderful childhood memories watching Soul Train❤
First I want to congratulate your husband and you for 30 years you have a beautiful family and yes Miss Lisa Welden you are soul train legend 👸🏾🌹🤜🏽🎶🤛🏽
I love love love Soul train while growing up. Lisa, you had and currently have a beautiful life. I really enjoyed your segment.
Look at her DRESS!
It glitters. I loved to watch Soul Train for the fashions, dancing & the music.
Yeah! A Detroit Scene Dancer!!!
A Soul Train dancer Too!
Beautiful figure! And the double-wrap belt, which I used to wear in the '80s! Love the daughter recreating the dance moves.
I like her. I think Charles got a lady here that is intelligent, well rounded and a genuinely decent woman. From what i can gather here.
Spotting Lisa on Soul Train, "Hey, that's The Scene dancer!" The camera loved her. Still beautiful 🎉🎉
I love all the interviews
Please keep them coming 🙏🏽❤️👏🏽🥰
Lol Detroit girls and Sparkle. I was born in 89 and me and my sisters still LOVED that movie growing up.
Beautiful dancer❤and yes we do need soul train back. I miss it😢
She exuded so much happiness when she danced. It's easy to see why she was so popular.
Yes my hometown Detroit produces a lot of talent singers and dancers, she danced on our local dance show The Scene just like Lorenzo and when they made it on Soul Train that was real good, big time. Still looks great today and always a star⭐
Yes Detroit!
#EastsideDetroit
I'm from the eastside too. Hey!@@MsJP
@@victoriaallen3753
Hello East sider🤗
Soul train and American bandstand is how I planed my saterdays. All us girls wanted to know all the latest dance moves.
You meant Saturday but love soul train and American bandstand
Ikr?!?! Mine too! But I tried to dance like the guys because they looked so cool and my mother wasn't allowing that hip wiggling stuff😊😊😊😊😊
@empresserica Ikr, my Mom, did not either till I showed her on the show, then she taught me the twist. lol
@@sonshinethomas7986 😊😂😊
She did a lot and I remember all of those videos, very impressive.
Get it Lisa and Pam (Nikki)! What awesome memories 🤩🤩🤩 and of course, those were the jams! 💯🔥🔥🔥
I love to see these stories about how you’ll lives turned out. I’m a Detroit girl as well eastside of Detroit ❤️ & we didn’t miss Soul Train & we definitely didn’t miss the Scene! Nate Morris! Girl you just brought back memories. I’m 55 now & I still love to dance. 😊
Same here @ the Age of 52😂The Scene, Soul Train & American Bandstand.leave Borroughs had straight 4 the tv
Hell of a life! Gorgeous woman and a part of history 😍💗
I love her 🎉❤.. she is also a sweet person in real life.
I remember her! She had a serious roll! Thank you for posting!!!!
That’s my aunty!!!! ❤️❤️
I agree they need to bring it back but on the east coast, as NJ is really leading in dance culture for this generation.
I was just born when she was on the show, so I don’t remember her! But I’m in awe of her beauty, grace, dance ability, and fashion sense. It’s funny how everything recycles because the way she dressed back then is how I dress now!
I don't remember her dancing on Soul Train, but I do remember her from a few 80s videos. 😊
I definitely remember her from that Klymaxx video in the 80s.
I remember her. But only for 1 year.
Congrats! Lisa we grew up together very enjoyable ur Detroit native Melissa and Christine
I was raised in the Detroit area. I remember 'The Scene' during early 700s, well into the 1980s. Nat Morris hosted that show. If u recall. Nat Morris had Don Cornelius on the show during the early 70s. Detroit has always had talent coming out of the city. And even the women are fine. Shaun Robinson, Motown singers, Loretta Mckee and that very long list goes on. Lisa Mapps fine during her prime. And she's still fine. Almost forgot. There were a few Detroit dancers from 'The Scene' whom danced on 'Soul Train.'
Good segment!! I remember her in some of the videos
I see you “Rude girl” yeeeeah! I was a Rudeboy!!!! Hey I seen Terrell “Deisel” of Poplockin group “Unique Dominoes” I just met Marco recently here in Chicago such a nice guy. Man I seen her in all them videos! Two girls from my school/and Unique Dominoes was Poppin in Party train video!!
