Patricia "Butterfly" Davis Can Still Do Her Signature Dance Move | I Was A Soul Train Dancer 

I was in Patricia"s graduating class at Crenshaw High School. We just had our 50th class reunion. Pat looks great. So proud of her!

I don’t ever get tired of these stories. so much to learn from our elders!

She’s such a shining star without a shred of arrogance. Such class and humility doesn’t seem to exist or be encouraged among modern entertainers. She deserves all the pedestals 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💐

Her hair needs to be studied on its own! Her style was everything ❤❤❤

Beautiful! At almost 70, STILL a professional dance instructor! I know 50 and 60 year olds that can't move like that!

This was a great recognition of the great Patricia “BUTTERFLY “ Davis. So glad she stayed true to herself. And still able to enjoy and share her talents. GOD bless her.❤️

She's so elegant and talented! I love that she mentions she was a "introverted" personality but became bolder for the camera.

Oh wow! She danced in the best era of Soul Train (in my opinion). She was (is) super beautiful and her style and dancing...love her!!

She was and still so beautiful. God Bless her.

Iconic! Pat always stood out, in a great way. People tried to emulate her, which is an honor. So glad to see where she is and what she is up to. She looks fantastic as well.

Offering this platform for Soul Train Legends to recap is truly beautiful. Hearing about Ms. Davis' travels further puts things in perspective about "branching out". There is more to the World than just here!

She's a gem. And i love the fact that she moved out of America to work as a dance instructor. I hope they do a video on Pam Brown as well.

Bruh, we must protect Patricia “Butterfly” Davis at all costs!

I’m so glad I finally got to see Patricia Davis tell how it was being on Soul Train❤

Patricia Davis was always my #1 favorite dancer. So happy to see her beautiful as ever!

Her dance style was magic. She was definitely born to celebrate movement. Rock any of her moves on any modern dance floor and you will be on fire!

This made me tear up....there is NOTHING this fly going on today!....I absolutely LOVE this!🥰 and her...always watched .....always a favorite!!

I’ve been waiting for this for years. Pat Davis was ahead of her time; Legend!

I love that lady , I was obsessed with her. She was the baddest and most talented dancer in soultrain history.💜💃💃💃

She is STILL incredible!!!

Don Cornelius had to be putting SOMETHING in that chicken! Every single dancer looks so youthful! She is stunning and I love her style on the show! I love this series!

I absolutely love these features. I grew up in the late 70/80’s and the dancers were a huge influence on us kids. Pat always had the prettiest Afro. It’s so cool to see how successful they became after the show. Bravo to Ms Patricia and all of the other dancers. ❤

Wow...I'm glad she received her flowers while she can still smell them ! This was beautiful.

She literally danced during the best times ever with the best music ever!! I love watching videos from Soul Train! That’s where I got most of my music taste

These people were my weekend friends all throughout my childhood.

She looks fantastic!!! Seems like a great spirit and she’s been so blessed. So happy for her.👍🏽

That was a history lesson. Much respect to her. Love her spirit. When you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life.

She is definitely my favorite by far, I love her original and energetic style of dance, with her unique elegance. Perfection.

I’m crying tears of joy right now for her and THANKING GOD for her provision and care. What a story!!!!

I used to ❤ watching Pat! She tied for #1 female dancer, next to Damita. Pat used lots of creative props in her routines. Much Love. RIP Tyrone Proctor.

She’s going strong and beautiful. Great to see her again

She's so beautiful, graceful and timeless!! I can only imagine the stories she has! We need a book if she hasn't done one!

What a beautiful, and classy, lady! A sparkly butterfly who spread her wings, and shares her magic!

Patricia Ann Davis and Damita Jo Freeman definitely my two favorite female dancers on Soul Train... Davis can be seen in the movie Disco 9000 jumping out of the cake. Patricia and Vicki Abercrombie brought their fashion scene to the show....

this was put together sooo good . No narrator - just A Diva Sharing Shine & Heat 🏆💥

I get chills watching this - every Soul Train story is so amazing - I truly feel there is a lot of power behind the scenes making these connections so that something really special happens. I could listen to Miss Patricia tell many more stories!

Jeffrey Daniels Was A Beast Himself..went from a Soul Train Dancer To become Founding Member of one the best vocal groups ever SHALAMAR/ Howard Hewitt/Jody Watley Legendary!

