[@loki6253]

Because ALL creativity has been lost with video games. Just my opinion

[@scabbedwings6548]

@@nyima04011 Disco dying out and punk music (circa 1970s) didn't have anything to do with why there were not these types of shows on past a certain time in the 90s/00s. Both American Bandstand and Soul Train lasted a lot longer than Disco no longer being around as a mainstream genre. American Bandstand ended in 1998 and Soul Train ended in 2006. There were also other shows like AB and ST that aired during the 80s/90s such as Solid Gold, Dance Party USA, Dance Fever, and Club MTV. I would say alternative music may have had and definitely the popularity of the internet more of an affect on the airing of these types of shows. They also cut out a lot of the Saturday morning programs geared towards children and teens during this time, too which is when a lot of these programs aired.

Yes! I love it. I still remember this saurday it depute on Soul Train! These were the coolest, sexiest, most fashionable most fabulous dancers!

As a kid I’d get up on Saturday morning and watch cartoons and watch Soul Train and American Bandstand! Good times! ❤️

Jamel, you should react to "I Feel For You" by Chaka Khan. Songwriting by Prince, rapping by Melle Mel, harmonica by none other than Stevie Wonder! Be sure to use the official music video...the fashions, the dancing...OMG it will blow your mind. Pure 80s. 😃

[@bethshadid2087]

Great song

[@MyFlipperLikesIce]

Ooo yeah some Chaka Khan!

[@loriholloway5866]

chaka khan, chaka khan, chaka khan.... Absolute MUST!!!

[@vonyroces7878]

That is a must!

[@cari8792]

This is pure happiness! Lol!! Thank you for giving me joy this morning!!

Jamel, I never laughed so much!, what a trip, the more you laughed the more I laughed. And this is one of my most favorite songs from back in the day. It brought back memories from just a few years ago, The Dazz Band performed at the Memphis In May Rib Fest and I danced down the line, just like this video, and I was the only white guy there! Man, they cheered me on and we all had a blast, what a good time we had.

Don Cornelius's Soul Train is the best Soul Train. (Sorry, Shemar Moore fans.) Remember that other show, "Solid Gold" ? hmm.. Jamel, you should react to the Solid Gold Dancers.

THE BEST DAMN THING I HAVE EVER SEEN ON THE SMALL SCREEN!!!

[@danij1586]

my husband's been using that damn "that's what she said" joke for years. when you said it, i turned around and I swear he pointed at the screen from a dead sleep and did the duck face.

Mom and I always watched Soul Train...and what was so good about it was that my mom was deaf and loved watching all the kids dancing. Loved those times with my mom....thanks for this!!!!
