"with guest stars: Run DMC, Genobia Jeter 09-22-07"
Sat Sep-22-07 11:21 AM by 15

  

          

i think i touched on the subject the last time run dmc was on TBOST. but pretty much their appearance on soul train meant that my week would be doomed. all 3 times on this show and either i was on punishment, or some force of god came in and prevented me from watching it.

this milestone missed episode came courtesy of "the hubenthauls".

my parents had slowed down the weeks on the road activity once i was in high school. they still did one nighters on the weekends, but they were home for the most part on weekdays. but once in week november proved to be too lucrative to resist and my dad accepted a gig in toronto.

only problemo was "where would ahmir stay?"

as a child i stayed at my grandma's but they didn't want me in southwest philly coming of age with only a 74 year old woman watching me.

they thought about taking me with them for the week and study on the road. but my principal suggested that he ask some of the families if i could stay for the week while they toured.

eh..guess that's cool.

enter karl hubenthaul.

the only way i can describe karl in my school is a young dwight shrute (the office).

he came from a quaker family turned christian (this was a christian school i went to before CAPA where tariq was) and they were pretty much a bigger version of the flanders on the simpsons. even though it was a fun new experience for me, i have to say...

i was NOT feeling "reading a book instead of tv ahmir"

well...i thank em for my habit now....


but then?


shieeeeeeeeeet.

much like the sheila e story two weeks ago this too was a hair brained scheme turned rotten.

there was no tv in the house.


well....there was one in the closet.

it came out SPECIFICALLY for the cosby show and dr who--nothing else.



i can't imagine NO house without tv: tried to watch miami vice. nada
i tried to beg em to let me watch the blackest snl ever with malcolm jamal, spike lee, branford, and this weeks special guest (and no NOT genobia) but nada
no alf
no moonlighting.
not even dancing on air

so how was i gonna convince this red state crew to let me watch soul train?

i devised a plan: instead of mr H driving to my drum lessons i volunteered to use karl's too small bmx to my drum lessons. there i would detour to my house in west philly and then set the vcr to record ST and escape before my nosy ass neighbors saw me (the warwicks)
well that fell to hell for two reasons:

one mrs warwicke was sweeping the porch with a puzzled ass look on her face like "yall back already?"--so she knew my parents were away. so i tried to weasel myself out without her snitching that she saw me to my parents. (i claimed i was looking for an after school job check) i had a half hour to make a decision and i thought that my best bud mark mansuray would be home.

NADA!!

its 10 mins to 12 and there is no tv in sight. i got a bmx made for a kid with a back tire begging for mercy. my last hope to see any part of this episode is to run to Sound Of Upper Darby electronics and pray that the 40 tv display would be showing soul train.

the journey was pure comedy: almost got hit 2ce running red lights to see this shit.

only to get there and get a "no" when i asked them to turn up the volume.

i arrived right at the half hour mark. i "assume" "hit it run" was the song performed because of the animated way run looked like he was beatboxing. (my second guess is "proud to be black" was performed based on movement)

i also saw Hurricane (former dj for the Beasties...official OG of "hanger ons" tied with E Love of LL's camp) for the first time. didn't know what Don was saying to him but i can assume he asked what his purpose was. (matter of fact...i think there were 2 hanger on cats onstage with em.)

this also remarks the return of ROSIE ALERT!!

i think she told me this was her first show. JMJ stopped the taping to tell dmc "that chick looks like the girl we went to high school with"

and it turns out she was (she thought that was game until he proved that indeed he went to that high school)

i wont talk about much more...

i will say that this is the second time i cheated in not knowing the history of an artist on this show.

i guess this is now the official THE BEST OF SOUL TRAIN post.

the cause for mourning is of course the ongoing demise of black music

the cause for celebration is now we can find a clue on how we lost it.

record this show and share folks.

good looking to 58 and chelle.

save your money....ill lookout for the cookout

(if you find a listing print it imma send my myspace peeps here)

i got this note from a pal

Check Your Local Listings, because during the weekend of 12/09/06 (December 9th, 2006), there will be a vintage episode of Soul Train replaying on US broadcast television!!!

This is your chance to get some episodes of Soul Train from the 70's and 80's (and hopefully, in its entirety) in DVD quality!

and during the weekend of the 9th, the replay will be episode number 79, with Barry White, Love Unlimited, and ALL of the Love Unlimited Orchestra; The Temprees; and Miss Lola Falana.

Make sure you record, because since Soul Train is not avaliable on DVD or VHS (yet?!), this is may be the only time you get to see REAL Soul in action! Who knows how long this will be going on!


PASS THE WORD TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS! EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS!

NO! LIST

Springsteen

39. "CLASSIC EP!"
In response to Reply # 17


  

          

the scariest soul train ever.
(and this is from my 5 year old memory---this came on at night---i think on my moms bday oct 18th 1975)


the "get on the soul train" theme and animation SCARED me
the "shame on the world" cover scared me
the last 10 seconds of the "why cant we be friends" video scared me (the smiling devil from the cover)
man--like this is the ONLY memories i got about childhood.

i remember when donnie interviewed lonnie from war and he (lon) was running all across the stage and don was chasing him while interviewing him

i also remember that besides the average white band, war was one of the few group Don let play on the actual floor as opposed to on the cramped stage---so they performed on the floor.

i "think" (i could be wrong) that besides the title track, TME performed the alicia key'd sampled "let me prove my love to you.

war played live as well so you might wanna get this one cause they do a great job of "smile happy"

I hope they keep the Soul Train lines in. The Soul Train VHS tapes I got (with the Japanese sub-titles) had the Soul Train Lines cut out (!?!?!?!) Thanks Quest for posting this! I'll definitely be checking this out. Now, if only I can catch an episode that has the Bar-Kays or Switch...

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

When I was a kid, this was a show my parents always watched, and I wish them. It brought back a lot of memories.

