RIP John Whitehead (July 10, 1948 - May 11, 2004), aged 55 And RIP Gene McFadden (January 28, 1949 - January 27, 2006), aged 56 You both will be remembered as legends.
I loved this show, so did my Mother. I remember watching American Bandstand and then Soul Train. We cleaned house on Saturday watching and dancing. Then we couldn't go to the skating rink until we watched the Lawrence Welks Show, and the Porter Wagner Show 😊❤️✌️❤️🌼
Well Im 70 and dancing mates me feel young and joyful less knee pain how I miss Soul Train. AND TRL ANTNT NO STOPPING ME FROM LISTENING TO MY SOUL SONGS LIKE I DO YOU LOVE YOU FROM G Q SO SOULFUL
I am 75 and everybody rocked this song. I thought of it as the Black National Anthem. But everyone loved the vibe of this song...including me and I am white as snow.
I agree with you 100%. However, unfortunately, it seems DJs don't. I have requested this song many times at Discos and Nightclubs, but DJs always say they won't play it because it's too old !!!☹
What a performance by Whitehead. The man could sing and loved to dance. RIP brothers, know that racism never had and never will stop us from dancing and achieving success !

Just one of the songs they would play when you went out in the 1970s, and had a really good night out dancing with the babes. Another time, another world 😎
Agreed. The intro (and it's more like 18 seconds)! The strings punctuated with the bass, and coaxed along by the horns is magical, practically mystical for me! Those luscious strings throughout the song. OMG!
Classic, Legendary never get old. I grew up on all the 60, 70, and 80's music my mom would played this all the time... I wish I can turn back time...how I miss my mom and dad 😞 Rest in paradise ❤️🌹🙏
Why is breaking, cabbage patch, peewee Herman, electric slide..etc considered "stupid twine"? Don't get me wrong, that's one of my jazz, especially the remix.
This was my husband’s and my song of celebration back in the day. When we achieved a milestone this was our go to pat ourselves on the back song. We’ve recently celebrated 50 years of marriage together and even now when I hear our theme song,I get butterflies at the thought of how naive we were. Celebrating that we weathered the storms slings and arrows… These two with their passionate uplifting talents and ,voices complemented one another supremely💃🏽🎉💃🏽🎉💃🏽🎉💃🏽
SOUL TRAIN!! We were Blessed as kuds to see good positive music and performers! Our generations today need that type of visual in their lives. Bring Good Back!
This was out in the late Spring and Summer of 1979 in the UK. Straight onto the dance floor as soon as the opening few bars started playing. Utter class timeless and musical perfection xxxxx
These dudes sure wrote some jams, but it's the bass line that makes this one legendary. One of the greatest bass parts in the history of popular music, IMO.

A Classic. Will never get old. Wish there were groups like this now. Nothing beats the music from the 70s, and 80s
You are so right
Pode passar mil anos, nunca haverá igual
Verdade, anos 70 e 80, inesquecíveis.
Maravilha!! Saudades.❤️🇧🇷

You got that right.
Pleeeeeeease 💃💃💃
Ain't no stopping me
Yes ma'am
Your 100 percent correct. That was my favorite song when I was in Junior High School and High School 70's.
This is still relevant this era still got a way to go
In 2023, I jam to this while driving like it was just released! 🤣
That's great! 👍🏽
Meravigliosooo😊❤
Pure class. Soul music doesn,t get any better. 😊
What a party
This song is everlasting. It will never be considered old. You can always jam to it. Timeless.

I agree with you 100%. However, unfortunately, it seems DJs don't. I have requested this song many times at Discos and Nightclubs, but DJs always say they won't play it because it's too old !!!☹
I’m 69/. White guy this song bring back such good’s memories especially while watching soul train good music makes everyone happy
This song give to us black people a strong message! They can’t stop us! We got the groove ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Absolutely indicative of the funk soul and disco period 1979, but all my grand children know who made the recording makes you feel good inside
THIS SONG IS DEFINITLY ON POINT!!! NOW 2024🎯🎯🎯 AND GOING FORWARD
Still one of the greatest song ever recorded by McFadden and Whitehead.
Definitely Anthony.!!!
McF & Whitehead were're also the Top Ten songs writers. Man the wrote some classic jams..........

good times here, never get tired of this music, miss those days
Former heavyweight champion, Larry Holmes’s theme song. I LOVE the message. This song will NEVER go away. Its one word: CLASSIC.
Along with Heavyweight Champs: Antonio Tarver and David Haye
I remember when OBAMA won PRES. This song PLAYED constantly. GOD BLESS Everyone on this sight. SYLVIA LEWIS KEYS FERRELL
I think it was the ring entry for Leon Spinks
@kord3 oh yeah. Whenever Larry Holmes made his entrance in the ring, this was the song he used EVERY time he fought.
Hector Camacho 3 time world champion theme song also RIP
Great song
R.I.P. McFadden & Whitehead😞
I did not know. I just looked it up. So so sad, they were both relatively young. I remember the dance floor in 1979 and this magic song.
😔😔😔
They both are gone?

I miss dancing like this. I'm from this Era and we didn't do all them stupid twines. We danced one on one.
Absolutely. It was pure soul dancing.
Why is breaking, cabbage patch, peewee Herman, electric slide..etc considered "stupid twine"? Don't get me wrong, that's one of my jazz, especially the remix.
Back when was music not this rap crap or n noise
Soul train my favorite TV program of the seventies such talent!😊

This is one of the Black Anthem.. Thank You Guys. For a Beautiful Song.
What a song man ! And how bout that dancing on the floor. So outa sight man. What a time.
HELL TO THE YEAH ON THIS ONE ❤️🤜🤛💥
Come on… I still love this and dance to it at 65…
What a damn classic song❤ and my favorite line is “ Ask them where they’re going, they don’t know” 🤗
Just listen to that base line pulling the song along and filling space in the rhythm at the same time...Genius. ✌
