The 70's had to be the greatest time in history for music and entertainment. I can remember when no one was outside when Soul Train came on because we all wanted to watch all the dance moves. Miss those times.
I don't think I've ever met someone that didn't like Soul Train, it was pure fun and let's face it "Funk" is one of the best musical arrangements ever invented. You want to throw a dance party? You go with Funk every time.
I'm a white girl and my family would always watch his and do the soul train line! It's the best thing ever! We still do it every now and again at small get togethers. So fun!
Same here! I am Irish and Scandinavian...really white, blue eyes, freckles but put on this...EWF, Parliament, Foxxy, you name it. I AM IN MY ELEMENT.i grew up in Boston and I was a sailor in the 80s and it did not matter cause at the base club, we all dance x together. Music should be an equalizer and color blind! I just hear the beat and I am transported! We never thought about color...just great dance 💃 beats!;We need to get back to that way of being. Let's just be kind and respectful to each other! It should be simple..treat people the way you want to be treated! GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸 🙏
We all know our parents or grandparents were in the club doing these moves. The thing is they all made it home. There were rarely any altercations, feuds, guns, paramedics or the ER. Good music & good vibes
That may be survivors bias. If you are talking the 50s yes, but the 70s had a very high murder and crime rate. I have read and learned that the main difference was that is was all about business people did connect better.
Folks don't know how big this song was. The Dazz band started off in Cleveland, Oh. Named after the Kinsman Bar & Grill. I lived two blocks away. Look it up. I was there. Right across the street was Mt. Pleasant Bar- B- Que. The Soul Train dancers LOVED this song. Can't you tell? It was a monstrous hit.
I think a lot of them got stuck trying to figure out what move to do first because this song is so electrifying. I love this song, and I went to an HBCU. There’s nothing like watching the majorettes whip to this.
Facts I grew up in the 70s and we would take trips to Cleveland from Arkansas family been there for over 60 plus years and that's how I know of the Dazz band and their music was pure funk!
Those were the days. When they danced with rhythm and class. They were the best dancers on TV. I believe in the whole world. This is just my opinion. And everyone copyed there dancing. God bless them for bringing us soul train. 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️💋🙋
That is just outrageous dancing, in an era when men and women could make those sorts of body moves and we'd watch with nothing but respect for their skill.
Some of us for sure can! People would dance a different style if a show like this would be done today. But there's a lot of young people who love to get down to 80s funk as well.
Remember watching Soul Train on Saturday afternoon back in the day and doing those same moves at the club that night! Glad my partying days were during this era!
"Let It Whip" is a 1982 single by the Dazz Band and their biggest hit, peaking at number one on the R&B chart for five non-consecutive weeks.[1] The single also reached number two on the Dance chart[2] and number five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[3] The song won the 1982 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance
Growing up I chose Soul Train over cartoons on Saturday and my parents quickly found a new way to punish or ground me they would take away my Soul Train privileges lol 😆😅
@@sachabois1744 LOL when I was 11 I would agree with you now I see what they were trying to do take away the thing I enjoyed the most and that would straighten me up in no time LOL
That is a good punishment. I would be devastated to not be able to watch my Soul Train.😁That was an every Saturday ritual in my house when I was growing up. I continued to watch it right up until it ended well into my adulthood. Such a legendary dance show!
I'm 40 yrs. old and I have seen the good days of our culture turn into what it is today. I know we, blacks, aren't the only ones to recognize this change. I'm overjoyed that more than us embraced our culture which is really American culture. I apologize for being curt. It just saddens me that this has become what many of our predecessors struggled and died for. As long as there is LOVE, there is a ray of hope for all.
Not hard to do;exposure is the key! Getting grandkids interested and exposed to a variety has been rewarding.Few kids ever heard country,jazz,classical or reagae music therefore are limited by choice.
I remember me and my Bros were kids and had a twin bed on each side of the room and this came on late night and we would dance down the isle in-between the beds when we should have been sleeping. Haha. Memories.
Hi I'm Wayne..whiter than white 😁 never missed a Saturday soul train episode. .loved every singer, music,dancers & R I.P. DON CORNELIUS PEACE,LOVE & SOUL TO ALL PEOPLE
I have always loved the funk. I am a white woman from Canada and I cannot get enough of this music. It is joyful and soulful and so much fun I can't stand it. Dazz Band, Isley Bros., EWF, O'Jays....etc. Keep it comin'
Don't ever forget " Solid Gold " it was all that too!...No-one could out dance Denny terrrio, I think I spelled name right, ya'll know who I'm talking about though, dude could truly dance!

