[@wendywendy1810]

This awesome song "Love Train" was created out a love triangle between these 2 band mates of Con Funk Shun. Lyrically, the song is about a love triangle, involving Cooper (on the right in gold on tge Soul Train video of the performance) and Pilate (on the left in white). Both fell in love with the same woman at the same time. Cooper, her man, after calling one night and no answer, he showed up to her place and she wouldn't let him up because his bandmate (Pilate) was already in her bed. "Love's Train" was written about "a love triangle Cooper and Pilate found themselves in, both lovelorn and yearning".[2] The songwriters have acknowledged there was no awkwardness during the writing sessions.[7] One day, a young lady showed up at the studio in San Francisco and Pilate "moved on her quickly".[2] After a month of relationship, she told Cooper that she wanted him, instead of Pilate. At this point, Cooper thought the woman had left Pilate, but she was "juggling" both of them.[2] One night Cooper showed up at her apartment and she was with Pilate. The former told Pilate "[i]f by chance you let me come up, we can talk about this"; these words would become the bridge in "Love's Train".[2] Cooper decided to go home and poured out his sorrow into the lyrics of a song, which started "warm night, can't sleep, too hurt, too weak, gotta call her up". Cooper wrote the song to a music track created by Pilate, but with different lyrics.[2]

[@tiffanyspencer2782]

ConFunkShun's group sings lead by this Michael Cooper on this song. He says he wrote this song bc he & another band mate dated the same lady. That $hit had to be tough..., so he wrote about it.

[@peterhudgens8817]

This is actually based on two group members dealing with the same woman...how wild is that....the lead singer and the guy that made the beat

[@glynismatthews5813]

Sam Cooke and Bobby Womack were on that same ill train. 😂. 60s and 70s were a wild time. Skullduggery.

[@jwall2888]

This is my generation! This is the original Song!!!😊 I’m glad you are feeling it!!!

[@spicyhot2552]

I like this original version of Loves Train by Confukshusn

[@arthurlangford5861]

The song is about people who find themselves in a love triangle and are desperate to be with them when they're with the other person.

[@moniquerandall3853]

ORI-GI-NALLLLL!! I was on the scene!❤️

[@AngieR82]

Yes, he was actually feeling that song andvsinnging from his heart after finding out that he and another band member were dating the same woman. He decided to put his feelings into writing the lyrics to this song, and singing the ish out of it.

[@theresareynolds1084]

No matter how long its been since i last heard it, its like the very first time i heard it. Ouch! Wow!❤

Confunkshun is appearing in Sacramento @ the Crawdad Festival tomorrow! They still sound great, too.

[@QueyCarter-gi7gx]

Gotta feel that vibe... No Lie

[@vanessaseymour2634]

JT, You just played the original version of 'Love's Train' which is currently being covered by Silk Sonic (Anderson Paak and Bruno Mars). Silk Sonic released it on Valentine's Day as a gift to their fans. Maybe you can play their version to point out the differences. The lead singer of Con Funk Shun is Michael Cooper. The song came out in 1982. The group is still performing today. The other song 'Love Train', without the apostrophe is by the O'Jays.

[@SexyShuffla98]

Have you heard the Dru Hill version from the 90s?

[@francisavilez4435]

They messed it up

[@OrondeBranch]

My wife loves the remake….I do NOT 😂

[@alispinner3930]

You are funny 🤣. Reactions genuine. Anywho, that's another old banger. Shalom Sis

[@brianpearis9733]

Watch Unsung, it's about the group members in love with the same woman. It was remade a few times, but not as good as the original

[@ellerootz6702]

Flashback...

[@user-mh6ig7im1f]

They don't make music like this anymore, and it's just sad! The good old days of this country are long gone!

[@joshuamorgan5233]

Both of the lead singers where in love and messing with the same women. And that's what the song is about. Silk sonic version is okay but this is the real.

[@pamelajones-meadows7627]

Chilled with this Jammie and Stilling with the Same Boo.💕

[@jubonju]

The story behind this song is that two of Con Funk Shun's members were seeing the same woman and did not know. This timeless song is the result.

[@benquillajackson9835]

You pick some good music 💯 and the reason he was crying in the song is because him and another band member was messing with the same woman. This wasn’t the original song until Michael cooper rewrote it

[@Vonnies1929]

Right!!!

[@thecosmicmystic]

This has been one of my favorite songs since I was 8. Have so many memories to this...they're talking about real stuff. Yeah he about to cry...he's talking about a real situation.

[@patrickyoung7685]

You need to react to the actual video on soul train. You need to see the actual singers

[@kimmie1402]

I’ve seen them in concert twice 2014, & 2017. They were so dang good. The lead singer was hittin them notes acapella style before they even began the song.

[@brianpearis9733]

Michael Cooper and Felton pallet the two lead singers were in love with the same woman

[@legacyns1]

The original... Slick Sonic did a nice remake tho...

[@mr.ronnie680]

Think that's good, listen to I'm leaving baby by Con Funk Shun