A few things to note about this episode:
1) No fake titties
2) EVERYONE looking like they're having a good time
3) Pop-locking was very much in effect, and it was funny to see some of the guys wanting to bust a move during a ballad
4) Nothing against my fellow Asians, but there were none
5) That one lady who was doing some wicked moves throughout the show busted out to do The Robot
6) When will you ever see, on TV, someone dancing to Earth Wind & Fire pre-1975, yet alone "Evil"? Line dance, kalimba solo, it can't get any better than that. Well, other than when James Brown performed live, switched to four different songs during his set and freaking out the crowd.
7) Emphasis was on ALL the dancers, even those on the floor. It wasn't just the elite people on stage and up in the cage.


I hope they run the O'Bryan-era of "Soul Train" soon too, but I hope they do this more with the 70's shows.

In response to Reply # 56


  

          

It is cool to see these shows, complete with original fonts. But I agree, Don Cornelius needs to syndicate these old shows again, or offer it exclusively to a network that would treat it with respect.

One reason why they haven't released it on DVD is due to licensing and clearances, especially since many of the early episodes were live performances. Artists, publishers, labels, managers, and agents would have to get involved, moreso with artists whose music may have been purchased by another label, that is owned by another, and another, and another through consolidation. Then again, Dick Clark managed to release some of American Bandstand's classic performances.

In response to Reply # 58


  

          

when reg took the pres-o-dent job at BET his first mission was to cop fat albert, the jacksons 76/77 show and soul train.

he said don was holding out for his own cable network.

he ran out of steam once he realized he never got lifetime clearance for the songs that the dancers danced to.

when i do shows now we sign all these forms so that way they "own" the performance and song.

like mtv dont pay for publishing cause they say "fuck you we promoting yall shit...so PAY US!"

but of course the way it is --anytime a song goes on the airwaves you should get paid for that song. unless you strike a deal. and i guess don aint have the "vision" to see what the future held to get clearances.

again harry at universal says all the motown performances belongs to them (berry made a trade in which the soul train performances could be owned by motown so that they could act as videos/promotional devices for the artists that weren't able to travel abroad

so being as though Universal owns the world (def jam, motown, a&m, mercury, polygram, interscope, geffen, mca, etc) maybe this could come on dvd---they are "flirting with the idea"

71. "Sad, but not a surprise"
In response to Reply # 67


  

          

I know that in the 80's, as MTV came to be and a few years later BET, a lot of record labels questioned why anyone would care about a television performance, since that was viewed not only as a promotional tool for the album or a concert tour, but it was a one time thing, not meant to be preserved. Now look at any late night informercial for any album from Time/Life or Razor & Tie, and all of them are promoted with television performances. For us, we know how these artists look because we buy or have come across their records, but for a younger generation whose only exposure to these songs are from movies, television shows, or radio, seeing a band like Orleans or even The Main Ingredient must be a shock.

Back to Soul Train, I have the CD box set that Rhino Records (Warner Bros.) came out with, and no less than two years, MCA (Universal) came out with their own. It seemed very quick, and I wondered about that. Now it makes a bit more sense.

I don't think anyone had any idea about the value of old television performances, but look now, there are tens of box sets out everyday. Electric Company came out with a box set and I believe a Vol. 2 is due out next year. A new Simpsons box set arrives every six months. I would not mind seeing "Rebop" or "Zoom" box sets, I'm sure Universal would somehow own the rights to "Rebop", or try to find a way to since Quincy Jones did the theme.

It is interesting that you have to give up your rights even for "Soul Train", moreso because you play live and that makes those performances "of value". But that is "the biz".

327. "LOL... it was a very good show"
In response to Reply # 166


  

          

For me, it was the song *first*, and then I got into the TV show, because I don't think the PBS channel in Honolulu was showing it. It was just "Sesame Street" and "The Electric Company", but once "Rebop" came on and I watched it. "Zoom" was my show though.

However, when I first saw "Rebop" I remember thinking "that's the Brothers Johnson playing that". Most six year old kids probably could care less but... anyway, it was cool. It would be nice to see some Rebop again.

In response to Reply # 43


  

          

Much navigation was done by the Chinese in the mid-1800's, which lead to the slave labor that came to Honolulu, along with the Japanese and Filipinos, and later Koreans. Major hubs included Honolulu (when Hawai'i was still a Territory) San Francisco, and New York City. Many Chinese who navigated to these places decided to travel a bit more, and a small number of them migrated to Jamaica, which in turn created a Chinese community that remains to this day.

Early 1970's, no Asians in the United States? You do know about the makeshift concentration camps throughout the West Coast during World War II, created to specifically imprison people who, according to you, were not here.

it was a best of Soul Train. they had EWF playing and cats were killing the line i've never seen. They should have this on at night instead of informercials.

I wish they would show the Minnie Riperton and Jose Feliciano episode.

In response to Reply # 60


  

          

ill send you a couple of blank dvds and postage, you burn it on the dvd as data (i.e. dont author it into a dvd movie that is meant to be played on a dvd player) so i can copy it on to my computer easily and then set up a torrent for okp to download.

i hate to see a potential dvd quality copy of soul train to be circulated as a lesser quality

In response to Reply # 75


  

          

since its torrents are open to the public without registering, and its never a problem seeding a torrent there.

im going to upload to couple others too where i could better my share ratio by seeding it there too like: oink, tvtorrents, demoind, and some others

In response to Reply # 83


  

          

you download the torrent program, utorrent is best and set it up to your connection settings (i cant help you here). and if your behind a router go to portforward.com and forward your ports

step 2.
download the torrent file, its a small file because all it is directions for the program on how to download it, and open the torrent file through the program

step 3.
the program will ask you where to save it adn it will downloading soon right after. be patient

108. "The WAR performances were great"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I've only seen late 70's-era War, and I've always preferred what they did between 1971-1976. When Don Cornelius said they would be playing a song from WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS?, I figured okay, it's 1976. What they were playing was something different, and then the dual harmonica/saxophone melody came in and I'm thinking "HOLY SHIT, THAT'S SOUTHERN PART OF TEXAS!!!"

