I didn't miss it, but I don't mind a few reruns every now and then.
Thank you!
@@YACKYSNACKY Wow!!!
@@YACKYSNACKY They call Me Jacky Snacky!!! Hee hee!
@@antJaxStar 💦💙💦So fun!
I didn't know she was on Soul Train....wow
Me too i dont knw
Right Me Neither
I agree i didn't know
I actually recall seeing the episode on (Bounce TV) where she did the Scramble board.
Me either and i been watching since 83
Give it up for Don Cornileus for building that platform though
👍🏾
It was the Facebook and Instagram of that time I tell you!
More like...Don Corn-Hole-Us. Don was out for Don...first and foremost. A very calculating Corn-Holer. Shabadoo wanted $$$. He brought interest into Soul Train. Don kicked him of the show. Stone Cold Corn Hole.
Yessir....And R.I.P. to Big Unc Don 💖💖
I’ll tell you one thing you’ll never find Vivica without and that’s a J.O.B. 💁🏾♀️
Okkurrr...sis stays gettin' a coin.
Except on Set It Off 😂
@@MedyLema LOL
Medy Lema she was innocent! 😂😂😂
Damn right. This woman is a straight hustler. She's always making her coins. You can't say that she isn't hard working because she most definitely is. I admire and respect her hustle and look up to her.
Don Cornelius a man ahead of his time. Rest In Peace.
💯
Ahead of what time? This was of the times. There was American Bandstand and Soul Train. That's what was going on back then unlike today.
Vivica should get the "I'm still in the game working" award for her longetivity.
That would have to go to Thelma Hopkins
jarocla66 that should go Cicely Tyson tbh
@@johnniejames4888 I can see that
👍👍👍👍
@@johnniejames4888 absolutely
I love a good black history lesson ❤️❤️
Vivica fox, Ela é Lindisima !
That was a fun fact! Vivica A. Fox still looks good and has a nice resume. Homegirl keeps a gig.
Cosmo Energy Yeah she stays working & hustling. Gotta pay the bills somehow. #Respect #GoodDay
I have always loved Vivca!! They didn’t get paid on soul train but the exposure was worth it.
She bleaching...
@@dugebuwembo Right the thumbnail. 🤢
Huh???? Her face is hella tight she can barely move her mouth and smile
Seems like such a fun and innocent time. Times have changed. I remember Vivica on a show with Patti LaBelle and Morris Chestnut called Out All Night. That show was good.
Yes I remember to😊
I used to watch it 💕
Imagine leaving home for college and Bam your mama sees you on Soul Train 😂
😂😂😂😂💀
😭 woulda seen my mama on that set 😭 so this is college huh🤣
😂😂😂😂
@@jodiiperez9591 🤣🤣🤣😭
@@jodiiperez9591 😂pullin up on you like spongebob did when patrick went to "work"
I love when I find her on Lifetime movies. She is a good actress and has a great sense of humor.
V Fox is so cool it’s hard to believe she was a adult in that era.
Yes she's always together never rattled
38 years ago 😲
Yes. But she was a Very young adult- still in her teens. She was like 18 or 19. I also remember seeing her briefly on "Another World" soap opera around this time (between 82'-84').
Young adult
Ageless
Glad she did this segment because I didn’t know it. More proof that overnight success tends to happen over time.
Whoa. I never knew Vivica danced on Soul Train.
This Chile has done EVERYTHING! Who knew she was on Soul Train too?
She was, is and will always be a very gorgeous woman ❤️
She messed up her face with all that plastic surgery I want time she was very pretty right now she’s just stiff
Fax 📠 💯
@@tinkerbella4605 yea that Booty Call Vivica was a different type of fine
This is so beautiful. Her words makes me miss 106 & Park. I would love to see a music show this influential again.
You learn something new everyday.
u sure do
go read a book
She did hustle her way up to starring in A-list Hollywood films. Gotta respect that.
I LOVE Vivica Fox! I really enjoyed hearing her Soul Train story!
Vivica was a natural beauty!
She was also a background actor in Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 short film. She has a feature in that. 😌❤️ it!
