They hitting the Robot, Voguing, Popping locking Breaking hitting splits, man these guys are KILLING IT. We can thank THIS for the evolution of modern dance..so so good..
noooooooooo wonder i dance like i do,,lol... watched this growing up and by golly gee,, oh wow,,, i still dance this way,,, hahahaha,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ooh well dont care, i have fun, dance like no one is watching ...Soul Train taught me to do it right,,,, tee-hee
👍🏾I'm gonna throw in " P Y T" too.Soul Train dancers really got down on that one too back in the day! I was right there watching on the tube every Saturday morning! 😃
I was thinking the same thing. Everyone is slim n healthy looking. The women are thin n very beautiful, n everyone seems to have a nice n pleasant attitude---- unlike today where to many people have opted for that so called ghetto n or gangster attitude.
And that makes me the 3rd person thinking the exact same thing! Wow, so it must be true. Black people had nice shapes back in the seventies, what happened? Most of them are fat now. What did they put in the food these days?
I was only a young teen in the early 80s but it was quite a show --- I remember going to the local mall and it seemed like every woman was thin and sexy and dressed to impress --- I wish I coulda got a boner back then!
@@sbella6719 yes. My mama, who loved this show, lived to be 90. She ate nothing but soul food, no preservatives, no fast food, and no microwave. Not saying that’s the reason but could be.
Michael Jackson is probably the only performer that could make people from the 70's; 80's up to 2016 dance. The guy was a rare star. A true artist and the kind of talent that you probably see once every century. RIP King of pop. You are probably making those angels dance with you.
agree 1000%!!! to also be a child singer and keep people liking you for forever...that's awesome :) i still love all his music, all the way to j5's first single :)
This comment is so _Deeply_ True. Its Aug 2024 right now, MJ's Don't Stop was 1979, so *Forty Five Years Ago.* That magic decade of the 1970's, post Civil rights, where "we" thought we would finally be free - and _Danced_ like it. Boy, were we ever wrong.
...lol, was at a stoplight one day. Something glimmering caught my eye. 3 $100 bills were blowing in the wind. I never flipped an illegal u-turn so fast. Had a great day 🥰
Lol maybe not my mom and dad graduated hs in 1976 and 1977 and went to clubs during this time and grew up watching soul train. I was born in 1998 😂 so I'm 19 lol my parents are so old. Compared to everyone else's parents. Both rocked afros back in the day
I know what you mean. I'm 24yrs old and most of my peers are too prideful to let loose. I myself enjoy dancing like this. going to the 80s bar for a nice date, It soo much fun and my partner loves it.
Umm . . . watch this again. A lot of these men were fruits. If a man is a really good dancer he's probably gay. Now I can move like a brick on the dance floor and fail to impress you with my less than elegant moves or we could just skip embarrassing us both and head to the bedroom where how we move doesn't need to be pretty.
I remember when I was really, really little....that was one of my first memories. The see through outfits. I remember a lady on a tv show was singing and she was wearing a bustier/bra and you could see through. My dad covered my eyes. Lol. Just a few years earlier and the pants were flared so wide and here it's skinny jeans and spandex. Love the lady in the beginning with the jeans and belted sweater.
This is amazing!! Back when going to clubs were about dancing and having a great time with everyone, and not trying to be staunch and passive aggressive to people and looking at people weirdly because they're dancing!
+BohemianAsh True. I worked at a nightclub (under-age) as a glass collector in the early 80s. Everyone was dancing, forgetting the work week, laughing, flirting. It was great.
Man, I miss those days. Music was awesome and people loved each other See kids...this is when people went to clubs and had fun. It was about dancing and having a good time. And...hoping to get laid. Not 1 person beefing, getting pissed over stupid stuff and not a single firearm.
Um...this country couldn't find enough naturally slim and attractive people in that age range to do this show today. Our society is fat or riddled with fake parts aka plastic surgery. Age has nothing to do with this either, obese starts at age 2 now and kids get plastic surgery as presents from their parents. This type of health we see in these videos no longer exists as it is mental health/wellness todays society lacks as well.
M Styles - wrong, wrong, wrong. Age has everything to do with it. Some of these dancers are semi-professional dancers selected to make the Soul Train dance sphere attractive and entertaining. These people are no more representative of average blacks at that time than a Miss America pageant is representative of women at any given time. These people are young and in their physical prime 18-24yrs old. There are obese people in this country, but there are also plenty of slim fit people too. Most high school and college age girls are very body conscious. It all depends on what community you're in. Middle and upper middle class black females are going to be fit and slim.
Um ok...I am a professional bodybuilder and was a professional soccer player in my youth. The best shape people I know and see are ALL OVER THE AGE OF 40. But I am sure you know better. And to tell me obesity is not an issue lolololol open your eyes and stop making this sh*t a race issue. Get over it. And tell me this is not about mental health as well lolololo wake up. I am SO SICK of RACE being brought into EVERYTHING. This is BEYOND RACE, stop being such a bigot.
