I love the whistle in the backround. It just screams 70's. "You Should Be Dancin" was a perfect Soul Train line song. Just the right tempo for those who know how to move & groove to the beat.
So proud of Soul Train it gave us brotha's and sista's growing up in the hood a show to be inspired by back the day. Every Saturday was clean the house and watch Soul Train before you did anything, big ups to Don Cornelius and all dancers
My lord, the fashion was so fabulous! And the dancing just makes you happy to watch...love dancing and trying to replicate these moves! (Most of them were pros)
I disagree. I watched from early 70s until 90s. The beginning it was high school and college kids. Maybe later you had a some pro dancers. But majority weren't professional especially in the 70s.
I learned a lot of dance moves by watching this show. Love the line up part. This was a great disco song back then. I am glad I lived then and got to have a good time in life. Everything seemed so much more free then, unlike today.
RIP Don Cornelius. Thank you for creating something for 'us' that ended up crossing boundaries and barriers. Thank you for creating Shalamar giving Jody Watley and Jeffrey Daniels to, reminding us and teaching us with the scramble board, black pride with the afro sheen commercials and all that. Thank you and all of the dancers that made us want to get our funky boogie. We watched to see what to wear and how to dance. Love, Peace and Soul
Can't say I agree ... they were one of my dad's favorite groups ever. And if you look at their chart history, several of their singles - including this one - were huge R&B chart hits. Plenty of black folks loved the Bee Gees.
So incredibly well said! Disco was all about unity and losing the boundaries, that's what made it so beautiful! Plus this song kicked ass! Even if it was the BeeGees,
Those were the days! And you had Bandstand, too. The good vibes just flowed continuously! There are no shows like this anymore. Dancing With The Stars doesn't count!
Saturday Night Fever should have been made with black people !!! We wouldn't be able to dance without you !!! Most white people still can't even clap on beat !!! And I'm white ! But I do have rhythm!! Thanks to my parents who were Arthur Murray dance teachers back in the day !! Thank You Soul Train, for giving me all my greatest dance moves !!! 👍💃❤
Tjis was just a woderful time in life when it was all about dancing, and having a good time, no drugs,and no violence, just move your body to the music. DC, and Bmore clubs were the best.
NIGHT CLUBS WITH THIS KIND OF ENERGY WHERE PEOPLE REALLY DANCED. THAT WHISTLE AND SIREN ENHANCES THE DANCING EXPERIENCE. I KNOW, I AM GEN X.....BEST TIME OF MUSIC LIKE THIS. I WAS AN ANTUAL DJ FROM THE 80'S AND 90'S....
I heard from interviews that Don kept a tight reign on behavior in this studio. Any slight trouble-making would get you booted. It was a very select group.
That's Jeff Daniel and Jody Watley before they were in the group Shalamar. Jeff Daniel is notable for having influenced the popularity of the moonwalk during the 80's, and for his dancing/choreography work with Michael Jackson
How things were much simpler and everyone was happy with music and dance.... They should revive the show but do we have the right music nowadays? Things just are not the same anymore after Michael and Whitney are gone Being nostalgic...
Absolutely tideoftime. Well said. I'm Black and loved the Bee Gees' new sound. I remember hearing them on the R&B station where I grew up. By the way, AqauriusCampio, I didn't grow up in the hood. I don't understand why being Black has to be synonomous with "the hood"...
Suzette DuPont when folks actually danced ( and by that I mean going for what they know even if it wasn't much instead of being just stuck in a two-step or looking like a lazy log)
barry gibb said of all he was soo happy to have his music on soul train... he was a real brother when it was played
@@-LivingProof jill 7
That song is still a jam
Love that! The Bee Gees were true soul brothers, they did it right! 🕺🏿
He was also MJ's best friend 💙🤍🙏🏽
Amen my son x
The bee gees are soul brothers. we love the bee gees. they could really jam.. this was one of my fav songs
happy times. no internet , no cell phones, no stupid social media. it all needs to go. we need the music and dancing back in our lives....
I never tire of watching the old Soul train videos..
I love the whistle in the backround. It just screams 70's. "You Should Be Dancin" was a perfect Soul Train line song. Just the right tempo for those who know how to move & groove to the beat.
Listen to Debbie Jacobs "High on your love".
that whistle comes form brazilian carnivals
@@corsicanlulu Yes. From
What this song needs is more cow bel...no, no, more disco whistle.
So proud of Soul Train it gave us brotha's and sista's growing up in the hood a show to be inspired by back the day. Every Saturday was clean the house and watch Soul Train before you did anything, big ups to Don Cornelius and all dancers
Agreed ☺️
I still love soul train to this day at age 76!!!

