These people look great. Healthy, Happy and Feeling the Joy of Just Being ALIVE! Love their clothing. No tats, no body piercings that are visible and no purple, orange or magenta hair.
I'm an old Bee Gees fan and I never understood why that there was a backlash against the brothers though their music was fabulous and even today still sounds great.
I love how they all just went for broke with their dancing. Everyone had something unique and interesting going on. I couldn’t truly appreciate the show when I was a kid, but I love seeing these clips now.
+Jennifer Hernandez...., 70's had some issues like Inflation, Joblessness, Gas Crisis, Racism, etc. But overall...., it was a STONE JAM! Amazingly Creative and Artistic era. Missing it so much now!!!
@Trista Fravel Not true. This is exactly how we dressed back then. Ain't no "costume" about it. I've watched lots of these Soul Train clips and seen jeans, skirts, one-piece jumpsuits, tube tops, floppy hats, platform shoes, and cardigans that I once had in my wardrobe as a teen.
Keep in mind that fashion designers were lining up to dress those kids. Also, those kids were pretty much the same week to week, and yet never got paid. All were aspiring professional dancers.
@@majestysol7100 Yep, nothing wrong with diabetes, nothing wrong with heart disease and strokes, nothing wrong with gout, and nothing wrong with osteoarthritis (unless it stops you from dancing).
The Bee Gees, like many British Invasion groups embraced Afro-American music, & introduced to a wider audience. Like The Beatles, The Bee, Gees had fans in the Black community because of their embrace of R& B music, & their respect & honor for the artists of that genre. The Bee Gees bridged the musical gap between Blacks & Whites. Good music is good music no matter who is doing it. 🎸🎼
Great comment sambradley. When the beatles came off the plane in 1964 into the US a reporter asked what music do you want to go and hear over here and paul mcCartney said muddy waters. The reporter hadnt heard of him. The beatles loved motown and smokey robinson. The beegees loved the mills brothers
I hope y’all will reply to this that black girl with the red shirt and bell bottom jeans is Jody Watley who was then one of the dancers on Soul Train a decade later she’d be a successful singer
My father bought me this 45 when I was in elementary school, I played it so much my mother hid it from me but Dad just went and bought me another one. Still love this song to this day. And I loved me some Barry Gibb!! Good memories! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
OMG I love that story. So many of us had an album a parent hid from us because of overplay. And once we become adults with kids of our own, looking back we don't blame our parents in the least!
I was born in '71, and adopted in '73. I'm now 52. My (adopted) dad - rest his soul - was the only one I trusted and with whom I danced. My (adopted) mom on the other hand was and still is a covert narcisist (now 92 yrs old and dementia... and she now hates me even more ). LOVE your story! Hits home.☺
Way back when🙂☺️😄 3 white Bois from England 🇬🇧 got the funkyness right. Highly approved by🚂🌚😅🌚🤩🌚 😉the soul train dancers !!! They were like DAM THESE WHITE BOYZ HIT THAT HO !!! SPIRIT OF '76 🇺🇸 FOREVER !!! (20th century style)
Ran across a how I became a Soul Train Dancer video with Sharon Hill at 1:00 (in black) here on RU-vid. I remember her from back in the day but didn't know her name. Her story is interesting, she ended up marrying one of the guys from Lakeside band
Yes, that's Jody Watley and the guy dancing next to her in the tan suit is Jeffrey Daniels. They were two of the most popular dancers on the show. They both sang in the group Shalamar before she went solo.
