Earth Wind and Fire Mighty Mighty Funk Funky Dancing

Lively, energetic dancing by the era of young, gifted black people of the 70's.

[@AnitraJ2011]

[@carlwilson1899]

The best music ever-the 70’s

[@carolharris1041]

That first fella-his skyscraper platform shoes 👠 would make Lady Gaga jealous!!😀

[@jerrysites6444]

Yea back in the 60s and 70s we had all the good music 🎶 😂

[@msmicheletorres]

PROUD to say I actually danced on that show baaaak in 1978....first white girl to do so. it was an incredible experience, and i'm so thrilled to have had even a tiny tiny part in such a historic/iconic show. Don Cornelius changed the culture......black youth funked their way right into our living rooms, and we ate it up! Rest In Peace Visionary, Don Cornelius......glad to have met you.

[@Dirty_Squirrell]

Video?

[@billmitch920]

(from Bolivia) thank you. since funk music is a sound for everyone ... i always wondered if there were ever any white dancers.

[@annettesolorzano5386]

One of the best groups EVER,miss you maurice

[@Apollo_Blaze]

They all have the perfect bodies for the awesome styles from back then...do people even dance anymore these days??...We did, and we had Fun.

[@sda1225]

[@sda1225]

HAAAAAA, YESSS-SAH, WOOOOO-WOOOO....WOOOO-WOOOO! :-)

[@snorky500]

I am a white guy, and lovin' it! Let's bring this stuff back and save the world!!!

[@laceandcurls]

Oh how I wish I could go back and be a teen in the 70's again. It was really a simpler time but such a great time.

[@laughingowl28]

This Video shows freedom, i mean real freedom! you know cause to many people in this world are worried about what other people are doing or thinking and trying to point fingers here and there as to why this world is the way it is.. This video serves as a reminder to not get to caught up in the game and to let yourself just be free for a min. cause face it, it feels good to just let yourself move to the music without giving one care as to what someone else thinks.

[@7SKYBALLER]

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ERA LIKE THIS...

[@PamelaDrake215]

What an era! People danced any way they wanted and showed off and everybody dug it!

[@tombeyer375]

Everybody just gettin' down and enjoying themselves 'til they hurt!! Nobody uptight. Would just love to go back to those simpler times! Thankful for the memories!!

[@luizgeraldo3412]

​@@tombeyer375eu não

[@chantellerogers4736]

First EWF single I bought funky song

[@Salinidivine]

Seriously, I really enjoy this stuff. It's much more innocent and lighthearted than today. And YES, everyone was skinnier! Dang, we need to get down like this every night folks, and lose some bigtime pounds!

[@pgdarling301]

The body's just letting the music take over 🙌

[@pathotrix]

Every single person in this video is such a personality. The fashion, the dancing -- unforgettable!!!

[@s629ss]

It was all fun back then. Nobody was worried about fighting. If you go to the club now 9 times out of ten somebody is going to get in a fight.

[@dbohnenberger]

It is no longer possible to be this cool.

[@SunnyIlha]

Yea yu can 😁

[@bboy24seven]

my dude in the purple omg too much funk

[@barbarafogg5100]

The good old days wish l could turn the clock back where everyone just wanted to dance and vibe to the music 🎵🎵🎵 unlike all the crime that's going on in the world today u can't even have fun anymore without all this violence hoping and praying for better days ahead.Barbara Fogg

[@WhiteLineRacer]

I think rap music/culture has made young people more aggressive, just look how much fun everyone is having here, no gangsta attitudes present. Bring back the funk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wendiewhitneydeprisco3663]

ahhh when everyone was young and beautiful!

[@zkkorpio]

An All-American show... still lives on part of history and part of myself very proudly hispanic all the way, but with so much soul as a brother long live in everybody's heart SOUL TRAIN FOREVER!!!!

