While I haven't seen the Playboy doc re: Don, I CAN speak for myself. The things being said in this video in regards to me...did NOT happen. Some of the comments are absolutely absurd and slanderous.. .Not only are these old rumors unfounded, but some of you are starting NEW ones. I moved in with Don??? I dated Jennifer Beals??? (that one, not so bad, lol) I was recruited from local L.A. high schools??? and on and on. SMDH. I find it appalling that my people can so easily perpetuate things that "they heard" (rumors) never knowing or giving a shit about whether what they heard is true or not. I guess none of you "well educated" know everything ass people bothered to read or keep Ashleys disclaimer in mind while listening to this shit. Remember this: "I am not sure what’s true or false in this video, I am just here to take the gossip and scandal from online, books, magazines, word of mouth, etc., and tell you guys a story! 🙂 This is all for entertainment purposes." Obviously NOT. And yet we wonder why we can't get ahead as a community. Wake up, you're part of the problem. Meanwhile, I do exist and you CAN holla at a black man who is still alive to defend himself. facebook.com/obryanmedia
Thank you for leaving this comment O'Bryan and clearing up many of these rumors! We appreciate you reaching out and I will pin this comment up top so people can see this truth. I am saddened that you take offense to the video but still am true to my word about letting people tell their story of their own lives. Thanks again💕
EDIT: Also if you would like to reach out in a more private setting I would be happy to clear your rumors especially since they are coming from the horses mouth, that's MUCH better than gossip, feel free to email me at Ashleysaysso20@gmail.com
Hello @@AshleySaysSo20and thank you. The first half of what was said about me is somewhat true. But there's plenty of legitimate interviews and bio out there to explain that meeting, so I won't waste words here. However, the second half about Don trying to get at me sexually and blackballing me throughout the industry is straight nonsense. I don't know everything about Don and have never claimed to; But I do know about what I saw during my business days with him and NEVER saw any of this behavior. Funny thing is, I'm not so offended by the video as one might think. Hell, it's the first time the damn rumor is that I stood my ground. Guess I could be happy about that right? But I'm not, because it still slanders and portrays Don in a negative light. He did NOT pursue me nor did I ever see him pursue any men in any shape, form or fashion. Ever. He had a woman when I met him and behaved like a normal heterosexual man throughout all of our dealings. But like I said, some of these commenters are just adding insult to injury and need to check themselves. Take care.
@@obryanmccoy438 thank you so much for your response! I will actually add this information into my next video since it is coming straight from you and I really appreciate you taking the time out to respond to me. Have a great day!
Hey, O'Bryan!! Your debut album is so special to me. I had a house party for my 13th birthday in April of 1982. "The Gigolo" was a huge hit at the time and of course, it was played heavily at my party!!
I have not REALLY watched the Playboy documentary (I've recorded it), but I did I just tell my friend that it pi$$e$ me off that they are telling all of Don's secrets, but they're not naming the others; the WHITE ones. That is the reason that I am not an Oprah and Gayle fan. It seems they don't mind tearing down Black men (whether they're guilty as accused or not) while continuing to rub elbows with Whites who are accused of things, as well.
Glad to know you're still alive and well!!
#SoulTrainsAComin'
I came to tell you I love "tenderoni" so much! My mom enjoys it whenever "dazzling lady" comes on. Also your theme song for Soultrain was what got me interested in you back after highschool in 2005. I'm not someone who remembers hearing of you on the radio but I hope people keep discovering your work.
This sadistic behavior does not surprise me. A lot of Hollywood is sick. I do wonder what his relationship was like with his mother though...
This is better than Unsung! Please Ashley do a bio on Irene Cara, Harry Belafonte and the recently deceased, the great Sidney Poitier!
@William West Yes, even though she always provides a disclaimer on what is truth and fiction, she provides far more details on the entertainer's life. Which gives you a better idea of what often lead to their demise.
You should do DONNA SUMMER next. She really really is a LEGEND, she ruled the 70s with her hits and was Beautiful. But in comparison to her impact she’s not talked about enough. You should really really really do Donna Summer
Donna Sumner looked like a transvestite . A lot of people back then thought she was one.
