I remember her!!! I had an uncle who was in love with her. He loved watching her whip her hair around. Lol.
Thank's
@@cherylbarber4493 she has beautiful hair!
Vivica??..
nah I’m good
please Soul Train, who was the other super long hair girl? I was so in love with her as a young boy !!!
That's so dope how back then with all the initial flack she got, she still had enough swag to just do her thing no matter what. She is a G
Correction...she had style.Style is real,swag is pretend
Her long hair raised up her beauty by a lot of points.
Nice picture ha!!!!!
this the woman Dave Chappelle was talking about? lol
@Ms Fairfax While agree there is an unhealthy rift between black men and black women, and an attraction to light skin and long hair, that's not entirely the reason.
It's more to do with why black folks liked Elvis before that time, or Teena Marie and Hall & Oates of that era, or Jon B and Eminem in the 90's, or Nao Yoshioka today. There is always a fascination with the "different," how someone with a different background can become sincerely immersed in a culture stereotypically not theirs.
On the other hand, white folks liked Hootie and the Blowfish so much, perhaps because his stage persona offered them an insipid sense of racial harmony.
I don't think there's anything connected to self-hatred, or something sinister about this woman's popularity on Soul Train. It's only intrigue with the different.
This is an example of humility when embracing a culture outside of your own...It didnt hurt that she had a lil funk in her moves to boot. Beautiful personality....
?????
I don't understand the comment messiah, but she was a great dancer when I was going up watching her, Jodie waltie back in the day lol 😉
I agree.
QueOnda 123 she’s STILL Japanese tho...so wouldn’t it still be apart of her culture ? This comment implies that her being mixed makes her an outsider. Thank you for telling on the Asian community and their anti blackness.
Well said
Cheryl was one of the best dances on Soul Train. It wasn't about color. It was about good dancing and having much fun. We loved her...and her hair was beautiful..she looks the same...
There was a another woman of some Asian ethnicity that danced regularly in the 2000's. Do you know her name or who I'm talking about? She stood out, IMO.
@@machtnichtsseimann she was blk though and Asian
@@saul9050 - I don't know if we are talking about the same woman. The one I saw looked thoroughly of Asian descent. I'm guessing a Filipina? Do you have the name of the woman you're thinking about?
@@machtnichtsseimann yes!!! You are correct!! I remember now there was an Asian sister that rocked it for a long time..
Amen! I wish there were Asian male dancers (or were there???)
I grew up watching her dance on Soul Train. She was my favorite dancer, I grew up wondering if she was my mother 😂; my parents divorced when I was 4 years old, my father had custody of me and I never knew my mother, but I knew she was Asian and she lived in LA. I finally met my mother at the age of 20. Thank you for sharing her story, it brought back memories ❤
Real question why do so many women keep saying she was there favorite same thing happened with j lo on living color just wondering is it because she’s not black ?
@@keem2153 maybe because she was…
@@glendafreeman6300 is she your mother?
@@keem2153 I mean OP is Asian so it could be that she connected with her, there’s also the factor that they stood out because they were in a predominantly black space. When you’re in a space dominated by ONE race and you’re the outlier that takes a lot of courage, and a lot of talent(you have to over-perform and do a lot more to prove yourself and solidify your space in one that is not usually your own.)
I think maybe bc she stood out, bc she was eye catching bc of a different ethnicity not that she had anymore talent than the rest, but obviously a noticeable difference
"Who does that high yellow b**** think she is?"🤣😂🤣😂 Girl, it's 2019 and I still hear that 🤣😂
Amanda Sheppard Wow I was on that part when I seen your comment 😂😂
😔
I'm sorry
Amanda Sheppard such a racist thing for people to say...
Lmao that was definitely racist
I remember seeing her and being so obsessed with her hair.
Yes Lord! There was another one up there with long hair too.
Amarra I also remember her; or maybe someone else with super long hair. It was fascinating. I loved Soul Train dancing!
