Fantastic and proud answers he gave. That voice says listen to me. Not in a forceful way but carefully and proud and in a contriburtive way. Great job. Rip
I’ll say this, growing up in North Jersey this man and his creation influenced me immensely. I never worried about being second class or anything close to it because of the imagery the show and advertising provided✊🏾
The power of Don Cornelius had nothing to do with hosting the show, anyone could have done that. Don’s power was in selling absolutely tons of advertising and hooking up sponsors. As with many shows and movies of the time, it was all about how much money you could get and keep flowing. An amazing talent for creating that Soul Train money funnel.

The Legend, The Man, My Idol. What The Don did for black music on television cannot be matched.

He had a much greater influence than may have been realized at the time
Don Cornelious was one "smoove" brother.
We loved you, Don! RIP!