DELIVER THE WORD is my all time favorite War album, and that's one of my favorite songs. After... 33 years (!!!) of hearing that song and creating all kinds of images in my head from it, I had a slight vision of what they may have looked like when they played. Then to see all of them in an actual room, with the amps, Howard Scott's pedals, Papa Dee Allen's percussion instruments, Lee Oskar doing his trademark harmonica moves while Charles Miller maintains the melody, Lonnie Jordan surrounded by racks of keyboards, B.B. Dickerson locked in his groove, and the core of the whole damn song, my main man Harold Brown on the drums. I always loved the sound Brown and Papa Dee made, but to think that Brown had made those primary sounds out of that small of a drum kit is amazing. The cool thing was, my vision for years of how Brown may have played "Southern Part Of Texas" was exactly like how he performed it. I liked the ad-libs being said by Howard Scott, completely different from the album version.

It's hard to explain that to someone of a younger generation the idea that for years, it was the album and the music within that stirred our imagination. You sat, with the cover in your lap, and just let yourself ride with the music. To be able to see the reality of the music, with everyone on the floor playing live, was just great. Kids had the 45's and if you were lucky, the album. Everything is very visual these days, but I think these episodes definitely offer a chance for us who were too young at the time to see them again, or to remind us of how great that time was for music. It's also a lesson for a lot of people today to see what it was like, and how it could still be.

The performance of "Low Rider" was alright, but "Smile Happy", I wish they didn't fade that one out.

was it everything i remember from 30 years ago?

did don chase lonnie around while he played guitar.
i remember being impressed that those guys started the song one by one
kinda left a reverse impression on me at the age of 5 in which i used that "one by one" method to close the Dangelo shows with each member leaving the stage.

man what else...

ahhh don holding the "shame on the world" album cover....

scary to a 5 year old watching this show in the dark at 2am.


but of all that shit i remember (and i know you think im a weirdo but TO THIS DAY i can't look at that Why Cant We Be Friends album cover without thinking of that smiling face smiling something evil at me before the fade out to the soul "already scary" animation.

so was it as creepy as i thought it was? i tivo's it but DAMN i cant wait til my 2007 return to see this.

see all this fear happened once the midnight special zappa show came on (baby snakes where that damn plimton claymation shit started all this fear)

ever since then ANYTHING animated scared me---hence why parents never let me watch cartoons.

enter soul train.

>was it everything i remember from 30 years ago?<

I would think it was. For me, who saw this footage for the first time, it was everything I thought a War performance from 1976 would be. Again, I only had the album covers to go on, and fortunately it lived up to what I had hoped to see.

>did don chase lonnie around while he played guitar.<
That I didn't see, although when Don was interviewing the band, they were definitely poking fun at some of the questions he was asking. Definitely the L.A. connection going there.

>i remember being impressed that those guys started the song
>one by one
>kinda left a reverse impression on me at the age of 5 in which
>i used that "one by one" method to close the Dangelo shows

That was cool to see, especially during "Smile Happy", and I guess in a way for "Southern Part Of Texas".


>but of all that shit i remember (and i know you think im a
>weirdo but TO THIS DAY i can't look at that Why Cant We Be

LOL... I remember when they showed that film for "Why Can't We Be Friends" for the first time a few years ago, seeing the cover come alive was kinda scary.


>so was it as creepy as i thought it was? i tivo's it but DAMN i cant
>wait til my 2007 return to see this.

I know you got into the Zappa discussions on here awhile back, but you should pick up the BABY SNAKES concert film if you don't have it already. It features the guy who does the animation, showing him doing it frame by frame, and I'm sure a lot of that footage was in that episode of "The Midnight Special".

If you ever do an out-there side project, to compact your fears, you should just go out of your way to have someone create something that demented.

In response to Reply # 0


          

watching it when it aired.

It was interesting watching the crowd react.

The Owner and I are the same age, so we had a whole different conversation than the 20 something Barbers... who had a whole different conversation than the other customers who ran from 60's to teens.

The Barry interview, where he and Don was trying to "out bass" each other was hilarious.

Can't say nothing about Lola... She batted her eyes at Don and it REALLY looked like Don was trying to push up on her.

Peace

Wendell

this is (as the soul train expert i think i is)
the RARE RARE glimpse of why i am obsessed with soul train.

don is being real smart showing the performance highlights---although in my
head i only know there to be about 16 @@@@@ performances.

al green gave about 3 of these.

the dead prez ep is from 71- i consider that a barely there @@@ lyp synch.

his return with a live band in 72 was @@@@1/2 worthy (me and d based half the Voodoo dynamic tricks on his rendition of "for the good times" alone)

this ep coming on next week (ie The Cast episode--Al throws down while wearing a cast---watch when the top of the show announcement happens and this look of absolute madness All has on his face as he holds the rose when you hear "with guest stars....Al Green!"--even the crowd roars WHOOOO!!!!)

i thought it couldn't be topped til Al came back a year later for Al Green Gets Next To You and Don gave him the whole show.

I hope you're right. I've seen the performances from that episode, but not the full episode. I've wanted to see this for a long time. I'm gonna defer to your expertise.

If you're right about next weeks episode.

Sneak Preview of next weeks episode on The Best Of Soul Train.