The Scene was the good old days I knew ppl that dance on there, I went 2 sch(Burroughs middle sch)with a young lady named Carmen who performed on there & this guy who I went 2 his prom actually worked on there.gosh I miss those days 💜 #memories
Yes sis! It's about time Soul Train did a profile on Lisa. Keep the videos coming S.T.! 🫶🏾🫶🏾
Such a beautiful woman!!!
That’s my auntie !!!!🩷🩷🩷🩷
I was watching old Survivor episodes and saw her daughter Lauren. Not knowing at the time who she was , but they look so much alike. What a coincidence that this video was posted today.
I remember her on all of those videos and movies! 🎉🎉❤
4:04 that spaceship dress was hugging her body omg
Wanted to give this video a THUMBS UP (Like) but noticed it was at 313 Likes, one of Detroit's Area Codes. My Hometown and now I know Lisa Mapps-Weldon shares the same hometown. Used to watch the Scene after school back in the day and Saturday's Soul Train, both great shows! (PS: Still gonna give the Like for the video btw, loved that it was at 313 when I viewed it. 🙂)
Mine too! What part of Detroit are you from? I’m from the west side
@@AnAdorableWombat1
East side 4 me😊
Great piece. They DO need to bring it back.
Very Happy and proud for you!! Thanks for keeping Detroit in you and on fabulous Display Mama!!
U did good congratulations on your success
Completely agree. Bring back Soul Train!
Don't do it you'll get disappointed.
Miss Lisa is right we need to bring it back. Anything that might help this troubled generation.
Having a new soul train will not help.
Lisa still holds up in FINE!
5 daughters...i love it!!!!.....she was and still is beautiful,.....
A beautiful lady and she blessed the world with more beautiful daughters 💖💖💖
Lisa Mapps is an icon! This was a great one. Keep em coming. I wish Nat Morris would show the Scene on his channel instead of boxing and people we don’t recognize.
Love soul train
This was very dope 👏🏾👏🏾
Hi, thank you Soul Train for these interviews, because, I love hearing the dancers' stories: How they began, what inspired them, how much they liked it, Thanks ❤
And STILL putting on! 💛
Beautiful ❤
Yesss,from my city Detroit,the scene ❤,the new dance show yesss
She’s beautiful
Wow! I like Soul Train!
Wow WAS and IS beautiful...good for you ❤❤❤
omg at 4:54 - THE DOUBLE BELT - them shits was all the rage some time in the early 80s OMG!!!!
Love your story ! 💘
Oh Lisa was popping then and she’s still popping now! Now I’m doing the hip roll! 😂😂😍😍😍
Excellent
CONGRATULATIONS CONGRATULATIONS CONGRATULATIONS CONGRATULATIONS QUEEN YOUR PHENOMENAL THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👑👑👑👑🔥🔥🔥🔥🤗🤗🤗🤗
I loved me some Lisa back then. 🥰
Great Video And History
Still Foine 🔥😍
GREAT story 😊
What a Transition 🎉
So cool to learn who the person behind the “Rude Girl” tee and white pants is! Every time I’d see the episode(s) she wore that outfit in, I’d tell myself that I need to find that tee to rock! I recently purchased a Prince Rude Boy pin to fill the void. 😄
❤️🎧
Great dancers and music 🎵🎶😊
Gratitude
Fine ❤
Still such a beautiful lady ❤
Wow I remember her too from back in the day, especially that Ready for the World and Suave' video. I've always wanted to know what she was up to.
Wow 😲 she's had an amazing journey. Great 👍🏾 looks and a little talent could take you far in the 80's
👏👏👏
I know I had that criss cross belt mine was brown and I loved it
Awesome video 📸 you look young still ❤ beautiful ❤️ family 5 girls they're adorable 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Dayum, gives me fever.
WOW interesting Life ✌️
I miss that mid 80s look, seems like some fun times
9:02 She’s most definitely right they need to bring it back to get kids out of the street and give them something fun to do.
Be realistic that's not gonna help them. We are living in the upside down civilization. No tv show is gonna help this generation. You will still have your smash and grabs. You still will have your homeless people.
@@1990758 Different strokes for different folks
She bad now!!!
Ok Lisa was that girl! 👏🏾 Is that Jody Watley at 1:26?