@@garrettdavis6500 but she's not so why bring this up? People like you are so annoying 😒
Donna Summers came on the scene in 75' ...76'. Diana Ross ruled from 70'...79'
i think its also cause of how disco music is treate din todays music history. like almost every singer form the 70s is forgotten unfourtunatley
Maybe the people who feel so strongly about DONNA SUMMER, & Anybody else. You PROBABLY SHOULD DO IT. IT MIGHT BE FOR YOU TO DO, NOT SOMEONE ELSE. Stop putting YOUR Work off on Someone Else.
I learned of his sexuality in 1988 when my aunt worked in his building. She would see him often and spoke of how "feminine" he was. I'll never forget it, I was absolutely shocked.
My friends were rappers and appeared on soul train. They reflected the same thing.
And from his tv persona, I never would’ve guessed it.
@@MrJbee73which rappers

I remember the Boogie Monsters!
Ashley you are spoiling us! Elvis, now Don Cornelius, I’m loving the consistency! Much love & been a scandalite since day one💕
He was luckier than bill cosby😲😈drugs and alchohol🤔🤕 allegedly
Wow
James Brown was a sports broadcaster
I knew something wasn't quite right about Don Cornelius. When I was a teenager I was on Don's soul Train show when it started in Chicago in the early 70's. Don Cornelius, was mean, he would scream at us in a impatient nasty way. But when the commercial break was over and the cameras start rolling he would start acting nice, smiling and say "o.k. boys and girls" let's come together .....🤔🙄👺
That's interesting! Do you have any photos? Supposedly, those shows were never taped, according to Don Cornelius. However, I think someone behind the scenes has copies!? Basically, he had a split personality ( Dr.Jekell and Mr.Hyde)
Truth always comes out eventually
He was in a bad place psychologically to take his life the way he did. That is terrible!
As a young girl watching Soul Train there was always something about his demeanor that was strange to me. He had a dance show full of life but he appeared so lifeless. That's the best way I can describe it. I think something was bothering him way back then.
Yes
I agree with you. I wasn’t able to articulate it but I felt something sinister. I usually attribute it to a dysfunctional childhood, denial of sexuality, or self- hate. In his case it may be all 3 which is why I’m looking to find a biography written about him. Thanks Ashley❤️
Fortunately we know more about mental illness as every year passes. If these things are true and probably are; psychiatrist would diagnose Mr. Cornelius with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. You can look up videos about this condition on TH-cam. Essentially people who have self loathing will turn their anger outward onto other people. All of incidents described in this video fit the behavior to a tee. I would hope that in 2022 anyone experiencing abuse by such a person would report them. Silence equals enabling that person.
Self hate and hollyweird..money went to a WW
Did he take his life or did the Devil come for his soul?
Dolores Cornelius was the director of my son's Head Start program in Chicago. My son is now 41 years old. We got very close. As a parent I had to volunteer at her HS. She was a tall and very elegant, beautiful woman. I remember her telling me that Don left her and went to California. I don't know how long he had been gone. But I remember her tears. In fact, I bet if I look hard I know I have a couple of certificates with her name and signiture.
If this is true Don had a very dark demonic side. His demons ultimately got the best of him and had him take his own life. He was obviously evil as sin
One thing I’ve learned from watching Ashley’s videos is that there was waaaayyy too much woman and wife beating going on with these 70’s and 80’s r&b
ni$$a$.
It was almost as if it was the cool thing to do amongst them.
So sad.
That $hit with Tammi Terrell and The pointer sisters broke my heart for a minute.
A lot of that stuff was hella disturbing.
And a lot of the smooth r&b dudes that I used to respect did that mess.
I don’t like that.
Yes the pimp style
And drugs cocaine was the thing back then
I read that his second wife taking him to cleaners over the divorce was one of the driving forces to his suicide. Basically her alimony was draining any chance of inheritance for his biological kids. He was ordered by the judge to buy her a million dollar home as well as pay for her daughters college tuition and that wasn’t his biological child. That woman new she was marrying a meal ticket
Well..... we reap what we sow 🤷🏾♀️ She did the Dr Dre on him!