Al Green - Here I Am (Come & Take Me) {Live on Soul Train '72}
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JM7HBLP9

You're alot more optimistic about this than I am. I think they are randomly pulling episodes. Except this weeks. You have to look at it from a non collector standpoint. If they want to increase the viewership. Why not front-load this thing with the J5 shows, Prince, Stevie, Aretha, Motown, Electric Boogaloo's, etc.. Some people are watching these for nostalgia sake not performances. Look at the hairstyles, look they dressed like Common (sorry Com couldnt resist), "they sho are dancing funny..." As a collector I would rather they show the shows in order (my gripe with all reruns). I would love to see some of the Chicago episodes. I want this thing to get more press so it will last.

How would you program this? What are those 16 @@@@@ performances?

148. "RE:"
In response to Reply # 140


          


>87 is also the rosie perez years so it should be classic

I remember seeing her for the first time and seeing how she use to wile out on the two rows (dancing extra hard with the serious face lol). My sister and I use to think "who the hell is this crazy chick"? Then one episode on the Soul Train scramble board Don asks this lady what her name was and she responses with cute dimples "Rosie Perez". From that point my sister and I would always look for Rosie.

If my Betamax still worked properly I wish I could upload some of these old episodes. I know for a fact that I had the Eric B and Rakim episode also Public Enemy somewhere floating around.

...helll i'm looking forward to seeing those Rosie episodes ALMOST as much as the classic 70's shows...

Ahhh Rosie...there was Rosie and that 'shimmyshimmy' girl...ya'll remember the 'shimmyshimmy' girl? She always wore this tight 'shimmy' sparkley dress, (kinda like a updated 20's styled dress) and she allways did this shimmyshimmy type of dance....

yeah...i'll definitley be recording these...(and probably fast forwarding through James Ingram...no offense James, love your voice and all...but we're talkin ROSIE here!)

good loking out on this ?uest...

the only other jawn im looking for was my post rosie crush. she started dancing in 89. she was the jawn on Boyz In The Hood that Cuba Jr (btw you know that was his pops on that Main Ingredient episode right?) claimed he taught how to drive stick

"i can learn..."

and then he claims to have went to her house to hit it while her moms went to church.

she was the baddest jawn on the show (and im sorry...heather hunter has had her moments---namely in the last few years, funny how "older" brings the sexy out. just saw dominique simone last month and she's cleaned up and wearing her mid 30s real sexy.--but i didnt dig heather dancing on the show as much. too skinny no body)

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

There was a lot of white ladies dancing in this one, wasn't there? Those long leather skirts... I still get nuts over those.

Everyone in LeVert seemed hesitant to speak during the interview, which was kinda funny. James Ingram is always great, and it was cool for them to throw back and show the older clip.

And yes, the Korean lady. But damn, what was up with the white lady in the Soul Train line with the lace and being able to see up her brains? Pfftt.

In response to Reply # 152


  

          

well besides the Obryan theme?

does don let james go live? or he picked this as the best Levert episode?

i thought this was a curious choice.

i can see the reason for the first episode.

and i can see the multi angle of War

and even Patti killing "rainbow"

but was there anything going on?

I did not see anything too special about it, so my guess was that it was one of LeVert's first appearance.

In response to Reply # 164


          

i was on punishment this week and couldnt record it.
i snuck a peak at "pop pop pop" but never knew who the second artist was til now.
damn im a little salty
because don showed a classic "100 Ways" from 81 instead of letting James do a second song--now of course had i known then what i know now i woulda been REAL good this week because until YouTube i had 0 reference to the cherished early 80s episodes. by 86/87 only the Patti Labelle/Micheal Mcdonald ep, the Smokey "One Heartbeat" ep and now this James Levert ep showed "The Soul Train HIstorybook" flashbacks.

now 20 years later i aint sweating it too much being as though i know he will show more 80s episodes--but to have missed recording and watching over and over and over again for 20 years.

damn you dad!

156. "JB Episode From '72"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I think this would be the perfect opportunity for Don to broadcast the 1972 show where he gave James Brown the entire hour (along with Lyn Collins). That episode was f#cking ridulous. If I'm not mistaken, Fred Berry aka Re-Run, was dancing on this show.

Also, I can't wait to get a clear copy of that Al Green episode that's coming up (he kills "Jesus Is Waiting"). By the way, is anyone able to link up the Time/Patti episode from last week? I f#cked up while recording it and I need this episode like my lungs need oxygen!!! Please help a brotha out!!!!!!!

I've got WGN via DirectTV...what time did it air today? I swear i went through all of the programming for the next few days and didn't find Soul Train at all?

Is WGN the only national broadcast channel it's airing on or are there others too? I think the "TV1" channel also aires Soul Train too but last i checked those were new episodes...

In response to Reply # 0
Sat Jan-06-07 07:16 AM by Voodoochilde

          

Today ( Saturday ) & tomorrow (Sunday) one of the old Al Green episodes airs!!

my recorder is locked & loaded for this one....

Next weeks episode is Blue Magic & Sister Sledge...not 100% sure what year its from though....Blue Magic goes back to earlier in the 70's but since Sister Sledge didn't really hit it big till later in the 70's i'm guessing its a late 70's show...maybe 1978 or 79?....but thats just a guess. we'll see next week.

but right NOW its ALL about Al baby...

anyone know how long they are gonna do this? (air these classic episodes?)

191. "yea he killed that Jesus song!!!"
In response to Reply # 180


          

before the Jesus song he did a more uptempo number and it just seemed like the crowd was vibeing way more with the artist as he performed than crowds do today. all you see is head nods today. those people were into it.


the short bit of that episode i say today was good stuff

In response to Reply # 184


          

i went to japan
came home like moses off the mount with the soul tablets.
and THIS is where we learned about:

Dynamics-the art of silence. playing real real soft and dramatic. those cues (he really nailed this art in the 72 episode---but again....Al had a trifecta of ST appearances that rank in my top 20 of all time performances on this show. We car jacked those cues

Gospel Energy- watch him feel the power on Sweet Sixteen and again on Here I Am Baby. that was us doing Lady all day.