She’s amazing and still beautiful! Those soul trains dancers are truly blessed.

WE RESPECT YOU! A lot of these dances today curated from the dances of the past....and any dancer would know that. Thank you, for being a light in dance.

Finally y'all got the Grand Diva of Soul Train!! She was my all time favorite on the show! She looks amazing and still got the moves. Wishing her all the best!👑🖤✌🏾✊🏾

WOW! I am totally lost for WORDS, this woman is phenomenal 🙏 I used to look at Soul train, so happy she made it to the top! A real Queen ❤️👑

The scream I let out when I saw a new episode with my girl Pat Madame Butterfly Davis. She is still looking good

Pat Davis is one of my favorite Soul Train Dancers. I always looked for her on the show and would focus on her moves, hairstyles and clothing 😍. Beautiful interview and glad to know that she’s dancing 💕

Soul Train & everything else about it will NEVER go out of style! Most of the styles from the 70's are slowly making a comeback! 😁

Bout damn time yall came out with a new episode.......... need more of these legendary dancers getting their flowers & sharing their amazing memories.

Patricia Davis was always my favorite on the show and she still looks wonderful!!

I felt every word she said. She definitely has the gift of expression, a true butterfly 🦋. Thank you for sharing your experience and embody the spirit of dance and community.

I remembered watching Soul Train every Saturday afternoon, couldn't wait for it to come on. Miss Davis still looks the same! Beautiful as ever! I learned how to dance from watching Miss Davis and the Soul Train Dancers..Thank you for these wonderful memories of watching Soul Train. RILove Don Cornelius. Blessings to everyone!

I simply LOVE watching these clips of Soul Train Dancers! As a litter girl I grew up watching this TV show every Saturday morning. Becoming a Soul Trainer was a dream of mine to become, but as I gotten older and eligible to travel to LA, the show was coming to an end. These clips definitely remind me of my childhood and what shape me to this day as a professional performer.

I love how it started at her Aunt’s cafe. I love her humility and how she gives God the glory. What a beautiful and super talented woman!!🦋❤🦋

Such a wonderful story. Soul train changed her life and she’s still at it!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I was smiling the whole time ❤ She dances from her soul and the energy she brings is contagious 🙌🏽♥️

SO glad to see Miss Davis. LOVED her Looks and Dances.😊

Much respect to Patricia and the golden years of Soul Train. This Lady still got at her age! Truly one of the best influential programs I watched on Saturdays.

I love the way our culture was back then. Much respect to Mrs. Davis.✊🏿

Patricia Davis was an AMAZING DANCER!💯📣⭐🎶🔥

Thank you so much for not only archiving the dancers and moments that made "Soul Train" a truly special show in the first place, but for highlighting Ms. Patricia Davis, an extraordinary woman with quite a talent, blessings, and stories to share. She's really inspiring to me. And on top of that, Ms. Davis mentions here that she's worked extensively with celebrities and other dancers in her domestic and international travels, proving further that anyone can broaden their worlds with their passions and skills if they want to. "Soul Train" remains a treasure and it would not have been possible without the vision of the late Don Cornelius. Much respect to all of you.

She still looks FANTASTIC...YOU GO GIRL!!!

I’m so proud of Pat. Pat and I used to walk home after school together (Crenshaw High). In 1973 Pat invited me to come and dance on Soul Train. She was and is an amazing woman and friend. She has a😮held a high place in heart.

There's so much history in our culture that just isn't widely known. Thank you BET for sharing these stories!

Soul Train was FANTASTIC until mid-80s or so.

This was such a great episode! She looks amazing ❤❤

SHE WAS THE BEST!!

She was Awesome 👌 We appreciate You Butterfly Davis 🦋

I never get tired, seeing these stories of the dancers, learning & knowing more about them. This is a part of our culture & history. Glad to have been around even though I was a small kid back then, to witness such great moments that can never be duplicated. Pat was beautiful then & still to this day. What a beautiful spirit she possesses.