And Janet Jackson "That's The Way Love Goes" with Jennifer Lopez.
She was also in Klymaxx "Meeting in the Ladies Room" video as well.
She was also in Rick James’ Glow video.
Ms BeautyBoss No, she wasn’t. That was Jossie Harris.
@@JVB2389 in what video?
Man i remember watching soul train on Saturday's . Some good times
They need to bring back all old school shows.
Yesss!!!! That and Showtime at the Apollo I would be up all night waiting 4 them both 2 come on GOD I miss them days 😢😥
yes i remember my mother and i used to look at Soul Train back in the day it was fun
Vivica was fine as hell back in the day! 😍
DaBachaleor Still is!! She aged very well. Her, Gabrielle Union, Nia long, Selita Ebanks and a bunch of others still looking good as ever.
@@toreytownsend4705 Angela Basset 😍
ebony jaja Don't even get me started with Ms. Basset, SMH. She is over 50 years of age (I think) and I still blush when I see her. Dang it's getting kinda hot in here, SMH, LOL!!! On that note I gotta go. I am just joking around!!! However, her with other women celebs have aged very well over the years. #GoodDay/Night
@@toreytownsend4705 yes girl! good Aunty Angela is 60/61 I believe! She still STUNNING everytime I see her in the media TV etc I be like damn she look so good!
Jodii Perez You know I am a man right?????
That’s so sweet how her brother reacted while watching from Germany 🥰 Being on Soul Train made everyone feel like a celebrity I’m sure lol. Thanks for sharing 💜
Way To Go Vivica A Fox!! And you’re right Vivica, loads of people were discovered on soul train!
Like soap opera stars - Great Britain’s own Darnell Williams - who became Jesse Hubbard on ABC’s All My Children !!
Andre Johnson I danced on Soul Train here in Chicago. The building was at 141 w Jackson. Channel 26 aired episodes on Saturdays. It's a shame that no episodes were taped.
WAT😲. Dis Not Know that !!!! Hi Jesse (and from Great Britain too) 🤯 ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I love vivica fox! she’s such sweet and talented person! And I love her work
When graduated in 1984 i told my cousins and friends i was moving to California to dance on soul train cause i already had a Aunt that moved to LA in 1980. But i never left Michigan, but i know a soul train dancer from Detroit i saw him in 2010 his named Lorenzo he was on soul train 1987-1990 he was a good dancer and always throw his leg behind his head. He also appeared on star search in 1986 and one of Janet Jackson videos.
Hey.. Was Lorenzo on the scene.
Vivica was in the rhythm nation long film!
Oh yes... Lorenzo. He danced on The Scene in Detroit as well. I think he was even on Dance Fever one time. Oh memories.
@@tisha812 yes I remember that. Detroit at its finest. Lol
I remember he would go down the Soul train line with his leg up
I didn’t know she was even around in the 80s yet she look so youthful ! She’s such a beautiful woman ! Looking at our history really makes me so proud to be black and I know that we r fighting til the end to show how much our lives matter
Vivica is an good example of holding it in the road and making it. Fabulous.💛
💝
Yes Soul Train was the stuff back then, alot of us could not go outside on Saturdays until we watched Soul Train. We learned our dances from Soul Train and we got to hear out popular songs too !!! I loved all the Soul Train dancers!!!
What about Jeffrey Daniels and Jodi Watley my favorites as well
I recently watched “Set it Off” and Viv was so intense in that role. So much sex appeal. I’m impressed with her career and knowing she had the sense to branch out and not wait on mainstream Hollywood to put her on. I’ve heard she’s a really sweet lady I wish her the best.
How can anyone not LOVE Vivica Fox? That woman is something spectacular. 💗
OMYGOD I never realized that was Vivica!! Kids back then had Saturday cartoons, we grown folks had SOUL TRAIN!! In Don's voice Peace, love and SOUL!!💖💖💖🥰🙏🏼
Wow, Vivica has lived many lives. & it looks GOOD on her. ❤️
Damn, Vivica!!!! That's a great place to start your career.
