I just wish there was a time machine where I can go to the hair salon. I love the hair styles back then, no weaves just your natural hair. You can tell the hair stylist actually cared about your hair.
Yes. Most of us were very physical back then. The girls jump rope (double dutch), dance,gymnastics. Almost ALL us guys played basketball,softball,football. This was also the start of the Kung Fu era.
The fashion was so camp and over-the-top it was almost like they were wearing costumes that they wouldn't normally wear outside the studio in public. But they did. All those wild, loud outfits could be seen on the street any day of the week.
I went to school during that era and this is how most young people looked whether they took dance or not. Obesity amongst younger people was almost unknown.

It was great how the Soul Train dancers were always experimenting with new dance moves and also clothing. It didn't always work out and sometimes they looked goofy, but nobody judged and it was always fun!
Great comment! No Judgement! If social media were around back then, you would see a lot of judgement! The fun would have been diminished! ❤😎👏👍🏽💕💗❤️💟🌸🌼🌻🤍
The 70’s had the best soul train lines and the only ones I watch, I’m a 90’s kid and I don’t even watch the ones from that era cause their nothing like the ones from the 70’s and early 80’s
Not only was Soul Train great and the dancers Awsome, the music is perennial. They lyrics to this song for example are off the charts and the vocals to match! What a great band! ✌
This was a time of Unity. No one looked at the color of your skin, only your dance moves! I listen to this music everyday to remind me how we AMERICANS loved one another. Peace Love and Soul to our Nation.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
NOW, WHY HAVE YOU SAT THERE AND LIE. THE WHOLE 60S AND 70'S WAS ABOUT BLACK POWER, UNITY AND LOVE ❤ FOR THE BLACKS THOUGH OUR DANCING. WHILE AMERICAN BAND STAND DEMONSTRATED "WHITE SUPREAMIST". JIM CROW LAW AND SUNDOWN LAW JUST LEFT IN 1968 BUT, NOT ENTIRELY . MY BRUTALLY EXPERIENCES WITH COLOR SIGNS PUBIC RESTAURANTS , PUBLIC REST ROOM AND SCHOOLS ARE VERY VIVID. HOW DARE YOU BRING IN FALSE LIES SO THAT YOU AND YOUR KIND CAN FIT IN FALSELY. WHEN SOUL TRAIN FRIST AIR, PRIDE AND AND TOTAL CONFIDENCE SET IN ON THE CONSCIENCES OF MY PEOPLE. WHY, WOULD YOUR PEOPLE SEEK "REFUGE" ON RIGOROUS RACISM WHEN IT CAME FROM YOUR PEOPLE.
Yes. We enjoyed our differences...and gave room for others to be different. We wanted to see each person for who he/she was. Not surface race/skin. Even in to the 90s Michael Jackson said "I don't want to live my life being a color" In the 70s KC could be "black"...Charley Pride could be "white".....and we laughed at ourselves for limiting people because of their skin.
@@Michelle-pn9xt We Stuck TOGETHER 👈 We Cared about one another 👈. We weren't just worried about ourselves, but the community and the world around us👈. That's the difference between back then and now. Back then, we called it, "Black Consciousness", and because it was a good thing, it was celebrated. Today, it's called "WOKE"👈.
You would have loved it, it was a time of turmoil but black families stuck together and treated their neighbors child like their own, I still look out for anyone or their child black or white, but in those days, you knew that love was there for our people if nothing else. We need to find that again.

On this day in 1974 {March 3rd} "Mighty Mighty" by Earth, Wind and Fire entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #95; and ten weeks later on May 12th, 1974 it peaked at #29 {for 1 week} and spent 15 weeks on the Top 100...

@@jsuchaldy9690 I don't need to reach. You said "my people" and "our people" after you explicitly mention black families. Maybe you don't even realize the implication of your words. Your words of discrimination combined with the topic of black families implies you harbor racist views. The circumstantial evidence is on you. I didn't say anything about Soul Train. I'm talking about your choice of words. Maybe you aren't racist, but you are using words that make you sound racist.
I tell my kids in their 30's this all the time. Wish y'all could know true freedom and fun like we had back then. Don't even get me started about roller skating every Friday night!
Those were the best days. We danced a lot, most of the brothers had long hair and wore their hair in plaits or in an afro now they are all bald or wear very short hair cuts. An, they were confident in who they were. Drugs and destructive cultural behaviors changed that.
Not only the amazing dancing, but the fashions and hairstyles. Wow!!! You can see why the disco era took off in the mid to late 70s cross culture, trying to recreate this.
So; how can you pick a particular dance couple as THE best, when they all have great rhythm ?? They were indivual, with their own style. Not to mention, this song has sensational funk !!
Earth Wind and Fire long-lost forgotten classic! Great video. Nice punch at 01:34 (well spotted Hero AM)... EWF have a new album out in the UK on 7 October 2013... still going strong!
I Love the Hair Styles & Fashions and everyone has an individual Look. Today, the 20 somethings look like street fluzzies and the dudes like bald headed drug dealers and they all look alike. Gone are the days of Creative Personality.

Damn Black folks can dance,...just come natural. Love when sisters had their beautiful naturals
Yea awesome moves! Their bodies flow with the music. Some ppl look so awkward and stiff. It dont come natural.

YEA ? I'M 4
Ston, that's Benny we were all skinny back then.
Unlike the fat kids today sitting in front of computers munching junk food...
Said it before and I will say it again " God bless you soul train"
The fashion was so camp and over-the-top it was almost like they were wearing costumes that they wouldn't normally wear outside the studio in public. But they did. All those wild, loud outfits could be seen on the street any day of the week.
I had forgotten how popular patched denim was. In jeans, jackets, etc.

Still wondering who looks more effeminate the guys or the girls.

This is great! Earth Wind and Fire on Soul Train! It's hard to beat that!!
They were on Soul Train a lot since they are black and soulful.
EWF never appeared on Soul Train some of their music was played, it took awhile for them to appear on TV for political reasons
This stands as a testament to how cool my parents' generation was.

So many styles, pure joy, soul. Damn, if i could go back to those times, i would without hesitation nor regret.
Glad I was around in this era. The music, dance, and community spirit is nothing like it is today or will ever be!
That's the truth. Most people in today's world are out for themselves. No unity. No village helping to raise the kids. Just plum insanity...

They were also in better shape because they got up and moved.
