I had a long bead fringe curtain in my doorway, incense burning that gagged my parents, wore headbands around my forehead and fringed vests…. ✌🏼❤️ peace and love were existent. Not extinct.
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.
When black sistas were physically fit, feminine, friendly, funky & fine. No crazy colored wigs, no raptor claw nails, no weaves, no extensions. Just purely black & naturally beautiful. I reminisce.
@@BROTHERHOOD_OF_NOD1995 how about you shut up and stop pretending these were good times when there were still plenty of issues and people choose to dress themselves up is not one of them
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.
In California we called them naturals. You had a big natural, not a afro. Other parts of the county used the term afro. When I first heard it I was... What is that? Lol! Peace unto you from one of your old school elders.
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 RUclips has these videos!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Soul Train was so much cooler, better and funner than American Bandstand could ever imagine being !!! You don't see any Bandstand vids watching those dance moves!! These are timeless and will be played forever.... Thank You Soul Train !! 👍❤👍❤
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 😌
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.:-)
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.
I was 11 or 12 when this song came out, loved it and watched Soul Train on Saturdays to see the dancers. Now I noticed that everyone was so slim, not one overweight person.
Soul train was by favorite show.. on a Saturday with Don Cornelius awesome dancers.. better than bandstand.. this white guy love the show.. and the artists on it.. great memories
@Pia Spirit Warrior Soul Train hands down.. although I watched AB also, ST was way more entertaining....the dancers were everything. I agree, both the men and women got dressed up, some men wore suits. It went downhill in the 90s when clothes became very little... might as well say the women were half naked
Daaaamn! look at the height on those platforms at :37. They danced, twirled, stomped, swished, swayed and sashayed across the floor. Fashion rules be damned! More steve3, grazi!
HAPPY TIMES. used to walk and dance in those platforms. not sure how i did it. love this show. we were happiest because no matter what was going on in the world we had the music and the dancing to offset all of it. we need this back. simple fun happy times. no internet , no cell phones, no social media.. its time for all of that nonsense to go. we would all be alot happier.
My mom didn't approve of Soul Train and I wasn't allowed to watch it, but I did anyway when she wasn't around. The dance line was always my favorite part of the show.
This makes me so happy 😁 such great memories of this era!! And hands down, the absolute BEST afros. 😁💯 The platforms and bell bottoms and bling… everyone free to be themselves and love each other’s differences. WTF happened to us 😢😢
I love this song.Probably have not heard this since this.How lucky were we anyways.American Band Stand ,Soul Train,Midnight Special,Don Kirshner"s.Good Times,Good Music.
I LOVE SOUL TRAIN IT WAS THE JAM . EVERY SATURDAY I COULD NOT WAIT FOR IT TO COME ON . EVERYONE COULD DANCE THEIR ASSES OFF . THE 🎶 MUSIC WAS GREAT 70S THE FASHION AFROS . LORD HAVE MERCY IT WAS THE BEST TIME. EVERYONE LOOKED SO HAPPY 😊 AND NATURAL . WE ARE SO BEAUTIFUL BLACK PEOPLE AMEN AMEN HALLELUJAH 🙌 THANK YOU JESUS.
Black and white watched Soul Train, it came on right after Bandstand on Saturday morning. We just liked good music then and we all got along fine. I’m 64 now and I wonder what happened, why is it going backwards? We all know the answer.
That's Why Mz Cali knew Who Was On The Up & Up in Those Day's! Right On! Mz Cali U've Alway's had Bit of Soul & Class and Style. SHE can Thank 😊 Those of You Who 😍 Watch Her Grow - Grow-Up..... Over The Year's! ANO.

OMG!! The clothes...the shoes...the dance moves. The level of coolness of the 1970s is out of control!!!
I had a long bead fringe curtain in my doorway, incense burning that gagged my parents, wore headbands around my forehead and fringed vests…. ✌🏼❤️ peace and love were existent. Not extinct.
Everyone doing their own thing and it all came together as ultimate coolness!
I remember as a child growing up watching this on TV then going outside and try to dance the same, we were poor but its the happiest I've ever been.
Amazing how poor but happy we were!
Awesome!!
Word
I hear you.
You might have been short with money but you were rich in the things given to you from above
I grew up watching Soul Train every Saturday at 11 am. Those were some good days. 🎶🎼🎵🥁🎹🎺🎻🎷
Me too!! ✌🏼❤️ 💃🏻
Soul train is a gold mine for dance moves to learn.
Totally!
Still todays can!

