Former Soul Train Dancer, Louie “Ski” Carr shares his dance story and how executive producer Timiza Sanyika found him and other dancers for her BET mini-docs series
When I was a teenager, yes decades ago, I would watch “Soul Train” on TV. I lived in an all-white neighborhood, attended an all-white school and didn’t really interact with Black people until college. Don Cornelius, RIP, was suave, the sound quality on my parents’ TV was shit, and the dancers were impossibly fun to watch. On a sunny, late-summer day like today, I will put a CD (I told you I was old) in the stereo (much better quality than the massive RCA console in our family room) and spend an hour with the O’Jays or Earth, Wind, and Fire.
Man, this guy was/is an iconic character in every sense of the word ❤
I never missed Soul Train! I loved that show when I was young.
Soul Train was everything!! 💯 Love me some Ski Carr😍
