Soul Train Dancers Rick Carson & Manuel Reed | I Was A Soul Train Dancer | Soul Train Awards '22

[@phinebrowngirl5467]

I love the blk cartoon reenactments🙌🏽🔥🙌🏽

[@tonyareed5083]

So cool! 🤗My brother, Manny (Manuel Reed) has always been a man of few words; he's ALWAYS been in ACTION --- either via gymnastics, dance, marathon running, or cycling --- Manny will always be a MAN OF ACTION! 😃 It is also endearing to see that Manny also featured pics of his little sis in that long, pink dress in the opening segments of this video! 😆😆😆 This video presentation is fantastic. Congrats to Manny and Brother Rick Carson for being Soul Train legends!

[@insertyourquarters]

When he met his 'wife', so adorable. These Soul Train dancer videos really bring me so much joy. 😊🙏🏾

Rick is a spitting image of his legendary uncle.

[@RickyCarson]

Yes, friends and family often say that my Uncle and I look alike, but I don't see it.

[@redbonemango1995]

SHO DO!!!

[@shyman99]

@@RickyCarson - I saw the similarities immediately Ricky as I was a huge fan of your uncle. Bought all of his records starting back in 1972 with "Outa-Space" when I was just a kid. I'm sure you know, Billy's music was played quite a bit on ST in the 70s. I so enjoyed hearing your story. Thanks so much for sharing and the great memories you brought to me as I watched you and everyone else on the dance floor.

[@TheBluesmanBlue]

@@mrun10kr thank you Mr Reed for your response I had got into an argument on KZbin because I was requesting that soul train dances deserve Grammys for the talent that you guys and gals and I was asked why do soul train dancers deserve a Grammy and I told them because of your creativity

[@mrun10kr]

@@TheBluesmanBlue Thank you for thinking that we deserve Grammy's. Don't know if I'd go that far, but we've always felt that something should've been presented to represent the dancers on the show. But not to think that we are going unnoticed, there is a woman by the name of Brandy Sanders. Every year she presents ST Dancer Awards Night for selected dancers. It'll probably never make a TV broadcast but it is something that we all appreciate as dancers on the show. But you are correct, there was a lot of creativity on ST! LPS! (Love, Peace and Soul!)

[@christopherredding5851]

These were two of my favorite Male dancers and you guys were so smooth with your moves and Manuel that spin move out of thin air , you both always looked classy and Rick Carson what can I say you did things the right way you met your wife on Soul Train and became a great Father so proud of you setting an example for us. Would love for you two guys to Facebook friend me." Can't wait to hear from Leland Ferguson and Wanda R knight and the female dancer who always wore shades and her hair in a long or short ponytail and a one color top and short dress don't know her name but she started being on the small risers. Thank you guys for sharing your lives with us you two did well and didn't disappoint."

[@mrun10kr]

Thanks for those kind words. Glad that you loved the segment. Sure we'll FB you. As for Leland, he already did a IWASTD segment last season. Wanda has not done one yet. And the female dancer that you're referring to is Sharon.

@@J329-s4h Rick and I are still close to this day. We practically talk to each other as least 3-5 days a week. At this point in our lives and how long we've know each other (40+yrs), you could easily say that we are really brothers! Yes there is another Rick that danced with Terrell Ferguson. He did a IWASTD segment 2yrs ago if I'm not mistaken. Rick is an excellent dancer. If fact I used both of them to highlight one of my shows that I put together back in the day!

I danced on Soul Train...I remember you guys very well. I only danced on the Floor because I couldn't really dance. Eric Kasem was the Dance Coordinator at that time.

[@mrun10kr]

Never feel that you couldn't dance just because you were on the floor. I danced 5 yrs on the floor before I got on the stage and risers. But not for one minute did I ever feel that I was on the floor because I couldn't really dance. Actually I had some of my best times dancing on the floor!

Very entertaining experience. I remember a lot of the dances they created. Great seeing who was behind all of that 👍🏾