The Gospel Quartet Harmonies-some of the notes were "wrong" but still "right"--D taught me the difference between Doo Wop harmonies (Marvins Choice), Esoteric Harmonies (Prince's Lane), Quartet Harmonies (Al's Lane) and Traditional Harmonies (Stevie) never knew the difference but damn if we ain't wear this out

now if only these episodes would come out with some sort of FANFARE

for me was the version of Feel like making love y'all did.


Near the end when D was doing the "Aww Aww baby" with the call and response thing.....

That was Al Green all the way....


Like someone else said....Seeing this kind of footage by Al Green should be a requirement for anybody coming out with a so-called R&B/soul record....

>watching green do his thang reminds me that this is what's

>i need 2 sit down cats and make them watch this ep and teach
>them what soul/r&b means!!!!

Folks don't get it...and they won't...

I've been listening to every piece of Al material I own since I saw the Living for You Soul Train clip (THANKS YA'LL!). I was reminded of the subtle brilliance of the writing on Al's best stuff..not to mention the insanely great delivery.

Folks now...man...Al was mainly singin about 'love' (really..relationships and how they twist and turn and try to survive through everything that life delivers) and sex was somewhere in there as a part of it. Most cats now sing about fuckin with 'love' as an occasional alibi/excuse/validation of the fuckin. Folks hear someone say 'love' and that means 'fuckin' to them.

Suicidal thought: Old R. Kelly has enough sense to know the difference, and he shows it in flashes, but he's not capable of/willing to rid himself of the aimless 'let's fuck' songs(which are necessary but it shouldn't be what folks think R&B is) long enough to even come close to Al in terms of subtle depth.

I'm also loving/laughing at how Al ad-libs got to be so over the top as time went on (ie: 'let me say this one thang'; 'I'd like to take a little minute'; 'and there's something else little girl'...crazy).

Either way...Don needs to keep on keepin on with these old ST eps. I kept forgetting to set my DVR, so I don't even have the full Al. I've been downloading and youtube'n my ass off though...I ran across a few songs from the Isleys (73-74) when THEY got the whole episode. Dopeness.

I missed the rebroadcast of the War episode dammit...they already aired that one???

I have two clips from that one (War) from when it aired on Japanese TV...and that shit was wonderful...but i don't have the whole episode...(along with artists that perform i always enjoy watching the WHOLE show just as much, as a sort of time capsule from my youth)

NOTE: the weather out here has made my signal janky, so i recorded this 3 ways to see if i could minimize. this was done on the HD box, on the HD feed.

you will see some brief interruptions on Sweet Sixteen and the Q&A portion. sorry, i did my best - the download listed above has a clean version of SS.

it's still an amazing piece what was and what's missing - enjoy!

214. "I Already Mentioned This..."
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

But I think this would be a perfect oppotunity for Don to broadcast any of the James Brown episodes (preferrebly the 1972 show). His 1974 appearance on the show with the JB's also kicked ass. Seeing James direct the JB's through a couple of instrumental numbers ("One For All" and "Damn Right I'm Somebody") has to be one of my favorite Soul Train moments. Has anyone else here seen these episodes?

Also, I'm curious as to why Prince, Earth, Wind & Fire and P-Funk never appeared on the show in their heyday. If I'm not mistaken, Prince didn't make his first appearance on the show until the mid-90's Gold Experience era. Earth, Wind & Fire did make an appearance via a taped live performance at the Capitol Centre in Landover, MD on a '78 ep. For Parliament-Funkadelic to have never appeared on Soul Train at all during the 70's is quite perplexing to me. Any ideas anyone?

not to be bitchin and moanin and all...but...er...quite simply... 'yup'....

...THATS why i don't mind at all when i get accused of being a 'music snob' just because i don't get moved by and just can't waste my time with SO MUCH of the modern crap that many folks are callin 'good' or even 'great'...soo much of it is obviouly truly soul-less and devoid of craft, and it EXHASPERATES me to no end that the radio (and the listeners) are STILL eatin all that shit up AS IF it was a meal with some substance...????

but enough of my bitchin and moaning...

See...you watch and listen to Al and the band do their thing here...all organic and truly 'in touch' with each other musically on stage...i mean CONNECTED....i'm not just talking about just being a 'tight band' and hittin all the planned notes when their supposed to be hit (though they do that too)...no i'm talking about PAYING ATTENTION to the SPONTANEOUS mood and vibe of each other and where the song MIGHT be going and MORPHING to on ANY GIVEN performance... and then flowing with THAT shit, caressing THAT shit, playing and singing to express THAT shit...the subtleties...the slow downs, the break downs, the rev-ups...'sounds like Al's taking his time to tonight'...tuning into that and playing or singing to make it as POTENT and ALIVE as possible...THAT is what i'm taliking about. Yeah i know they practiced some of that stuff to a degree, but you can TELL it was an ORGANIC experience right there on stage...there was a palettable 'danger' in the performance...and in my opinion there HAS to be that tangible 'musical danger' for a performance to be truly 'alive'...a beautiful pallettable 'danger'...yeah THATS the shit i'm talking about...

so along with this Al episode, I'm doing what I'm sure many others are also doing... i recently went back and looked at some old grainy but mindblowing James Brown footage i have from like 1968, and the early 70's...same thing..organic palettable DANGER on stage...taking true musical chances... changing, reacting, feeling, expressing and re-expressing RIGHT THERE in the moment...that shit is just beautiful man...