Ms.Pat Davis an OG!!Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful ❤️

So many of these legends are still out here doing their thing in one way or another... It's truly dope. 💕

This is an amazing story. I remember seeing you ALL those years, I rarely missed a show. May God continue to bless you Madam Butterfly, your positive energy is uplifting!🙏🏼💙👏🏼❤️🙏🏼

What an amazing journey she had in life. 😊 She still got the moves!

One of the most amazing dancers ever to be on Soul Train. She’s still gorgeous and love her spirit. 😄😄😄

She looks absolutely good because she LEFT LA SHE IS TRULY BLESSED

She is still a marvelous beauty and wonderful personality which is so much more important.

I loved Soul Train as a kid, they looked like me it was so awesome!!!. I loved the 70's best era everrrrr.❤😊

Yyyaaass. She is aging beautiful. Loved her!! She also danced on American Bandstand.

You know when they start off the story with "I don't know if I should tell this", everybody just leans in closer! What an icon!

My all-time favorite Soul Train dancer!! She must be one of the most popular dancers in the history of the show. Ms. Davis is still great!! Kudos to her for her continued success!!

She loved and respected her Mother and Aunt. Her Mother stayed on top of what she was doing rather than just putting her out there at an early age to be used and abused. Thanks to God for giving us good, caring parents and family. She was guidance and a set of good values at an early age. Along with her talent, her background boosted her towards suggest. Glad she was featured in this video. 😊 5 stars for this one!

Beautiful woman and a amazing dancer too 😊

So glad to see soul train and bet give people their flowers...this was great. I love the dancers from soul train what Don created was magical. I love her sharing what type of experiences and all the blessings that came her way ❤

I remember seeing her every Saturday morning. So glad she was blessed to go on to bigger and better things. God bless her.

I so badly wanted to dance on "Soul Train." Thanks for posting this piece.🤩😍🥰

She looks EXACTLY the same ….FABULOUS!

YOU DID IT AGAIN!! This was excellent. I almost felt like I was there. Take a bow and give us more of the Dancer Spotlights! 🙌🏾

She is still beautiful, one of my favorite soul train dancers ❤

Loved watching this. She was one of my all time favorite dancers on Soul Train.

She was always one of my favorite Soul Train dancers. She still looks good and got the moves. I may be young, but I got an old soul!!! I would love to see one on Freddie Maxie, Jimmy Scoo B Doo, Wanda Fuller and Fawn Quinones. RIP to Shabba Doo and Eddie Cole.

Soul Train was one of the best shows on T.V. back then. I love hearing the stories about the dancers and what they're doing now. Good to see Patricia doing well.

These stories are so beautful. I really light up living through their nostalgia. ❤

She was the greatest Soul Train female dancer on that show!!

Yes Ma'am, come on thru Ms. Davis!! I've been watching since I was a toddler, yes a toddler!! I def remember you and if I could have written, I would have! Many blessings to you!😍

I appreciate learning Soul Train dancers influenced and taught major groups like J5 and MJ dance moves. They deserve the credit and recognition for shaping iconic moves like Moonwalk! That part... shouldn't be overlooked. ❤

I remember her well because a lot of young woman loved her dance style!!! 😅😊😂 She was a doll.

Miss Pat is AMAZING!! Thanks for your contribution to that dance world!

Ms Patricia was always my FAVOURITE dancer!!!

I loved her, so happy to see her doing so well.

Just a graceful lady, so impressive…her light is still shining so bright…God continue to Bless Ms Patricia Butterfly Davis

I remember these days very well in the early 70's. Patricia Davis and James Phillips were 2 of my favorite dancers on Soul Train. Patricia has to be about the same age as me, 68 years old. I was born in 1955 and I graduated from High School in 1973. I wore a big Afro, wore bell bottoms, and platform shoes from Flagg Brothers and Tom McCann. 😀 😃 😄 😁 😆 😅 😂 🤣I am glad to know that Patricia Davis is still in the land of the living. I wonder if James Phillips is still alive? Yes, back in the day, we knew the major Soul Train dancers by name.

Pat Davis was one of my favorites when I was a little girl I used to love her fashion so glad to see that she is doing well and looking just Beautiful

Amazing!! Soul Train is what I grew up on, dancing with Patricia and the soul train gang in my living room…. God Blessed her and it is my prayer that she continually be blessed.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️💃🏿💃🏿💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥰

A flash back to my childhood watching Sooooul Train. What a great story