It happens each and every time yet look at who they call gold diggers.
@@brooklynqueen7089 I don’t feel sorry for them. When they get tired, they’ll change it. I just went through a custody battle for no reason bc he was listening to his new girlfriend. I’ve had my son for 10 yrs now, when asked why now he said he wasn’t sure the judge said “get sure”.
That WW took all the money
These men put themselves in that position what’s wanting a trophy and not a real woman
So glad O'Bryan did not compromise his beliefs! O'Bryan 💕
He’s on the comments going off
That’s not what I heard about O’b. I heard he’s allegedly, on the downlow.
Soul Train was watched by me and my siblings every Saturday morning. Our neighbors and myself would talk about the shows on our way to school Monday mornings. The commercials were the bomb ! And the hair styles and the fashions were envied by us teens. RIP Mr. DON.
💯❤️
I danced on Soul Train in the late 90s to 2000s, the Shemar Moore era. Don was always on set even though he was no longer hosting. He did run a tight ship!
‘If you look close enough you might see a price tag hanging from their tail’ Ashley is a MESS
Now I understand why all of a sudden the male Soul Train dancers were mostly funny men...fun boys. I now see why Mr. Cornelius took his own life. But the show itself was one of the best things that ever happened for Black Americans of all all ages. Thank you for this journal. Bless Up. 💚🖤💛🇯🇲🇺🇸
Crazy how bill Cosby and don were Gold card key holders for the playboy mansion
Also wasn't Jim Brown a member 🤔 at the playboy mansion, don't put anything past people 🤔 😮
It was rumored, during the 80's, that Don Cornelius was homosexual. He recruited a lot of gay boys from Crenshaw and Dorsey high to dance on Soul Train. Young men like Jermaine Stewart, O'brian, etc were recruited because they were gay. That's probably why he was so abusive toward women.
🧐that makes hella sense.
O'Bryan is not homosexual
I heard Don had a thing for Jermaine Stewart. I didn't want to be the one to say it. Chile this tea is scolding hot.
I heard this as well. That he was definitely in the closet
😳😳😳 SAY IT AINT SO! He seemed like such a tall and strong symbol of black manhood. 🥺🤦🏽♀️
Soul train and fat Albert and the gang were Saturday routines, my uncle worked on the Soul train stages out in Cali and I heard stories for years,Don was Wilding, beefing and doing the rock star thing, his showdowns with Dick Clark or giving Rick James shade were legendary, he was a complex cat,still hard to believe he been gone a decade, American Soul on BET drops some things, however the real Don Cornelius story gonna take time, respect to you Soul sister Ashley
Who on this channel loves a good documentary? I love the way Sista Ashley tells these stories
Mark my words Ashley is going have a prime time show!!! 👏🏾❤️
Al Green on Soul Train is music gold probably some of the best live performances I’ve ever seen!!!
@Jovan Brown Yes. Al Green was one of the best performers on Soul Train.
I believe Don C was abusive. Black men of his Era definitely were abusive and many on the DL.
Twice in one week?! We aren’t worthy !! Thanks again Ashley 🙂
Sad and disgusting . This has been happening for years with the rich and powerful
Girl I was just scrolling bored as hell! Thank you Ashley!!! We needed this.
Same lol
YES 💖🔥
Right just got back from grocery shopping and rolling a joint 😂😂
You too lol… I clicked so fast 💨
Me too!!!😆
The power trip is real. When we don't have more on our minds, a higher purpose, we go off out of control. Drug and sex abuse is common among those who have made it in America. Lessons learned.
Drug, sex abuse "and fame" is the most common destruction...
I was bored in class today, but now that I'm on lunch, I can watch my favorite storyteller.
Again: Black Dynamite has a episode where Dick Clark and Don Cornelius were fighting for those ratings 😂😂😂😂😂 hilarious but historical ..great content sis💖
That was hilarious 😂
Black Dynamite sucks
No Miss. Thang didn't bless us with 2 uploads BACK TO BACK!!!! 🙌🏾👏🏽.
