Many of these people are grandparents or great-grandparents now. What a lovely gift it is to see them in action in their beautiful, electric youth, boundless with unlimited initiative and light. Thank you so very much. Peace!
For a white family in the Bronx, we never missed the Soul Train and made up our own line dance with a bit of Turkish twist. You are right though my cousins are near their eighties and retired age...
Well, at lease ONE grandchild knows how cool his grandparents were. Check out this clip, then the first comment: ua-cam.com/video/UhZFzrPsIwM/v-deo.html
I'm not sure what you typed means but most of the male Soul Train dancers were gay. I'm not saying that's a bad thing but I don't think your comment leaned that way. Maybe I'm wrong.
@@mikesacco8457 That's not necessarily true. Not all black people can dance. I am black but I am not a good dancer at all. I know some white people who dance really well.
@@ashleydowney1222 NOT LIKE BLACK PPL,BLACK PPL HAVE A NATURAL SMOOTHNESS ABOUT THEM,WHITES AND OTHERS LOOK AS THOUGH THEY HAVE REHEARSED,COPIED,AND PRACTICED ...JUST SAYING and almost EVERY POPULAR DANCE / MOVES CAME FROM BLACK PPL.THEY MAY DO WELL,BUT IT IS JUST NOT THE SAME AS BLACK PPL.GIVE props where they are due do not take awY or downplay the compliment..
Now THAT was real soul dancing & music im 54 and loved the 70's. Todays folk will NEEEEVER KNOW! Woman dressed casual and looked so BEAUTIFUL! THOSE WERE REAL EBONY QUEENS
People always ask me why I have so much sadness when I think of the 70's and early 80's and this is exactly why: the clothes, music, dancing, tv shows, radio stations (WLS), cars, magazines, movies, and it goes on and on. Unless you lived then, you'll never understand. There will never be another time like it. Since 1987, this world has sucked.
Bad eating, tattoo over kill, likes of Cardi B Kardasians polluting our young women's minds. Thug life mentality, vulgar rap and idolizing entertainers and athletes instead of God.
I love how each couple is so co-ordinated in clothing style, dance style, while still having mad rhythm. Each couple shown are meant to be in every sense.
It's this kind of thing that makes me happy to be a human being. Beautiful to simply watch people dancing with no insecurity and living their best life. Yes
DAMMIT!!!! These guys DANCE, and they dance SOOOOOOOOO well!! They perform these dances as couples, and by their moves, you can tell all of them couples are together, they are one, they coordinate and synchronize not only their clothes, but their attitudes, styles and moves. Try, dammit, try to find today some young couples with that kind of grace and harmony, dancing in front of a crowd with nowhere to hide... You'll be searching for decades before finding one. I suddenly feel very, very nostalgic of that era.
Or your grandparents LMAO.. I think we took all the "cool" with us when we left our youth behind. You guys wish you had the groove we had. Y'all just nasty LMAO.
Wow! back then everyone was dressed so nice!! look at the guys Fros!. The ladies didn't wear all those long fake weaves, some wore their Beautiful Naturals too! Yaaassss!! thanks for sharing Steve
Love it. It’s beautiful miss those day’s. Everything was normal and beautiful. Just simple.People knew how to dance. No disgusting nudity or nasty words to the music no fake plastic people just naturally beautiful people.
I always feel so understood when I come to the comment sections of Soul Train videos. As a young person in today’s world, people my age like to dismiss my admiration and appreciation of the 60’s and 70’s, saying I’m an old-head or that I’m living backwards. “Oh, never heard of them! Well, do you listen to any * insert trash present-day musician here? * I hate it! :( And, not to make this about me, but funnily enough, I always get compliments on my personality and my outfits, and I 100% credit it to my inspiration drawing from the pure class and charm of these past decades! I wish young people today would understand that it’s not about new and old. It’s about timelessness and purpose. Look at these people, the way they dress, the way they style their hair, the way they move... listen to their music!!! Everything was tasteful, classy, and *made to last.* Everything is so come and go these days. And no one knows how to and doesn’t even want to dance anymore! I’d rather be listening to 70’s songs that have stood the test of time rather than all the disposable garbage that gets played on the radio today. I’d rather dress sharp and with class, have my clothes fit me properly than throw my money away on expensive logo mania or oversized sweatsuits or wear skimpy lingerie and leggings to the club... I’d rather wear minimal makeup than have thick drawn on eyebrows and caterpillar eyelash extensions! God those eyelash extensions are terrible!!! And gosh, those men all look so handsome, so sharp and so confident. I love the way they dance and move. Guys these days... don’t even get me started. Canada Goose vests and Gucci flip flops are not sexy!!! One thing is for sure, if you’re lucky enough to know of the value of these decades, you should know you’re on the right side of mankind; the excellence that made those decades really are undeniable forces of good. I don’t value this stuff to “be different” than the typical youth of today... I just want to experience things that have purpose and quality... I crave the experience of excellent work, that’s all! This is a very long comment but I just had to say thank you to everyone who still has good taste!!! It makes me happy to know I’m not the only one. ❤️
