Wait . . . a dancer, mortician, 10 husbands . . . This is all by ONE WOMAN? I feel so boring.

[@kristendrayton]

Right! 😂

[@daniellej7914]

I remember she was on a sweetie pie episode they said she buried Ike

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

I think she's even got Liz Taylor beat 😉🤣

[@ericbush6124]

I'm wondering the 5th or 6th Husband let alone 3rd or 4th yea no problem I'm on board thinking the common denominator in all that was no don't feel boring please

[@Thewritingelf]

Lived more than one lifetimes. 10 husbands tho🤣

[@marlonharrison5511]

10 Husbands? She's needs a full movie on her life.

[@CuirPhotodotNet]

....TYLER PERRY......WHERE ARE YOU...

[@empresserica]

Totally agree!

[@rodneyplayer5785]

I concur.

[@thankful316]

🤣🤣🤣 oh yeah fast

[@mojjim2177]

Y’all need to find ALL of the Soul Train dancers from the 70s that are still around before it’s too late

[@aprilwhite3914]

She's been connected since 14. That was truly her path.

[@adamthompson3691]

"I went from live entertainment to deceased entertainment" 🤣

[@aliltasteofheavensmith994]

This is a pioneer who launched a lot of trends we still utilize today. Thank you, Queen.

[@ccth22]

So true and such a fascinating journey…

[@aliltasteofheavensmith994]

@@ccth22 yes I agree I love this series

[@LivingInTheShade]

This held my attention. Great life story. What I'm really shocked about, when they found out she was a runaway, they didn't send her home to her parents?

[@5x7m]

I guess they figured she ran away for a good reason.

[@motherreturned9272]

Back in the day when it came to runaways, as long as the teen wasn't causing trouble and was helping out, they'd take care of them. I'm sure word got back that she was the niece of one of the Bar-Kays as well.

[@1990758]

So true

[@shaunnatrawick3480]

Exactly! In this day and age that would be considered trafficking the way Isaac sent her to another state to another GROWN MAN!! At least back then most adults were trustworty and we looked out and cared about our young folks. My how things have changed. Just glad she had a beautiful story to tell and not a tragic one.

[@lawandamarie4733]

Queen Diva Glamma 💖 She's really amazing. She does all of that and gives back to the community. I met her at a community event with Wigcaps by Sonia they make wigs for children that have cancer. She's legit

[@susanhurst3292]

This is a good segment!! I wish they will make a DVD, box set, with all episodes.

[@mrwrightdaughtr]

I agree

[@marlonharrison5511]

Naw I like it like this. It feels more personal.

[@expressomixed7558]

Yes, they really need to

[@lizdickerson7038]

This Queen has LIVED!!

[@mistermilkman]

When I was a kid, I would look 4 certain dancers when Soul Train came on. She is killing everything from head 2 toe...proof u don't have 2 let urself go bc u get older or have kids. Simply elevate with time.

[@lizreid5781]

Wow she had the most interesting back story on her way to being a part of the legendary soul train franchise!!! She’s definitely a Queen!!!💃🏾🪩🔥

[@phinebrowngirl5467]

Love hearing these updates. She really used the exposure to elevate her dreams.🤗💥🤗

[@estrellagomes401WAVY]

Booked and Busy is an understatement for this Queen 🙏🏽💐 Talk about Live your Life 👏🏽🙏🏽

[@sandrasanders706]

I had NO IDEA Darrnell Williams was a ST Dancer! He was...awesome as Jesse on All My Children!!

[@blackdiamonds4046]

I'm 50yrs. old and I still remember all the people they feature.😁

[@grego5284]

This segment was really, really interesting. I only wish that it had been longer. 👍😎

[@cmj2072]

After you guys feature all the dancers, I can't wait to hear about all the marriages and babies & families that happened because of soul train❤️

[@sirpoppinchuck]

This funky lady lived a very active life !!! James Brown Barkays, Confunksion, Ike n Tina etc… The funk was in her n all around her.

[@jamielacy8552]

I need this woman's life to be made into a movie! Just phenomenal!

