You old people ain't got nothing better to do? Stop complaining and go make yourself a hot bowl of oatmeal

[@blessedmslady7341]

@@xxcrump2640 That's funny 😄... But naw. Soul Train line it is 😂🤣

[@J330R]

Soul Train MADE my Saturday afternoons. I look at this clip and smile. The dancers make me smile! And they're all so damn CUTE!!! And, of course, The Silvers. LOVED THEM! There's no school like OLD SCHOOL!

[@dundiplace]

Watching these Soul Train clips on KZbin makes me feel like I was born way too late and missed out on a BIG 10-year party! My era pales in comparison to the good times seen here. Great music and awesome dancing!

[@lefreak79]

Onan M YOU SAID IT!! WHEN THIS CAME OUT I WAS 13 YEARS OLD. I HAD MY EAR TO ALL THE DISCO RADIO STATIONS WHERE I LIVED! YOU MISSED OUT ON THE DISCO, FUNK AND SOUL THAT PERMEATED THE AIRWAVES AND DANCE FLOORS. NOTHING WILL EVER BE LIKE THAT AGAIN. I MISS IT SO MUCH. DISCO AL

[@xxcrump2640]

Why you old people always complaining? Be happy you got false teeth and you'll never ever have another toothache😄

[@Stephanie-vn6ir]

That chick in the white flowing dress is doing the feeling, which was the name of that dance!❤😂

[@pbrown04330]

MsEricaLize1 year ago They were getting down! They were doing their own thing and NOBODY was judging! They all embraced it! I wish people still danced and had fun like this. RIGHT ON SISTER !!!

[@pbrown04330]

where did these times go, turn back the clock please, if are young people only knew. Like some people think, going out dancing was about doing drugs, well I'm here to tell you, where I was from thats not the story, yes there was some drinking and limited pot smoking, but the hard drugs werent to be found, if they were around, they were being kept a big secret, it was fun times shared with many friends, at many night clubs, lot of romance, the late 70's to the early 90's, , roller skating, dancing, movies, cinema and drive-ins, best of both worlds, parking under the stars, late night date at the beach, lot of cool cars, great tunes on the radio. THOSE WERE THE DAYS

[@alfredatrawick649]

Remember watching American Bandstand and then Soul Train came on righr after. Loved Soul Train.

[@cinnamonspice4389]

I see Dick Griffey doing his thing. Go DG. The Sylvers deserves a star 🌟 on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, now is the time. I love it.

[@palcanon6888]

I'm 68 so I remember the fun of dancing!

[@MrBabebreau]

Great Times with even greater friends, whom i cherish today. The later spoken on, I am so sure they were available,I dont know of anyone who felt the need, Just dancing on Soul Train, and keping up with all of our rigorous performances , in and out of town was a full time job, that we all loved and no one never ever had any quarells, that i knew of,.lol...:)

[@navivwilkins3266]

0:16 couple in all brown, Thelma Davis Martin and beautiful man. My faves!!! They dance together with such style and grace.

[@pauleypavillion6088]

These young soul train dancers back then had no fat/obese with stupid looking attire we have today from the 2000 onward.

[@IamDoctorIan]

U can tell even then Jody & Jeffrey were serious then because all their dances were always so much more routine, & in sync with one another. They took it as a craft. VERY SERIOUSLY.

[@ceijae]

ALL of the dancers... have a waistline! Wow i miss those dayz!!

[@sbella6719]

I miss my waistline, lol! Working on getting it back after watching these ST videos

[@marcusbetancourt3760]

So Super, Super Cool. That's what I call " The Dance of ATTITUDE".

[@u.s.n.retired1995]

Bad song, bad dancers!!! ❤👍🏾❤ When we actually had pride in ourselves and each other.

[@tita9165]

Most of the dancers on the show were aspiring artist, they had to audition to dance on Soul train, as you probably already know, some of them have become famous too!

[@nathalymartina]

My best couple 0:16, reminds me so much of my mother's younger years!!

[@newbreedize1]

Back in the day when people where happy dancing instead of sexing on the dance floor.

[@bellbottomblues131]

True that!!

[@pamelajohnson8044]

people were skinnier then for sure

[@rjackson3784]

lol, I grew up back then... and the only time you were in the house during the day was to watch soul train and cartoons... then you were out in the streets playing...riding bikes, basketball, football,etc or you were dancing... you couldn't just sit around and eat junk food and watch tv all day because either you couldn't afford it, or your parents wouldn't let you...AND you didn't wanna stay in the house...sooooooo we stayed more fit... even though it was cruel, a chubby kid stood out more and was teased...

[@bangbigbot4277]

agreed..

[@jot8000]

What's the reason they canceled Soul Train ?

[@sbella6719]

The show started to lose the magic of the 70s and later music videos finished it off IMO

[@88keys33]

The couple at 1:45 always got camera time. Anyone know who they are?

[@reneerenee2656]

1:34 she look she like my sister wow.

does anyone know who is the light skinned dude at about 2:53??

yeah nice stereotypes there buddy, but not all black youth is a walking prison statistic, there is a remnant, there is hope..

[@srercrcr]

Doesnt look like a Soul Train set

[@jeromebaxter2987]

2:33

[@JayWerx]

Why did soul train switch from men and women dancing together on the line to separate lines?

[@sbella6719]

Probably the dancers didn't want to be overshadowed by their partners. I preferred the couples

[@pamelajohnson8044]
