what is the project you are working on with rosie perez? i saw something on imdb.com

I was on the phone with my man CLOWNING for an hour. Clowning that fake-ass Rose Royce(a group that madnt mattered since before they started putting their faces on the album covers) to Chico (obvious) to the bs r&b of the late 80's.

I loved that everybody had on the "eddie muphy in golden child/bobby brown in the girlfriend video" leather capskully thing. took me back

>@ 34:22 Rosie Perez..good lawd.

amen to that bruh.

lol

the intro had me dying. the line of ho..i mean dancers was funny
what was up with that couple looking crazy?

rose royce...this was what black bands had 2 succumb 2 by 1987..it was embarrassing 2 c those cats. the music was all synthesized but they had 2 be up there acting like there was a real horn section.

the lead singer....was that ny's momma? lol

chico...whoa...he was definitely someone's beyotch...talk 2 myself sounded like a ripoff of janet's what have you done...

now the reason this show got some xtra points from me
1)donna allen's 'serious'--i 4got all about that jam
2)rosie's hidden during the intro/her janet line routine
3)jesse's (she) i can't resist....that is my JAM!!!...what happened 2 songs with parentheisis?
4)the wop/cabbage patch/prep/reebok was in full effect on this ep

Eclectic Soul/Sunday, 2-4 PM est/89.3 WCSB.ORG

alfie kohn is a genius.

He looked like he was dumb shook
Either that or he had absolutely NOOOOO personality.

Dont even get me started on the Choreography!

What dance was he doing with his damn arms?!?!?

It was the fruitiest Dance on Earth.

That being said, alot of the dudes dancing on the show in that area were Wild Fruity looking so I guess that was just "the Thing"

Eclectic Soul/Sunday, 2-4 PM est/89.3 WCSB.ORG

Chico's gear was horrible and his dancing looked like the moves that were probably rejected by the Jacksons! Rosie was workin it down the soul train line with the dudes. I had to rewind it several times for my husband because he was Lovin It! (c) LB. I always wondered who was the chick with the really long hair! Y'all know who I'm talkin about! I remember seeing her on every frackin episode of Soul Train in the 80's.

This was a gem of an episode. I hated Rolls Royce's performances. But, it took me back. I wish I still had my leather skirts. I was only 5 or 6 but I knew they looked good!


Girl you so fine, kiss your black behind
I'll tie you down and make you mine
I want you to scratch my itch...and be my b*tch
Cause I love you gurl!

-Tasty Taste, Fear of A Black Hat

funny how he went from that to his "Iggin Me" era image.

Especially after he got out of jail.

This episode was @@@ for me.

Highlights:
* The Chick on the Riser during "Serious" with the lollipop.
* Jody Watley's video. (amazing how simple that video was, yet still quite breathtaking and timeless it still is... too bad Don C. pulled a BET and didn't show the car exploding).
* Rose Royce's "Lonely Road"
* Jesse Johnson's "She (I Can't Resist)"
* The shock and awe of the dancers singing "Respect Yourself" at the songs' fade.
* Rosie Perez's choreography during the line. Who knew in less than two years, she'd be acting and putting that whole Soul Train image to bed?
* I didn't know The Commodores did that song... For some reason, I do like it.

Another thing: Did anyone notice the strong Motown influence on this episode? Out of all of the episodes from this time, it seemed like Don was playing the living hell out of all of the Motown records. Maybe it was because Berry Gordy was about to go out of business? hmmm... makes you think...

BY THE WAY: QUEST, Louie did the Hi-Five with Leland.

Never throw toilet paper on a bear.

I was expecting the second coming of Michael Jackson the way you described it....I'd have missed it if you hadn't ran on about it.

You know how you see something from way back in the past and you end up remembering simple subtle things about the instance/event/happening?

Hes saying that this is something that he remembers from this EP that was a big deal to him(remember he was young. we were all amazed by small things). Just something that really stood out and stuck in his mind.
I dont think he was suggesting that the "Clap" changed the world as we know it, just his(sorta!)

at least thats what i got from it

I remember that Donna Allen song... that album (Satisfied) was pretty good as well

I clearly remember the Bruce "Return of Bruno" Willis remake of Respect Yourself... but I didn't remember hearing Mavis all over the song (assuming that's her)

(btw, does anyone else remember the "Return of Bruno" HBO special, a segment of which featured Bruce-- er, "Bruno" and his band performing on a Soul Train-esque show called Bless My Soul? Back then I thought it was a shot at Soul Train but now I don't think so)

Wasn't a fan of the "dark" Commodores single... ditto the Bunny DeBarge single...

No comment on Chico's wardrobe, since all you fashion mavens have trashed his gear enough (though he did look like the gay inspiration for Captain Jack Sparrow)... I really dug the songs, though

No comment also on "Rose Royce"

This week's Soul Train Line was GREAT (hi, Ms. Perez)... (She) I Can't Resist is one of Jesse's best songs (coincidentally, I remember back in '87 when I tried to organize my own, non-televised-a-brother's-just-bored version of Soul Train, with my cousins and their friends as the Soul Train Dancers, and yours truly as Don/the DJ... this was the opening song of that particular "show")

Ultimately, though, this episode was just... there...