Gotta love the 80’s. Those moves were so smooth
Wow!!!! I didn't know she danced on Sooooooooooul Train!!!!! Lol 🙌🏽❤❤❤
This woman live one whole live...and she still living 😍
I actually like her gray dress.
Me too and the Hairstyles that we used to wear,during the awesome 1970s & 1980s 🙋🏾♀️Thicker,Bouncier and Luscious Hair.
That dress is so cute and so 80's!😄
The 80s were fun.
Grey stockings lol
Clewis Lewis - Yes. She look super hot. and the way it flares out when she spins - the whole visual.
Vivica on soul train 😮. She just earned 10 more cool points 😊.
I love Vivica, she's so talented and beautiful. Good for her that she was a Soul Train dancer, part of history.
I never knew she was the star on soul train? Go, ahead, vivica!!! It’s was soo cute.❤️
Vivica has truly lived. Now that was the iconic show. I had no idea. Wow! I really wonder how being in the presence of Don Cornelius really was. He seems like he really could take over a room.
Bihhhh, Vivica been in the business a long time. A true hustler , gotta respect her hustle. Sis started her dream at 18/19, is mid 50’s and still in the media(sometimes bad) but still on the scene. Getting that lifetime movie money now 😂
I remember when Soul Train first started in Chicago and before Don Cornelius took over, the host was Clint Gent then after Don took over he moved the show to California.
@EnJoy Life And Smile l know, plus it was in black and white l assume that it wasn't in the budget to have it show in color.
Channel 26 at the of the board of trade building
@@jimmiesmith5811 You've got it!!!!👍🏾 Also do you remember another dance show called:
Big Bill Hill?
Clent was substitute for don....don went to cali to set that up..don was always in charge
@@flutoporter6971 I saw Clint first, NEVER heard of Don until Clint were no longer on the show. Now rather Don was in charge or not, l'm saying Clint Gent is who l first saw as the Host on Soul Train in Chi-Town on Channel 26 then Don became the Host after Clint, l heard the reason why Clint wasn't any longer on there but l have forgotten it's been so long.
Soul train one of the best shows ever made!! Epic classic fun great creative talent just amazing
She was a pretty young woman back then. Wow!
Didn't know Vivica was on Soul Train. I like her. She comes across as being a really genuine person. I watch her on that new game show and she is really funny.
I was a soul train dancer in the 1990s why is no one contacting me?? I contributed to the show whether you like it or not! I was featured with Mr. Don Cornelius twice on the Scrabble Board and I got the privilidge to be apart of the Soul Train line plus was always featured on small clips here and there!!!
Aww that's really cool
Soul train live on forever. Happy memories.
Soul Train made me realize how time flies so fast I remember watching the show but with shemar Moore.
I've noticed that these celebrities already have connections in/to the industry before they become famous..
Agents looking for new talent from watching this. See if they got the “look”.
The Original Black Barbie- MS. Vivica A. Fox!!! She is representing BW so lovely!! God Bless her!
Wow what a cool story I was a regular watching soul train and never would have known! I love it!!
Is there anything girl friend hasn't done? She was on the soaps,movies,talk show and now a former Soul Train dancer👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾you go girl 🥰❤️🖤💚🙏🏽❤️🖤💚
When television was great! I miss these days I swear❤️
Love Vivica!!! Who knew? Wow👑✨🌷
i always wanted to be a soul train dancer. but unfortunately mom would not have beeen havin that. so i got to live vicariously through the show every saturday. thank you to everyone who worked on this phenomenal show
She was absolutely stunning in some of those shots.
That's so good to know that Vivian Fox was on Soul Train. Black History. LOVE Her!😁👍⚘
Wow!!!What a cool story Vivica Fox👍 Especially the one where her brother was witn his military boys,"There goes my baby sister on Soul Train" then he had her write him a letter saying it was her on Soul Train...Haha😀 Classic cool story,I love it♥️
♥️
Now that is a nugget I won't soon forget Vivica A. Fox being a Soul Train Dancer. Appreciate that she also shared other information about her journey.
