I’ll tell you one thing you’ll never find Vivica without and that’s a J.O.B. 💁🏾‍♀️

I didn't know she was on Soul Train....wow

Give it up for Don Cornileus for building that platform though

Don Cornelius a man ahead of his time. Rest In Peace.

That was a fun fact! Vivica A. Fox still looks good and has a nice resume. Homegirl keeps a gig.

Vivica should get the "I'm still in the game working" award for her longetivity.

I love a good black history lesson ❤️❤️

Seems like such a fun and innocent time. Times have changed. I remember Vivica on a show with Patti LaBelle and Morris Chestnut called Out All Night. That show was good.

Imagine leaving home for college and Bam your mama sees you on Soul Train 😂

V Fox is so cool it’s hard to believe she was a adult in that era.

I love when I find her on Lifetime movies. She is a good actress and has a great sense of humor.

She was also a background actor in Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 short film. She has a feature in that. 😌❤️ it!

Whoa. I never knew Vivica danced on Soul Train.

She was, is and will always be a very gorgeous woman ❤️

Vivica was a natural beauty!

She did hustle her way up to starring in A-list Hollywood films. Gotta respect that.

You learn something new everyday.

Glad she did this segment because I didn’t know it. More proof that overnight success tends to happen over time.

This is so beautiful. Her words makes me miss 106 & Park. I would love to see a music show this influential again.

This Chile has done EVERYTHING! Who knew she was on Soul Train too?

I LOVE Vivica Fox! I really enjoyed hearing her Soul Train story!

Vivica was fine as hell back in the day! 😍

Man i remember watching soul train on Saturday's . Some good times

That’s so sweet how her brother reacted while watching from Germany 🥰 Being on Soul Train made everyone feel like a celebrity I’m sure lol. Thanks for sharing 💜

When graduated in 1984 i told my cousins and friends i was moving to California to dance on soul train cause i already had a Aunt that moved to LA in 1980. But i never left Michigan, but i know a soul train dancer from Detroit i saw him in 2010 his named Lorenzo he was on soul train 1987-1990 he was a good dancer and always throw his leg behind his head. He also appeared on star search in 1986 and one of Janet Jackson videos.

Way To Go Vivica A Fox!! And you’re right Vivica, loads of people were discovered on soul train! Like soap opera stars - Great Britain’s own Darnell Williams - who became Jesse Hubbard on ABC’s All My Children !!

How can anyone not LOVE Vivica Fox? That woman is something spectacular. 💗

I love vivica fox! she’s such sweet and talented person! And I love her work

I actually like her gray dress.

Damn, Vivica!!!! That's a great place to start your career.

I recently watched “Set it Off” and Viv was so intense in that role. So much sex appeal. I’m impressed with her career and knowing she had the sense to branch out and not wait on mainstream Hollywood to put her on. I’ve heard she’s a really sweet lady I wish her the best.

I didn’t know she was even around in the 80s yet she look so youthful ! She’s such a beautiful woman ! Looking at our history really makes me so proud to be black and I know that we r fighting til the end to show how much our lives matter

Wow!!!! I didn't know she danced on Sooooooooooul Train!!!!! Lol 🙌🏽❤❤❤

Yes Soul Train was the stuff back then, alot of us could not go outside on Saturdays until we watched Soul Train. We learned our dances from Soul Train and we got to hear out popular songs too !!! I loved all the Soul Train dancers!!!

Vivica is an good example of holding it in the road and making it. Fabulous.💛

OMYGOD I never realized that was Vivica!! Kids back then had Saturday cartoons, we grown folks had SOUL TRAIN!! In Don's voice Peace, love and SOUL!!💖💖💖🥰🙏🏼

I was a soul train dancer in the 1990s why is no one contacting me?? I contributed to the show whether you like it or not! I was featured with Mr. Don Cornelius twice on the Scrabble Board and I got the privilidge to be apart of the Soul Train line plus was always featured on small clips here and there!!!

Gotta love the 80’s. Those moves were so smooth

I remember when Soul Train first started in Chicago and before Don Cornelius took over, the host was Clint Gent then after Don took over he moved the show to California.

Bihhhh, Vivica been in the business a long time. A true hustler , gotta respect her hustle. Sis started her dream at 18/19, is mid 50’s and still in the media(sometimes bad) but still on the scene. Getting that lifetime movie money now 😂

She was a pretty young woman back then. Wow!

I've noticed that these celebrities already have connections in/to the industry before they become famous..

Vivica on soul train 😮. She just earned 10 more cool points 😊.

I never knew she was the star on soul train? Go, ahead, vivica!!! It’s was soo cute.❤️

And she never looked back!!!!!