@@ettal5woman I remember 2 girls with super long hair too . This asian girl and I thought another asian . I always thought they was gorgeous with that hair .
I was also obsessed with her and her hair too. I would faithfully watch it every week to see her and her beautiful hair.
Obsessed with HER .period
That hair was iconic.
Yes it was!!!!!
YOU know Black people and long straight hair...
@@DonnahhughesHughes - NOT black people. Black men.
Iconic to WHO? I never tuned in to a black show to see long straight hair. No black woman did.
Good for Cheryl that she got a career in Black culture for having Asian hair, but bad for black people.
@@trudesoto7807 the fact that she even had a following and this video made about her proves my point. If you don't understand that, I can't help you.
What she said really resonates with me. When you're so used to not seeing people who look like you in certain professions, it just doesn't even occur to you that YOU could do that too, despite how much you enjoy and are skilled at it.
Yes! I was in performing arts and modeling, as a kid. I thought just rich or connected people could do it, but found out there were auditions in the paper (1980s-1990s). I didn’t have a stage mom who set it all up. I was always dragging my friends to auditions, to show them anyone can do it! You just have to be interested and show up with a photo and a description/resume. Today, you have to put out videos, but anyone with time can do that. Photos/videos don’t have to be expensive or high quality. The look and talent they want is obvious, and they need ordinary looking people, too, for many roles. Everyone thinks they look or sound ordinary without high production values, but the studios do that! The same goes for many other fields. I started an urban 4-H club, cause I found out that’s not just for country kids. It’s all about helping people find their interests and pursue them. They have talent shows and science contests…so many options. I’m in the substance use treatment field now & would love to do vocational rehab, too. Wherever you come from, there are still so many things you can do & be. When we don’t see people around us doing certain things, we think that’s for “somebody else,” but it’s all in you! ❤
She was one of my faves 😍😍😍😍
She was amazing. In China they broadcast Old School Episodes that have Close Captioned.
She was also my favorite...I loved her hair!
me too
Me too
@@kittyvaughn76
That's why black people liked her! Pitiful.
These people we're stars to me growing up. Her long hair was iconic.
Yep. I remember her because of her hair!!
Yes!
My mom told me about her until I saw the old Soul Train episodes
I wish I could grow my hair that long! 😩
were, not we're
I am glad she appreciated us by being on the show. I respect that she breaking a barrier to be on the show . Glad that she gave the Soul Train credit
She was an icon of the show. I remember the "In Living Color" show doing a comic skit called "Senior Soul Train" and had an asian woman with long grey hair dancing with a walker. 😆😆 The first words out me and my sisters mouths were "The asian lady" and we laughed so hard.
Man I miss that show! A lot of greats came out of that show! :)
i laughed so hard as well lol
Yep, "Old Train"..
Yeah it was called "old train" I loved that especially Damon making fun of the song "she drives me crazy" by fine young cannibals.
Oh i remember that episode! 😂
When she said flipping through the channels and she acted like she was using a knob instead of a remote 🤣🤣🤣🤣 she made sure she was relevant with the time 🤣🤣💀💀💀
What a sweet observation ☺
She was watching tv in the 70s
Oh man. Real talk.
Yeah, being older, we let our old 70s & 80s TVs die out & didn't get a TV with a remote until the late 80s/early 90s
Is flipping. With a knob. Channel by channel. Round & round.
My momma used to call me aaalll the way n2 her room to change HER channel. I was mad as hell...Good times!🤗
I like her, she seems humble and sweet.
😍 As an asian girl who also love Soul train and fan of so many talented black musicians, Makes ME FEEL SO HAPPY hearing her story
she has more soul then any of them, most of them forgot what soul even meant.
Avrand lane ...lmaooo you’re definitely tripping!
