I liked that he acknowledge he wasn't the best dancer

He was the most memorable dancer on soul train during my childhood. Just suave and cool.

He used to have us cracking up. Our all time favorite dancer on Soul Train. Big Louie

If he wasn't jumping around he was always Pointing!!

He was so popular that they had a guy play him in “The New Edition Story” on BET, in the scene just before New Edition took the stage at Soul Train!

Lou was the coolest cat on Soul Train back in the day.

You know you're old school when you discuss Soul Train. Every Saturday, you didn't miss it.

I remember this guy I always thought he was over the top....but soul train would not be soul train without his presence.

I watched Soul Train during most of my lifetime (born in '71). When Louie Ski came on board the Soul Train, you didn't have to look for him in the crowd. He literally stood out in the crowd😄 with his height and his cool dance style. Cheryl Song was the Female who stood out like "a sore thumb" too. These two dancers are iconic. When you talk about Soul Train, you can't help but mention Louie Ski and Cheryl Song.

My family named him Mr. Cool!😎 He made the show!😍 Imagine the branding he could’ve had. Sunglasses, hats, gloves, socks, coats, shoes & suits! It’s not too late! Blessings to you!

The ladies man of Soul Train

Cutty Mack needs his own documentary!! He is Urban Legend from the 80's, everyone looked for Louie in the crowd!!

I had to look him up because he looked so familiar starring in BET+'s "The Family Business" as Senor Cruz. I'm impressed with his acting!

He WAS Soul Train in the 80s. All the girls would talk about him in my school. We couldn't wait to see what he did every Saturday. 🤣🤣

Ski is also incredibly humble and an OUTSTANDING human being! He attended my mother's funeral and I was incredibly proud to have have him there. Thank you for your friendship and support!

When we "4 By Four" performed there, we were just as excited seeing Lou as they were seeing us back then. We would wake up early just to see Lou and what moves he would do each week for years. I remember when he and his boy first came on the scene and was on the floor, before they worked their way up on the platform stage which was the train. They had to put Lou up there because he was made for the camera. We would tune in to see him as if he was a celebrity performing each week. Especially when he would do those Michael Jackson steps. That's what first caught our attention, because he had them down packed! Lou is just as much a Soul Train legend as any entertainer in my book!

Always looked forward to seeing him on the show! He still looks good!

The brother was definitely doing his thang as well the rest of the dancers respect him and the rest of the Soul Train dancers

Man I miss Soul Train. Those were the good old days

Yea i remember him back in the day. That cain and trench coat became iconic. I even remember when he was in one of BBD videos.

2:53 "Big Louie, don't come on the stage no more with the singers" 😃

Lou Ski and The Cosplay costume guy are two of the hilarious soul train male dancers in the 80s

Louie Ski Carr was one of the most dynamic dancer-performers on Soul Train. He was my all time favorite and he had a way of getting everybody involved in his dance routines. He had style and showmanship! You never knew where he would pop up or what dance routine he was going to do but he never disappointed ever!!

I remember him succinctly. He was not the best dancer, but Don kept him center stage. He was very tall and the ladies liked him. Congratulations brother and continued success in your career.

Lou Ski Carr was born to be a Star he had that Star Quality on Soul Train he stood out his light was always shining bright Keep shining Lou I see you in The Family Business a Boss!!!!! God bless you my brother ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

He is a presence on that show. He was so funny and brought a lot of smiles and laughs to everyone. Thank you Ski!

He was the silliest, smoothest, most outgoing dude on there to me. I lived every week to see him on there showing out😂😂😂😂

Love it! Soul Train was a ritual every Saturday morning at 11am! :-)

Louie Ski! The greatest of all time! Someone should fo sho biopic on the Soul Train Dancers!

You were an integral part of my formative years. You weren't just a dancer on Soul Train; you represented Art. Thank you for your contribution to Black American History💕👏🏽

Most memorable moment was him strutting across the stage with the basketball... COOLEST Soul Train dancer, ever!

He was my absolute favorite!!! Struttin and pointin! 😆🤣 Look at Louie now... STILL such a smooth brotha! 😎❤❤❤❤❤

Yaaasss!! He's STILL fresh and clean...love it!! I used to love to see him onstage...good old days.

Oh Lord!!! Now this was my DUDE right here, fa sho!! He could give off a vibe just by posing. Plus, he'd make The Line such dramatic events. ICON is an understatement.

He was another unforgettable dancer on the show. so smooth!!!!!

Life of a kid from the 80s watching Soul Train. Good old days man.

He was definitely memorable lol. Everytime the camera cut on him you got a soul train mini movie scene clip. He was one cool suave brother

Louie “Blaxican” Ski.

Love me some Louie, and Tom Evans!!! I loved all the dancers, but Louie and Tom just wowed me everytime they would appear . I loved their style, their dress, their artistry. And they were both just handsome men. Soul Train was just a beautiful portrait, that showed the world black talent, black creative, black style, class, elegance, grace, positivity, pride, dance, music, art, history. And there will never be anything like it again. Thank you Don, thank you Soul Train dancers . Soul Train blessed my life!!!!

This man is the best dressed villain I did ever see... that short clip of him dancing with MJ is serious! I love it.

Louie was incredible, gifted with creative energy, and he didn't even have to dance half the time. Just point, or jump from the risers. Electrifying stage presence.

Wow, I remember being call to the tv to see who this character was that was dancing. Cutty was definitely diffrent from the norm. At first, I did like him... bUT the way he act and dance I look for him every time Soul Train came on. I couldn't deny how I pretended not like him,but I did. Salute Cutty,you're definitely part of Soul Train history.

Louie Ski Carr, I was born in 1971! So just like the Avengers or the Justice League characters, Cutty Mack is one of my childhood super heroes! GOD Bless you brother!

