I was growing up all the way in Ghana, and all my friends that participated in disco dance competitions every weekend, would crowd in my poor mom's living room, just for 30mins to watch SOUL TRAIN! We learned, the steps like our lives dependend on this, I remember telling people that Don Cornelius was my relative, becos he looked so much like an Ashanti man, and a couple of "inrants" believed me too. Hahaha! When I got to the states, all I wanted to do was go to a soul train show. Didnt even know where it was. In the states, I never missed a show...oooo I could go on and on. There's none other than this era! Anyone who didnt grow up in the 70s 80s, never lived, and definitely never saw, pure, unadulterated youthful fun fun fun! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️aaaw, what can I say

    I've seen him in a few sitcoms, such as In Living Color, The Jamie Fox Show and maybe a movie or two. I knew was also a comedy writer for a few shows. It was very apparent that he could really dance. Anytime an acting role included dancing, his skills and his personality would quietly explode on camera. I've seen Alex on Def Comedy Jam and he was super intelligent, brilliant, relatable and funny as hell.
    I've always thought he possessed a unique and special quality.

    This is so nice to see. I've always known him as a comedian and actor. Nice that he started on Soul Train.
    The nice fun fact was him dancing with Omarion's mom.
    Please continue these

    Wow I never knew he was a ST dancer! Or even danced! I thought he was a just a comedian and actor. He maybe the 1st (and only) dancer to come back and host the show

      @nickfreshalive 3 роки тому +1

      he wasn't the only dancer to come back to host, but he was the first. Darnell Williams - Jesse from All My Children - originally danced on ST in the 70s and came back to host in '95. I'd like to hear his story as well.

    The scene where he did the scramble board was when they played ROSES ARE RED by THE MAC BAND in 1988. Because I still watching that UA-cam video of him and his partner putting together FRANK ROBINSON.

And by the time we graduated high school there was smartphones WiFi and social media . I always tell people that our generation has seen more rapid technology changes than any other!

    I didn't know him as a S.T. dancer either. I just know him from different movies and I always got a kick out him cause he was always funny. Anyway I'm glad he got assisted by the Wayans into the business. God bless him.
