HOW DARE YOU BRING IN FALSE LIES SO THAT YOU AND YOUR KIND CAN FIT IN FALSELY. WHEN SOUL TRAIN FRIST AIR, PRIDE AND AND TOTAL CONFIDENCE SET IN ON THE CONSCIENCES OF MY PEOPLE.

Even in to the 90s Michael Jackson said "I don't want to live my life being a color" In the 70s KC could be "black"...Charley Pride could be "white".....and we laughed at ourselves for limiting people because of their skin.

    I'm a middle aged white guy and this show taught me how to strut my thang. Already being a fan of soul and funk music, I loved the line up and watched all the dancers in awe as a kid and copied them all the time. And boy, did it pay off in the clubs when I was old enough to go. Bless you Soul Train

    If the soul train line proves one thing it is that rhythm doesn't cost a thing and feels so good. Shout out to Don Cornelius for his creation. He is a true legend.

    The fashion was so camp and over-the-top it was almost like they were wearing costumes that they wouldn't normally wear outside the studio in public. But they did. All those wild, loud outfits could be seen on the street any day of the week.