now there are SOME modern day cats who WE KNOW are still carrying this torch for soul and funk and still striving to keep things 'alive' and 'in touch' on stage (and/or on record) in spontaneous subtle and cumbustionable ways...and we already know who most of that handful are...(it's funny because many of them that come to mind for me are already Okayartists...i mean we know that my obvious fave, Meshell is most definitely carrying this torch to the nth degree on stage, and of course The Roots, Jill, Dangelo, Mos, Badu are each doing their thing to keep it all 'alive' and 'in touch' as well...and i know there are other well known artists out there that are also doing their thing to carry on...and hopefully there are even many more underground artists who have yet to make to the masses (or at least have yet to make it to the ears of old 'snobs' like me who will continue spinning what i ALREADY KNOW is great and be completely satisfied, and who, due to family/work responsibilities, don't have a world of extra time to dig around the internet and search for hidden gems like they used to)... but know that my ears are ALWAYS open...and i SALUTE ya ALL for doing what you can do to NOT LET THIS STUFF DIE...THANK YOU and PLEASE keep on striving...

and to the rest...as Wareen C said...if you really wanna be timeless, ya know what you gotta do...

yeah...THIS is where its at...and I'll HAPPILY be called a 'snob' ALL FREAKIN DAY if i can hear Al and his crew make subtle and powerful magic like this live...

thanks again for the heads-up post about these Soul Train rebroadcasts so that folks can see a few examples of how it OUGTTA be being done...

...love this shit...

With brotherly love natives Blue Magic and (pre-Chic) Sister Sledge performing and the Soul Train gang gettin' down to The Three Degrees. Major Harris has a Philly connection also, being a former member of the Delfonics. Also, I was surprised to see in my Billboard book of R&B Hits that Blue Magic was briefly signed to Def Jam(?!) in the late 80's.

*everybody* is doing it on these 70s Soul Train episodes

What's the origin of the dance? What is it really called?

Relatedly, what should I make of the 'pop lock'/
robot-ish motions folks are doing too?

(fo' real, I'd like to see a whole post that catalogues every
Black dance there ever was including how/where/when it started)

There's actually not any such thing as 'pop-locking' really. They're two pretty distinct funk styles. Don Campbell started the locking style, supposedly cause he couldn't dance the styles that were popular at the time. Fred 'Penguin' Berry (Rerun) was in Don Campbell's crew.
The robot is part of popping.

Oh, and cheers for upping all these eps. Fucking gold!

I THINK it has something to do with Sugarhill Gang was alot of peoples first introduction to Hip Hop/Rap. Several people on the West Coast was under the assumption that Rappers Delight was released in '81 instead of '79. It took that long to hit out here, well except with the ones in the know.

AND PATRICE RUSHEN IS AN PERFORMING BEAST. IF SHE PERFORMS LIVE THIS WILL BE A TREAT.

First things first, however...

bless you meechelle (again)

Major Harris = understated elegance

Now, I wonder what Patrice performed. Forget Me Nots or Remind Me seem like logical choices, but they weren't officially released until '82. Could have been singles in '81, though.

Haven't You Heard was definitely out by '81, and would be ill to peep live.

253. "Got-Damn These Cursed Lip-Synched Performances!!!!"
In response to Reply # 0
Sat Jan-20-07 02:46 PM by BootyGreen

  

          

Does anyone know whose decision it is concerning whether an artist performs live or lip-synchs on Soul Train? I noticed that when War, AWB, JB, Al Green, Junior Walker & The All-Stars, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and a few other artists were on the show, they performed live. This leads me to believe that the artist is given the option of performing live. Is there anyone who can shed any light on this issue for me? There were many potentially classic performances that were ruined by this practice (as far as I know, Marvin Gaye nor the Jacksons ever performed live on any of their appearances on the show).

I'm definitely grateful for these shows being aired but the fact of the matter is, imagine how much more dope these shows would have been with live performances. To see a stage full of musicians pantomiming to their music is utterly ridiculous. With that said, keep 'em coming Don!!

i'll have to go back and watch again to be sure, but i THINK i caught a glimpse of Shimmy Shimmy girl on this episode (during soul train line segment, i think she was 3rd or 4th to go down the line...white dress, fuzzy boah around her neck...shimmying her way on through)

Anyone notice Gerald Albright as Patrices horn player? (and Partrice is just as cute as a button)

A few nice and almost forgotten jams on this episode for me...when Bill Summers came on i was like , 'awww yeah that was my jam back then!'....

damn, we used to wear som crazy ass hookups though...some crayola colored stuff...


hmm...next week is Pebbles, Jermaine Stewart & the Bus Boys...curious choice as a 'best-of' IMO...but hey, who knows...it could be a Rosie episode, and that'll make up for it ...I'm on the lookout

I know right?? lol!

The clothes were terrible in the 80's.

How about when Louie (the tall spanish dude that profiles all the time and hardly dances) was making sure he's got camera time during the Sugar Hill Gang set.

ha! too funny

yeah, back then he wasn't wearing his leather trench coats yet. This guy would show up everywhere (sometimes even outside Soul Train).

If you watch the Purple Rain MTV movie premier on DVD you can see Louie in the background chillin during the time the VJ was talking to Little Richard, Shelia E. and Eddie Murphy (Charlie Murphy was in the background too). Also Louie was always around New Edition and in a few of their videos. My sister and I use to be like "what does this guy do" and "what is his claim to fame"??

louie was NE's --as the beastie boys so affectionately put it

"trim coordinator"

they took him off soul train and hired him in 1989. He actually printed his address for people and fans to write him on his last time down the Soul Train line. it was quite a moment: he coordinated all guys to the left and all babes to the right to stand on the stage while they held a big ass paper sign with the address on it sorta like how a football team does at the top of the game before they run through it like maniacs.

louie tears through the paper and all by his lonesome he shimmy's one last time while the whole set cheers him onstage. what a fitting exit. louie is STILL cool. imma look him up when i get to LA

I'm glad we're able to enjoy some of this stuff again.

(anyone remember my "You Been Bamboozled,Hoodwinked,Moonwalked" about the cultural signifigance of Soul Train to Af.Am's?)

I hope it isn't just us nerds.

