I watched *Soul Train* every week. It was so important to us.. especially if you wanted to learn the new dances & just be a part of #AmericanCulture 💜 How his life came to an end is tragic. Like the comedian, Robin Williams.. #Gone2Soon .. We often danced to our own "Soul Train" line on Saturdays. May he rest in peace. He was a trailblazer, especially for us who rarely saw black people en masse weekly on tv AND had african ancestry ourselves. For this reason.. #SoulTrain waa norhing short of REVOLUTIONARY. We were (and still are.. ) connected to negative narratives. He CHANGED that perception by controlling his own narrative outright & putting the best acts on his nationally televised show. The dancers were extraordinary. We absolutely appreciate & love you Mr. Don Cornelius. You always showed us positivity even in the face of extreme racial hatred & apartheid. I grew up in #NYC .. so I am well aware of the steady motivation, persistence, inner strength & courage it took to stay connected to a narrative rooted in positivity vs the "status quo" of anglo racial hatred towards melanin & people of indigenous/native & african ancestry. Yes. Don Cornelius has EARNED his eternal rest by doing well for all of us who struggle under the weight of the deep ignorance of Amerikkka.. while continuing to build #America to realize her FULL POTENTIAL. We need #Democracy .. so we must #vote #register voters & #participate bc it is the only strategic way to better this country for us all & honor all the soulders who have built ways for us to cross into higher ground.. we R part of the best of #Humanity 🌹 💚 🌹

The Herb Kent shot brings back memories of one of his BEST Sunday afternoon shows. Don was a guest and Herb was tearing into him with no mercy(signifying).We felt bad for Don cause it seemed like he was in a brain fog, couldn't keep up and Herb was merciless. Whelp,after one of the breaks,Don must have drunk a Red Bull or Guarana Juice because when they came back on air it was like 1974 Don. We almost started feeling bad for Herb the way Don was crackin' on him. But why put one picture of Bobby Hutton the singer and come back later with Black Panther Bobby Hutton?!!?
I'm watching Dancing with the Stars which is paying homage to Soul Train, so I decided to google Don Cornelius which lead me to this video. What else did Don think was going to happen when he married a white Russian retired adult film star? It's sad that he didn't think he had any other choice than to unalive himself...very sad.
If this is about His life why the fuk was the 1st 8 or 9 mins wasnt even about his death as most real Docs do.. But it was instead used to focus on some wyt gold diggers supposed abuse. And, soul train was more than just music and dance.
Never sold out, he did what other Black Entrepeneur's could not was fight for equality amongst Black Performers Don Cornilius had other wives so just goes to show you when someone corrected a mistake he made in life. He was one of the first solo black producers on Broadway. He and Alvin Aliey produced Timbuktu staring Melba Moore back in 1970 . Remember him for his hard work not why he is dead !

R I P Don Cornelius
Let's be real Don was not respectful to women just sex objects to this brother FACTS.
She probably just married him for his MONEY.
@wmg ~ it’s not like he didn’t know what it was about
U got that right 👍
So this is all about his white wife? Seriously? That’s all you want to focus on? That is Sad.
He played captain “sav-
a-ho” and got phucked. Play stupid games and win stupid prizes. Such is life 🤷♀️
You are 100% correct
I loved watching his shows every week and the dancers ❤❤❤❤.
Adult film star??? Says a lot
was his fault

If I decided to leave here I'd have took her with me. So she wouldn't have to worry about what she was gonna get.
Dang lol!!
Exactly.. He should have known better to try to be Captain Sav-A-Hoe anyway
Unbearable to listen to this narrative.
I'm watching Dancing with the Stars which is paying homage to Soul Train, so I decided to google Don Cornelius which lead me to this video. What else did Don think was going to happen when he married a white Russian retired adult film star? It's sad that he didn't think he had any other choice than to unalive himself...very sad.
And yet and steal a white woman, walked away with his whole fortune
Since she was his wife she got everything

Stop the racist rant😊
Rip Don I watched Soul Train every Saturday at 11am in Chicago; we love you my fellow Dusable High School panther !

What a verbose introduction.
The word for today is tumultuous

Heather Hunter in an interview said Don C. had no issue with her dancing on his show after someone exposed her as a porn actress .
I seen a movie they made of him old boy was gangster
Don was a monster.
He was miserable