@@e.Lartigau BIG WORDS ! - BUT I AGREE 😊
Even today.
…And fashion, don’t forget the fashion.
These dancers are good looking, fun to watch, and the fashions are crazy awesome.
I just loved the 70’s, styles, music, funk . Take me back
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.

Took you back further @0:55 and 1:55!

Oh shut up and just enjoy the video
@of_all_days How about you shut up and let people Reminisce on good times
@@of_all_days A person can do BOTH!! Plus, we were all slim. Hey, what happened??
@@BROTHERHOOD_OF_NOD1995 how about you shut up and stop pretending these were good times when there were still plenty of issues and people choose to dress themselves up is not one of them
@@joannesheaffer9522 no you were not all slim that’s such a ridiculous ass lie
I grew up watching this on Saturday morning. RIP don Cornelius.
People back then where so freaking cool
Absolutely!!!
And they had more class.
Good times!
@@amycrumedy6586 ,I was little girl during the 1970s. Your comment is 💯Percent TRUE🙋🏾♀️
Yes they/we were...best decade ever.👏🏿👏🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿
I've fallen down a YT Soul Train rabbit hole and it's making my day.
Shannon KC omg hahaha I thought I was the only one! Saturday night, corona virus lockdown and here I am wishing I was an 18 year old in the 70’s 😩
🤭
I'm right there with you Shannon, I'm getting my Soul Train on right at this very moment!! :-)
Same. Loved Sat mornings, helped mom clean with Pine Sol, then at 1:00 o'clock I was allowed to watch Soul Train. If only we could go back in time.
Don't worry, Mrs. Fletcher. Help is on the way!
I'm 58 years old. I remember watching Soul Train. Those were good times!!!!
Jungle Boogie was one of the best soul/funk songs of the 70's. Those horns and that bass line with that funky singing.
There will never be another
Show like this.🤗🤗🤗
Wish they would bring it back!!! That's when dancing was hell of cool!!! I will always love old school.
I’ve noticed how healthy and slim everyone looks! Loved me some Soul Train!!
That’s because people were moving around and not sitting on their asses looking at their phones all day
@Littlehighwayhomestead Also, back then, there were no preservatives in the foods like today
Forever watching the souls train!! Love ❤❤❤
My favorite song when it came out!!! Played that 45 till it wouldn't play no more!!!

Everyone nice and slender...bbl were not needed.
I remember watching SOUL TRAIN growing up in the 70s. Love the music .Good Memories. ❤️🥰🎤🎵🎶🎼💃
2:06 DAMITA JO AND SCOOBY DOO!!! All time greatest couple in Soul Train. Damita Jo, bow down before the Queen 👑❤️👍
Them Afros were hella cool🔥
In California we called them naturals. You had a big natural, not a afro. Other parts of the county used the term afro. When I first heard it I was... What is that? Lol! Peace unto you from one of your old school elders.
I have one irl 😀😀😀
not all of them! quite a few of them were raggedy! lol!

