    I have watched just about all of these videos and everyone speaks so highly of Soul Train! So I was right, it was everything I thought it would be. Fun, exciting and a great opportunity for all involved. Damn I wish I was old enough to have a chance on there but by the time Soul Train fazed out, I was 13.

    _Souuuuuul TRAIIIIN !_
    There'll never be another show as iconic for Us as Soul Train.
    I'm from South Central Los Angeles.
    I remember being a kid in the 80's watching Saved By The Bell, Saturday morning cartoons and at 11am, Soul Train. It was tradition !
    Now that I'm in my mid 40's, every now and then i get on TH-cam, find old clips from the 70's and 80's and just smile. Then, my ppl wasn't dancing...they wuz _SWWWWANGIN' !_ Always makes me wish i was old enough to experience, appreciate and enjoy the good times.

      @@cheesygrits000 Was born in 87 so I missed those times. :( I've had a fascination of music however from as old as the the big bands of the 30s but the very heart of my appreciation is from the late 60s to 1990. The eras, the coolness, the fashion, the people, the love, peace and soul. Real genuine folks. Amazing music, movies, and cultural movements. I really wish I was just there. I went to a Shake Your Tailfeather dance event at a Toronto bar about 12 years ago and inside was like Soul Train except drinks everywhere, low lighting, just really getting in that zone. Everybody getting down to tracks from that timeline. Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind and Fire, Michael. I couldn't believe my surroundings. I was beyond elated to finally kind of 'live' what it was once like. I want to make those a regular thing though. I still mostly listen to old school joints all day. I don't get a craving for newer music the same. I'm 33 lol. Here's a parting gem, family: "We got the juice" by Attitude. Have fun 🙃