[@ThePrincerob]

10 husbands! 😮wow!!!!!!!

[@GETOSUPASTAR]

Wow, whatta life. She needs her own biopic… from a teenage age run away to Soul Train dancer to 10 husbands…to mortician/boutique owner? Damn, what have I done with my life?🤷🏿

[@voodeux_badeux]

She was getting it! You hear me!

[@Purpleppleater42]

[@marlonharrison5511]

Aretha Franklin's son? We need his story next.

[@ceec3171]

It's in Aretha Franklin book, his first time dancing on Soul Train is when Aretha sang Rock Steady in 1973. Watch the video, you can see him dancing near the stage(dressed in blue) in the video and Aretha and their cousin Brenda(Afro in pink) smiling watching him dance.

[@diwi5823]

He's her dad's child and no one wants to talk about it....end of story

[@MissDN]

I’m a 70’s baby and remember Saturday mornings oh so well. We couldn’t wait to see who were the featured artists and pretending I was a Soul Train dancer. These stories are great. Please keep them coming.

[@ceec3171]

@@diwi5823 That is Aretha's son Eddie dancing on Soul Train. Clarence is the son, that's suppose to be her father's child.

[@diwi5823]

[@Nonchalant_248]

Great story, what a life she's had.

[@briab10]

Yessss give us MORE of these. Best content y’all can put out

[@amencal]

Beautiful story. You did good with your life, sis. 10 husbands? I think that beats liz taylor's record.

[@Royalgazlite]

Dope dancer! I love the way she moves! I was too little to remember her on soul train! But l love seeing her dance for the first time!

[@jazziecat2354]

I miss the days of the 70's!!

THANK YOU AGAIN. I LOVE THESE SNIPPETS. KEEP THEM COMING. I WISH IT WAS A WAY. THAT SOMEONE COULD PUT SOME OF THESE STORIES IN MOVIE FORM. MAYBE CONCENTRATE ON A SELECT FEW AND THE BACKGROUND STORIES THAT THEY HAVE. FOREVER SOULTRAIN

[@yardleyj9391]

I love those time capsules: I always wondered what became of those fun youth.

[@lynettemorales7455]

Mama has lived mama has lived . I love this series . Soul train had so many interesting entertainers

[@birdsfan57]

She was one of the BEST of the Soul Train dancers. Looked forward to that line dance every Saturday afternoon, and her amazing dancing up that line. Always wished I could be half as good as those ST dancers...and dance up that iconic line!

[@clarencepointer]

That was a really great segment, what an amazing journey 👏

[@luvte1]

She is a beauty to watch and her fashion is something you can not forget.

To the soul train historical society thank you for preserving this legacy for generations to come and May God continue to bless you and keep you. ❤️ MUCH LOVE FROM NEW ORLEANS!

It is amazing to listen to these dancers tell their stories.❤ Thank you all for such an amazing experience you gave to us

[@RoseTorn411]

Seeing how open and creative Soul Train was it's interesting to know that Don wasn't as open when it came to certain outfits, etc.

[@laurenxo6503]

You have to place yourself in that time mentally. He was (like a lot of black people) trying to project the best image of African Americans at the time. This was very common coming out of slavery (think talented tenth) and again out of the civil rights movement that bore soul train. Respectability politics. That’s why he didn’t like her being bald headed.

[@ohiorichkidbeats]

10 husbands🤒 well s/o to NICK CANNON..she said her back got bad from her job,I'm not sure at least one of those husbands probably broke HER BACK IN..

[@JamieJoIacobucci]

Bring back Soul Train! Don’t complicate it with the phoniness of today’s performers. Just bring it back, in its pure form!!

[@julz7753]

I’m 61 and I wanna be like her when I grow up!

Wow, so gutsy and brave as a kid! ❤

I'm sure Don payed her well, and she slept with a lot of men to survive. She didn't complain about the kfc chicken & can soda like the others they interviewed. Because I'm sure she got the VIP meals with Don and the musical guest.
