The fact that she was hot but conservative, and dancing a snake dance down the Soul Train line but writing about sports... We stan a well-rounded queen. 😍🔥
YES! This is my blood auntie! She’s always been this amazing and this beautiful from what I remember growing up! I love you auntie this is amazing I love you!!!😍😍
She could not only dance, but she was in excellent physical condition also, flipping in heels is/was no light accomplishment. She still looks like she can cut a rug...
Back in the day we played outside, helped our parents with house chores, hulla hooped, jumping rope , skating eating home cooked meals . Not fast foods unless It was a treat once in a while. People helped each other out. We were more in UNITY 💪👊👍
Loved her style and energy and was thrilled to see Diana on TV each week. Plenty of great childhood memories of us growing up dancing all of the time. Hope to reconnect with Diana❤‼️
As a child, when I watched Soul Train, I could feel the love and positivity through my television screen. It was real. It was genuine. It could not be faked and these interviews are all the proof anyone needs. I am so grateful for this channel. These days, we all could use a little love, peace, and soul.
I just love how all of the former dancers say that it was just a wonderful experience. They all describe that environment as a “family-type” atmosphere, where people just had fun and lifted each other up (as opposed to many sad and traumatic stories of people in entertainment). I just love that so much!
Wouldn't be nice to see all the dancers showcased back dancing together one last time? We're all older now, but it would be so nice to see if while they were dancing the video editor's could highlight their younger selves with how they're now. Give a thumbs up if you like this idea?
David Edwards, I don't know if they would be able to get up off the floor, if they tried to do some of the stuff now that they did back in the day! LOL!! I'm almost 60 myself and when my children see me trying to dance to Soul Train videos now, they say, "Momma, don't even do it, so we don't have to help you back up!
@@tammyc259 I really think some of them could still do it, maybe not as hard or going down to the floor....but they probably still got it for the most part.
As a child I remember watching Diana Hicks on Soul Train and thinking this woman is beautiful. All of these years later and she's still a beauty. Go 'head Diana all of that dancing has kept you looking amazing.
I would LOVE to see BET do a Soul Train reboot special bringing back dancers from the beginning up through the 90s. I was working as an RN in the early 90s at the one particular hospital...and on Saturday morning no matter how sick those patients were when you were in their room they had SOUL TRAIN on...I would linger a little longer to catch an act while giving meds or doing a treatment....never will forget that it was nice to see patients smile...and if they could nod their head to the beat
I’ve watched a couple of these videos of the Soul Train dancers reminiscing about their experiences and what sticks out to me so far is how humble most of the dancers are . They are so talented! Brag a little! So far everyone has had really positive stories and it’s nice to see that happen in show biz.
I love love love these clips! One thing I've noticed is that these former dancers have aged so well. They all look fantastic! The women were so beautiful and nice natural bodies, no fake body parts. Brings back so many memories of nostalgia that makes me a little sad that we'll never get these days back.
I remember her! Especially that moment when she was slithering on the floor down the Soul Train line. Lol. As a kid I was GLUED to that TV screen. I was secretly learning how to dance since we were devout christians and forbidden to listen to rock and roll music. I fantasized about being on that show! Yeah I'll dance and be a devil. Lol.
I can relate because I missed years of Soul Train we went to church on Saturdays. Seventh-Day Adventists no tv or radio from sunset friday to sunset Saturday but if I was lucky and went to my cousins house they had it on or if you were sick and stayed home had to sneak and watch.
I had a big crush on her and loved how she would be smiling and then get this intense look on her face while dancing. It's good to see her now and hear her story.
I was 70's Soul Train when it all started! But my younger Brothers watched Soul Train in the 80's anf this was their Lady!! ."LEGS" "THE LEGS" That was their Soul Train Dancer!!!
I grew up as a little girl watching Soul Train, during the 1970s. My two favorite Era's for Soul Train were the 1970s & 1980s. I loved the Fashions, Music and Togetherness from those two Decades. Well I'll speak for myself and say that my fondest memories would always be towards the 70s & 80s✨
@@toussaintjulie3171 , I was Teenager Lady, during the 1980s. I loved the Fashion from my youth Years. The 70s & 80s were two Unique Decades that we would never see again. I wouldn't even hesitate entering into a Time Machine.
I always was torn between the 70's and the 80's...I love the scene in both generations but for different reasons...perhaps if I could be 20 for any era, id go back to 75 and live it through 85. Ultimate decade!!
I’m so glad for these stories! All of the dancers were like friends and relatives that we watched every Saturday for decades! So good to hear their story!😍
Diane & I attended high school together in Chicago. She is an awesome person. We get to see one another when se attends our class reunions. Stay blessed Diane Hicks 😘
70’s is my personal favorite! The music was so rich back then. Curtis Mayfield, Parliament & Funkadelic, Earth Wind & Fire, Issac Hayes, War, Teddy Pendergass, Ojays ect…The fashion and hairstyles were legendary. Smh I hope they bring this show back.lol I would love to audition.
The Soul Train Gang seems like such nice people. I can see why they say it felt like family. Also I love the way they find the exact clip of what ever memory they had so we can see it. Great job all around.
Growing up on Westside of Chicago, I watched Soul Train every Saturday to study the dance moves and admire the beautiful ladies. Serving in the U.S. Army, I did dance moves when running and singing Cadences while marching. Still today when running on the streets, I do dance moves passing store front windows and love the freedom of wireless headphones. My military tour in Germany allowed me to DJ and run with the style of peace and soul!
She mentioned modeling I knew it. I used to see her dancing on Soul Train, during the 1980s and I would say that she looked liked a Model. I loved her dancing wardrobe attire on the Show. She is still beautiful🌹
I just thought you were so adorable Ms.Diana Hicks Sherer. I was always amazed how you and others did them flips, in those shoes, in those outfits, ON THAT FLOOR! I remember, emulating your "snake dance" and always thought of you, while dancing in the mirror at home! You always looked super young with your hair pulled back. Continued blessings. Hmm, seems like no one was doing the snake dance til you perfected it!
In between Sat cartoons..... Totally remember her... Remember those legs, and remember those dresses...... She left an impression!!!.... These people were total stars!!!!....
Another soul train legend have spoken Dana Hicks you are part of black music television history and that's something to be proud of this one is for you 🌹
So do I! We need more black animations. I think this artist could do a great animated tv series! I'm a writer and a visionary. I see it being very successful with relatable story lines and musical moments.
I have really enjoyed this series, I remember going to my great grandma's house on Saturdays when I was a kid and watching Soul Train. And of course dancing in the living room while it was on 😍
I could watch these Soul Train stories all day.
I've literally been watching these since this morning🤣 so about 3 hours... STRAIGHT!
The fact that she was hot but conservative, and dancing a snake dance down the Soul Train line but writing about sports...
We stan a well-rounded queen. 😍🔥
Soul train should be on dvd from each decade. Its history
ua-cam.com/video/Cxdgrb4U1hY/v-deo.html
I would buy in a heartbeat
Agreed
Same here I’ll buy it
Yes! A box set. I would buy it and it would be nice if the money would go to the dancers.
Soul Train attracted the most beautiful people... inside and out!
These dancers grow old gracefully. Omg!
That's coz "Good Black Don't Crack! Neither Does it Bag or Sag!" Sidenote: It does 'melt' tho, so remember to moisturize! One LOVE TO ALL!
It’s the Soul Train genes!
@@theknow7557 💯
Ikr most of them are in their late 60 or early 60s and don't look it
That's because they keep doing what they love
YES! This is my blood auntie! She’s always been this amazing and this beautiful from what I remember growing up! I love you auntie this is amazing I love you!!!😍😍
Awwwww 💛
@Jade Cheatham WOW!! This is your aunt?? Awesome 👌🏾👌🏾
Your auntie was a fabulous dancer. They need to come out with Soul Train Dancer Barbie Dolls, and make one after her. I would buy it.
Nice! I’m over here in Chicago & to hear she’s from this city it cool. She was gettin it on that dance floor too! *Stay safe everyone*
Awww she's beautiful! She had some great times! ❤
She could not only dance, but she was in excellent physical condition also, flipping in heels is/was no light accomplishment. She still looks like she can cut a rug...
I love how slim, fit and natural their bodies were.
...n the modern hair man. What's with this straight n wet look. The tight curls were sexy