Still love them at 65
Those were the best of tv

That's what I call having fun and enjoying music, not like the crap we listen to everyday nowadays.
This comment remains relevant today in 2021!
Amen

Yessss
That Sailor dress is so fierce! i love the 70s! and im an 80s baby!
Bee Gees Was Black Soul Music too. Great dancers on the stage. Thanks. .

Groovy times, peaceful times, cool times, fun times, mellow times ect
Beautiful young people. A more innocent time.
+Fly Rod Bass Bum i would not say " an innocent time " instead , but people at that time were more respectful
Not really. Lots of drugs. Like today.
Beautiful heroine a scary time
Yes. The 1970's were my favorite times. Lots were happening.
@@jaysonbiggs8979 No internet. Everybody was not saturated with pornography and rage.
RIP Mr. Don Cornelius, you gave us Soul Train and for that, we'll always come on chucking.
Can't say I agree ... they were one of my dad's favorite groups ever. And if you look at their chart history, several of their singles - including this one - were huge R&B chart hits. Plenty of black folks loved the Bee Gees.
LOVE seeing the Soul Train dancers dancing to my favorite group's song. Bee Gees forever!
You got that right. I listen to the Bee gees now.
everyone smiling and having a good time. good to see.
So incredibly well said! Disco was all about unity and losing the boundaries, that's what made it so beautiful! Plus this song kicked ass! Even if it was the BeeGees,
The Bee Gees totally ROCK!
💜
the soul train dancers could dance to anything---they were awesome dancers!!!!
Those were the days! And you had Bandstand, too. The good vibes just flowed continuously! There are no shows like this anymore. Dancing With The Stars doesn't count!
These were the time of Incredible music, dancing, clothes and incredible SOUL BABY!!
These women show how you can be classy and sexy without falling out of your clothes or showing a lot of skin. RIP Mr Don Cornelius. We appreciate you.
Wow they clowning towards the end lol..... so much fun to watch!
I can't get enough of this video. I miss my childhood. I was about ten or eleven when this aired.
Please checkout my Disco music list.
Oh c'mon, whistles were common back then, we heard them all the time. ..during this thing called P.E.
P.E.....Wow...I remember that lol
If you remember the scene in Saturday Night Fever where Travolta dances to this song, there were whistles there too...
If whistles were common back then. Than Its amazing there wasn't more murders at Night Clubs in the 70's.
@@Lone432345 There's more angry gangsta music nowadays ..so kids are now Kling each other & disrespecting their parents.
I keep coming back to this video years later just for the dude at 2:04! My man KILLS it with the locking! LOVE IT! Can't get enough of it! 😆😆😆
That’s aretha franklins son eddie franklin
I feel like smiling when I see this.
I smile so hard my cheeks ache! 😁
Dejeo'n Fikre I smiled too
This reminds me when I was young tall dark and handsome now I'm old short , and more handsome then ever but when I dance I still spin like a top
:)
This white boy loved Soul Train!
It's my sweet memory in my childhood even for Japanese.
Omg those maxi dresses! Love it!
Why do all these soul train videos give me good energy? I was SO born in the wrong times!
Man I miss these days
That dude at :56 with the pop locking tie move is epic!
I agree, his robot glide was crazy! I've never seen anybody do it so good! seems like the dancers back then are better than the dancers of today
exclusivestuff I agree with you. They made those types of dances more fun and less complex than it is now.
That was Jeff
I know, I watched it over and over
Warren Henry II ... Jeffery Daniels from Shalimar
Hell yes !! I use to love this show !!
Back when your grandparents were 100 times cooler than you could hope to be.
💯 when people had class 🧡✨
The guy at 1.28 is a smooth looking, hip popping,disco brotha!
Saturday Night Fever should have been made with black people !!! We wouldn't be able to dance without you !!! Most white people still can't even clap on beat !!! And I'm white ! But I do have rhythm!! Thanks to my parents who were Arthur Murray dance teachers back in the day !! Thank You Soul Train, for giving me all my greatest dance moves !!! 👍💃❤
Tony Manero shat himself when he saw this!
Lmaoo!
They are all LOOKIN' SO GOOD!
I love watching Soul Train dancers.
I do too!!
Everyone is so thin and dancing so cool and easy going
I didn't even notice the whistle. The cat with the tie at 56s is my hero!!!
Tjis was just a woderful time in life when it was all about dancing, and having a good time, no drugs,and no