Saturday morning Party we couldn't Waite for Soul Train nothing like this before they were killing it RIP Don Cornelius thank you for your vision
Our elders looked so healthy and happy. They were mature and that manifested in how they moved.
Thank you for that comment. We did have a good time back then .Blessings to you and ❤
This is my all time favorite Soul Train line. The outfits, the moves, it’s the best. When dude in the #1 shirt does the Fred Sanford, I go crazy.
I never missed this show as a kid!
Me either! I’m 71 now! 🎵listening now.
The 70's women clothes are back. My mother still had hers. I raid her basement all the time 🥰🥰💃💃
Hah!
Love the style back then 😀
I really hope that 70s clothing is making a revival. I'm yet to see women dressed in London like at 0:52 - 1:02. Incredibly stylish .
Lucky You!!!
...yes indeed you are styling....
Love my black folk....much love from El Salvador 🇸🇻
Those Soul Train dancers were something else.
I feel a thousand times better.
Knowing somebody dancing in they living room
What a time!!! As a twenty year old who loves pop culture I appreciate this so much!! The dancing is unmatched. Ah I just love this so so much
0:12 wow, her outfit is so cool!🔥
Damn, these people are just beautiful! Woah!
It is amazing how the body types are so different today from then. It went from slim to thick.
Why is it that older generations knew how to dance so well ? People under 30 don't have a clue
You should see dancers from the 30s, 40s and 50s
Y'all can too.
Choose da rite music😉
the best music 70s and 80s
We all can it’s just music nowadays got no rhythm at least not today’s mainstream
If you can’t dance just say that
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 😌
My era we had the best moves music n fun! The 60's n the 70's.
Wanda Corley i wish it would come back in spirit socially, people treated each other with so much more respect than they do today
It's in our human DNA. It just needs to be brought out and nurtured.
70s were so funky and priceless
Its nice to see how we groove & move back then now we're in our late 50 & 60s with those fund memories
Memories. Back when young folks could actually dance AND sing!
The woman in the green jumpsuit has the style and the moves!! ❤️❤️❤️
After Saturday cartoons this show came on growing up watch every week.
If we could turn back the hands of TIME....
In the words of Cher.
Back when people Par-Tayed. Before Wokeness spoiled everything..
i never get tired watching this videos,real beauty,happy people and very good dancers
THIS was the best. I used to watch this all the time. I miss it. They just don't do it like this anymore....
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.

Can’t. Stop. Watching.
Everyone had fun 🤩 miss those days
I learned all my dance moves from the soooooul train back in the 70’s. This brings back a lot of good memories as a young kid. Love Don Cornelius.
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.

I love this song so much. I bought the record, and made up my own moves. Boy, those were the days😁.
What's a record????? Lol..
45's for 99¢ at the Wherehouse or Licorice Pizza, if it was a Top 40 hit.
2:18.........
Jus look at dat na it's so funny
Wut da Bro doin on da ground aftah !?!🤣
Can't believe it's been about 50 years since that decade of dance fun. Thanx for posting
This is solid gold compared to the trash of today. How on earth do they pull crazy moves like that? What a joy to watch.
Funky music awesome....I’m Hispanic and love...soul..funky..
Every Saturday Night We Would Be In Front Of The TV Watching Soul Train..There Was Nothing Like It..Beautiful
Thank you.
The beauty is wondrous.
Blessings to all.
I love this song
This song will still shut a party down, to this day! Yeah!!!
Grew up watching soul train a one of a kind show
Soul train was by favorite show.. on a Saturday with Don Cornelius awesome dancers.. better than bandstand.. this white guy love the show.. and the artists on it.. great memories
Classy and didn't have to get half-naked or naked like today's trash music. I preferred watching this over American Bandstand.

Learn to dance from soul train back in 1979 ❤️❤️🤣🤣
Forgot how much I used to enjoy Soul Train. Thanks for the upload.
Have the laws of gravity changed since the 70’s?? Folks were able to slide and glide across the floor so much more effortlessly
cos they were not all huge because of refined carbs
The Moonwalk is Exhibit A.
Not much fast food in their diets people were still getting home cooked meals and Sunday dinners.
@@amycrumedy6586: And no super size meals or snacking all day on junk food.
@@amycrumedy6586 And God and FAMILY still existed. Black boys grew up with their fathers and discipline.
This used to be the coolest show in town! Its hilarious to see now! LOVE those giant 'fros!
Here during Quarantine!! 2020
Those were the days! Used to dance 'til I hurt and kept on dancin'!
Slim, trim and fast, great dancers❤️
Daaaamn! look at the height on those platforms at :37. They danced, twirled, stomped, swished, swayed and sashayed across the floor. Fashion rules be damned! More steve3, grazi!
My Little Brother and I were Late for School because of This Song! Still Love It!
My god, they were all so THIN!!
Incredible,fantastic, amazing, the moves, the clothes, I’m speechless 😶
Ah the music the dances the fashions the fun.....I sure miss that time of life
