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]

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.
