Soul Train Dancers & The Origins Of The Soul Train Line

[@carolynhooper8665]

Soul train was Saturday’s BEST! The music! The soul train line! The dancers! And entertainers! 👍🏼

[@EvelynJenkins-uo4zi]

Soul train was the best on Saturday we had so much fun with our family good days

[@donniehagy5125]

I''m almost 70 years young (and white), and Soul Train is where I learned to dance! I was hypnotized by the next to effortless movements of these people. This was one little "white nerd" who got invited to all the black neighborhood parties!! I'll never forget those times either. Everyone got along and I felt much more at east at these parties. Hell, I never got invited to the "snooty" parties because all everyone wanted to was sit around and talk! To hell with that! Miss Soul Train, its dancers, and Don Cornelius to this day!

I'm almost 65 and white and Motown is STILL my favorite music. Great story and thank you for sharing. Pardon me but I'm gonna hop on the Soul Train line.😁"Soul Train,the hippest trip in America" RIP Don Cornelius. ✌️❤️

[@a.christian9647]

Wow, that is the first time I've ever seen Don Cornelius come down the Soul Train line. I love it!

[@marysmith2163]

[@patrickreed8043]

[@ProgressiveTruthSeekers]

You mean, "BROWN" skin people. So-called, black and white is brainwashing nonsense. It's 2024! Wake up!

[@debramonzyk4925]

Yeh! I always was happy to see Don and the line dances. I'm 70 now love that I can see it, now! So Great!

[@normamcmanus1139]

Loved this show! The artists, the dancers along with the fashions. Especially, the late Don Cornelius. People seemed to be happier, more content. There was such a positivity about this show. Soul Train and American Bandstand showcased the heart and future of America-its youth! RIP, Don Cornelius and Soul Train! ❤❤❤

[@speerrituall1]

In the DMV, the Soul Train line came on every Saturday at 12:00 pm. Be there or be square!

[@kwasiaking1989]

Indeed it did. I was born and raised in Baltimore, and at that time, I was incredibly young. So, I didn’t fully innerstand this phenomenon of a show. But I was somehow connected and in tune with SOMETHING that just felt special. Shout out to the great Patricia Davis. The Greatest Soul Train dancer.

[@synthiacollins2139]

"Omg" Did Don Cornelius knew how much "Soul Train" back in the 70's was a "Empire" and for the African-American culture. "It was a Movement... People of color profit from Soul Train.... Happy Times happy times!!!!!!! I can remember when I was a little girl, and we used to wake up every Saturday get the house cleaned up, before Soul Train came on it was a event... To know all the latest dances, the Soul Train Line, it swept across this nation and still to this day. Every wedding anniversary, and parties keep that traditional soul train line. Don Cornelius I don't think he knew how big his vision was how he touched every human soul.... "I think in the music productions they, should give Don Conelius a reward and honor him for what he has given the African American culture". Thank you Don Cornelius may you rest in Peace Love and Soul. .

[@rodneythomas8813]

My friends & I lived for Soul Train, every single weekend.

[@billmitch920]

(from Bolivia) well, I'm +70 years old, WHITE, grew up in Wash DC. Never missed a show

[@ProgressiveTruthSeekers]

It all started in Chicago, on channel 26.

[@jamesrussell6123]

When Don Cornelius tried to do the split this is where he messed up at

[@kwasiaking1989]

No other show captured the heart and SOUL of its viewers, like Soul Train. Rest In Uhuru, to Don Cornelius and Mary Wilson. Also, sending love and peace vibrations to the greatest and my favorite Soul Train dancer of all time, Patricia “The Butterfly” Davis. HETEPU!

[@michelebrotman5345]

The dances, the fashion, the music. I loved Soul Train.

[@immasoxfanbaby]

Nice work

[@falanajerido875]

He was the best

[@staceyg.4320]

Still the hippest trip in America! ❤

[@wamcalif5]

Wow...Soul Train was SO important to watch it became "must see TV". I remember it offered a hipper alternative to lame American Bandstand dancers. I even loved the Afro Sheen commercials that focused on Black hair care products, which was a first.

[@KassaTedla-r7n]

I was a university student in the US in the early 70s. Oh boy, I sure sure, sure enjoyed Soul Train dances. I never missed the weekly program. I wish they have a reruns of those beautiful dances. It was amazing how those sisters and brothers made those graceful, lovely and sexy body movements. U go to a campus party and u find more than 100 hundred pairs dancing with the same rythem, same body movement from head to toe, clapping at the same, etc. It was beautiful. It was mesmerizing. I went to "white" parties a few times. Completely different and opposite. I picked my undergraduate and graduate degrees along with the basics of Soul dance movements and returned home. I have a very beautiful memory of those years. Great thanks to the founders of the Program.

[@travelalldestinytours]

Every weekend Saturday and Sunday we would be at KT TV, channel 11 off of Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles California filming Soul Train.Our weekend lunch would be Churches Fried Chicken… For me being Excepted and choosing by Pam BROWNE, as part of the soul train game was an honor and dancing with Damita Jo and Tony Lewis, Jody Watley, Pat Davis, Rerun, Little Joe Tyrone….

I am an original founder of the script. God will deliver my money. I saw a G. I've seen it all. Dope describes my rhymes, making all you MCS cold drop like dimes. You know MCSC is back again, and battling me on the microphone is like committing a sin. Scott/MCSC

[@josericardopradodaviladavi9696]

Hello, I would like to know the name of the songs played there, please.

[@Hugh_Manitee]

Soul Train certainly had a groove. But add roller skates and you'll see some serious moves. Look up Jam roller skating on youtube.

[@cjrddic3548]

If this looks surreal, it's because this occurred way before the obesity epidemic......