@@blessuzo you would understand what it meant if you just thought about it
@Amber Mouzone ok YOU dont think so that person does
"High yellow" takes on a whole new meaning when applied to Asians, lol😂😂😂
thebeatnumber I’ve honestly never heard of this. What does it mean I get our skin color but is there anything else I’m missing ?
superkoolnar high yellow means a light-skinned black person.
@@superkoolnar Light skinned African Americans used to be called "high yellows" in the past.
@@superkoolnar I don't think she realises she was mistaken for a lightskinned black woman.
thebeatnumber I straight up accidentally had my coffee go up my nose when I heard that 😂😂😂😂
I’m sorry for laughing but it took on a whole new meaning when she was called that because I think the person thought she was a mixed race and didn’t realize she was Asian which made it so much funnier
I would always remember her long hair! She came and into our space, tore it up(in a good way), and she was respectful about it.
My mom meet her back in the 80s she and said that Cheryl was soooo sweet to her and her friend.
Honey I remember when you first came on I was a teenager and I was excited to see you,you and your hair was AMAZING!!!
And I as a African American female apologize to you for anything that was said out of order to you. You were a plus to the show, and I am shocked to know that another African American said that to you because we know how it feels to have another race mistreat us, so my sister thank you for all you did to help keep the show interesting 😊 .Get it girl !!!! 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Yes bigotry hurts in any way.
Totally one of my favs!!!!! I'm 40 & remember her in the 80's & 90's.
I'm 43 and I remember her too! I always remembered that long, pretty hair!
@@timothymoore6341 I'm 43 also. I was going to make that same statement you've just made lol. She was the one of the main reasons why I watch soul train.
Babe we loved you, and that HAIR was everything!!!
I always looked for her every Saturday I tuned in. She was a fantastic dancer, and one I would try to immulate as a little girl, and it's not that she was doing a bunch of complicated things she just knew what looked good. I looked at her as family she blended so well with everyone else and it's nice to know she is such a nice person and she humbly respects our culture.
I remember her being in "beat it" and "super freak".
Much respect to her for not letting opposition get in her way.
She was up there with the greats!
I can't think of SoulTrain and not think of her, she is iconic, this was wonderful to see and to see she is still doing well. Great childhood memories indeed.
The hair, and the clothes. Cheryl definitely looked very classy and so memorable. Still looking good girl!
Alisha yes she is pretty
Alisha ya eyes beautiful
I used to always refer to her as ..."that Chinese Girl on Soul Train" and YESSS,...I would always look for her!!! 😍😜
omg me too she was a star
eVERYONE DID, EVEN LATINOS WOULD CALL HER LA CHINA BUT I THINK SHES KOREAN SINCE HER LAST NAME IS SONG
Me too...👍😄
Wait I thought she was Filipino. Anywho, she was fly.
@@tiana1017 i know someone whos chinese with that lastname though
The only queen of Asian soul!😁
She's pretty♡
Soul or Seoul?
SAY THAT !
DAMN RIGHT!
Yes, thats a great way to describe her!
Cheryl was definitely the most memorable Soul train dancer..She was fierce and sassy...Loved watching her back in the day..
She sure was!!! and she could dance her ass off!!!
No she wasn't she wasn't Black that's what made her stand out. You all praise anything not Black 🙄🤡
I was a kid when I start watching Soul Train in the 70s, and I did see that Asian girl dancing. I saw she was different, not black, but when I saw that she knew how to dance, I told my sisters and brother to watch you dance, every since our eyes was glued to Soul Train from then on. Thank you 🙏🏽 for giving me a wonderful childhood of entertainment.
She was one of my favorites back in the day.
Cheryl is so the epitome of the glamour of those times! Congratulations on your success, Cheryl.
💕Definitely my idol growing up 🤗 I used to tie a towel on my head to imitate her long hair while
dancing 🤣 but my favorite was putting tights on my head for two long ponytails🤣🤣🤣 Awesome childhood memories 💕
TexasPinklady that’s so cute!
@@mimimosa259 Thank you 🤗
Lol! 2 long thin ponytails.
