I had a long bead fringe curtain in my doorway, incense burning that gagged my parents, wore headbands around my forehead and fringed vests…. ✌🏼❤️ peace and love were existent. Not extinct.
Oh, the memories! I was in junior high school when Soul Train came on television every Saturday. Everyone I knew watched it, and we tried our best to do those dances. And of course, we couldn't move the same way the Soul Train dancers did, but we did the easier moves. And the Soul Train Saturdays continued throughout high school, and my first two years of college. I'm so glad RU-vid has these videos!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
This makes me so happy 😁 such great memories of this era!! And hands down, the absolute BEST afros. 😁💯 The platforms and bell bottoms and bling… everyone free to be themselves and love each other’s differences. WTF happened to us 😢😢
I LOVE SOUL TRAIN IT WAS THE JAM . EVERY SATURDAY I COULD NOT WAIT FOR IT TO COME ON . EVERYONE COULD DANCE THEIR ASSES OFF . THE 🎶 MUSIC WAS GREAT 70S THE FASHION AFROS . LORD HAVE MERCY IT WAS THE BEST TIME. EVERYONE LOOKED SO HAPPY 😊 AND NATURAL . WE ARE SO BEAUTIFUL BLACK PEOPLE AMEN AMEN HALLELUJAH 🙌 THANK YOU JESUS.
In California we called them naturals. You had a big natural, not a afro. Other parts of the county used the term afro. When I first heard it I was... What is that? Lol! Peace unto you from one of your old school elders.
God, THESE WERE THE DAYS!! People dressed up and it was awesome, dancing was REALLY dancing, the music and singing was phenomenal and no auto tune bullsh*t, no overload of technology but face to face socializing and people knew how to talk to other people, manners actually counted, no growth hormones in the food (look how trim everyone used to be! Thankfully, I still am), people gave a damn about the planet, other people, what was happening in our country and our world and what was happening to those less fortunate, AND PEOPLE HAD SOUL ❤️I swear, sometimes it’s like humanity’s very soul has been amputated in these days we live in now 😢
I agree, but I also remember back in the 70s when my mother coming into the living room while my sister, brother, and I were watching Soul Train, and she said, “Decent young ladies shouldn’t be wearing clothes like that! I betta not EVAH catch my daughters showin’ off their bodies in public!” She was referring to the halter tops and hot pants some of Soul Train ladies were wearing. Well, my sister and I did buy halter tops, but we didn’t want to press our luck with the hot pants! Mom was relentless with her Florida based beliefs about how her daughters should dress whenever we went outside our house.
Seeing black joy in this way kinda feels like seeing my nephew after he was born. You wanna think you've seen something more beautiful, or that you will see something as beautiful again. When the reality is some thing else. You'll see it a thousand times in your mind and always remember it like the first time in your heart. As troubling as 2016-2021 has been, we have to keep on showing that joy. We have to keep on dancing 😌
I was 11 or 12 when this song came out, loved it and watched Soul Train on Saturdays to see the dancers. Now I noticed that everyone was so slim, not one overweight person.
Soul Train is weirdly modern, for something made on the 70s, so much that watching it, with the fake cibernetics and the weird use of ties and clothes I could very much believe to be set in a distopic future, 100 years ahead of us.
Soul train was by favorite show.. on a Saturday with Don Cornelius awesome dancers.. better than bandstand.. this white guy love the show.. and the artists on it.. great memories
Black and white watched Soul Train, it came on right after Bandstand on Saturday morning. We just liked good music then and we all got along fine. I’m 64 now and I wonder what happened, why is it going backwards? We all know the answer.
I love this song.Probably have not heard this since this.How lucky were we anyways.American Band Stand ,Soul Train,Midnight Special,Don Kirshner"s.Good Times,Good Music.

Daaaamn! look at the height on those platforms at :37. They danced, twirled, stomped, swished, swayed and sashayed across the floor. Fashion rules be damned! More steve3, grazi!
