[@sirpoppinchuck]

Scorpio is an amazing dancer. I saw his Micheal Jackson show n he was slamming!! I met him back in 1990 at Boys market on Slauson/ Crenshaw. I’m also from the Baldwin hiils/ Crenshaw area we’ve been crossing paths for many years on the Popping scene. We actually are both in “L.A. Boppin Crew!!” He went Oldschool with “Innercity cultural center” I remember that! Props to Scorpio a true entertainer!

[@kevinmorgan263]

I know u telling truth when u say boys market . Only a local knows this 😂❤

[@CB-fg5tx]

what is his bio name?.

[@CB-fg5tx]

it was good seeing that video. he was slamming

[@J329-s4h]

Scorpio is who I expect to see when I’m told, “We have Michael Jackson at home”.

[@nickfreshalive]

Scorpio is absolutely that dude. I have witnessed this legend dance at a soul train dancer reunion. glorious af.

[@natelylaroyce7277]

This good brotha is an Icon. As a young teen we all thought MJ was really on Soul Train 😊. Incredible work and we miss the 1980’s impersonators dancers. Thank you for the memories!!😊

[@natashathompsonj1005]

I MET THE BROTHER HES,THE ONE OF THE COOLEST CATS I EVER MET

[@ITsMiSSJ510]

What an amazing story! Soul Train Dancers impacted many, many lives...such class and undeniable talents- ALL of you. Such great times. Thank you so much!💯💯💯

[@kevinmorgan263]

Used to see him on Venice beach and at a club next to a barbershop i worked at past 20 yrs. He frequented all the top l.a night clubs locally. Always seen him on soultrain growing up. He was one of the best dancers on there . Nice humble guy. Doesnt show off or anything. Ppl person ❤

[@myolox]

Man I forgot this show had so many characters and personalities. I literally wanted to be in that show and I remember those good 80's and 90's.

[@lisaanderson6920]

I,m from Detroit, Michigan. I Remember seeing the both of the Brothers . Dancing on the Scene Dance Show/ Soul Train . I really regret, that I, I didn’t invest into Dancing Further in my Life . But I like hearing the , Successful Dancers ,Success Stories . ❤️😊

[@mansamusa2012]

Don’t feel bad I’m black and can’t dance for me life

[@mogetit5999]

So cool! Glad to see him doing well and still dancing🔥🔥🔥

[@TheBulletzgottishow20]

Classic soul train

[@AgSherr]

"I just love dressing up...and...being me."😂

[@epicsseven7686]

I remember him very well during 'The Scene' years. I also remember another good dancer on that dance show. Het name is Cheryl. She and another dancer on the show, went to LA to dance on the show, 'Dsnce Fever.' Cheryl and her partner won. They were doing the 'shake dance that 'Scorpio' talked about. That's how they'd won. It's good to see him represent Detroit with pride, here on the Westcoast. And it's also cool to see LA peeps on the show give him love. Equally dope. Is knowing that dancer came from all over the country, to dance on Soul Train.

[@iem4108]

Yesss! Cheryl Peoples and her partner Lorenzo....Lorenzo became a Soul Train dancer as well!

[@relaxandreset]

I remember him dancing on The Scene ❤

[@iem4108]

Me too! I had a crush on him....I remember as a kid watching soul train and he showed up on the screen... I was like hey he danced on the Scene!!! I think I said the same thing about Lisa Mapps, lol

[@rubydawnintl]

so pleased to see Scorpio featured❣

[@thaiboxing67]

scorpio had skills

[@YasminE-dk6nf]

Great video! I love learning about the dancers.

[@georgechilidis8446]

Watching Soul Train 🚂 on Saturdays noon time in Montréal Canada 🇨🇦 from 1972 a 13 year old white Greek-Canadian with a natural Afro inspired me to learn to dance soul listen to Motown music as I got better dance copying the steps doing the jump up and robot stand to a split on the floor every high school dance the Greek girls was trying to get my attention. I had my favourite male soul dancers🕺🏼 I still 2024 watch KZbin videos on soul train 🚂 ❤

[@kaleahcollins4567]

But have you any black friends since?

[@vickie6082]

Many of these Soul Train dancers were true artists. Masters of their craft. Hats off to this brother.

