Beautiful era. I miss it and I wasn’t even born then. It’s just look like they were having the time of their lives. Nowadays you can’t even step outside without some shit happening. Let alone party like these folks.
We were having the time of our life. Coming soon on RU-vid. ''Conversations with Chuck Johnson" featuring the original legendary Soul Train Dancers telling their story. We are still partying today. Love,Peace and Soul. We are back in effect.

That count off. "5, 6, 7, 8...Boom, kak, boom, boom, kak!" 😂 --And my sister had a Barbie that had a dress like 1:43 ..I remember it well because it came with perfume that smelled like hot plastic
I remember this intro scared me a kid at first with the music and the way the sun turns black and blue but no soon that baseline kicked in it was time to jam!
I think Sid McCoy was out sick so they hired a substitute announcer. I also think the video from Dire Straits was for "Money for Nothing." Sheila E. may have performed A Love Bizarre.
0:00 to 0:21 is like you're on ACID, such a cool intro though! That train needs a cholesterol check, thats the funkiest moving but slowest struggling train i've ever seen! lol
Colum Rogers It's actually "Soul Train's a Comin,'" the "Party Down" version by O'Bryan. "Up On Soul Train" performed by The Waters, then The Whispers.

Ya I agree....the dance was a lil much to catch onto...especially for that white dude @ 1:28..LOL! But thanks for these man, I don't get home at 6PM to catch these when it comes on.
😄, even "Big Louie" is/was gettin' his bop on. I don't remember this choreographed intro, but it's all that, and I used to faithfully watch during this period of time. I must've slept in this particular Saturday I guess...
