+Jennifer Hernandez...., 70's had some issues like Inflation, Joblessness, Gas Crisis, Racism, etc. But overall...., it was a STONE JAM! Amazingly Creative and Artistic era. Missing it so much now!!!
@Trista Fravel Not true. This is exactly how we dressed back then. Ain't no "costume" about it. I've watched lots of these Soul Train clips and seen jeans, skirts, one-piece jumpsuits, tube tops, floppy hats, platform shoes, and cardigans that I once had in my wardrobe as a teen.
Keep in mind that fashion designers were lining up to dress those kids. Also, those kids were pretty much the same week to week, and yet never got paid. All were aspiring professional dancers.
My father bought me this 45 when I was in elementary school, I played it so much my mother hid it from me but Dad just went and bought me another one. Still love this song to this day. And I loved me some Barry Gibb!! Good memories! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
OMG I love that story. So many of us had an album a parent hid from us because of overplay. And once we become adults with kids of our own, looking back we don't blame our parents in the least!
I was born in '71, and adopted in '73. I'm now 52. My (adopted) dad - rest his soul - was the only one I trusted and with whom I danced. My (adopted) mom on the other hand was and still is a covert narcisist (now 92 yrs old and dementia... and she now hates me even more ). LOVE your story! Hits home.☺
Awww, man, those were the days!!!! What a blast the 70s were!!!! Free and easy, chillin', cool vibes, funky clothes, great bud, - nothin' better!!!! 😂 ✌❤ Glad I was part of it.
These people look great. Healthy, Happy and Feeling the Joy of Just Being ALIVE! Love their clothing. No tats, no body piercings that are visible and no purple, orange or magenta hair.
I miss shows like this and American Bandstand when everyone one was happy and dancing to great music. Now everyone is angry with attitude and shitty music!
As the eighties rolled around I noticed more and more ladies dressing in skimpier outfits trying to look sexier. I’m like, why? You’re beautiful enough, no need. Just dance in a stylish outfit. 😉
@@majestysol7100 Yep, nothing wrong with diabetes, nothing wrong with heart disease and strokes, nothing wrong with gout, and nothing wrong with osteoarthritis (unless it stops you from dancing).
The Bee Gees, like many British Invasion groups embraced Afro-American music, & introduced to a wider audience. Like The Beatles, The Bee, Gees had fans in the Black community because of their embrace of R& B music, & their respect & honor for the artists of that genre. The Bee Gees bridged the musical gap between Blacks & Whites. Good music is good music no matter who is doing it. 🎸🎼
Great comment sambradley. When the beatles came off the plane in 1964 into the US a reporter asked what music do you want to go and hear over here and paul mcCartney said muddy waters. The reporter hadnt heard of him. The beatles loved motown and smokey robinson. The beegees loved the mills brothers
I am a fan of the couple at the start in the matching green ensemble. They have really awesome technique!!!! I bet they can do some fierce Salsa now. If anyone knows who they are please post.
I found out the name of the woman dancing in the green ensemble at the start. Her name is Thelma Davis Martin. I think this particular dance partner is a Darrell Witherspoon. So much technique, style and class. I am very surprised you both did not dance for Ailey. Just the same thank you for sharing your talents! Awesome!
naviv wilkins I believe that male dancer is Chris Benabeade. There was a clip where he asked the Pointers a question and I am pretty sure he said that was his name. I love them too.
I hope y’all will reply to this that black girl with the red shirt and bell bottom jeans is Jody Watley who was then one of the dancers on Soul Train a decade later she’d be a successful singer
Yes, that's Jody Watley and the guy dancing next to her in the tan suit is Jeffrey Daniels. They were two of the most popular dancers on the show. They both sang in the group Shalamar before she went solo.
I'm an old Bee Gees fan and I never understood why that there was a backlash against the brothers though their music was fabulous and even today still sounds great.
☹️ME TOO , ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS UGLY CENTURY CAME AROUND !!!!!! FROM HIPPIE COUNTRY ROCK TO NEW WAVE, I LOVE ALL TYPES OF 70"S MUSIC !!!!! 4EVER & EVER !!!!! ☮️❤️🙂
I love how they all just went for broke with their dancing. Everyone had something unique and interesting going on. I couldn’t truly appreciate the show when I was a kid, but I love seeing these clips now.