Vivica has truly lived. Now that was the iconic show. I had no idea. Wow! I really wonder how being in the presence of Don Cornelius really was. He seems like he really could take over a room.

I hate she fell victim to the plastic surgery and cosmetic lifestyle ... shes pretty but i hate she changed herself ... old Viv was beautiful

I love Vivica, she's so talented and beautiful. Good for her that she was a Soul Train dancer, part of history.

Gorgeous. Wish she didn't do plastic surgery.

Soul Train made me realize how time flies so fast I remember watching the show but with shemar Moore.

The Original Black Barbie- MS. Vivica A. Fox!!! She is representing BW so lovely!! God Bless her!

Didn't know Vivica was on Soul Train. I like her. She comes across as being a really genuine person. I watch her on that new game show and she is really funny.

This woman live one whole live...and she still living 😍

Wow!!!What a cool story Vivica Fox👍 Especially the one where her brother was witn his military boys,"There goes my baby sister on Soul Train" then he had her write him a letter saying it was her on Soul Train...Haha😀 Classic cool story,I love it♥️

Wow, Vivica has lived many lives. & it looks GOOD on her. ❤️

That's so good to know that Vivian Fox was on Soul Train. Black History. LOVE Her!😁👍⚘

I sure would have liked to be a young adult in the 80s instead of a baby! I sooooo jealous of Generation Xers and hell Baby Boomers too! They had the best times and were so Original and Unique!

Love Vivica!!! Who knew? Wow👑✨🌷

Soul Train was off The Chain!

Soul Train was the absolute highlight of my Saturdays ! Loved it ! I had no idea Vivica Fox was a dancer ! I know that had to be so much fun !

She was absolutely stunning in some of those shots.

Now that is a nugget I won't soon forget Vivica A. Fox being a Soul Train Dancer. Appreciate that she also shared other information about her journey.

Damn vivica is the truth 👌what a honor and a privilege to say I was once a soul train dancer

Vivica was sooooooooo fine.. wish she never did plastic surgery and just aged gracefully.

Go ahead Vivica! Viv has done everything!!! Go ahead girl with yo bad self!

She's a beast at getting those roles AND HUSTLING JOBS AND SHE STILL WORKING HARD

Those were the good ole days! Waking up on Saturday and watching cartoons. Then 11am came SOOOOUL TRAIN!!!😎😎👏👏I was born in 1982 so I didn't get to see her on the show.

She looks as beautiful now as back in the day!

Wow that's cool she was a soul train dancer.

Can I just say I LOVE THE SOULTRAIN series!! Keep it comin’!

Good for her for being in the biz that long! The soul train dancers look great now.

Never knew that Viv was an ST Dancer!! Probably when the show stopped airing in my hometown is when she started.

This made me smile💞

I am so proud of you Vivica. Los Angeles was so much fun around '82-83.

My favorite Vivica Fox scene is when her character and Jamie Fox character “Bunz” was arguing in chinese in a restaurant in the movie “Booty Call”

She Was So Cute, Definitely a Fox.

I love, love, love these Soul Train stories.

Never knew she was a Soul Train dancer!!😚😚😃 Yesss Auntie Viv still lookin good. Vivica always had that look dawling. So effortlessly beautiful 😍😍 & a wonderful career

Yes, everybody wanted a shot on Soul Train. I can watch an episode and have instant nostalgia.

Today kids will never know about Saturday's @12pm

Thoroughly enjoyed this

Vivica Fox was a Very young adult- still in her teens when she was on SoulTrain. She was like 18 or 19. I also remember seeing her briefly on "Another World" soap opera around this time (I guess between 82'-84').

Didn't have a clue she was on there!! I love the internet it brings light to my life!!!!

Don't know why but I enjoyed this.

Love it!!! That was such a good video!

Wow! Vivica thank you for sharing this bit of history. I use to look forward to watching Soul Train when I was a kid. Sometimes I still watch the re-run for some ole school R&B.

"The good old days on ah Saturday morning"💃🕺

I loved soul train from way back

Wow she’s amazing & this is a great story!! I remember when Soul Train aired on TV in 1971 I had just had my son that year. Thank You Beautiful Vivica A Fox 💕 & RIP Don Cornelius, you are missed.🌈🙏🏼✨The best soul train theme was by MFSB Tsop ( The three degrees) YES!!!🎺🎻🎸🎤💃🏼🕺🏼📺🎵👏🏼👏🏼🥰

I use to watch Soul Train every Saturday 11a.I remember seeing her on there.She was just dancer back then.Years later she became a huge Star⭐