M Styles - apparently I do know better. I agreed that obesity is an issue in this country, but I'm able to put things into the proper perspective. You said the people, in your experience, that are in the best shape are all over the age of 40. That sounds biased and is almost certainly a misperception of reality probably based largely on the people that you associate with at this point in your life. Physical fitness, health, and weight, are primarily the result of 4 main factors; genetics, age, diet, and level of physical activity. 1. Genetics - our individual genetic coding determines our individual default metabolism. And even though physical activity and diet (including medications both legal and illegal) can "disturb" or disrupt our natural metabolism it is a natural phenomenon as old as the human animal itself that metabolism is more active and "aggressive" when we are born and in our youthful years to support growth and development and naturally slows as we age. 2. Diet - we are not necessarily what we eat. As mentioned above diet affects our health and physical fitness, but doesn't determine it. The human body has the remarkable ability to synthesize some of what it doesn't get naturally. So even though you may not eat a healthy diet you can still end up being a healthy person. 3. Physical activity - of course the more physically active you are, the healthier you will be. 4. Age - The human animal, like all living organisms goes through a natural cycle of life. People are not born with grey hair, bad knees, and wrinkles. That's a result of the aging process. As for the race, bigot comment, I'm not sure you understand what a bigot is. The definition of a bigot is someone who is intolerant of the differences of others. Nothing I said suggested intolerance. The only reason I mentioned race at all is because Soul Train is very widely known to have been an African American television show with an African American host, featuring African American music artists, and minority studio dancers and guests. You should get your sensitivity in check. You shouldn't allow the mere mention of race to cause you to go the defense.
Ah, this brings back memories! I used to watch this show all the time on the weekends when I was a kid! But because I was WHITE in the 70’s...A lot of my friends and family thought I was weird for watching a show that was geared towards a predominantly black audience. That’s just the way things were back in those days I guess. But I never let that bother me. My argument was SO WHAT? What difference does it make what COLOR the audience is? You got good music, good dancing, good entertainment...WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
I always enjoyed Spul Train more than Solid Gold. You follow the good music no matter the color or creed! My dad raised us on Prince, the Commodores, Earth Wind & Fire AND Kenny Rogers, Bob Seger, The Eagles & Linda Ronstadt.
I thought Jabbawokkies were to the first group of Asians to prove they were better than black people.. You're telling me they were doing it back during the Reagan administration??
Watching this clip makes me feel so many things. I think it's called "nostalgia". I was just turning 14 when this song was on the radio ( I think I just truly dated myself). I remember many of these dancers cause they were on every week . I don't think I missed a single airing of Soul Train from 1977 to 1987. Soul Train truly represented my youth and I really miss that time.
If you can manage to tap into the joy of this video and spread all around inside yourself, you can heal yourself of anything. What a blessing to have this!
UnidickOffical ! That is not Cheryl. By the early 80’s there was at least one other asian american lady that was a regular on the show. Don’t know her name but she did do the Scramble Board once. Also that dude is not Cheryl’s dance partner.
I agree with you 100%. Women definitely looked better back then! I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that people remained natural…The way it was meant to be. Now you see women trying to look like men… And men trying to look like women… nobody even knows what the heck gender they are anymore!! 😂 I miss those old days when life was just a lot simpler.
Absolutely EVERY PERSON who danced in the "Soul Train" line really knew how to dance!! I used to watch this show when I was young, anticipating the day it would come on TV.
Born in 91 and a LOVE watching old videos like this, listening to old music, classics, even folk music. I love that old school vibe like diners, drive in theater, poetry slams and settings like The Den (from Moesha) where people listened to artist and had a good time and eat or when people dressed up to go to the club like Ella Fitzgerald or Vivian Green on stage. Ahh take back to those times.
Ok, let me clarify something to those of you who don't know: Michael had 4 Number one hits in a row on his first album...he was 11 years old. He was nominated for an Oscar and performed on the Academy Awards show when he was about 13 years old. By the time he was 25 years old he was in the Stratosphere looking down on other artists who only could dream of being as talented, famous and loved by so many as he was! So there's no need to compare him to anyone else because simply....there is and never will be anyone who can compare to him! How's that!?
I was, 73 to be exact, and as a kid in the 70's low crime, killin wasn't big at all, my parents and their friends partied and dance like no other decade, it really looked like they new how to let loose and have fun, unlike how things turned into, people are soo uptight now and don't really know how to let loose. sad af!
To every teen of this generation reading this, please make the most of your existence in the here and now and see the good in your generation. This was indeed a beautiful time but we were all born in the time God intended us to be in. Just be the change you want to see. I know we all have our opinions, and I'm not tryna make you change yours just trying to help you see it from a different point of view. I'm also pretty young and I know the feeling of being sad about something you had no control over, like the time you were born in for example. Just thought I'd share that.
I live that era first disco party 1976 all those tunes great but not only that mixed with salsa of the era , I was 14 yrs sneek in bycicle left at buddies house and up we went no ipod no videos no MTV no cable those were the days, half the school was there and we were under age
Still a jump up and dance your ass off song didn't realize it was released in July 28, 1979 geez am I that old! Was thinking mid to late 80s! Damn time flies!