merle brant no drugs?...umm..yeah okay, if you say so.😂😏
@@blueberrycobbler what do you know?
wowowo amazing i wish i lived back then!
NIGHT CLUBS WITH THIS KIND OF ENERGY WHERE PEOPLE REALLY DANCED. THAT WHISTLE AND SIREN ENHANCES THE DANCING EXPERIENCE. I KNOW, I AM GEN X.....BEST TIME OF MUSIC LIKE THIS. I WAS AN ANTUAL DJ FROM THE 80'S AND 90'S....
LOVE the West Coast Swing from the second couple (0:16)!!! Thanks for posting this fun stuff.
Oh man blew my mind!!!!
Jeffrey Daniels and Jody Watley, members of Shalamar, at around :57.
Wahoo!!! Love it! Music, moves, clothes and shoes, in that order!
Like looking through a telescope to another world. Funnily enough I remember it all happening though. Seemed like better days than they probably were.
Love the pants..seriously love the pants and the goucho pants with the boots. Wore those a lot. Very comfy and stylish even now. :) thanks for posting
Oh how I miss those days of youth!! 🥰
wow i love the whistle..
When guy unzipped his suit pulled his tie out to the side and shimmied sideways 😂😂😂 cool as fck
yeaaaaaaah oldschool poppin&locking :D
I love the guy doing the robot at 0:55 !
You can't go anywhere these days without a fight breakin out. Good ol' days.
Difference is though, this is on TV.
I heard from interviews that Don kept a tight reign on behavior in this studio. Any slight trouble-making would get you booted. It was a very select group.
You have no idea what you are talking about, especially being this was a TV show... I'm sure a fight was going to break out.
That whistle's driving me nuts!
People stop arguing and watch and enjoy the frickin' video!!!
Very cool 😎🎵
real music
real dance
Dude with the tie killed it
They look like they are having so much fun... i was 4-5 when this song came out i remember everyone dancing when this song came on!
EGADS!!! Check out those bell-bottoms. I miss this show...
2:28 was too funny lol... Man I miss this show!
I am officially done...this was too good...
See this man @ 56 sec. awesome robot.
That's Jeff Daniel and Jody Watley before they were in the group Shalamar. Jeff Daniel is notable for having influenced the popularity of the moonwalk during the 80's, and for his dancing/choreography work with Michael Jackson
Luv the energy !!! awesome :)
Excellent. Loving it all the way.
That whistle blower BLOWS! (hear it?) Totally taking away from the great dancers and such an Amazing song!
Spazzzzzzzattack!!! 🎉
Loved Soul Train! The 70s were my favorite. The guy at 2:20 looks like one of the members of The Whispers. One of the twins.
Looks like Scotty.
Awesome! What a great time! Wish I was there
God I miss those days. I promise the ladies had good knees..😃👆
If i could only move like the Kat at 2:04 ...Awesome!!
The Bee gees great time to be living disco year 1976 you should be dancing Soul train hosted by Don Cornelius I'm glad I was alive
How things were much simpler and everyone was happy with music and dance....
They should revive the show but do we have the right music nowadays?
Things just are not the same anymore after Michael and Whitney are gone
Being nostalgic...
Revive the show with this music & 80s music, would be nice.
Music not the same ... 70-80’s good dance music!
The Soul Train line had the most creative dancers ever seen on TV. Check the guy with the tie doing the robot.
*I wish I was at this party*
**** Awesome ****
Thank you, Soul Train and The Bee Gees.
Thank you!
Absolutely tideoftime. Well said. I'm Black and loved the Bee Gees' new sound. I remember hearing them on the R&B station where I grew up. By the way, AqauriusCampio, I didn't grow up in the hood. I don't understand why being Black has to be synonomous with "the hood"...
That was serious! Love the soul.
I can't be the only gen z watching and enjoying it...
Amazing !!!!
Some beautiful sisters-WOW
I enjoyed the men in their 'tight" pants! 😉 TFS!
And remember when they unbuttoned their shirts, too :)
i just the found the theme for my 30th birthday!!!
When dancing was FUN!!!
Suzette DuPont when folks actually danced ( and by that I mean going for what they know even if it wasn't much instead of being just stuck in a two-step or looking like a lazy log)
@@TSquared2001 lmaooo!🤣
Suzette DuPont dancing is still fun
ahh..soul train in the 70s..man i wish i had a time machine..i cant stand these days anymore
Talent that just came natural no dance lessons
Good times all the way!
Remember those times we hade alot of fun 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love this song in the soul train line
This was good clean fun! Miss those days.
Best times love the DISCO so does my girl
That right. And some of us white kids watched Soul Train every Saturday morning & listened to black artists as much as to white ones.
This is when people could actually dance and had style
@0:55 Jody Watley & Jeffrey Daniels!!! A few years before The Soul Train Dancers were doing the Soul Train Line to their music as Shalamar!!!
The only dancing disco song that brought the revolution in black and the gays
