OMG!! The clothes...the shoes...the dance moves. The level of coolness of the 1970s is out of control!!!

Soul Train is weirdly modern, for something made on the 70s, so much that watching it, with the fake cibernetics and the weird use of ties and clothes I could very much believe to be set in a distopic future, 100 years ahead of us.

Those clothes where tight. I was born in 1970 and I remember the I had a Afro, bell bottom pants. Our whole family would watch soul train every Saturday night. Boy those where the good old days. They just don't make music or clothes like the use too. I also noticed there weren't a lot of obesity back than compared to today. The clothes people wear today is so revealing. They just might as well go naked.

@@katiebrown3801 hi. The difference in obesity is that in around 1980-ish roundup ready GMO crops were introduced to our food chain. Start looking at some other animals. Giant fat garbage eating squirrels etc. Chickens that have enormous breasts. All by design and it affects us too. That all started in the 80s. All of a.sudden America got fat and sick.

Oh, the memories! I was in junior high school when Soul Train came on television every Saturday. Everyone I knew watched it, and we tried our best to do those dances. And of course, we couldn't move the same way the Soul Train dancers did, but we did the easier moves. And the Soul Train Saturdays continued throughout high school, and my first two years of college. I'm so glad KZbin has these videos!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Seeing black joy in this way kinda feels like seeing my nephew after he was born. You wanna think you've seen something more beautiful, or that you will see something as beautiful again. When the reality is some thing else. You'll see it a thousand times in your mind and always remember it like the first time in your heart. As troubling as 2016-2021 has been, we have to keep on showing that joy. We have to keep on dancing 😌

God, THESE WERE THE DAYS!! People dressed up and it was awesome, dancing was REALLY dancing, the music and singing was phenomenal and no auto tune bullsh*t, no overload of technology but face to face socializing and people knew how to talk to other people, manners actually counted, no growth hormones in the food (look how trim everyone used to be! Thankfully, I still am), people gave a damn about the planet, other people, what was happening in our country and our world and what was happening to those less fortunate, AND PEOPLE HAD SOUL ❤️I swear, sometimes it’s like humanity’s very soul has been amputated in these days we live in now 😢

I agree, but I also remember back in the 70s when my mother coming into the living room while my sister, brother, and I were watching Soul Train, and she said, “Decent young ladies shouldn’t be wearing clothes like that! I betta not EVAH catch my daughters showin’ off their bodies in public!” She was referring to the halter tops and hot pants some of Soul Train ladies were wearing. Well, my sister and I did buy halter tops, but we didn’t want to press our luck with the hot pants! Mom was relentless with her Florida based beliefs about how her daughters should dress whenever we went outside our house.

I miss all natural, beautiful black women. So healthy, so beautiful, so natural. I am so glad I was able to experience these women and these times.

[@victorparker308]

Circa 1970s. We did but also didn't truly appreciate how beautiful our black girls were. I can still see them in my mind. Naturally cool, stylish, & sexy. Femine and openly fun attitudes. Slim but curvy figures. Those large afros & other unique hairstyles really set them apart. Beautiful skin of all possible shades with sometimes just a touch of light makeup. They way they danced, & holding them close on slow dances, so nice. The vast majority of us really didn't think of eventually marrying any other. When I see many modern young women & look back us guys were lucky indeed. L.A. Ca. class of '72.

[@neitajames6029]

My cousin who is bit older than me still say love peace and soul. When I saw this had click on. Don't remember this one. But no matter how young or old you was you just had watch soul train. I loved the soul train line. Watching the outfits, the shoes. The groups. If we had this today our young people have more respect, no gangs..I loved watching waiting see who was going be on. My siblings and I never got into trouble. We respected each other.. Take care everybody. One guys I went highschool with still has a afro only difference its salt n pepper bowl. Loved those years. Love, peace and soul everybody. N.j.:-)