She had an amazing figure 😍
Yep, before GMO / Franken foods...SMDH!
One of the few female dancers that actually danced! She wasn't doing the cute girl bounce. She really danced!
I want Rosie Perez former ST Dancer '86-'88 Now!!!!!!!!!

That pink outfit was fierce!
it really was!

When I was little, I thought these were just regular audience members who just really knew how to dance! lol

Bring back Soulllllll Train and the world will become a better place!💃❤️🕺!
exactly
It needs to be updated and brought back.
I wholeheartedly agree!!💃🕺💞💋💝✌🎶🙌🤗
These outfits are giving me life🔥🔥🔥.She was beautiful still looks young .
So glad they did not leave her out. She was a vital element to the show as well.
You were one of my favorite dancer. In fact, it's why I started to dance, and still do. So. Thank you so very much! Peace
Keep dancing 💃cause when these clubs open back I will definitely be going shake a tail feathers!💃🔥

You captured so much style, beauty, and grace with your athleticism. You were and would still be an absolute dream to dance with.
Her legs was so long and she was sophisticated, I remember wanting my aunt to dress like this when she came home from New Jersey 😁😁😁Good Memories
Oooh, Soul Train was EVERYTHING on a Saturday! No weekend was complete without tuning in to see the Soul Train line!
The cartoons on this series are so cute!!
I love these, because I wanted to be on Soul Train so badly as a kid!! Its nice to know that the dancers had as much fun as we did watching it!! ❤

What a phenomenal era, show, music, styles and real beauty! ❤️💯💪🏻🎶💥👏🏻 TAKE US ALL BACK ASAP!! 🙏🏻

No exaggerated implants or botox filled faces just natural beauty, fit and healthy bodies. Loved the Soul Train dancers💕