Ran across a how I became a Soul Train Dancer video with Sharon Hill at 1:00 (in black) here on UA-cam. I remember her from back in the day but didn't know her name. Her story is interesting, she ended up marrying one of the guys from Lakeside band
I watched this every Saturday and learned how to dance, at eight years old, i watch reruns all the time. Thank you for this show, it helped me get thru a difficult childhood
Whoever put the thumbs down should be slapped and put back in their box! This video is two minutes of pure 70s goodness on a plate!!
6 fuddy duddies... smh
Absolutely 🎼🎼🎧🎧🎸🎸💃🏽
it looks like in the 70s people were happy, full of energy. wish i was born during this era.
+Jennifer Hernandez...., 70's had some issues like Inflation, Joblessness, Gas Crisis, Racism, etc. But overall...., it was a STONE JAM! Amazingly Creative and Artistic era. Missing it so much now!!!
Jennifer Hernandez. I was born in 68. So yeah. I love and appreciate it.
before HIV and AIDS. lots of fun i bet!!!
A lot slimmer too.
Fred Miller Jr Exactly
People ridicule how people dressed in the 70's. Man, they look like princes & queens compared to today. Unless you're at a formal.
It was cutting edge and trendy then. ..
Some of these fashions are actually being worn today. Even bell bottoms were back in style in the late 90s and platform shoes
You know what ask your dad and your mom are they dressed in those days Mario DJ low
@Trista Fravel
Not true. This is exactly how we dressed back then. Ain't no "costume" about it.

Someone take the whistle from that person for crying out loud
the 70's were incredible. Great dance music, talented artists. musicians, fashion was tremendous for the Era of disco soul. They knew how to DANCE.
that bassline was something DIFFERENT !!!
It’s subtle genius
Oh wow love this!!!! This was our Studio 54 every Saturday on t.v.
The 70’s was a blast. Great memories, Fantastic music and Fast cars. We knew how to live it up. Sure miss those days.
We used to peal out when we heard songs like that. No???
@@craigbruce2530 Peel outs, burn outs, racing each other and just all around having a great time. Damn I miss those days
This is how we did it! Pure fun. High on the music and having the time of our life dancing! I’m so glad I was smack dab in the middle of all of it!
The BEST disco song from the Bee Gees... the bass kills it! Deservedly a #1 hit from 1976!
🤎🤎
Hello !! just one of so many !! Staying alive for starters ??
Power great Black sound made by white brothers...Sensational Bee Gees.....
believe me the brits know funk yeaaaah
Aye get that northern soul 🔥
Those kids were killin' it!!
Better than today
Everyone back in the day danced to just about everything. Great times all around.
Can we take a minute to appreciate the talent of the dancing here 👏
We watched Bandstand to see the LA kids clothes, then we watched Soul Train for the music and dancing!
Awww, man, those were the days!!!! What a blast the 70s were!!!! Free and easy, chillin', cool vibes, funky clothes, great bud, - nothin' better!!!! 😂 ✌❤ Glad I was part of it.
AMEN or LIKEWISE!
they are having so much fun. I wish that I could have been there, at least to watch Them dance,
My God! I'd go more often in clubs if it was like this instead of this creepy shitty electronic crap they playin
The soul train dancers are feeling it!
These people look great. Healthy, Happy and Feeling the Joy of Just Being ALIVE! Love their clothing. No tats, no body piercings that are visible and no purple, orange or magenta hair.

Didn't have care in the world! Great time to be alive poor kids of today 2023 don't have a clue!
As the eighties rolled around I noticed more and more ladies dressing in skimpier outfits trying to look sexier. I’m like, why? You’re beautiful enough, no need. Just dance in a stylish outfit. 😉
I noticed that too. I stopped watching into the 80s it became a different vibe
This is so awesome.
This era was much better than rap.
Now everyone at that moment just having good times and bussing a move......👍👍👍
I miss those days. They're all full of energy, nobody overweight, that's the way it really was.
Uh nothings wrong with being overweight.
@@majestysol7100 Yep, nothing wrong with diabetes, nothing wrong with heart disease and strokes, nothing wrong with gout, and nothing wrong with osteoarthritis (unless it stops you from dancing).
Because we were sweatin’ on the dance floor!
@@reba5679 and ate less processed food and actually moved our butts instead of staring at a computer screen….
The ladies on Soul Train were my fashion inspiration. I still prefer fashionable but modest dressing. Love the white gauchos with boots at 1:15
Damn why didnt they perform here that would have been Fucking Epic Omg.. I Love the Bee gees and these people were getting Downn baby wow...
Oh my God! PURE HAPPINESS.
So filled with Pure Joy at this moment
People were so happy that you can feel it. GOOD TIMES.
The 12 people who disliked missed the train.
I think they got hit by the train !!!! 🤯😬😲😭☹️😤😖😩😫😝🤯😤🚂
I never tired of listening to this great song. High quality, to bad we don't have these type of songs to dance to for the new generation.😢💃
I just remembered...... 🎶 I should be dancing!!! 💃 🎵
😀😆😂😃🤣😄 Shake it girl !!!!!!
The Bee Gees, like many British Invasion groups embraced Afro-American music, & introduced to a wider audience.

The Bee Gees bridged the musical gap between Blacks & Whites. Good music is good music no matter who is doing it. 🎸🎼
Love has no color its music is universe of language
Except the Beatles even as solo artists could never and wouldn't know how to do contemporary RNB. The Bee Gees do it effortlessly.
Great comment sambradley. When the beatles came off the plane in 1964 into the US a reporter asked what music do you want to go and hear over here and paul mcCartney said muddy waters.