[@christiangabriel4130]

Growing up in the 70s as a white boy in Germany in a small town. Once a week the local vinyl store might have a new one of black music, I get it me immediately. Every funky echoes from Black America I sucked with all my nerves, in an era without Smartphones and Internet. I am so happy now to watch the original soul train to keep the funk alive in my daytime, thanks, don cornelius!

[@6ftS]

when people still had style and dressed amazingly.

[@susanlightbourn4637]

Coolness overload.. Makes me wish I could dance! Love love love..

[@douglasjones2570]

This is really beautiful. But it was hard work, and the rehearsals were pretty intense. Still, the entire cast was young, beautiful, fit, and really wanted to be there. A few actually went on to make nice careers for themselves in entertainment. Thanks again for posting this! Best. Peace!

[@carlloud8904]

I can't get over how thin everybody was!. Must be from all that dancing! Oh yeah!!!

[@jchisholm1968]

Carl Loud Very few people were fat in the 70's. The Fat generation didn't really start to emerge until the late 80's & 90's.

[@teeh6180]

It wasn't just the dancing. I was a teen of the early 70's and it was rare to see a young person obese or very over weight back then. Unfortunately, the fat trend started in 90's and now obesity in the youth is commonplace. Sad.

[@summersbr1]

@AnitraJ2011, i saw you at 0;37 of the Soul Train Dancers Jungle Boogie clip (1973). You were so tiny and cute. Dancing at that time was more about getting on the floor and having fun, thats it. I feel so fortunate to have grown up during that period of dance and music, great memories

[@hamoravej]

make me a time-machine and i'll stay in the 70's forever.

[@carolharris1041]

That first fella-his platform shoes would make Lady Gaga jealous!😅

[@strawberryseulgi3153]

Proud to be born black

[@wandaclark5020]

We are people of the mighty mighty people of the sun.

[@Aquaria]

:::Sniff::: I miss the 70s. It was a great time to be young!

[@flamencofunk5818]

0:27 Patricia Davis and Gary Keys: one of my all time favorite dancing couple on ST. Nobody could do the "The Robot" like those two.

[@lolitarichardson8500]

Flamenco Funk thank you! I forgot her name!!😃👍🏽

[@judysanders9684]

That's not Gary Keys, that's James Phillips.

[@superjtrdr]

The greatest dance club in the history of the human race.

[@SunnyIlha]

😁💥🙏🏾

[@alisalah4017]

So nice and I m very happy to see all brothers and sisters just dancing and playing with shows love in America in early 70s

[@TinaBLike]

I SO want to go back!

[@gcmacyman]

Man, people were so dang funky !! That's when both music and dancing were as good as you can get.

[@douglasjones2570]

Damita Jo Freeman at 1:42 (in the red blouse and the black overalls): A gorgeous girl who is a magnificent dancer. You can’t beat it!

[@ronl707]

Soul Train! I loved that show!

[@shawnabenoit8477]

Its Funk Friday, and I am dedicating this to the Legendary Maurice White. You will be missed but not forgotten.

[@martinfrye6527]

Can't nobody tell me, that black indenginist, soulful brothers and sisters, don't have rhythm, in our blood. Peace mighty mighty, people of the sun.

[@jjjb9098]

This is such great, great bass playing! Verdine has always been Blessed to play SO in the pocket!

[@Multi1628]

R.I.P. Maurice White - one of the best dance tracks ever released as a single! Iconic group, song, classic/timeless! Thank you for posting this 1974 gem-jam - Cheers, DAVEDJ

[@mrshad544]

I bet there are some grandparents looking at this and going "shit, there I am, son come look!"

[@tervits]

I love those dress very nice for funky dancing.

[@KuttyJoe]

The dancers are so beautiful. They are all original and all impressive. I never realized it when I was a kid watching it.

Holly Crap, that's fun.

[@cowboybear40]

One thing about the '70s,platform shoes, gave you more soul!

[@douglasjones2570]

This is beautiful. Thank you for posting this!

[@coulsongirls]

I am loving the music and the outfits, LOL Ahh, the 70s were fun, thanks for sharing the video

[@purpulhaze]

I wanna go back!