yawn
I was in awe the whole time! Fantastic talent!
There is nothing as modern or ancient dance, dance is dance. Period.
This is one of the most powerful dance tracks that was ever made. MJ's best in my opinion. Pure soulful funk
This was the BIGGEST Black Single in Music at that point. IT HIT BIG back in 1979.
@@darrellmfume3513 And then... He had to come with the Thriller album a few years later. Legendary dance tracks.
👍🏾I'm gonna throw in " P Y T" too.Soul Train dancers really got down on that one too back in the day! I was right there watching on the tube every Saturday morning! 😃
@@elisageorge2261 I have to throw Off the Wall in too
Absolutely…it’s great that jazz funk is coming back again in pop now…u can see it in music from dua lipa, tove lo, Bieber, Bruno Mars etc
This era was definitely the best time….freedom and beautiful beautiful music ..glad I was there ❤️

you're sure right! I danced so much back there :)
And aids

Not to forget the amzing fashion rhaey all look so good
Never missed a Saturday of Soul Train. Saw so many great artists perform, what a show. I wish you love, peace and soul.
70s kid here- And nobody was outside playing while Soul Train was on!
Yep! I used to watch this after Saturday morning cartoons. 😊
My mom danced on soul train aug 1978....said she had so much fun..
What vid im intrigued?
When MJ said he used to watch the Soul Train line dancers for inspiration he wasn't lying.
So much natural beauty in this video
I was thinking the same thing. Everyone is slim n healthy looking. The women are thin n very beautiful, n everyone seems to have a nice n pleasant attitude---- unlike today where to many people have opted for that so called ghetto n or gangster attitude.
And that makes me the 3rd person thinking the exact same thing! Wow, so it must be true. Black people had nice shapes back in the seventies, what happened? Most of them are fat now. What did they put in the food these days?
P
Agree. No extensions, no weaves, No breast or butt enhancements !!
Plastic surgery ! not food ! amazingly some black women today are going to get bigger breasts & butts!!
This was the freshest thing on television
I cried watching this. Made me nostalgic for a time I never even lived. The music, those moves, they are fuckin living for everything they do. Damn.
your comment is everything💕
thats what i do,, still dance like it now,,,,haha,,, grew up too this,,,love it,,, miss is, good ole dayz
Same here. I was born in ‘92 and still miss the 80’s 😰
kathy williams : yes. And seems like people were more real and less fake than the people now... I need a time machine so bad!:(
Best time to grow up ever!
Seeing all of the happiness on their faces and expressing themselves through dance. Then I look at what's happening today. :(
whats happening today was happening back then too ...
@@choberi stop nigga you jealous cause you depressed.
@@titoadarylljackson7036 stop nigga you just jealous that mj is better than prince
That’s because they’re sniffed about 8 lines of rocket fuel before they put on their dancing shoes that night
@@yomamaballsinmyw Nigga I'm better than Hell with demons MJ boi
All the women were dancing in heels... Amazing
Yes. They all danced on heals. Back then women weren't so damn fat. They could move on heals because they didn't have to drag a gut along.
Oh my God LMAO.....Heels and spandex use to do it for me sooooo bad....we were lucky to see the ladies like this and be with em back in the day...
Late 70's and the early 80's were the time women use to
dress very SEXY!!!!!! I was a kid at the time.
I was only a young teen in the early 80s but it was quite a show --- I remember going to the local mall and it seemed like every woman was thin and sexy and dressed to impress --- I wish I coulda got a boner back then!
You guys are all dumbasses.
Look at how much fun we used to have without shooting each other!
Look how healthy our Elders were.
Now people are disrespecting them. It angers me
Yes. We had a healthier mindset back then. I believe what we feed our minds shows up in our bodies too.
@@sbella6719 yes. My mama, who loved this show, lived to be 90. She ate nothing but soul food, no preservatives, no fast food, and no microwave. Not saying that’s the reason but could be.