How about making fingernails out of school glue?
LOL!!! Me Too. My favorite was using my mom's gold shawl with fringes. Good times!
@@MrsDVK that would have been a GREAT idea 🤣
Cheryl Song did her thing I for one loved her and glad she was a groundbreaker!!❤
I remember watching 📺 her on Soul Train 4 years. The fact that she wasn't black, never bothered me. Music 🎵 and dance r universal. 🌏
💯%rite
George Jackson Yes it is
George Jackson it basically means that music and dance is for everyone and not just for one person or one group
George Jackson i know lol thats not my point tho
George Jackson yea but i was saying u can listen to any type of music and dance to anything because it's for everyone
She was my fav! I always looked for her when I watched Soul Train. She could dance her ass off! I miss Soul Train. Watched it every Saturday
This lady is one of the SoulTrain dancers that I remember very well.She's Iconic to Soultrain.
SWAG HAS NO COLOR! YOU EITHER HAVE IT OR YOU DON'T!
THAT"S RIGHT.
100%
which is why hardly no white people were on the show.
R Alvarez Beg to differ! " SWAG", A BLACK INVENTED SLANG WORD, (ONE OF MULTITUDES) ; IS 99.5 PER CENT BLACK!!! EVEN IF IT IS A HAPLOGROUP AWAY!!!! DANG!!! DON'T LET " EVERYTHANG" GO!!
@@bonitahobbs2097 First off Swag is not a black invented thing. just like every dictionary with words its a white invented thing. Second swag is based on how you carry yourself as a person...Sigh just dig up elvis's grave. you might find more there then listening to me.
She is so simple and humble 🥰
That’s sweet MJ remembered her and opened up the door for Cheryl. Soul train was the best...
Cheryl was my absolute favorite Soul Train dancer! Nice to see how lovely she is inside too.
Now other cultures should treat our people with as much RESPECT.
Amen
King Stan shhhhhh lmao they not supposed to know we know where they came out from 😂😂😂
Maybe you should treat others with the same respect, it takes two to tango
@King Stan my own kind! Lol ! No wonder the race relations here in America will never cease, with people like you! Have a good day sir!
@Ziggy Stardust are you saying other cultures should not respect black Americans? While having a David Bowie pic? David Bowie, who was inspired by lots of black artists and literally asked in an MTV interview why they don't play more music videos by black artists?
Why hate on someone whos having just as much fun dancing like everyone else within the same show and it doesn’t look like she showing off to be centre attention just doing her own thing dancing with all her soul out
Because the music genre was hated
She didn’t hate it? That’s the backwards thing about Black people...you want to ban people from actually appreciating and enjoying the culture, but ban everybody because it’s hated elsewhere? 🤔
@@kyramukyramu9873 no "its not the backwards thing about black people" do you realize that black people in america created blues,jazz,rocknroll,funk,and rap only to have them be heavily vultured by people from other cultures
Back in those days black people were very cautious of who they let into their groups ..you do realize that segregation at this point had only been over for a couple years..
@@MisfitRecords I don't blame them, they wanted something to themselves and I think they were also protecting themselves as a group because racism was still publicly accepted at this point.
Very stupid to post this when black people at that time, our elders at this point, were coming out of fighting for their rights and still had a long way to go beyond the civil rights act and Martin Luther King Jr. She wasn’t welcomed because it was a black space and we still have to protect black spaces even now because people will love our culture yet shit on and outwardly hate black people.
I remember her! She looks familiar was also on rick james video superfreak. Her hair was super longer and gorgeous.😍❤️
Wasn't alive or thought of during the time period, but growing up when I found reruns on TV, they always looked like they were having fun.
She was one of my favs....I always loved her long hair.
CHERYL🌷 .you made your mark girl....Everyone remembers you...and you did your thang girl🫶🏾
This girl was EVERY boy's crush when I was in elementary school. I'm mean EVERY single boy both Black and White.
