Herb Kent, The Cool Gent will be missed. What an era!

[@chicagoblackmale]

Two voices of Chicago! RIP Herb and Don.

[@luvrumcake]

Don Cornelius did an amazing job in so many areas from poise and self-esteem to empowerment for Black communities worldwide. We thank you. Rest in Peace.

[@baskin150]

It's sad because growin up in CHI TOWN in the 70's was Don on T.V and Herb on the radio...

[@princesslovesthe80s80]

RIP What a Legend a creator he was he gave the peeps something exciting to watch he was into our homes weekly damn I misses this show I'm loyal to a tilt I loved Soul Train

[@thejazzman210]

Damn, Don looked so sad. R.I.P. Don & Herb. You were indeed the greatest at what you did. Godspeed brothers.

[@venusclark3066]

yes Amen

[@carlyn2stars]

‎"Don Cornelius was a pioneer & a trailblazer. He was the first African-American to create, produce, host & more importantly OWN his own show." Soul Train came on the scene in 1971 and was hosted by Mr. Cornelius from that point up until 1993. The show continued to be the “hippest trip in America” exposing new talent and having an impact on youth everywhere. Think about it, where else on TV would you get to see people dance down the “Soul Train line” to the hottest songs of the moment!

[@Harlemwood]

The SOOOOOOUUUUULLLLLL TRAIN, will ride on forever!!! Thank You DON!!!!

[@tedkay3750]

DON THE DEFINITION OF COOL!! BROTHER WAS TOOOOOOOO SMOOTH!!

[@luciac9123]

I didn't realize this so many years ago!Poor Don Cornelius. He must have been declining rapidly because he wasn't the same smooth host we knew. But then again, aging and illness can change a person; as it really takes a toll. I hope he knew he was loved in his last hours. So sad. What a way to finish a legacy. Don was the greatest. He had Soul Train going on!!🙏🙏❤🎵🎵

[@l.jennings130]

Had the pleasure in meeting and conversing w/Herb Kent.

[@tonartification]

He was truly one of a kind!! R.I.P. Brother Don.

[@Faith111213]

This was GREAT!!!! RIP Mr. Don Cornelius You will never be forgotten.

[@lovelysnowangels]

The Sooooul Train! Love Mr. Don Cornelius. Gone but never will you be forgotten, my son is sixteen and I introduced him to soul train. Your memory will always live in my heart and hope that he really understood the impact he had on people.

[@joseperez1085]

Herb Kent the cool gent…

[@employme09]

What happened in the last moments of his life we may never know. What I do know is that Motown was ' The Sound of Young America' ....Don Cornelius presented to America the Soul of Black America. I pray that he is at Peace and I know that he is Loved.

[@GunSlinger221]

Man Don was the man, I wish I could have met him. Great dude for sure, really knew how to make shit happen.

[@carlyn2stars]

RIP! Gone but, never forgotten!~

[@nasaginx]

I danced on The Big Bill Hill show & Don was its Weatherman...the famous commercial was “ you do well to shop at Dell’s”...even then while my fast little self was trying to flirt with Don-he ignored me & was all about the Bizness! RiP

[@tinamartinez7054]

I also danced on The Big Bill Hill show many times. That’s where I first saw Don while passing him in his booth doing the news. I use to wonder if he had gotten the idea for his show from The Big Bill Hill show.

[@selfishone6634]

I remember the Big Bill Hill Show on Friday nights on Ch. 26

[@deborahthomes3383]

Selfish one u are cute

[@Robertg71]

RIP Don Cornelius. Not only a pioneer in the Black community, but his show and voice / image crossed over to the Latino community. I grew up in the 70's hearing that theme every Saturday morning and remember my mom and dad telling me stories about that show before they'd head out to the club on saturday nights. Give the man his props for bringing together various cultures through the power of music, dance and style.

[@enayb]

Watching this made me sad.!!

[@bjkalafatich9718]

So sad! I, like everyone probably remember growing up watching Soul Train on Saturday mornings. That was a great show for me being a little boy back in 1970. Watching this interview is something we needed, but seeing how his mind was slipping a little. Time goes way to fast. RIP brother, I did not know you, but I will see you in Heaven.

[@bryharrell]

RIP Mr. Cornelius, Thank you.

[@TheRenard10]

October 2 1971 marks 50 years since the nationally syndicated Soul Train aired.

[@missearthangel8475]

You two will be missed .Wish I could have meant Don before he transitioned .

[@popzstagedoorpix21]

One of the Great Brother to be in my Life.. Much Love Uncle D

[@TomekaHaywood]

[@cynthiashesobless7155]

Great interviews

[@blessed2do]

Just finished the docuseries about Playboy and it's secrets. If it's true that he abducted 2 bunnies, it just changes everything.