Prince came on the scene in 78 or 79...I think he had some pretty good songs for dancing, too.
agree 1000%!!! to also be a child singer and keep people liking you for forever...that's awesome :) i still love all his music, all the way to j5's first single :)
more soul train dance offs
Well, James Brown and George Clinton too, but damn nobody had a music career that spanned childhood through adulthood like Michael.
eternal0star you can say that again ! i miss you mike
This song has such an infectious groove. One of my MJ faves.
No phones, no clout chasing, no TikToks, just everyone PRESENT in the moment, one energy. Better times

Lots of cocaine too 😍 half these dancers did lines before coming on stage WOOOO
Nigga can you shut up about phones shit
Facts 💯
LOVE IT!!!! BRING IT BACK. IT'S HEALTHY FOR BODY, MIND AND SOUL!
👍👍😁Agreed!
Michael Jacksons music and voice is timeless. This was from the early 80s and still sounds awesome.
‘79 to be exact.
The music, the fashion, the hair styles...love it!!
pure joy. no synchro, no BS, pure fun
Best dance show and the best entertainer together. Soul Train and MJ go hand in hand.Awesome.
This brings a huge spontaneous smile to my face! 😃
😊
Love the unique style in clothing and freedom in their moves. Makes my soul come alive! Thanks for sharing!

One of the best group of dancers they've had on this show. This is awesome!
Finding this video was like finding 100$ on the street

Just think that they're all grandparents now
very true all grandparents now, I'm one of them..

Yeah, time marches on.
If we're lucky we'll all be looking back feeling the same thing.

Kenneth Evans YEP! "OOOO! JACOB WHAT YOU KNOW BOUT THIS MIKE?" next thing you know....grandma is in the ER
I remember this at 5 years old playing it over and over on my sister's record player.
MJ there will only be one of you.
These were the days! Everyone wearing their own style, free and happy!
When men weren't scared to dance and have fun. All they do now is mean mug, and stand against the wall.
And have multiple baby mommas. Lol
cozie4 actually if you research You'll find out that Tariq actually used to be a dancer himself..

UnidickOffical ! That is not Cheryl. By the early 80’s there was at least one other asian american lady that was a regular on the show. Don’t know her name but she did do the Scramble Board once.
Also that dude is not Cheryl’s dance partner.
Which asian couple?

I can remember vividly when this song came out. Summer of 79, and folks dressed like this. Good times
I'm so glad to have black family members too. Greetings from Brazil!❤
Wish I could walk into a club and see this going on these days. 😢
SPARKS
This kind of dancing was very common in the dance clubs in America from 1976 to 1984
I know!
You'll only see it at a family party.
@@fredwerza3478 no wonder people were slimmer back then. This is like 10 minutes of cardio lol
Miss the 70's and 80's. Good times. Love the way women were natural and beautiful. Really like the jumpsuit the lady at 1:24 is wearing.
I agree with you 100%. Women definitely looked better back then! I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that people remained natural…The way it was meant to be. Now you see women trying to look like men… And men trying to look like women… nobody even knows what the heck gender they are anymore!! 😂 I miss those old days when life was just a lot simpler.
@@jimbigboystoys4077 shut up
Damn the Asian couple was on fire!
Still not sick of this song.... 🎵 🎶 only been 50 years...😍😅
Good music, great dancing...I miss those times!
Me too!
0:30 he's busting out some serious moves right here.
Inspired by Travolta.
@@ethanang3527absolutely not, that’s black 70’s old school!
My parents back in the day...my dad would have been dancing in skates...fun times 😢
The best of the best what a hit pure clean music from the soul 2024 im still listening everyone enjoying themselves love it 🎸🎼🎙️🎷🎶👍🏻
Hell Yeah!!!!!! Great Era!!!!!! I'm 70, still Rock n Roll!!!!!!!!
Being a kid in the 70s was the best!
Those were some great tunes! Still beats today's " music" !!!
The world wasn't perfect in the 80s&90s, but going to the clubs, going to school, etc. made everything come together.✌️😁
this is so fantastic....the clothes, the music, the outrageous confidence everyone had in their dancing. wish we could get back to that now
Absolutely EVERY PERSON who danced in the "Soul Train" line really knew how to dance!! I used to watch this show when I was young, anticipating the day it would come on TV.
R.I.P. Michael Jackson & Don Cornelius!

