Performance from Soul Train.

[@coreyoliphant3268]

Man we had some fun grooves in the 80's. Electro Funk is The System...

[@MrQmason]

The System !! One of those VERY underrated bands........ good stuff :)

[@Quietstorm9]

Pure magic. Mic Murphy and David Frank.... AKA The System. Legendary!

[@DuckandDeer]

This might be the best performance I've ever seen on Soul Train, and I've seen hundreds.. ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@lorettabyrd1492]

Love the way Mic Dancing all over the place. Saw him in the village in NYC Back in the 80s He is so damn fine 🙂 😍

[@crystalmason829]

[@michelelaraia7358]

David Frank

[@Quietstorm9]

David Frank... he's a legend

[@chrome.parcans5873]

In love with the System. Serious artists that actually perform their stuff live which didn't always happen on Soul Train.

[@kennyflashphoto]

This Jam has stood the test of time. Awesome energy. Love The System!

[@coreyoliphant3268]

Kenny F yeah man we used to jump on the dance floor to the bridge of this song..good dance music back then.

[@valendanewell5901]

Pleasure Seekers was another song I liked alot, because I watched SOUL TRAIN every week I remember seeing the group everytime they performed on the show. I have been a fan for years.

[@WalterSteward]

The system!! one of the best groups in the 80s that should’ve had more recognition

[@FelixTheCat24x7]

Guitarist Paul Pesco did recordings with them (as well as tour live) but you're right, the actual group members were Mic Murphy and David Frank.

[@adc2327]

Still in love with The System!

[@lorettabyrd1492]

Love the way Mic, skipping, jumping around the Stage. So Damn Fine, even in person.

[@MykeFord950]

I remember first hearing this song playin' in the background on a Miami Vice episode & then went out & bought the cassette the next day ...its a shame because it never got much airplay on soul radio here in Philly which was a travesty...it shoulda been a smash hit Look at how it has the Soul Train gang up & jammin'

[@adc2327]

You see it got play on the West coast.

[@christerry1611]

Season 2 Episode 1 The Prodigal Son

[@jacobgroce8278]

1985 was a good year for music I remember this episode from the time I see this back then like now....I remember "85" very well especially for a 39 year old like now in 2016 long live the "80"s when music was fun to dance and have a good time as of now you don't get it like that no more.

[@pinarellorider9023]

THIS is so Miami Vice and Miami Vice is so THIS!!! I love 80s music.

[@devoebaloyi3497]

1 of my favorite band👏👏👏👌

[@davidbrewer5332]

VERY UNDERRATED EXTREMELY TALENTED MUSICIANS AND SINGERS DANCE FOREVER MUSIC

[@sashamoon1726]

Mic's outfits were great and he looked so sexy in them ❤️ love the energy he emits

[@palexstarks5553]

Wow...those were the days. When I grow up I wanna be Mic Murphy big fan

[@chizmo7]

These guys were ahead of their time. It was just the singer and the keyboard player (white guy), the others are just for performing live. One of the first groups to use analog synthesizers and sequencers. amazing musicians. sure it looks a little goofy now, because it was over 30 years ago. just close your eyes and listen to the music.

[@lotslove2give]

We had a blast dancing.

[@kbdwiz51]

just saw this performance....classic...love the fact that the only synth plugged in is the Emulator II...still a great song!!!

[@zibbybone]

Yeah, that's a LOT of EXPENSIVE gear to haul on stage just to mime a performance. The System ROCKS!

[@obiwan5832]

This song is so freakn awesome!

[@coreyoliphant5869]

great fun dance music back then

[@justgnatjones]

Frigging genius!!

The was aired on November 23, 1985, nearly 3 mos. after I turned 8.

@npgfunk I wonder what kind of shirt of shirt Mic is wearing (I want one of those)? Those shirts were very popular between 1985-89.

[@coreyoliphant3268]

Mic Murphy and Crew bringing the party.

[@tanyamayfield6443]

The jamming out is called the System, Inc. Peace ✌️🕊️...

[@efree345]

Great performance!

[@davidbrewer5332]

THIS SONG WAS PLAYED IN MIAMI VICE SERIES FREAKING BANANAS 🌏👍💪☝️

[@genXer3]

Yep, I believe from season 2, episodes 1 & 2 . "Prodigal Son"

[@MykeFord950]

Yup Thats where i 1st heard it Went out & copped the cassette the next day!

[@christerry1611]

@@genXer3 Great episode. Just watched it today

[@leegenix]

Mic Murphy was even ahead of Michael Jackson with those moves. They used some of the most advanced equipment like the Lynn 9000 drum machine with internal hard drive. These guys rock and should be inducted in the hall of fame for innovators of trend setting music and styles. Oh, how I miss my DX keyboard. I gave it away cause I seriously injured my hand and stopped playing, but now it's better.

[@TheOptimod]

This was an Oberheim drum machine not a Linn.

[@lorettabyrd1492]

Mic💗 The black George Michael 💗

[@radiodj1520]

I Believe This Was A Video Clip From The 490th Edition Of "Soul Train" On November 23, 1985.

[@vanseventy]

Looks like an episode on Miami Vice.

[@stephenbrett4216]

[@blackhippie62henderson18]

Mic is hella sexy👀

[@monkeybrain213]

[@BillyEdward-sj8pz]

The system had one smooth sound.

[@KevinPaul444]

Look at Mic Murphy hopping around and shit, that shit is funny!! I'm gonna dance like that now lol!!

[@sedthomas2247]

[@1wharfboy]

BADASS GROOVES FUN.

[@chelle5579]

For those of you complaining about the lip syncin/fake playing, Soul Train makes everyone do it. No one played live on this show.

[@donnis618]

Actually, there were a few acts that did perform live on Soul Train, especially in the beginning. But you are right, the vast majority did lip sync just like most of the shows back then

[@adc2327]

You will find a few live performances on Soul Train. Don Cornelius said the studio where they filmed was not set up for live performances. It was difficult and time consuming for staff and artists so they stopped the live performances.

[@khrisi9410]

The group Labelle sang live I believe. Patti tore that stage up.

[@michelelaraia7358]

[@Skipp28TN]

Love this song by OMG the whole band is faking playing.... Lip syncing is one thing but.. Still loved the band just hoping this was a REAL performance.

[@nrvana8775]