We would literally stop playing ball with our friends in the streets to come inside and catch the Soul Train line. I'd rather see Soul Train brought back then Tik Tok any day of the week bruh.
I grew up in the Caribbean and Soul Train was legendary there! People in the islands watched Soul Train religiously on Saturday Mornings as well..we all wanted to see what was the latest dance move coming out of the USA! Big up Don Cornelius and Soul Train!
Whooooaaaa. This is what it was like when everyone in the room was into the music and each other and not standing there snapping a selfie or gazing into a smartphone!
In Dallas we didnt get American Bandstand which i was surprised it was still broadcasting in the 70's+80's i thought it was a relic from the 50's but We did get Soul Train!! I never missed a show on Saturday Morning after watching Cartoons!! Those Folks danced the way i wish i could!! Good Memories!!😊😊😊
There is nothing greater in the history of music (nay, of mankind) than this video. Love the lady at the very end with the Valley Girl/Shakespearean pumpkin hose/side ponytail look. Thanks for posting this!
I would trade twerking and standing around at parties/clubs to be in you all's time on Soul train and party with you all's generation. I've always been an old soul lol
I remembers watch the soul Tran. Those are the great old days. No violence no drama no shooting ect….. miss old days. Wish time goes back. I’m in my mid 50s n I’m still enjoy watching the vidoes. Bring back good old memories.
Really no how too dance good for what it's worth they were letting the world think it's better if u dance and entertain people temporary soultrain. Held u in a magical hostage. While jefferdahmer been killing while this dancing going killing since 1978 and got caught 1994 decade later but soultrain took you too a whole knew level of holding you hostage. For a while. Intil..........
it happened roughly in the late 90's when originality got lost and everything became a copy of something prior. i was at the tail end of it all being born in 69, so i was part of the last generation. once 1995 hit it has been all down hill from there.

except this is 1982
@@xman777b Yes this was 82’, but Soul Train originated in the 70’s, so that’s what the poster was talking about.
1990s 🔥
I don't think I've ever met someone that didn't like Soul Train, it was pure fun and let's face it "Funk" is one of the best musical arrangements ever invented. You want to throw a dance party? You go with Funk every time.
I grew up in a white southern family but we watched Soul Train on the weekends. My mother like seeing what the folks were wearing.....lol
Right on my sister from another mother😊
I am over 70 and this still gives me fire.
Me too and I want to get up and dance.
The clothes! The moves! The attitude! This has gotta be one of my fave soul train vids!
I agree are you greek by the way
Amen to that
Me "fn" too!
I agree 100%!!! 👍🥰
I'm a white girl and my family would always watch his and do the soul train line! It's the best thing ever! We still do it every now and again at small get togethers. So fun!
🤣🤣
exactly wat is white, details
We were whiter than white but dad never missed watching Soul Train.
Hear, hear! If I weren't white and raised southern baptist, I'd probably be dancing right now. ;-)
All the men in my family watched because of the women dancing lol
Ahhh.... I like that. Ase'