I miss him. I can't wait until he returns. That's gonna be crazy!
Born in 91 and a LOVE watching old videos like this, listening to old music, classics, even folk music. I love that old school vibe like diners, drive in theater, poetry slams and settings like The Den (from Moesha) where people listened to artist and had a good time and eat or when people dressed up to go to the club like Ella Fitzgerald or Vivian Green on stage. Ahh take back to those times.
Seeing stuff like this makes me happy to be African-American.✊
Ikr?!💯💖💖💖💖👌🏾💯
Me too
@@prentissbelton7508 I'm not. I am a white man. And a tough one. And i Don't mug people in the street and do drugs, unlike some particular races.
@MrJosCHEWa yeah soul to mug people, soul to kill people and soul to sell drugs. Right you are.
@@muchentuchen6592 you're a racist wanker !
Michael Jackson is awesome
Ok, let me clarify something to those of you who don't know: Michael had 4 Number one hits in a row on his first album...he was 11 years old. He was nominated for an Oscar and performed on the Academy Awards show when he was about 13 years old. By the time he was 25 years old he was in the Stratosphere looking down on other artists who only could dream of being as talented, famous and loved by so many as he was! So there's no need to compare him to anyone else because simply....there is and never will be anyone who can compare to him! How's that!?
all canceled by diddling kids
RESPECT.
Agreed
I had someone argue with me that Lady Gaga was just as talented and accomplished…
@@muricanmike lol but only after wearing a stake she did that 😂
Soul train loved the music & fantastic dancing !!! Great times .
I Love my People! 😃😃
Da couple in red at 2.31 killed it! Yaas! 😉😆😆
Even as a middle class young white girl, I loved watching & learning from Soul train more than A.BS. Still awesome moves to this day💜
It was "far-out"! Lol. Notice how classy everyone was? So much fun...no vulgarity, just happiness and freedom. Our youth have no idea...♥️♥️♥️
Same! More influential for me.
@@cherylwoodward🌹🌹🌹🌹
lolol that asian couple was killin it!! i miss soul train
Lord have Mercy!! Michael Jackson is in the House!!!❤️💃💃🕺🕺❤️
The man from 1:22 to 1:30 can not be slept on. He is nasty! 🔥🔥🔥💯
He sure is NASTYYYY ! Smooth
Exactly
It's great seeing them dance without no one asking what are you doing? These days you can't even have fun and dance without someone looking at u crazy
true..you should add the mobile phones and social media
Beautiful people enjoying life to its fullest with total freedom and no inhibitions.
Yes!!
Back when both women and men can have fun and express themselves

i wish i was born in this era 😒
I was, 73 to be exact, and as a kid in the 70's low crime, killin wasn't big at all, my parents and their friends partied and dance like no other decade, it really looked like they new how to let loose and have fun, unlike how things turned into, people are soo uptight now and don't really know how to let loose. sad af!
disco bear not in all of us my friend, I used to think like that as well.. most have no clue fam, it has to be relearned by the masses.
To every teen of this generation reading this, please make the most of your existence in the here and now and see the good in your generation. This was indeed a beautiful time but we were all born in the time God intended us to be in. Just be the change you want to see. I know we all have our opinions, and I'm not tryna make you change yours just trying to help you see it from a different point of view. I'm also pretty young and I know the feeling of being sad about something you had no control over, like the time you were born in for example. Just thought I'd share that.
you look good girl...enjoy your youth and your time as a young person...remember it only happens once..then its gone...you keep dancin beautiful....
Jalyssa Moss ugh me too😫😫😫
Late 70s, early 80's clubbing. Lots of drugs but nobody was spiking other people's drinks in those days. 😎
😁 One of my favourite songs
Got MJ's "Off The Wall" vinyl album for a birthday present as a girl from Mom & Dad - was over the moon.❤❤❤❤🤗

I saw Michael Jackson in concert in July 1988. He performed this classic song that night.
I know he tore the stage up!