Thank you ☺️❤️
Many years ago I did hear the rumors of him being brutal. He always seemed overly possessed of his emotions, I used to hear how cool he was, he was kind of scary to me.
If I remember correctly Cosby was a regular at the playboy mansion and at the playboy jazz festival.
I was a seat filler in 1990 for the Soul Train award show. Don Cornelius was very mean he didn't play. From that day forward i didn't care to much for his personality. But i still watched Soul Train.
Wow. He seemed like a controlling narcissist.
Girl you just pushing these out!!! I love it!! Your hustle is inspirational boo!!! DON WAS DIRTY!!!!!!!
Wow Don had a lot demons to deal with, but you right Soul Train is ours. Thank you for the video Ashley. Awesome 😊
I love when Ashley says " chiiiiiiiiiiiiile, these folks out here saying "
You are the queen of storytelling
I’ve been watching/subscribed to you for about a year and a half now and i hardly ever comment but sisssss. These back to back updates are giving me everything i need right now 😭😭😭 i love listening to your stories and your humor. Thank you so much. God bless you 💜
We got
Yeasssss facts!!!!!! I be salivating for her videos!!!!! Not only her personality and storytelling skill so lit BUT lord she be giving you the Gaga chile!!!! I love knowing this stuff about all these people!!!! I believe it all even if it ain’t true!!! 😂😂😂
@@aceblanks7658 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My God in Heaven such a sorrowful situation that Don Cornelius had these horrible dark side that cost him to brutalize others as he was apparently in a very dark place in his heart and mind💔😥‼
Dang Ashley😳 Why do these people seem to lose their minds that are so brilliant? I’m truly grateful that he made SoulTrain but it breaks my heart to hear how he treated women😟 And I loved O’Brien! I never knew that was happening to him 🤦🏽♀️ Don’t you turn crazy on us after you blow up 😂🙏🏾❤️🥰
🤣🤣🤣Yes!! Stay with us, Ashley!
@@tbee1575 😄
No One is righteous no not one 🤳🏿🤷🏿♀️
We had O'Bryan's 45 for the single You and I. That was my song. I believe Mike Evans a.k.a. Ralph Carter sang You and I at Thelma's wedding.
I still have his album.
Yes, Michael Evans sang it on "Good Times". The original artist is Stevie Wonder.
Yes I was extremely very shocked 😮 on Don Cornelius!!!!!!
🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤔I wouldn’t have never ever thought about him like that !!!!!!
And no ain't no Shalamar tea before y'all ask!🤣🤣🤣 21:37 was a name that I didn't fully say btw lol y'all ain't gonna get me!
🤣🤣🤣 that's right hunty....make it plain!!!!
Omg 😂 Ashley You Something Else
Why I wanna see you and husband do a Soul Train line Ashley 😂🤣
@@ThespianAuntieEats hey mama I see your channel❤❤
@@brahmabkitty03 😂😂😂 I gets down baby!
yes. Soul Train is studied as the first "reality TV" shows. I was surprised that it was in my Film 101 text book. Awesome!
American Bandstand is not studied as early "Reality TV"???? Hmmm 🤔!
What college did you take this course??? It's great that it's included in a college course bc it was a genius TV creation and production! However, Soul Train was not a
reality TV show! That's straight bullsh!t. And is diminishes Soul Train genius and success!!!
White TV always trying to bury Black genius and success, so they'll create another lane, usually derogatory, for Black art! So they can shine and keep the spot light!!!
Do a deep-dive on Jody Whatley And how she became successful and overcame the industry politics with a good work-ethic!
I absolutely love your energy in this video! your storytelling skills are unmatched!
Sexuality could play a lot into all those problems of wilding out and abusing. If he had to put up a facade for so long, this probably built up. This is why people should be allowed to be themselves. When not, that is when deviant behaviour rears its ugly head.