Wow! Thanks for saying all that. I am 58yo and you've inspired me because so many my age feel that the ideas and values we hold are irrelevant and have no impact in today's world. It is so refreshing and nice to know that some in the younger gen do understand and prefer quality, realness and substance in an era when very little is offered. I applaud you and wish you much success and happiness in shining your light into this world for present and future generations
@@sbella6719 Your comment made me tear up! You made my day. Thank you very much for your kind words. It isn’t easy being young these days, especially so when your values and taste differ so much from today’s youth... but you have inspired me to keep it up, to always remember and cherish what is good in this world and its history... and to share the good and make sure that it continues to be known of. I can only speak for myself, but I will forever value the gifts that your generation has blessed the world with! Though it seems the world at large is completely lacking in every sense today, good work and brilliant art will live on no matter what... God bless you! ❤️
I loved this show as a kid, lol! I still love me some classic R&B! But my daughter won’t let me dance and sing along when I hear it at the grocery store, lol!
I love the 70s and I wasn't even born in the 70s. I was born in 1982 but the 70s is one of my favorite decades. I just love the music from then, the style, the TV shows, movies, and the way they all danced
Excellent shows. Also, when we went out, we had the choice of "record spin" dance clubs and clubs that had live bands. What a marvelous era. Full of romance and excitement.
To be a high school freshman again in 1976 and be playing that album over and over. I wish those days could come back once more ! why did those days ever have to go ?
Not only could these folks dance, they really knew how to throw an outfit together. Too bad people don't take pride on how they look, especially on television
YEAH BACK WHEN BLACK PEOPLE ESPECIALLY WOMEN WERE NOT 150 TO 1000 POUNDS SQUEEZING THEY BIG ASSES. AND THIGHS FAT OVERWEIGHT. TAILS IN LEGGINGS AND SKINNY JEANS🤣
These people look like they fell out of a fall catalog for a department store. I wonder if they were allowed to wear clothes for advertising. There was such a variety of styles.
Look how In shape mostly all of these people were 🤗 This was back in the days, when food was food and right was right and wrong was wrong. Wish those days could come back 😢
Love the guy with the sweater tied around his neck with the black pants and white shirt he was getting down. Reminds me of my Uncle Leroy during family functions. He was always up dancing.
What can I say. It wa a golden age. The music, dances and wow the fashions were just sooooooooo much better! So glad I was young then. We had style, class and exuded a sense of pride in our culture and who we were. I LOVED IT!
At that level of grace and beauty, you had to. And Don Cornelius knew what he had. He actually started on Chicago public television ca. 1968 and it was a huge hit even in that limited local market. Those kids had to audition, and they worked on those routines like it was a regular 9-5, and you know what? It was beautiful and wonderful and magnificent, and I’ve never seen anything on TV quite like it, before or since. American Bandstand? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄😬😱🥱😂 Soul Train vs. American Bandstand was like Art Afron’s 700+ mph jet car vs. a Model T. Soul Train totally rules, even though it’s been off the air for more than 20 years. SOUL TRAIN RULES!!!
Wow I’m having fun watching this & I can only imagine what a blast this musta been in person Wow what a time to be young & at the soul train dance line recording! 👍😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼 Fantastic video thanks for sharing 👏🏼😉✌🏼♥️
So many great dancers here. I think my favourite is the lady grooving out at 0:54 and her outfit is just the best. This is what a real dance floor looks, and feels like
Yeah ladies, back in the day! I remember when men would open the car door for us, give us their seats on the bus, and not use profanity when a lady was around. In some ways we've stepped forward and in others--way, way back.
So lucky and so true!!! Isn’t it strange how it seems to have gotten a little better but also worse in terms of how women are treated? I’d swoon like crazy if a man like one of them in this video would just kiss the back of my hand... and it’s like, do guys even do, or think to do that these days!? Sigh... I need a time machine!!!!
You could wear every one of those outfits...even today...timeless. Love watching these old ST clips...reminds me of how wonderfully alive this world used to be.
Those womens Goucho pants with boots 🎉 Adorable outfits. Classy.
Many of these people are grandparents or great-grandparents now.
What a lovely gift it is to see them in action in their beautiful, electric youth, boundless with unlimited initiative and light.
Thank you so very much.
Peace!