[@frantastika]

That's is a real party! I just love this song and the video is perfect. We need more funk in ours lives and more dance!

[@user-zf6ej7cv3e]

I'm telling you, black people are so up tight because we don't dance anymore. Dancing you to allow us freedom to express ourselves. Dancing is in our DNA and we don't do it anymore, we need to get back to dancing.

[@kim123792]

I love the fact that soul train let the couples come down the together line and throw down and I was 4 yrs old then my mommy and daddy was partying then goodness!

[@MrTonyy1429]

i miss those day everyone was havin a good time an the clothes the best

[@douglasjones2570]

The cape at 1:36 is actually an XL coat. And yes, it is exquisitely and fabulously cool!

[@earth123ism]

the footwear in the 70s was crazy

[@anmana7]

Great dancing! Love this song too. Never hear it anymore.

[@lolitarichardson8500]

They ought to do this part on American Soul!!😃😃

[@krwlngblue]

Oh my damn!!! They was killin' it!! Just too cool, too cool.

[@owiz9212]

Damn, I miss the '70s.

[@abrahamboyd9507]

The style of clothing the dancers had then was classic and the dance moves could never be repeated again.

[@OrdnanceTV]

1:34 couple's my fave, girl looks good and dude brings out the CAPE!

[@roseabbatino1838]

One of the best music of all times

This was back in the day when they actually danced on Soul Train. Later on seemed liked all they were doing were posing or clowning.

[@kmorning49]

The Best Dancers!!!!

[@francesconeri73]

Wooowwwww!!!!these people have the rythm on their veins. Cool dance If I would have been an afroamerican guy I would had enjoyed a lot dancing and dancing , an dancing, and dancing every tracks in some discos around.... jeje ( Sorry for my basic english)

[@laurainwonderland]

Man, i miss soul train!!!! :o Bring it back!

[@Daintytwinkletoes]

I like the glamour boy at 1:02, hehe! Imagine if people dressed like folks in this video now days. They would get made fun of. I think it's great. Men and women wore platforms, and the same hair do's. No booty shakin' or grinding, real dancing, nothing holding them back. Nice.

[@ladyborja]

no sé si tiempos pasados fuerón mejores , pero lo qué es en múisica desde que si lo fuerón ♫♫♫♫

[@user-ry5ib1ds6d]

Боже! Какое легкое и красивое было время и музыка и люди!!!!

[@dakotablue52]

Moon shoes had an advantage during slide steps - you could glide long and stop sudden by throwing your balance forward. Broke my dancing teeth on them.

[@hassan1814]

we were all BLACK back then. no matter the shade. now anyone a slight shade above a brown paper bag wants to claim "other","biracial","multi-racial".....ect anything but the truth - BLACK be proud of it.

[@bettycuba55]

That's music!!!

This is pure EWF Funk. They went in a more commercial direction, for the good, but I missed that nasty.

[@joseluissacristanortego2336]

Gran grupo , musical que alcanzó gran éxito Mundial !!!

[@donwatson9899]

Love it.. lots of dancing action . brings back lots memories.. but the volume is low..

And John Travolta is known as the best dancer in those days. Lol!!

@msmicheletorres ~~Congrats, good for you,that was my show every week, + we also had here in PA, in Philly the Georgie Woods show another great show, but nothing could beat Soul Train {R.I.P. Bother Don}

[@Salinidivine]

I agree with redmarch, the guy with the cape ROCKS! But what's going on with the first dude with super high elevator shoes and short pants? Scary...

[@hitomusic4]

You can feel like you look like all that, like something else, or like anything or whatevah you want - it ain't gonna change that the music is on, you can get right into it's groove and get down on it!

[@AnitraJ2011]

@summersbr1 I also found another clip of me if you'd like to see view the Sout Train Dancers Jungle Boogie (1973) clip. I have on rolled up jeans and red tights. Much to my surprise this clip of me was used in a Halle Berry movie Frankie and Alice.