@@Raider577yes good comment
I love & miss the 70’s. The music was fantastic with love in the air.
Who has bodies like this these days? Now it's all about being muscley. Think the people in this look normal, fashionable & happy.
This record goes so hard LOL ... These kids are showing out and I love it!
🤍💯
I see some popping & locking…. These kids today didn’t even know
the girl in red at 0:57 was that Jody Watley????!!!!
Yes is it
Love the cheering at the beginning, this song was it!!! Brothers and sisters loved us some Bee Gees!!!!
I am a fan of the couple at the start in the matching green ensemble. They have really awesome technique!!!! I bet they can do some fierce Salsa now. If anyone knows who they are please post.

Yes, it's Chris Benabeade or Beneby.
Yes me too,I also loved her short hair hairstyle,they were a classy dancing couple on the show,during those years.
I like them also
Can't help but wonder if they knew that they were dancing to a trio of white boys from England. Love everything about this.
Don Cornelius dropped a hydrogen bomb of happiness on Soul Train there!
I hope y’all will reply to this that black girl with the red shirt and bell bottom jeans is Jody Watley who was then one of the dancers on Soul Train a decade later she’d be a successful singer
That's at 1:00. Jody Watley got all the hype back in the day but Sharon Hill in black next to her was pretty good also.
When you hear the phrase "Y'all are having entirely TOO much damn fun"........ Whelp, there ya have it.
the dancers,gotfunkey,offthatone.
I love it.
This is the grooviest TV show I've ever seen!
this type of song should be in clubs and every where to dance to these days :)
LOL. I love the guy dancing around everyone in the white shirt. He's living his best life.
Look, no cell phones! Everyone healthy, elegant, strong. And not drunk or drugged up.
Uh not really half of these people are on booger sugar it was just clean back then…
We're going to act like cocaine wasnt... okay.
Just FURTHER proves that back then MUSIC was MUSIC & enjoyed by ALL
...What You Doin' In Your Bed On Your Back!?!?
Greattimes disco era 1976 Soul train The Bee gees hosted by Don Cornelius I'm glad I was alive

Amazing Dancers I must say😊

Everybody looked so naturally beautiful back then. The women wore minimal makeup or at least doesn’t make it obvious.
Jody , what's up? Happy New Year. You know y'all was baaddd!!!!
Fun days, indeed.
Witcho beautiful black selves!!
So beautiful 🌹👱♀️
Fuck, Techno and House music. This is the shit!
@0:57 and 4 years later, the Soul Train dancers would be dancing to their music (Jeffrey Daniel & Jody Watley)!
Them whistles! 🤣
And "WOOOO 'S !!!!!
A Soul Train staple
So glad I lived in those days, so much joy, energy, &freedom. 🙂
man these guys incredibly skinny !
that girl at 1:03 wearing red on top was that Jody Watley?????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, that's Jody Watley and the guy dancing next to her in the tan suit is Jeffrey Daniels. They were two of the most popular dancers on the show. They both sang in the group Shalamar before she went solo.

We can dance to any type of music! Take that Saturday Night Fever. Love that movie and the Bee Gees. ❤
THE BEE GEES, THE BEE GEES, THE BEE GEES !!!
Everyone looks like they're having so much fun!
People make fun of The Bee Gees but they’re gifted songwriters and their beats are tight
💚
Really? I've never heard any one make fun of them. Why?
No one made fun of them.
I love how they all just went for broke with their dancing. Everyone had something unique and interesting going on. I couldn’t truly appreciate the show when I was a kid, but I love seeing these clips now.
In the 7os Soul Train was like the DANCE STUDIO...Then they did the line walk....Man EVERY saturday morning...DANCING.
I sometimes feel like I was born in the wrong era, but honestly we can bring this energy back if we all try hard enough.
Learn ballroom dancing, especially Salsa. You will be on the dance floor just like them!
Ill come to your party!!😂🤩🤩
if that isn't success what is?if im not mistaken soul train had black artists on it;s show.
Thund3rbolt There were a few white ones as well but yeah mostly black
@@XP9724 If had u had a soulful vibe or had some legit funk to offer ....You might have very well gotten an invite from Don.. Race never mattered ..if you could BRING It.
@@darhyllacy3671 Exactly music has no color it just better move the damn people to continue celebrating it.
Realmente não existe mais nada tão artístico e alegre como nesta época! Sensacional! !!!
Love it,love that polyester look.Good memories when it was nice to get on the dance floor and enjoy yourself.
I love the excitement the dancers had for this song! It's rare they got this hyped.
Pure joy from all of them... (smiles)
Just love this song. They r just feeling the music.

I've seen it all.

Now this is culture.
People actually wore clothes back then, instead of being more than half naked.
Wouldn't you just live to know where these people are today??