Thanks to the folks that are sharing links.

Thanks to Don Cornelius for easing up on that stash.

Thanks to Patrice Rushen for having some lovely ta-ta's. mmmm-mmmm

In response to Reply # 265


  

          

the OG theme (damn i forget group) was on a Comp on Avco records.

i think it was done by Charles Wright and the 103rd Street Band.


the Gamble and Huff classic is on a TSOP album from 73 (and its still on most TSOP comps)


"That's Soul Train" from 75 can be found on various 45s and 12 inches from collectors (found a few) its by The Soul Train Gang.

"Get On Board" from 76-77 i hear is on 45 a few places

"Get On The Soul Train" is on the self titled Whispers album from 1980

the "Soul Train's A Comin" slow version is on Obryan's 83 album and the Faster remixed version from 84-87 is on his 12inch version.

the rest i don't think made it to album....and aren't as good.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

These were some of the best shows Soul Train had, imo. This is when the dancing was raw and real! As the seasons went on, you started having professional dancers come on the show and niggas was on some ballet shit comin' down the Soul Train line.

On those first couple seasons, peeps were shaking it til they brake it. Like, negoes would actually be panting and puffing after the song was through. You guys definitely need to see a Soul Train line from the 71-72 season to see what I'm talkin' about. Wasn't no choreographed b.s., just soul brothas and sistas gettin' down. Rollin' on the floor, doin' back-flips, cart wheels, splits, you name it.

And what's up with this Pebbles, Jermaine Stewart, and Bus Boys show? No disrepect, but the show is called The BEST Of Soul Train. Is Pebbles truly in the upper echelon of black artists from back in the day?! I mean, Mercedes Boy was the jam but ummmmmmm...

what the sentimental value is in showing this episode.

especially when "we dont have to take our clothes off" was on the 86 episode (dont recall peb being on that show)

well i know don was proud of the soul train offspring.

so maybe this made it before shalimar, rosie ganies, or obryan did.

don's effing up. i had this feeling after the classic al green ep that the following eps would b throwaways.
No one, including myself, wants 2 watch Pebbles or Jermaine Stewart
sheeeit, if ur going 2 show has beens, show me Madame X!

Show some eps that peeps WANT 2 c (Sly,Marvin, MJ,etc).
WE all know its about ratings. I am sure that no one's getting the dvr's ready 2 c Jermaine Stewart
Bring on the JB eps already!!!!

I didn't know Take Our Clothes off was that late in the 80s...that's what I was hyped for. Sheeeeeeeeeeeit. And I guess if I really wanted to see the Bus Boys, I could watch 48 Hours for the 74th time.

To me, it's still nice to peep the "lesser" early 80s jammies. The performances are the hook, but it's not really all about that. The vibe of these shows is crazy. This is Reagan-era Black glamorama at its finest!

303. "thing you also gotta note is"
In response to Reply # 294
Mon Jan-29-07 09:58 PM by qoolquest

  

          

out of the 1000 or so episodes?

there are only 60-70 classic episodes.

of course if a band is playing live then ok i count that as classic.

there were some shows that were classic that wern't live:

most new edition show were awesome because of the polish in their presentation.
the most noteable probably being the 85 rebbie jackson episode in which they killed "the kinda girls we like".

to me the ULTimate 5 man group performance was The Dynamic Superiors doing "shoe shoe shine" in 74 (classic ep with jose feliciano singing live and minnie ripperton singing live as well ---you can hear a 2 year old mya crying in the background too lol--but these cats took interpretive dancing to a WHOLE nother level i so cant wait for yall to see this cause this performance alone will garner 50 posts.

any interview with the ojay's was classic (as you see how much fun don was having with Levert---well when pop levert was on the show....to me that was neck and neck with when eddie murphy would come on arsenio to talk. i always looked forward to the ojay's interviewing more than anything--and there are 3 genuine classic eps there too:

74 live with a band (they kill "love of money" and substitute "soul" for "love" train)
75 although a lyp synch performance don spotlighted motown master cholly atkins giving dance lessons to the fellas for "give the people what they want' classic shit.
78 while performing the much sampled "cry together" don lets eddie sing live to track (something patti always did when she was on the show) and he tore it down.

although i was disappointed that kool and the gang's wild and peaceful ep was lypped---the crowd was so damn hype it was still beautiful to watch.

the jacksons too---all of their ep's were grade a classic to me (they hold the dubious honor of being the only group to get a "mega" intro at the top of the show in 73 when they were announced

"the hippest trip in america...with guest stars The World Famous Jackson 5ive"---

the clip they show gets em everytime with mike doing the robot to perfection---

im sure there are some in the 70s that are classic (james singing with bb king and bobby blue bland freestyling a blues is nice) live stuff i have yet to see (i got about 40 "live" ones)

so i dont think don wants to give it away give it away now. just yet

i like the spread out thing cause i dont wanna have to wait 13 years just to hear the obryan theme.

man.....that dynamic superiors performance was indeed entertaining, though i had no clue that lead singer tony washington was openly, ummmmmmmmm...."happy". i also observed that there were a couple cats in the front that were clearly amused by tony's appearance. gotta love my hometown groups though. i would link up the performance if I knew how. does anyone know what happened to them after the 70's?

318. "dynamic superiors is one of those underrated 70s Motown acts"
In response to Reply # 314


          

I got 3 or 4 of their albums, they are all decent to pretty good. As the decade progressed, they got more dance-oriented, including a 9 minute version of Martha Reeves' "Nowhere To Run." They did have one album in either 1980 or 81, but that is the last album I think they recorded. I was checking a Washington DC site a couple of years ago and some of the members were doing a performance, but I do believe Mr. Washington is deceased.