I watched a lot of "Soul Train" too! ;)
I'm white too and 67 and still watching!!!
The groove and funk left with the 80's. No one dances anymore because the music today sucks - can't dance to it or feel it. Miss real music!
100% agreed
Shellie Sager This guy here: ruclips.net/video/UmK038mRb-g/видео.html
100,000% agree
Naw it went out round 85. What left before was disco stars who failed to adapt.
Ricky Cunningham This guy sure can feel it; ) ruclips.net/video/TcWPiHjIExA/видео.html
No iPhones, no drama -- just real people connecting and feeling the music. I am so glad I grew up in this time period
I wanna see them do my dance "the penguin!!!!"
No shit, talk about partying and beautiful women, I had my share!...lol!
I agree...these times were the best...I miss it.
@@michelleshaw95 we
I wish I grew up in this time. But I thankful I got to see the early mid and late 90s which was a dope time to me too.
I cry…. they’re all just having a good time together, dancing . Love this energy. Wish soul train was still a thing.
Soul Train was a Saturday morning education!
Yes it was i watched it every saturday morning loved it👍😀❤
Yes every Saturday!
Soul train and Kool-Aid
Me too and I’m a white boy!!

So true!!
My formative years before watching Fat Albert and then Miami Vice ! Fun times !! Who could not get into the groove of The Dazz Band ! : )
Life just seemed a lot more fun then, and it's not cos I am older. Music was just so much better !
ok
ambertjeblue thats how EVERY1 feels.....
ambertjeblue 70s 80s was/is tha best
YUPYUP
ambertjeblue u right
This song is fire, the dancers are smoke and Soul Train is gold!
Great old Days!!!!!! I'm 70, still Rock n Roll!!!!!!!!

Folks don't know how big this song was. The Dazz band started off in Cleveland, Oh. Named after the Kinsman Bar & Grill. I lived two blocks away. Look it up. I was there. Right across the street was Mt. Pleasant Bar- B- Que. The Soul Train dancers LOVED this song. Can't you tell? It was a monstrous hit.
My muzzin Eric Fearman was in the band. He is now a minister in Cleveland with a church.
I think a lot of them got stuck trying to figure out what move to do first because this song is so electrifying. I love this song, and I went to an HBCU. There’s nothing like watching the majorettes whip to this.
Facts I grew up in the 70s and we would take trips to Cleveland from Arkansas family been there for over 60 plus years and that's how I know of the Dazz band and their music was pure funk!
I missed those day gosh man
When life was great and music was fun to listen to without anger.
Those were the days. When they danced with rhythm and class. They were the best dancers on TV. I believe in the whole world. This is just my opinion. And everyone copyed there dancing. God bless them for bringing us soul train. 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️💋🙋
Idk, Solid gold dancers were pretty good too
The beat, the feel. People are missing human interaction. Love it!
That is just outrageous dancing, in an era when men and women could make those sorts of body moves and we'd watch with nothing but respect for their skill.
And buss our behinds trying to copy their moves
Agreed, dude.
amen.
Wishing I could go back to the good old 80s😭😭
Back in the Day everybody loved Soul Train & we still do...
I wish they would bring this back except I don't think today's 20's can dance or have fun without their phones. These people are COOL!
Are without being vulgar!
same!!!
Some of us for sure can!
People would dance a different style if a show like this would be done today. But there's a lot of young people who love to get down to 80s funk as well.
Bringing it back will never work, now days people are nasty.

Yep - Saturday mornings in the 80's - eat breakfast, and watch Soul Train - which gave me enough energy to mow the lawn and do all the other chores!
This song is a TIMELESS Banger!
"And y'all can bet your last money, it's all gonna be a stone gas, honey"! RIP Don Cornelius

You ain't lying!
It was one of the reasons I watched!
Both sexes whipped it .
Candy Girl lmao these women were nuns compared to todays women 😂
Hell yeah..making this white boy say Oh My!
These were great times. What happen to society today? Thank goodness good dance tunes survive and us older people are still grooven to them. ✊🏻
No twerking and everyone had their own style instead of all looking the same . Seriously, what a time period I would love to live in

No high fructose corn syrup, no silicone nor liposuction. Just all natural fun.