Vivica Fox Was So Pretty!
A Lot Of people had A Crush
On Her!!
Damn vivica is the truth 👌what a honor and a privilege to say I was once a soul train dancer
Soul Train was the absolute highlight of my Saturdays ! Loved it ! I had no idea Vivica Fox was a dancer ! I know that had to be so much fun !
Go ahead Vivica! Viv has done everything!!! Go ahead girl with yo bad self!
Could you guys do one with Jody Watley please?!
Yasss please
@@terrih8276 right
Yes
She's a beast at getting those roles AND HUSTLING JOBS AND SHE STILL WORKING HARD
Can I just say I LOVE THE SOULTRAIN series!! Keep it comin’!
I am so proud of you Vivica. Los Angeles was so much fun around '82-83.
Wow that's cool she was a soul train dancer.
Yes, everybody wanted a shot on Soul Train. I can watch an episode and have instant nostalgia.
I love, love, love these Soul Train stories.
Good for her for being in the biz that long! The soul train dancers look great now.
And she never looked back!!!!!
I sure would have liked to be a young adult in the 80s instead of a baby! I sooooo jealous of Generation Xers and hell Baby Boomers too! They had the best times and were so Original and Unique!
This made me smile💞
Me too ❤.
I loved soul train from way back
Those were the good ole days! Waking up on Saturday and watching cartoons. Then 11am came SOOOOUL TRAIN!!!😎😎👏👏I was born in 1982 so I didn't get to see her on the show.
Gorgeous. Wish she didn't do plastic surgery.
ebony jaja Me too. She was always naturally beautiful and would have aged beautifully.
me too...she never even needed it smh
Right!!!! She is still fine, but man before those surgeries she was GOURGEOUS!!!
I never understood it because she didn't need it , same thing with jada
I didn’t even realize that was her.
She’s done skin bleaching! I was like wowwww she’s high yellow now?
Lmao
Man, self love is so important!
Much respect for her though...she’s paid her dues in the industry!
Didn't have a clue she was on there!! I love the internet it brings light to my life!!!!
Soul Train was off The Chain!
Vivica was sooooooooo fine.. wish she never did plastic surgery and just aged gracefully.
She looks as beautiful now as back in the day!
Cap
Can we get another Soul train!! Miss these days!!
"The good old days on ah Saturday morning"💃🕺
That's an honor being a part of black history!! There was nothing like that show, Everybody loved watching it!! Love
I hate she fell victim to the plastic surgery and cosmetic lifestyle ... shes pretty but i hate she changed herself ... old Viv was beautiful
She grew old. What else was supposed to do
She was hitting the wall though playa
Anthony Hamilton Not do crack
Me too. But some prefer the easy way verses a healthy lifestyle
I like it when black women lift weights and just a bit of cardio. I’m trying to get my lady to chill on so much cardio
I use to watch Soul Train every Saturday 11a.I remember seeing her on there.She was just dancer back then.Years later she became a huge Star⭐
Don't know why but I enjoyed this.
Never knew she was a Soul Train dancer!!😚😚😃 Yesss Auntie Viv still lookin good. Vivica always had that look dawling. So effortlessly beautiful 😍😍 & a wonderful career
We love 💕 Vivica Fox I love how your story went and excelled your expectation...that’s God’s Will y’all ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿 here’s your flowers 🌺 💐 🌸
My favorite Vivica Fox scene is when her character and Jamie Fox character “Bunz” was arguing in chinese in a restaurant in the movie “Booty Call”
Love the story about her brother!
Vivica Fox was a Very young adult- still in her teens when she was on SoulTrain. She was like 18 or 19. I also remember seeing her briefly on "Another World" soap opera around this time (I guess between 82'-84').
If we had one now the dances would be crazy
They all would be twerking that’s it
@@cyyrious That's not true. There's plenty of variety in today's hip-hop/rap dancing.
VIVICA WAS SOOO PRETTY when she was young!!! ❤😊
Wowwwwwwwww
I always saw Rosie Perez, but I never noticed Vivica ; that’s crazy!
