    Another one of my FAVORITE FAVORITE dancers. Love Diana Price. Loved when she danced with Bernard AND with Billy. Loved when she didn’t have a regular partner. Diana ALWAYS shined whether on the risers or down on the floor. Like Thelma Davis, Wanda Fuller, Vicki Abercrombie, Keedah Giannetti, Choisette Frost, Franchessca Berry, and a few others, Diana brought a classy and mature vibe.

    When I first saw the face and name my thoughts were isn’t that Diana Thompson??! Thanks again Right On!!! magazine those dancers were featured in the magazine religiously every month from about 1973 - 1979. That’s how popular the dancers were on the show for US kids/teenagers growing up in the 1970’s. How cool and she put you in the mind of another dancer Vicki Ambercrambie The two looked similar as two dancers on the show but short, petite, short hair had a great fashion sense and personality. Man those were the days and what I have noticed about these Soul Train videos series. That most who came up in the 1970’s, danced on show were good kids having fun with a good head on their shoulders. There weren’t too many back then you heard about doing drugs, drinking too much being irresponsible and showcasing tons of negativity. Like so many coming up in this generation having their 15 minutes of fame today. REAL TALK THANKS AGAIN RIGHT ON!!! MAGAZINE.

    Soul Train was my weekend HAPPY PLACE! All my chores were done nothing disturbing me.

    After looking at all of these beautiful soul train dancers tell their stories, it's pretty safe to say that dance must be another ingredient for youthfulness!
