Soul Train Death


Suicide?

As a kid, having Soul Train on after lunch on Saturday afternoon was a ritual.  (That's probably where I got my coolness.) "Love! Peace! And ..........SOUL!"

And that line dancing was greatness:

Until I see the picture of you with a super-fro I shall think that your professed 'coolness' is mere posing.

Talk about gettin' down - literally - in that clip. How many of those guys did a split, hit their knees or just plain did a dive onto the floor?
The peacocks were trying waaay harder than the hens!

Three cheers for the commentors here. I was dreading opening this comment string because of the typical racial slurs. Either everyone is acting like adults or BG is cleaning it up, hope it's the former.

Even back then they were loud. You can barely hear the music from all the screaming and yelling.
Something should have been done then.