[@rjpcambridge]

alzheimers is sad --- seems like he was fading fast it causes confusion and pain - which the brain tells the body to end with suicide may he rest in peace and may the police do a very serious investigation in the death of this American Legend

[@makavelithedonbattlesofano2239]

He didn’t have Alzheimer’s he had a tumor on his head, he had a surgery in 1982 , he claim himself, he wasn’t the same after that.

[@grandmahands1498]

To legends gone will be missed

[@BrandanTheBroker]

2 of the smoothest to do it

[@cheermagazine]

This video is creepy now... wow, listen to it.... RIP Don

[@unique74muzik]

[@judeena1]

[@leobutlerjr543]

Awesomeness

[@TomekaHaywood]

Wow he looks very very sad when he is not laughing. He is kinda staring into space at times. Poor thing. RIP

[@luvrumcake]

Welcome to old age. You wrote this about 10 years ago...I wonder if you realize the changes in yourself yet.

[@MrSteven2945]

BRING BACK A LOT OF MEMORIES.... ONLY A CHICAGOAN WOULD KNOW THIS ... DID YOU KNOW HE GOT THE NAME FOR SOUL TRAIN FROM RIDEING THE EL IN CHICAGO APPARENTLY THAT WAS THE NICK NAME FOR THE RED LINE AND THE GREEN LINE ....

[@jackbootedthugs924]

Mr. Steven, in those days there was no Red and Green Line (or any color line). There was the A train and the B train (and the Ravenswood train).

[@venusclark3066]

+Jackbooted Thugs wow. lol i forgot about that throw back for real

[@GPROP58]

Most black people don't commit suicide because we know how hard it was to come up the rough side. I just wonder why someone would kill them self after speaking of the whereabouts of another deceased person giving them self no doubt the same fate.

[@donaldjenkins9118]

Don we miss you

[@bingrim]

DON C. was funny asf. rip

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

Gettin’ a little grumpy there...

[@rexxgarvin5313]

Don has a weird vibe about him. He did not seem cool to be around. Pioneer,YES!! But very Scary.............

[@robertnahum5823]

It maybe because he was suffering from Grand Maul Seizures at the time, which eventually led to him killing himself.

[@venusclark3066]

Don had an illness the only thing people heard was he killed himself they didnt know how he was suffering

[@MsLacy707]

Gangstah, Chicago.

[@bobbyhutton3759]

Watching this piss me off. Herb would tell a story it would get denied. Clinton would say something it got played with. Richard tried to make himself valid in the beginning,NO!! If CBS doesn't pick up the pilot there's KNOW!!!7 year contract. James Brown, Aretha, Stevie Wonder, they would not have been there if show wasn't sold. He makes No mention of the Honey Cone who had a hit record {Want Adds} and Eddie Kendricks Keep On Trucking, and me Bobby Hutton. A song Donny Hathaway for me You're my whole reason. I was the only one there in LA, Hollywood and Joe Cobb. We weren't given any credit for our part in the show. Very disappointing. I will not let anyone make light of us the rest of the act on the show. Or our importance. Who knows what sold the whole package to CBS they didn't just buy Gladys they bought everybody including me the lesser known at that time. Don't hate the other acts I'm carrying this on my own shoulders. Let me make this clear I love Gladys Knight. We are not chop liver.

[@Kemet3.0]

Yep, Don was one of the first. But A- hole with demons. I had a feeling something tragic was going happen to him at the end. The guy just wasn’t happy.

[@MrBjorn6]

@@Kemet3.0 But he loved his white men, but couldn't be out with it.

[@michellecrusoe9648]

Two LIBRAS ...TEAM LIBRA all day everyday!!!!

[@jwade94544]

thanks your comment im well aware that don did not make music he was part of music a icon!!!!!!!!!! read between the lines

[@RODOMBROOKS]

I don't think he look sad he was getting old

[@sheiladavis6523]

Linda Hines --- I do believe It all depends on the insurance company & how long the person that committed suicide had the policy & it might take awhile before those that are the beneficiaries receive the money. I know of a case like that after 5 months the Insurance company did pay the beneficiaries - August 21,202O

[@aletheabrooks7384]

yeah, what are they talking about?

[@cheermagazine]

RIP

[@vernessavinson7509]

i love all dustie

[@jwade94544]

i really dont that don took his own life i think it was a cover up this man has made music what it is today and he touch many lives like shabba doo,rose perrez rerun and all of the up comming people in the world. life is so wonderfull and with out people like don it makes people feel why did that happen its a sad day.

[@milesmorris9333]

If you think his suicide was a cover-up, you are sadly mistaken and need to stop reading into conspiracy theories. His health wasn't in very good shape at the time of his death. An autopsy showed that he had been suffering from seizures as a result of an operation he had in 1982. The result of that operation led to him stepping down as the host of Soul Train. And his son Tony said that his father told him, and I quote, "I don't know how much longer I can take this". Now let me ask you, do you have any proof it was a cover-up? If not, then don't say anything else about it.