Thank you.
Blessings.
Best!
❤😊well said and well OBSERVED
That's when we actually liked each other.
No weaves. No twerking. No clowning. Just stunning Black men and women. Legend!
No two inch spider eyelashes, four inch claws, tattoos, nose rings or piercing. That was my era and yes the men and women were stunning ❤😊
And so fit!!! Wow do they all look great. Wish it was all here again.
😂😂😂😂😂💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
Never be again, ppl aren't the same!! Thanks to Black men...
And the black culture looks good no pants sagging women dress to impress
I remember growing up as a little girl in the 70s, it wasn't a Saturday, until you watched Soul Train.
Two friends and I had a standing Saturday date to get together and watch Soul Train. What fun we had!
@@huascar66 👍🏾👍🏾
OH! I AM SOOOO GLAD I GREW UP IN THIS ERA!!!!!
I WISH I COULD HAVE THESE DAYS AGAIN!!!
We took the 70s for granted. Long live tbe 70s!
@CoachHayes100
YES.....
WITHOUT QUESTION 💯
And me sad caus I did not.
Class of '72 L.A. Ca.!!! home of Soul Train!
Gouchos with boots, love it!! I hope that style comes back.
We are all masters of our own Style, .. Do it !!
@@michellefalleur960 - Thanks, I probably will. 😊
As a white kid from the burbs this was my favorite show grouping up! Thanks Big DC u had the best of the best on your show
I love the way how they dressed back then
Agree, sure was fun. We would try to dress like these guys, I was never that trim but you gotta try anyway! Great music and lookin' sharp.
Real talk especially the Woman them
***** we should be friends because I don't run to most people our age who like the ol school
Our women used to wear clothes back then!
Curtis McElroy our women used to wear clothes! Nowadays they are competing to strip...
Everybody look so healthy and in shape. Probably could dance all night long.
Yes indeed we did! With a few "slow dances" thrown in to cool down a bit and get close to your lady
Cocaine.
We really did dance all night and we were slim !!
I wonder if it's because of all the steroids in meat?
@@fleshanthos I believe that is possible. Why are the younger people so big and tall ?
I'm 63 & I remember song well during high school in I believe between 72& 75 great album
SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE !
September, 1976
These dancer's grandchildren have no clue how cool their grandparents were.
Ikr! 😁
They were cooler than their grandchildren are... That's for sure.
NOT really!
Well, at lease ONE grandchild knows how cool his grandparents were. Check out this clip, then the first comment: ua-cam.com/video/UhZFzrPsIwM/v-deo.html
Their grandparents STILL are...........😎
Back when music was music, girls were girls and men were men.
I'm not sure what you typed means but most of the male Soul Train dancers were gay. I'm not saying that's a bad thing but I don't think your comment leaned that way. Maybe I'm wrong.
Back then, we only had 13 channels, but the variety was so much better than today as was the talent.
13??? We only had 3 and had to adjust the antenna for each one lol. I agree the programming was so much better then.
When black men and women loved to dance with one another.....I wish those days could come back once more.....ayyyyy.
Yes and they were with each other..
I had to laugh at that.
Not in a funny way. But very true.
Black people can dance.
White people. Ah nope. Lol
@@mikesacco8457 That's not necessarily true. Not all black people can dance. I am black but I am not a good dancer at all. I know some white people who dance really well.
@@ashleydowney1222 I'm black and I'm rhythmically challenged too and had the nerve to try out for cheerleading. Lol. Loved watching Soul Train though