[@NellieKAdaba]

[@miguelwilliams6876]

He said the The Scene legend 😢

[@Cherie-yl4zi]

One of the best Michael Jackson impersonators

[@DJ_Dutchess]

He is amazing. He talks about the work being from in the chest but his footwork is also impeccable 😲👏✨ I love how his brother recognized his talent and supported his career. That is real love ❤

[@tuningin88]

8:33, every R&B group, from the 60s, the 70s and the 80s, predicted of how the beats and the sounds of how R&B songs would sound like, for the near future. it's amazing. 🌎🎵📺🎧📻

[@anthonynewman1527]

AWESOME JOURNEY

[@queend5493]

I love that he gave The Scene love. When he hit the floor he showed he didn't hold back. A great dancer. It's sad that the dancers don't get some kind of pension for being on the show for over 15 years.

[@BohemianRhapsody324]

Kudos to these Icons that have paved the way for us dancers today 💪😁

[@RobotronOG]

MF’in Scorpio, I didn’t realize he was on Soul Train so long.. Cool dude, dope all styles dancer.

[@Ruby_Sterling]

Michael Jackson definitely inspired

[@johnpetty3574]

TINA ... MARIE !!! You know, as time goes on the World is gonna REALLY really start to miss Tina more & more, i mean We already do, but as we ,as a people, keep hearing what came after .... It'll become CRYSTAL CLEAR, just how Special and Unique (there's nothing like HER) she IS.

[@AP1977plus2]

Alright now I can watch and enjoy this. Good job removing the photo and reuploading this cause I like Scorpio

[@zdoll12]

Do you know why they took it down and reposted it?

[@tavwilliam9367]

He look like mix between Michael and trent derby

[@soulheaven9243]

[@bw3506]

Great story and good job doing what you love! Not many accomplish that. The Soooul Train was legit entertainment. 👍

[@summerease]

[@Ogun-v8y]

[@Keeng_Aman_Duh]

[@mickeymack0727]

That’s Gus from “The Scene” in Detroit.

[@tonyjulian1289]

He told everyone not to call him that I don’t know why that’s his name 😂 Augustus Burton 😂

[@BeeBee-jf7ul]

The truth! I remember him.

[@andriadebose8484]

He was really popular with those moves. Love hearing about these people. We all wondered what happened to them in life.

[@reggiemunch]

I remember him as a child when he danced on a show called THE SCENE in Detroit.

[@NellieKAdaba]

Nice

[@angelawilliams3907]

I loved listening to his story. When are you coming back to Vegas?

[@CharoletteGriffin]

Let me tell you something young man I was the lady with the dog yesterday that outfit that you had on you was looking good and I kept trying to get your attention and tell you you need to bring that fashion into the stores you and so many others are so trained taught us how to wear her hair how to match up our shoes with our clothes you guys brought us to life and I'm going to tell you something when I was when I saw you I don't know why but I was kind of shy because I'm older than you baby I'm 67 years old and to me you are a a star ⭐ All of you are soul train are stars in my eye because you brought those those those good old years to Life for Us you guys on Saturdays you gave us something to do without you we wouldn't have known how to dance we would have known how to dress I mean you guys had it going on and I know you so please give me another chance try to get a show back on TV so our kids can learn how to appreciate what we appreciate it when we were growing up God bless you and stay safe and that outfit again it was nice to me by just acknowledging me that that day and God bless you that's something I'm going to keep in my heart forever ever for the rest of my life 🕯️👀🌈🫶🏿✌🏿🙏🏿🤲🏿⭐

[@dsargeant14]

If those kids parents had gotten them agents, they would have gotten paid! If not....law suit city!

[@soulheaven9243]

[@nicholr2933]

[@marlonharrison5511]

Why did they re-upload this?

[@zdoll12]

Yeah! What happened to all those good comments!? And the views? Oh well, he's still the bombay!

[@dainnesecowan6]

Asking the same question

[@crystalgayles626]

The only thing I see different is that they removed the picture of Michael Jackson's son Blanket out of the video

[@lostdomesticarts7413]

@@zdoll12 because it had a photo that should not have been in the package, so it was removed and corrected. so we get on them good comments back

[@pcorporan45pc]

I went to school with Gus and he was really a nice person 😊

[@cynMalMaz]

You represent the "D" well.💯🎉❤🎉❤🎉 Thanks for your awesome story

[@MuckyPup115]

I guess he hasn’t watched any of the other ST clips bc everyone says they were told the answer to the Scramble before it was taped.

[@Yahyahsouth401]

[@darrellpierce1578]

Legendary

[@JohnHallberg-v4o]

Super cool man ❤. Dj John Sweden.

[@bobredford9237]

Reflecting on a bygone era presents a paradox: one experiences a sense of satisfaction regarding past accomplishments, yet simultaneously grapples with a poignant nostalgia for the irretrievable nature of those days.

[@takeisacrowder3391]

Yes..

[@stseinyt]

Great story, but when will Jeffrey come on here, telling his story, there are a lot of people would love to know about it