But, Mr. Brown???? Goodness! I just thought everyone knew him as much as I remember him being on TV, but maybe not. I wouldn't have expected that one, but who knows. Friends, or boyfriends. I guess we will never know, but I don't think so.
I FELL OUT on the floor laughing re the lead-up and punchline about the négligée! Girl! Ya TOLD that!!! LOL!!!
I just wanna know who the group was. 🤔
@@CodyCole80 I am going to take a wild guess and say it may have been the Ojays. They and Don were real tight since the early days of Soul Train. Could be wrong, just a guess.
@@angelafisher299
🤔 Hummm…I would’ve thought of a younger, less mature group, like Kool and The Gang or The Commodores. They were all barely out of their teens in the early 70’s. Those were young guys that Don would’ve thought he could’ve coerced or groomed. 😒 I think he would’ve known not to “fluke” wit the The O’Jays, especially Eddie and William. They were closer to his age. Plus, Eddie seemed like the type that was wit the 💩s, and William looked like the “Don’t let the light-skin fool ya type.” 😂 He was really handsome but had a hood vibe to me. But who knows. Sometimes it’s the ones you least expect. 😂🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
@@CodyCole80 You have a point because Eddie Levert is known to cuss folks out. He curse so much that Betty Wright warned him about his language on the Christian Broadcasting network TBN "Praise".
@@angelafisher299
😲 He was 🤬 on the show? 😂
I was LOL at work. Everyone was looking at me because its so quiet. I love how you tell stories. I feel like I'm right there. Elvis was a trip for sure.
I’m ready for that Hugh hefner video 😭
I don't know why we think we could go through life nasty abusive non acknowledging of God and think we're going to end up at the top of the hill that's exactly where the devil leads you if you let him if you don't repent of your sins and give your life to God all these videos I watched they end up the same way and it's sad you can't live your life hurting people and then expect to get away with it we all reap what we sow whether it's good seed or bad we reap!!
I also heard that Don Cornelius didn't like hip-hop either. I heard that was part of the reason why he couldn't stay relevant too. He even critiqued the hip-hop acts that performed on the show.
He also didn't like music videos.
He seemed like a depressed man...I grew up watching Soul Train...his presence was creepy. His interviews were dry like he didn't want to interview the artists 🤔
Whew Chile Don was everything I always thought his creepy behind to be. Don had that mortician formaldehyde looking skin and his voice was like Lutch from the Addams Family. I always thought Don Cornelius was a creepy closeted homosexual. So I can believe all of the above but JB who was along with Howie Long and Terry Bradshaw on the sports desk. Baby baby baby you made me drop the whole pot of tea with that bit of gossip.
So basically once Don Cornelius tasted success he was like I can do what TF I want and to anybody...SMGDH RIP to a LEGEND because he did accomplish something truly SPECIAL.
Don and Dolores did not divorce until 1976 which was after Soul Train was on. Also the original Caravan show Dolores was the co-creator of that. Dolores did not want to move to LA which is what initially started their separation. By the time they divorced in 1976 they haven't separated a number of years but were occasionally coming back together.
I'm about to pin this comment now, thank you so much for this information on the real time and reason for divorce❤❤ Do you know if the basement parties were true? That info was supposedly put out by a family member but I just wanted to know for sure if that's right.
@@AshleySaysSo20 Hi Ashley 👋🏾 n Wassup 🙂! I did hear that tha basement parties were true! Tha O'Brian fling I did also hear that a former ST dancer as Don & O'Brian did hav a brief affair w/O'Brian pulling away during sum point w/Don still holding tha reins to his (O'Brian's) career and Don putting tha sabotage in O'Brian name there after. BTW....Gurl urALWAYS Great, funny and Super entertaining (and ur research is impeccable👍🏾) ..😄 !! Ashley ur Blessed, u have a gift to make ppl smile & most of all ...THINK 🤔! Anyway Thanx 🙌🏾 Ashley u 🪨 '!! 🙏🏾🙂💟✌🏾
@@qwikfist8 thank you Larry! I was wondering if they were really all down there jamming. It just made me feel warm and nostalgic, this family getting together after Sunday dinner and just hanging out and having a good time lol
I think they shown that in the soul train BET series
When you do dirt, expect dirt to do you !!!!