No lies told, loved seeing her
Not really,but she was cool.
Cheryl was a crush. All da boys get crush 😋!
@Mike dav I'm a little older.. So it was Maria From Sesame Street! But still Boricua!
Lol!
I remember watching her and thinking how amazing she was and because I grew up in a racially diverse neighborhood as well as family I saw her presence as a VERY natural and excellent choice for the show.
I like the way you put that 'natural and excellent for the show' I could not agree more
I think she's one of the most memorable dancers from Soul Train and NOT just because she was the first non-black dancer. Cheryl always brought it - you could tell her heart was in it.
Lets be honest she wasn't that great a dancer. She just stood out
@@derricknregina nah. She was a good dancer
@@kyleroberts8823 she was an average or so so dancer. Rosie Perez n Jody watley who both danced on soul train are much better dancers. Black people just have a soft spot for anything that's light.
Of all the dancers that I watched religiously each Saturday at 12 noon when i was a kid, She’s the only one that I distinctly and specifically remember because she was the only person I’d ever seen (well her and Crystal Galye) who had that almost floor length hair and I never ever since then (and even now) seen any Asian person with dance moves like Cheryl Song
CHERYL YOU AND LOUIE SKI CARR WERE AND ARE MY ALL TIME FAVORITES SOUL TRAIN DANCERS !!!! ITS SOOOO SAD THAT TODAY'S KID WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE GREAT MUSIC , GREAT DANCERS AND THE FEELIN OF LOVE , PEACE & SOULLLLLLLL !!!
I THINK EVERY YOUNG DUDE HAD A CRUSH ON YOU LOL! RESPECT!!!!!
Wow! I remember watching her on Soul Train as a kid. Still looking good, Cheryl!!
For some reason I'm smiling ear to ear. You go Cheryl!
I’m glad despite that negative comment that she purposely said for you to hear, to try to shake into your core. You did not let her deter your passion for dancing/music and even more, shared it w/ the world💗I would have done the same. I would have stayed focused, kept dancing my ass off, knowing that I’m being watched w/ envy and hated on. Her weakness is my strength🤣👍🏽
I remembered her and enjoyed watching her dance too. The show was iconic and made Saturday afternoons special. She’s got a good attitude about the cultural challenges she faced hindsight can be a blessing like that.
She was great back then! ...She still" looks great too...loved watching Soul Train EVERY Saturday morning- mid afternoon😍
She was Absolutely One of my Favorites on Soul Train
She was the most memorable. I remember her more than anybody because of the hair.
she is very very pretty I love that pretty hair color she's gorgeous
SHE AGED VERY WELL, I ALWAYS HAD A CRUSH ON HER
I was young and never noticed her ethnicity...I was mesmerized by her looong hair!😍🤩😍
Girl, you're an ICON! She was a great dancer, glad she didn't get scared away.
Soul train was the only show I knew where Diversity was normal.
(Edit)
To the people that disagree, I was born didn't grow up in the United States. You guys have no clue how crazy we look to other countries with this whole race and diversity thing.
I agree.
Bringing in one Asian girl isn't diversity. That was one the least diverse shows ever. In later years it got better but for a long time there was none. He would only hire black camera men but here u are hollering it was diverse lol. You would've found more diversity in a southern baptist church.
@@lolasmom5816 that's your opinion.
I actually watched the show
And it was a breath of fresh air from watching ALL white TV all day.
You may not feel it was diverse. But my comment represents my opinion
@Teramisu Someone called a non blk woman high yellow?
@@rihannastan5405 did you not watch the video? A black woman used a racist slur.
I always thought that her male dance partner looked like Al Jarreau
Yes!!!!
She earned her spot on soul train great dancer and a beautiful lady
Yes I remember her me and my brothers and sisters used to watch soul train religiously every Saturday came on in Chicago she still looks fabulous
Thanks for sharing 😊I always wondered where she was since I was a little girl watching her on soul train
I remember watching her in the 80s as a kid. I can't believe she went to Dorsey. That was my home school!
