They was always my favorite group growing up. Don Cornelius was the man, and the dancers was really fun to watch. Such great memories from this show. RIP Don, you was truly an original.

    This is so beautiful, almost overwhelming and sad. Me and my sister always watched Soul Train every Saturday. This Italian girl dreamed of being on Soul Train one day. It never happened but Soul Train was a big part of my life. I feel so bad about Don Cornelius. He was ahead of his time. I wish he could have reached out to someone. Such an amazing person with a heartbreaking end.

    Sad that it came to this, he must have been suffering so much to exit the way he did. But he picked his time to go and he always went his own way, making the tuff decisions. I only wish we could turn back time and get a "DO OVER", I hate what music has become, there are no talented artists on the same level as back in the Soul Train days. Back then everything was new never done before, now its just all a repeat, but the man that brought it to us first was Don Cornelius, he knew what was needed and lifted generations up to be able to show that there were more to blackness than a color. I learned about clothes, music and the artists that made it, I learned about style and how to carry it off, and I discovered my first idols were the dancers on Soul Train. I will never forget what that show did for me and meant to me, and guess what I am white, but I wanted it to be my show too. RIP DON CORNELIUS..

    So having this to look at every weekend was very entertaining to see so many great stars sharing there music that made you Get Up And MOVE THAT BODY!
    Thank you Don forgiving us so much to me and many others.
    May Soul Train Live in all us..

That train was the sound for the times. Cause we were young and discovering some of the world and it's talents. Wow! What a shock!!! Him killing himself. That didn't feel so right? He was a star too.. But without GOD . we get sucked up are ride the roller coaster of a part of what hell offers? Disappointments, fear, shock and eventually destruction...

    I loved Soul Train & American Bandstand, but I liked that show Solid Gold, too, though Solid Gold only lasted from 1980 to 1988. The Solid Gold dancers were fun to watch, but in a different way, of course, than ST and AB.

    As a kid I watched it and the show was broadcasted from WTTG in DC channel 5. The commercials played during the show were Black oriented. Being white in a white town, I soaked it all in.