I am hooked! I can watch your videos all day and night and I actually did one Saturday. I was so glad when I had a clear day and didn't feel like doing nothing. It was "Ashley Says So" and the refrigerator all day! 😂 I love it!!! That Amazon wig on Elvis had me dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I could tell Don had some major psychological issues. He just seemed mean when interviewing some of his guest's.
Never trust a man who'll only pay you in chicken. 😎🍗🍗🍗
Hahahaha. As funny as this is, there is truth behind this statement!
It says a lot when you read into it. Yes it does...
😂😂😂
Lol😂😅
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Now I’m wondering how Don Cornelius felt about Donnie Simpson. 🤔
Good question…
Good question, because Donnie Simpson is a very attractive man.
Or how Donnie Simpson felt about Don???
We appreciate your hustle and consistency Ashley! 🥰 Your sense of humor sends me!
💯
You've gotta check out episode 3 of the docuseries A&E is doing on "Secrets of Playboy... now I thoroughly believe that he was a monster
They are telling the playboy situation with Don on the docuseries. OMG. You are awesome in your breaking news!
Hey, Ashley!! Why have I been watching video after video nonstop since I found your page! Girl, you are all the TV type watching I need. Truly enjoying video after video. And you are soo personable, relatable, and entertaining.
She was born to tell a good story! So entertaining, animated, and funny. I love her!
Once she grab ya she gotcha girl welcome to the family 🤣😁👋
Facts
I did the same thing when I first started watching. It was like binge watching a series!
Welcome to the family 💕 Ashley is good people. We love our girl.
Sis! You get all the likes off the jump! The way you are banging out these videos has me in a nostalgia coma, in a good way! Thank you and now I'm about to get into it. This one is going to be great, I can feel it!
My mother in law who grew up off 95th south side of Chicago always said she heard about the gay rumors..
I loved soul train as a kid. It came on right after Fat Albert. Best 2 hours of entertainment ever.
Omg!!! When I tell you my mind was blown with this video about Don Cornelius, is an understatement. Ooh chile Don what was you doing homey?! Geesh. Well he was human bless his heart. He still is an icon in my book so Rest in Peace Mr Cornelius, you made us proud 👏🏽. Another great job Ashley 🥰
Oooooh!!!
When you mentioned Hugh Hefner!!! I know that episode is going to be BEYOND SCANDALOUS!!!!
Keep up the awesome work!!!!
Ashllllleeeeyyy Don Cornelius is on the home page of yahoo! Saying he assaulted 2 women at the Playboy mansion! I said dang! Ashley just gave us “tha scandal hunty! Tha scandal!” 2 weeks ago! His face popped up and my mouth dropped!
Girllll I grew up off soul train I remember waking up every Saturday morning making a bowl of cereal and watching cartoons that's when cartoons came on every channel and at 11 soulllll train!! We would find anywhere to sit and watch soul train😂 we couldn't wait to see who was going to be on the show and the latest hair styles and the latest fashion and the latest dance's yasss!! Afro sheen commercials i miss those days so much lawd how I wish I could go back like u wouldn't believe!! Thank u for the video I enjoyed it and I've heard those rumors as well bout don it's been said for years
Giiiiiirl….I came back to tell you they confirmed your tea in the playboy docuseries. Said they were sisters! 20 and 21.
Your sources are incredible. Watched Secrets of Playboy and your tea was sipped with lemon! Get it Ashley!
I was raised in the church I stumbled upon Soul Train one day when I was a lil girl. I didn't do my normal and turn the TV off after the Saturday morning cartoons. Whew Chile that changed my entire life.. my grandma caught me dancing one day and liked to beat the breaks off of me. She said "How you learn all that shaking you doing?" I said Soul Train on TV🤣🤣🤣.
Wow! Well you’re an adult now…✌🏾
🚆The Sooooul train, the hippest trip in America! Born & raised in Chicago, I watched Soul Train every Saturday growing up! Don Cornelius gave many black celebrities a chance to shine & become more famous.