That was my dad's favorite on Soul Train. He nick named him "Slim" (some DC shit) "There go my man Slim the playa"! I miss those days as a kid

louie,, louie, louie! yep...the teen girls and ladies had to find louie up on the podium. :) great to know you began acting and did well. you still got it...Gods best1

Now this man I think we all remember from that era. He was ju almost as famous is Don Cornelius himself. It is crazy but when I think about Soul Train I think of Don Cornelius this guy, and the Asian girl first.

A True Legend 🙌🏾❤️, My mom absolutely love Louie Ski. We would watch Soul Train faithfully. She would allow us to stay up to watch him perform. He would always had the best dance routine. With the exception of Mr Don Cornelius, Mr Louie Ski undoubtedly is Mr.Soul Train 💯❤️🔥👏🏾❤️🙌🏾❤️💯❤️

Loved watching Big Louie and his partner-in-crime Tom Evans, Niece Payne, Marco De Santiago, Cheryl Song, etc. 80's music still the best.

Mr. Smooth. He is the most memorable dancer of all, to me. Definitely had his own style. He still looks good, hasn't aged.

Oh my gawd I remember him. He was so fine too! LOL

I remember watching him every Saturday. I thought he was related to the shorter guy with the sunglasses. I found out recently that they weren't. But those were good memories. I'm glad I can watch it all over again on RU-vid.

Damn I miss soul train. That's when music and dancing was life

I used to look for this guy everytime i watched soul train growing up in the 80s. He was always theatrical and funny to me.

“Honey dips” this guy is too fly 🔥

1 of my all time favorite Soul Train dancers. His style, his moves, his energy, his fashion, his charisma are iconic.

What a legend of soul train. Please bring back soul train. This man is an icon

I just lived to see him go down the soul train line with long legs doing his signature dance 💃🏽!!!

He was always the fly guy

The 11 dummies that hit dislike cant have grew up on the show and know how cutty mack lou ski change the game!

I Liked Him So Handsome and He could Dance as far I'm concerned he had his own style that worked for Him😉❤️❤️

He was one smooth dancer I like the way he did it with the ladies, I'm a fan

He was sort of a trademark of the show I would love watching each new routine every week. So entertaining and he always had some humor about himself.

I loved watching him. I’m from Jackson Mississippi and soul train was such a dancing inspiration to watch. He had the best kick and best dress style.

His skits on Soul Train were dope! No doubt!

This dude will ALWAYS be remembered when Soul Train is discussed 👍🏽

Louie Ski! Man...this dude is a LEGEND!!!!

As I recall, he would mostly walk around and pose.

I remember watching soul train in early and last 80s he definitely stood out he's a soul train icon

This guy is one of my favorite dancers. I love his coolness. 👍🏼😊

I remember this guy back in the day in the clubs around the Los Angeles area: Flanigan's, Dillon's, Jackie- O's, Subway, The Red Onion, Long In Search Of, The Greenhouse, Digby's, Carolina West and more.

Great actor, loved your role on The Family Business!

He was the main reason I watched. Loved seeing him clown on the train!

Love Peace and Soul

My favorite ST dancer of all time, because I grew up in the '80s. My eyes were glued to the TV trying to find Louie every Saturday!

I liked how he treated the ladies. He was always letting them shine and pointing at them to give them that spot light.

During High School and later College, my friends and I use to call him, Mr. Soul Train. He wasn’t the best dancer, but he was fly every week. I’d watch Soul Train before going out to my HS dances, for dance moves. 😂

He needs a movie. Cool Daddy Cool what we called him down here in South Carolina 😎

One word, "Humble."

I Love This Man !!! He had his own style of dress and dance..he is"Absolutely Amazing"..I will always remember you Louis💙😍😘

You're are way ahead of your time. Very talented. Still bad 2019

My mom and I used to call him, "Mr Cool". He didn't really dance but he caught your eye every time he was on camera. He has to be the most memorable male regular on the show, in my humble opinion. A true O.G.

Didn’t know he was mixed black/Latino not that it matters. I enjoyed his sense of humor and the crazy skits/acts he did, it took the dancing outside the box and made the show even more entertaining.

I loved Louie and all the soul train dancers back in the day! They don't make them like that anymore!! I hardly ever missed a show

Those were the days, Big Lou always brought the energy and kept in hyped!!!

BY FAR THE COOLEST CAT EVER !!!! CUTTY MADE SOUL TRAIN DURING THIS ERA !! THANK YOU LOUIE FOR BLESSING US WITH A TIME IN HISTORY THAT WAS ABOUT LOVE , FUN AND THE BEST MUSIC HANDS DOWN !!!! go dee daa

My man Big Ski Carr...reprezentin dat "WOOD" 2 da fullest....back in them Roger's park days...

I saw him one time in real life dude was in black Benz with Michael bevins at the great western forum I was 14 at the time

Wow,so many Soul Train Dancers that just stood out from the rest over the years. Mr.Louie Dapper,Handsome and Suave man Ski. He was Fabulous and Eye👀Candy on Soul Train. And he is still Handsome🌹

Oh My....Growing up in the 80's, I had a name for all of the Soul Train Dancers because I never knew there real names LOL!!! Louie was ALWAYS referred to "MR. COOL" in my household- He's nothing but Cool and Amazing....:)

We were clean! Wasn’t none of that tennis shoes and jeans. Honey I look like I was going to a cotillion in pearls and a bustiers! 😂❤️💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

All these dancers look awesome.

Back in the 80's there was dances every Saturday night downtown. Me and my homies would hit the floor and dance like Lou. Man we'd be impressing all the honeys! THANKS LOU!!

I Love Him !!!!!! My Favorite Soul Train Dancer.