Give it up for Cheryl......She was fierce!!
She is a Soul Tain legend!
Honestly with the low resolution and lighting she doesn't stand out from the black people that much lol.
Your opinion
Micheal Jackson, Rick James and Marvin Gaye thought otherwise
As a child I thought she was black lol.
She could almost pass as blasian with the low lighting
Yeah she looks blasian
She was one of my favorite dancers. Her super long hair really made her stand out.
We loved watching Soul Train. You were awesome.💃🏽🎶💃🏽🎶💃🏽🕺🏽
As an 80's Baby, Soul Train was on a creative and fun peak from 1984-1990, and Cheryl Song was an incredible dancer..... and part of the amazing 6 year run that featured Top 40 acts of the time. First partner with Randy Thomas and later with Myron Montgomery, her fashion sense and her dancing was always on point. I almost mistaken her with the OTHER dancer with long hair ( I believe her name was Dina Rivera... I think, but her first name was Dina ), but it was an incredible six years of watching Soul Train. In fact, some of the Top 40 acts like Duran Duran, a-ha, Thompson Twins and Go West among others were on Soul Train, heck, I remember they played Van Halen's Jump and Cyndi Lauper's She Bop on the show. Back to Cheryl, she may have half the length of her hair now, but she is amazingly beautiful, I bet she's in her early 50's, anyway, thanks for posting this video.
( Now if we can resurrect some 80's.....nah, like a completed Rubik's Cube.... let's leave it be....and just reminisce. That'll work 👍. )
I think when she came on the show, since I never missed one...she was a courageous dancer, as she said feeling out of place in a sense, in showing her moves and just being a part of history was amazing for her and all of us. I loved her and am glad to see her again. Lovely video. 🌹🌷🌸 💜
As a Taiwanese who loves to dance ....this is so cool!!! Music and dance knows no race
She was just as much a part of the fabric of the stone groove of Soul Train.
she's so cute, what a lovely bubbly personality.
I was in love with her when I was 9 years old. Never knew who she was, she still looks great.
I REMEMBER HER CLEAR AS DAY💯💪🏾💃🏻
Cheryl is the only one I remember the most because of the hair and smile.
i luv the fact she continued with it...some of us black folks can b hard on others that step into our territory lol no lie lol
But when we dabble in others peoples step we get shunned and it’s ok..
Sooooo true
So sad and true. We bitch about racism and discrimination but we perpetrate it towards other races also.
@@visioday1814 Really? when has that happened?
@@vxy357 Never, because they really don't have any.
I love how she tell the stories.. Make me smile..
When you understand "flipping through the channels" while flipping your wrist is...Paramount
It wouldn't be Soul Train without Cheryl. I thought she was native American Indian and to me as a kid I never even thought it was wrong that she was there. Her long hair fascinated me.
its wild that there is still american that called the natives as indians.
😯Cheryl was 62 years old here and Wow! She looks great!
Yea I remember cheryl, when I saw her on soultrain it made me think as a young kid that black people didn't discriminate, to the a Asian lady fitting right in was awesome cheryl smile a lot and had fun she was very comfortable around black people and i adored her for that.
I’m So Honored To Hear The Stories From The Soul Train Dancers!! I Loved and Watched Them Every Sat. Wonderful!!!
I love her honesty and how she expressed her feeling but kept pushing!
wow this was a beautiful testimony. I have so many fond memories growing up watching Soul Train and everyone talking about it everywhere until the next show. Im so glad to hear the stories of success from the dancers. Don Cornelius was an inspiring genius.
Ohhhh she was my favorite! That hair swishing around was mesmerizing to my little girl eyes.
These interviews are such a joy to watch. I remember Cheryl and really gravitated towards her to see what she was wearing and how she was dancing. I am glad she wasn't excluded. That would have been a disservice. Cause clearly she got swag and came with her A game. LOVE HER.