Lonely Road was a bad jam.

Sorry folks.

If your wondering why it's taken me so long to post a link, it's because i've been having some strange techinical problems that are only specific to the Soul Train episodes. After going through a series of edits, re-edits and quality issues, I am not able to provide a copy of episode 529, or any episodes for that matter until I can resolve the issue. I've notified meeshell and im pretty sure she wil come through with a full and clean version of episode 529 shortly.

again, my apologies.

Okay, I just took a stroll over to the soultrain website and peeped all of the episode line-ups.

Questions...

1-In Episode 746 what songs did Dela Perform?



2-In Episode 773 what songs did the Boogiemonsters perform?



3-When the line up states that there was a "cameo" by Keenan Wayans for example, what exactly did he do in the episode? Ive never seen one with a "cameo". How did they work that into the show?


4-What criterior does Soul Train use to decide who to bring on the show? I ask because they really didnt discriminate...I mean, the Boogiemonsters were on the show!


5-When the Roots did the show, I remember that they peeved a few people (soultrain)because they performed to a live recording of the song they were performing.
-Am I remembering this correctly? Can someone fresh my memory?

-How do drummers on the show "lip sync" drumming without producing sound?

-Mute pads on the kit?

-Or do they actually have to pretend they are playing but not actually strike the drums?

-Do they just play along with the track?


6-Is there a specific reason all artist on the show are required to lip-sync?


Just wondering

Any answers would be appreciated

1-In Episode 746 what songs did Dela Perform?

* They did "Breakadawn" and and... and... dammit... I have to find that episode... I know it's somewhere in my room.


2-In Episode 773 what songs did the Boogiemonsters perform?

They only performed "Honeydips in Gotham"


3-When the line up states that there was a "cameo" by Keenan Wayans for example, what exactly did he do in the episode? Ive never seen one with a "cameo". How did they work that into the show?

* Did you see that 86 ep with Run DMC and Genobia Jeter a few weeks back..? if you did, then you also saw, following the scrambleboard segment, Dick Anthony Williams promoting the television he was on. That was a cameo on Soul Train. And since I remember that ep with Keenan Ivory Wayans, it was the same thing. He was promo'ing "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" and also talking about a sketch comedy show he was shopping to networks featuring a predomitably black cast... hmmm.

Before 1985, Don C. used to incorporate a dance segment (as a 'dedication') to the cameo guest, and sometimes, that guest would actually dance with the dancers.

4-What criterior does Soul Train use to decide who to bring on the show? I ask because they really didnt discriminate...I mean, the Boogiemonsters were on the show!

* In the days when ST was a premier music show, if the song is hot and picked up by Soul Train, the artist more than likely will be on there. It's usually based on record label affiliations otherwise, as Soul Train is basically a glamourous promo machine. And there were, from what i have heard on numerous occasions, many many artists to choose from, but only a certain few were inclined to answer back.

but yeah... Record Label Affiliations.


5-When the Roots....


** Since I wasn't there... I'll let Ahmir answer that.


6-Is there a specific reason all artist on the show are required to lip-sync?

* It's more of a cheaper way to go about it amidst the tapings. Most artists had limited schedules or weren't 'getting paid enough' to go live. And I think Don C. didn't have the funds enough for everyone to go live all of the time, either.


hope all of that helped.

Never throw toilet paper on a bear.

Thanks!

I feel more in the know now!

I didnt realize people were this in to Soul Train.

Like I knew ?uest was a big Soul Train head but you cats are impressive with this.

You got me wanting to go come up with more questions to ask an ish!

they weren't peeved....they didn't care about us...kept pushing us back til we were the last to perform. don was all "yall dont smile much huh?"

>

mute pads and air drum. some just say "fuck it" and drum. there is a great Steve Ferrone performance of "skin trade" and "meet el presidente" when Duran Duran came aboard in 1987. he was drumming on top of the track and enhanced it somewhat with an energy that actually made the dancers MORE hype.

i took a cue from The Beastie appearance in 1990 of "Shadrack" when they did a "live" version ("somebody say "Doooooooon Corn NEal Liiiious!!!"


>6-Is there a specific reason all artist on the show are

setting up live takes time. soundcheck. camera blocking. etc.

lyp synching gets you in and out QUICK.

See this leads to my feeling weird about the fact that a Dela or Boogiemonsters would be placed on the show. Unfortunately, I never saw either EP but what in the hell was the Boogimonster interview like? Im pretty sure Don Wasnt on some "Hey I really love Old Man Jacob's Well, how bout you come back and perform it for us a lil later?"

And if he didnt have much conversation for yall cats, i can only imagine that the Boogiemonster interview musta been worse than Chico's!