He was definitely a great influence to my culture! (beautiful black people) He will forever be one of the greatest tv hosts in the world! And as only Don Cornelius could say....."We wish ya love, peace, & soooooul!"✌️✌️✌️
Thank you so much Ashley for bringing the tea on the king of Soul Train!
White guy here and my friend (black dude) introduced me to your show, wow I never knew any of this (nor do I think most white people do). As I'm watching this and your other vids I hear from the other room my GF (who's black) saying mmmmhmmm, yup yeah I knew it lol.
I grew up watching Soul train in the early 70s from Galveston, Texas. We were amazed by all these cool people from California and the very best singers and musicians on that show. California turned out to be a pretty big deal because everybody in my family has made it out there. It's Hollywood, Gangsta Rap and the land of Soul Train. Great vid, Ashley your style has grown on me.
Sorry but it started in Chicago he moved it to California
I was born in Chicago in 1954. We moved to Arlington Heights (suburbs) in 1960. Most family remained and still live in Chicago. I live 100 due west of there now. I am not black but a 100% Cuban American woman. We often watched SoulTrain. We loved seeing the clothes and funky jewelry. 💥May he RIP. He had a hard go of it all.
Don Cornelius, Dick Clark, and Berry Gordy have two things in common: 1) they didn't like rap music; 2) music videos of any kind were a waste. That's when they found out they were out of touch. Gordy sold Motown to Universal Records. Cornelius and Clark dance shows ended.
Soul train last for while
Nobody liked rap except the rappers at the start...
OMG Don!!! Lord I never knew he was such a deviant. I knew he was wierd, but dang... Well girl another video well done👏❤️
My grandfathers brother was good friends with Don Cornelius. My grandmother went to school with him at Dusable High School.
Did hear any rumors about Don from your Uncle?
@@helenhamilton9561 no I didn’t hear any
Ashley chillllleeee they have a documentary coming out talking about Don mistreating those playboy bunnies. They have also been posting them it all social media platforms. The neighborhood talk just posted it yesterday. 😳
Chile, Episode 3 of the Secrets of Playboy docuseries CONFIRMS that horrible rumor!! Just aired yesterday on A&E. Im shook, got chills!
Yes lawd. That was a mess. So horrible
WVON our station the “Voice of the Negro” 1450 on your am dial, now 1690 am! Yes WCIU Channel 26. By the time my brother and I got old enough to get on the black and white Soul Train in Chicago with host and former classmate of my uncle EL, Clinton Ghent, Don was in California building his brand, making Soul Train a household name! Great memories! That James Brown is a popular sports broadcaster, never heard the roomer about him and Don. Great video Ashley.
#SaySoSquad! I have finally been able to join the membership now! Ashley you spoil us dearly, I love you for this! Don Cornelius, this is like the second time that I've heard about him dressing up in lingerie and women's clothing. He reminds me of Marvin Gaye's father who was a minister but also a crossdresser but also beat and terrorized his family.
😮😳😳
He was mentioned quite frequently in the playboy docuseries. According to the series, he was brutal.
What I'm finding out about all the "Stars" that people admire/admired is that Fame comes at a cost, and that cost appears to be the very nature of a person. It's so sad, but I've learned to not put Any human being on a pedestal ever. I guess you can call it wisdom.
I remember the black and white program. I was a little girl in in Chicago. We used to come home and watch soul train on the local station. Took me down memory lane thank you
@Tina Lewis, it didn't make a difference at my house, the TV was black and white.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
15:31 That James Brown is host of the NFL Today, the pregame show for Sunday NFL CBS games. Since NFL games are the most popular programming on TV he is VERY FAMILIAR to NFL fans on Sunday who watch the pregame, halftime and post game shows. If you don't like pro football on CBS then he wouldn't be familiar.
Your tea is piping hotttt! I’m from Chicago from that 60s-70s era and I never heard of the alternative lifestyle rumors! I know my daddy said he worked as a bus driver (CTA) too! Legendary hustler! Lol
There's a saying that says" if one person says something about someone, doubt it. But if multiple people are saying the same thing, then there's truth to it. I believe Rosie Perez. Her story has been consistent throughout.