Soul Train memories. Diversity ❤️ Comments hating on her for not being black just makes them look sad.
I see/hear nothing but positive comments👋❤
@@anisiahampton480 This is 2 weeks later. Some got erased but there's a few left in the replies.
@@MorrisB3 thats sad... Ppl needa quit..
How is it sad
I remember Cheryl song because she stood out against that sea of brown skin and funky moves but she held her own and became an icon on the show.
She couldn't dance for shit. Please. She was a marketing tool for the Uncle Tom market. And it worked.
@@Barbarian857 oh stfu. She obviously could dance that's why she was on the show. You're most likely just mad cause she's Asian.
@@mayjones1 stfu??? Really? Never. And I'm not going to tell you that you sound straight up stupid for making assumptions about the prejudices of someone you don't know. This woman was a marketing tool, obviously. Soul Train was a vehicle for black pride between '71 and '75, on the heels of the Civil Rights Movement, all those beautiful black people with beautiful natural hair. Song came and the camera focused mainly on her, pssh! Please! They were trying to reach the major market. This woman was no Damita Jo Freeman! Her hair distracted people from the fact that her skills weren't tight. As for those of you who think there is some special alliance between blacks and Asians, Google the nytimes article about what they really think of blacks. I have no prejudice against Asians -- I just have a valid observation regarding her dance skills.
@@jumpdumppyy Lol! Can you read? I said "Uncle Tom Market." You're familiar with it?
@@Barbarian857 first off I said MOST LIKELY, secondly, I wasn't watching her hair I was watching HER dance, and honestly you really seem to have a problem with her for no reason cause she actually could dance, maybe not as well as others in the cast but she did deserve to be on the show nonetheless.
Thats terrible that she had to face racism from others hateful comments! I used to watch her back in the days i watched Soul Train as a teenager....She looks amazing!
She broke so many barriers thank you miss song for your contribution to our culture ❤️💋 blessings flow
She looks older when she was on soul train than she does now
Man you full of it I was a young boy back in the day when she was on in the 70s I had to stand up on a milk carton just to watch the old box TV with antennas now I'm an old ass man with diabetes had a heart bypass and getting ready to go into a retirement home what the fuck happened question mark this woman engaged today. Life ain't been kind to me I don't know what the fuck that happened?
joe jose Im confused , do you agree or disagree lol sorry about your health btw. I recommend moringa for your diabetes, it’s a plant that’s basically magical, not super easy to obtain but I’m sure you could if you looked online. Good for a lot of things, not just diabetes.
@@Softnsweetbb ok I will can I ask you for a favor? Please share my GoFundMe link to as many social media Outlet as you can I'm recovering from heart bypass surgery and it's kicking my ass at the age of 61 I won't be able to work or do anything

@@Softnsweetbb thank you my friend I looked it up and saw a lot of UA-cam videos about this wonderful plant and I'm headed to Walmart first chance I get to buy me a big ass bag because I don't seem too many testimonials.

That's where I've seen her on 'Beat It'!
she went to Dorsey High School she must be older than me I think she is because I went to Dorsey High School and I'm 52 because I remember watching her on Soul Train and I was young I used to watch Soul Train just to watch her dance because I'm like wow she can dance really good and to watch everybody else dance and I like the clothes back then I love the 70s clothes and I like to dance steps that they had but she looks really really good she's very pretty but I didn't know she was from the hood LOL
She's 75 years old.
She went to Dorsey just like my family
@@stellabellafontay9366 no way...
@@goldieslacks No she's anywhere from 58-61 years old since she said she was in high school in 1976 when she started on Soul Train.
Yeah, she's abt 64/65, she attended wen my x husband did and he's 64
❤❤Cheryl wonderful interview.Thank You.❤ Go Soultrain.
If you do the math she’s 63!!!! Omg she looks amazing !