Now THAT was real soul dancing & music im 54 and loved the 70's. Todays folk will NEEEEVER KNOW!
Woman dressed casual and looked so BEAUTIFUL! THOSE WERE REAL EBONY QUEENS
They are. Not sure what happened to change it all so much. :/
They're all tall, skinny, classy and full of rhythm = impressive!
All kids from local L.A. neighborhoods. We all rocked those fashions & danced like that!
@@victorparker308 So darn cool, what an age to be young!

Don't be sad. Be happy you lived in an era that gave you those experiences. Keep the good times alive in you
I totally agree, apart from that I think it was terrible from about 1983
70s kid here. Loved it. 80s. 90s. Loved it too. 2000 on.....sucky.
Absolutely 💯
amen!
it amazes me how damn good we looked back then. wtf happened...
Fast food.....sad.....
Weaves and skin-bleaching
@Raymond Brown It's now a gangster's paradise.
......what happened is attempted murder, whatever your ancestors did not have on there diet is poison to you.
Bad eating, tattoo over kill, likes of Cardi B Kardasians polluting our young women's minds. Thug life mentality, vulgar rap and idolizing entertainers and athletes instead of God.
70s soul train line was the best, had more Love Peace & Soul watching those couples dancing together.
OMG. Missing those days 🥺
I love how each couple is so co-ordinated in clothing style, dance style, while still having mad rhythm. Each couple shown are meant to be in every sense.
yep that's what had the viewers every Saturday fashion cute guys and girls and crazy dance moves!!!love to see the reruns
Thank God I didn’t miss this era! What fun dancing with my friends in the living room. Bring it back PLEASE!!❤❤❤
It's this kind of thing that makes me happy to be a human being. Beautiful to simply watch people dancing with no insecurity and living their best life. Yes
Yes!!!
Baby baby baby. Yes. We could all dance back then. We thought we were all soul train dancers. Yesss. I was!
When you take in the style of dress, the fashion, the bell bottoms, along with the dance moves, that's made soul train what it was. PURE GOLD!
Their outfits are INSPIRATIONAL! I love how well their clothes complement their moves.
Nothing has brought a smile more than this. Love it.
Boy, I wish those days.... could....... come back once more!
This just cheers me up. Back in the day, we got a few things right 😊
I’m with Stevie on this one: “I wish those days....could....come back once more....”
@Trista Fravel I see what you did there, lol
Me too!
Man, Meeee Too!

So true. Back then when young men and women were attracted to each other they "went" together. There was commitment and respect.
I love it when they left the crowd mics open and you could hear everyone scream and chatter. Great to hear crowd reaction to the hits.
I couldn’t wait until this came on to watch! Wish we could turn time around!
Love this, i used to watch this every week on tv, im still dancing like this now, im 63
Looked forward to it every Saturday afternoon!
Good on you !
Yes!! Back in the day when moms and pops use to practice dance moves at home to be on Soooouuuullll Train!!! 😂😂
When you realize you will never be as cool as your parents 😂🤣 😂
👍💕
word up!!! them were our uncles, aunts, older siblings, cousins. they time was and still is real cool.
Real talk. And when you realize the artist you grew up kaint touch many of the ones they grew up with
Or your grandparents LMAO.. I think we took all the "cool" with us when we left our youth behind. You guys wish you had the groove we had. Y'all just nasty LMAO.
Indeed!!!
All women dancing and having a good time…fully clothed!!
God bless it! They all looked great.
I really WISH those days could come back - once more. 😢

I love how everyone's dances compliment one another
Our clothes were the bomb back then!
We had it goin on for sure! Glad to be a Babyboomer
When being healthy meant being slim and athletic. 💕
I loved this show as a kid, lol! I still love me some classic R&B! But my daughter won’t let me dance and sing along when I hear it at the grocery store, lol!