I also read in her book that some of the dancers used to go on American Bandstand after taping Soul Train because they wanted to not only get paid but they really loved to dance. Don knew about this but said nothing. But the reverse was never allowed to happen. White kids were rarely allowed on his show, at first. After he stopped hosting himself, you could see more white kids.
Was he abusive??. Yeah, I believe it. It has the ring of truth to it.
Oooo chile you're on a roll. I love me some Don Cornelius & Soul Train. The show American Soul based on Don & Soul Train started giving me a little incite into his personal life.
Thank you Ashley for blessing us with another video😩💗
Hi Ashley, would you do Tyrone Davis life please. He’s my favorite singer from back in the day. I have all his music. Thanks. Absolutely love what you do. The James Brown guy is a sportscaster for the NFL. He still does it. I haven’t heard anything from O’Bryan in years.
tyrone davis would be tremendous. james brown the NFL sportscaster is probably not don c's "love interest" anymore than o'bryan was. i'm unfamiliar with o'bryan except for stevie wonder cover and it's easy for me to say "he shouldn't be offended by misstatements" but ashley doesn't go out of her way to see anyone in a uncompassionate light so if anything "be angry ashley says so didn't mention you lived with jennifer beals before and after "flashdance".
What a special treat, Ashley...two vids this week and something good to hunker down to on a cold rainy night tonight. I'm loving it! A couple of months ago I stumbled across these short videos titled I Was a Soul Train Dancer. Great stuff y'all, from the perspectives of the dancers. The short segments really make these people real. I know I used to think of them as glamorous and lucky to be dancing on Soul Train. You will see they're regular people with ordinary lives. You can find all their stories, just search I was a soul train dancer. Loving you Ashley!!
Don't give her the big balloon head. 😲😁no you dod your thing
I used to want to be a Soul Train dancer because I thought their lives were more glamorous than it really was with doing what they love! I love the segment"I was a Soul Train Dancer" too!
Thank you! Ima check it out
Ooh yes! I binged those vids. I love hearing hose details
O'Bryan Is one of my favorite voices ever! Heartbreaking he got screwed over
Never happened. Connect with me on facebook.
He's definitely still one of my very favorites. Such a beautiful voice!!!

🗣COME THROUGH ASHLEY!!!! 🎉 At work ret now! I can’t wait to come back and watch!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Love ❤️ your show Ashley
I really appreciate that you told this wonderful story on Don Corneilus. It is so exciting to me because I was a very young teen when Soul Train came out. I just closed my eyes and visualized this amazing story. 👏🏿
Girl, I love the way that u report! It reminds me of the way I would see my mom and her friends sitting outside talking about "the local tea" when I was a kid. Because of your dislaimers about the segments being strictly gossip and that the info may not be true, I can just enjoy the tea, and not get bogged down in: "no that's not true.... Well that's not what I heard or read". Thank you for your unique style of reporting. It's just for fun and not meant to harm anyone. Like I said: You are very clear and transparent in your opening. It reminds me of Benita Brattrell on 'In Living Color'. "You ain't heard this from me, but......" 😂 I wish you all the best on your channel, and I will continue to watch, hit the like button and make comments. And I definitely subscribed after seeing the first video of yours that I came across. ANYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH ME, PLS DO NOT COME FOR ME. MY COMMENTS ARE TO ASHLEY. I RESPECT YOU RIGHT TO DISAGREE, BUT JUST SCROLL PAST MY COMMENTS AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY. 💞💖
Kristoff St.John, please Ashley? I know you'll do the man who played Neil Winters from YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS so much justice.💙☺
Yes he was wonderful. I would love his story 👍
He's probably Gay too not suprised
I love when I see her videos pop up just make my whole day🥰
Ashley you really should write a book and do a tv series about scandals and stories. You have the personality to do that!
I have not laughed like this in a long time. I Appreciate Your Humor. 😄