Loved them days, those styles, that dancing.

You are right with my daughter....but she dance tho.....she got it from her mama 🤣🤣

OMG if I could go back in time.... I'd wish upon a STAR to get down on Soul Train 😍😍
Aaaah man the fabulous 70s let's all go back.....C'mon run...
"If I could turn back the hands of time," I would be a Soul Train dancer.
I'm right behind you
Love it.
They dance so effortlessly.
Hello Marina, How are you doing?
I promise the fashions were EVERYTHING❤❤...I still get my fashion inspiration from old Soul Train shows...
have the biggest smile on my face rn at 2 am!
This was an era of victory, love, unity, freedom & soul....now we’re in the era of the internet, fast food & rap! The difference is astounding!
i really wish those days can come back again.
Y'all know you remember waking up early Saturday to catch the show with them 3 channels Lol...Man do I wish those days would come back!
I watched this and Midnight Special every Saturday night for years...... SO GOOD!
Excellent shows. Also, when we went out, we had the choice of "record spin" dance clubs and clubs that had live bands. What a marvelous era. Full of romance and excitement.
It's amazing how much skinnier everyone was in the 70s.
True that
Damn
Whitee no how to please those taste buds
More ingredients than yesteryear
Its all the coke lol
It's not that people were skinnier. It was that the standard of health and beauty was to be very skinny. So you only saw skinny people on TV.
@@nc693
...And, they were skinnier.🤦🏾♂️
🙄💯🤷🏾♂️🤔
I miss Soul Train!!! Watched it all the time as a kid!!
Gorgeous people, great dance moves, charming outfits...
MUCH better days than today....I remember it well. Happy times....a love for life. Not like today.
To be a high school freshman again in 1976 and be playing that album over and over.
I wish those days could come back once more !
why did those days ever have to go ?
+Ron Pena lol, yeah, song means WAY more now than it did at 16.....
So true.
Everyone was slim and well dressed. Great to watch!
Not only could these folks dance, they really knew how to throw an outfit together. Too bad people don't take pride on how they look, especially on television
boooooooooooo. PP Collz r the absolute best! I miss the S8tes though.....
YEAH BACK WHEN BLACK PEOPLE ESPECIALLY WOMEN WERE NOT 150 TO 1000 POUNDS SQUEEZING THEY BIG ASSES. AND THIGHS FAT OVERWEIGHT. TAILS IN LEGGINGS AND SKINNY JEANS🤣

Class, pure class. Badass dance moves..early years the best..70's..just awesome.
Love the guy with the sweater tied around his neck with the black pants and white shirt he was getting down. Reminds me of my Uncle Leroy during family functions. He was always up dancing.

Brings me back! I grew up watching soul train every Saturday morning I loved all the music and to this day love my soul r and b and of course motown !
Everyone on here is gorgeous. They practiced their routines.
At that level of grace and beauty, you had to.
And Don Cornelius knew what he had.

Amen, hallelujah!
Amen my sister!!

Is it just me or then women back then were plain FIRE?!?!
So many great dancers here. I think my favourite is the lady grooving out at 0:54 and her outfit is just the best. This is what a real dance floor looks, and feels like
There are too many awesome things happening at once here, I can barely handle this!!

They are all so gorgeous with there clothes and moves, plus there happiness and unity shows ❤️❤️
I'm going back to those good old days, THE 70's! and 80's! in a time machine..... anyone else coming?
Watching Soul train makes me forget life and its burdens.
Agree

Thank you!
Great song and era. Stevie got the Grammy in 76 for this song too...Exceptional year, bicentennial and young fun.....