In response to Reply # 297


  

          

But they are singing, if I'm not mistaken. And dancing, so a backing track is probably the best way to go. I can't vouch for Pebbles ("Mercedes Boy") and the Bus Boys, because I'm also watching North Carolina spank Arizona in men's college hoops, but I doubt they were singing live. Why, I'm not sure. Can Pebbles sing at all? Haha. I keed.

for the line dance.

these vintage episodes have convinced me. i've enjoyed those w/men and women going down the line together more than the shows w/them going seperately. as a kid i only saw the segregated lines...i started watching in about 1981.

fuck you.

Hip-hop expression was non-existent, everyone looking like they were ready for a night on the town. No reggaeton. No R. Kelly. No Akon.

Jesse Johnson's "Lovestruck". Was TaMara & The Seen ever on Soul Train?

It was nice to see Robin Power doing her thing again.

No disrespect intended at the lead Bus driver, I'm not saying he doesn't have talent or anything...but putting one of the 'Genious of our times' crown on him is laying it on maybe just a bit to thick don't ya think Don...?

You should should get in MVP award or something for dropping these links for us on here.

Again thank you


I was watching the Pebbles' performance and noticed that the guy on stage with her was the same cat in Janet's "What Have You Done For Me Lately" video. He now lives as a women. This guy was on the Geraldo show and spilling his guts in full drag. It was jive weird.

In response to Reply # 325


  

          

Hot ladies, great dancing, and The Undisputed Truth was THE UNDISPUTED TRUTH. I'm hearing the music behind them (sad that it was lip-synched) and thought "hell yeah, that's got to be Rose Royce". After their second song they were interviewed, and I heard the name Norman Whitfield, so it was indeed Rose Royce. Could have been Rose Royce in the front for all we know (nudge nudge).

Average White Band was fricken brilliant too. When I saw Steve Ferrone with his sleigh bells, I wanted to hear the opening intro. But damn, they did "Cut The Cake", "Person To Person", and "School Boy Crush". I wish they had done "Pick Up The Pieces" or even "If I Ever Lose This Heaven", that would have been great.

I did catch Jeffrey Daniels, but totally missed Jody Watley.

I didn't see this episode when it first aired (my family had moved to Honolulu by then), but the music and dancing just takes me back. I may have been all but five years old, but one could imagine a young Andre Benjamins with his bowl of Fruit Loops saying "dang, those white afros are fixin'-to-look nice, indeed".

In response to Reply # 331


          

..and they dressed appropriately. Nobody else on the label was touching them in terms of freakyness. There is no telling what Berry Gordy thought when he saw them. Remember when they first started in 1971 they were a pretty traditional group. I think this episode (1975) was the first time they flipped their image. I suspect BG let them get away with it in an attempt to keep Norman happy, since he wasn't producing the Tempts by this point and he was focusing on developing Rose Royce. He left Motown in 1976 anyway, so both sides may have agreed it was best to move on.

i didnt even read quest's wax poetic until now but watching this ep, i was thinking the same things he wrote (minus the drum influence)so i will save my 2 cents on it.

--awb was off the hook!!!
--undisputed truth scared the heck outta me when i was a kid (parents had that cosmic truth album) and scared me now as a 31 year old
--the dancers were on it, i will have 2 go back and check 4 jody and jeffrey
--the music was good 2, i will start listing the songs and possibly uploading the songs from each ep

love it love it love it...

AWB playing LIVE & gettin down...
(hey ?uest, not to name drop, but i honestly didn't know until now that you were that into Ferrone...my uncle (who's played guitar on some classics) has worked with your boy Ferrone on occasion, in fact last year sometime he happened to call us while he was hanging with mr Ferrone for a minute. Not sure what project they were working on at the time though)

The Soul Train Dancers wide open and gettin down...
You could hear disco coming...(how about the random 'party get-down whistles' inserted troughout)...the clothes & fros were a perfect time capsule...

Undisputed Truth freakin everybody out...

I still haven't watched the whole episode (havent seen Jody & Jeff yet) but i recorded it and will finish up later...

(this ep MORE than makes up for the Pebbles/Jermaine Stewart/BusBoys ep last week which, though fun to watch in a novelty 'i remember when' kinda way, probably wouldn't have made many folks lists as a "BEST of Soul Train")

but the AWB/Undisputed Truth EP qualifies no doubt...

next week...sliiiiiick Rick...not sure how many times he appeared, but I'm hoping its from relatively early on in his solo career...i'm hoping its from the "You & I" era...THAT song there...whoohoo...when that song came out I was like 'whoooaaa...now THIS is the SHEET"...i rocked that track ALL year that year....and the next...

i know don is tryna get the most bang for his buck with headline acts and support acts (well back then they were support but now they are stars themselves---

but when don paid tribute to rick in 81 for street songs he showed a clip "from the soul train history books"---and showed Big Time.


but i guess its cool that we see the SOS band too...so.

mediafire changed their policy in the last week, and the files can't be over 100 mb. bastards. i haven't seen another site that allows files over 350mb.

guess we'll have to go back to torrents....58, inbox.

Because I'm hooked on that meechelle product. If I have to fuck with Marlo's package, I will, but...wait, are we still talking about Soul Train episodes, here?

First I didnt get a chance to thank you for the last two episodes. THANKS!

Second have you tried archiving the files using Winzip or Winrar? Hopefully, after the compression they will be small enough to upload. Just trying to help.

If it has to be Torrent torrent it is. Ill do my part.

365. "War Live"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I was shocked seeing War not lip synching "Low Rider." I did not know some groups performed live on there. When I watched the orignal show I didn't know about lip synching lol!

I do remember when Stevie wonder was on he did an impromptu song. Don had asked him could he compose on the spot so Stevie (at the piano) wrote a Soul Train theme.

It was nice seeing The Temprees as well. All these r7b groups you catch 5 second clips of compilation cd's you can see doing whole songs. I wonder how many oldies episodes they are going to show? Are they going to continue producing new episodes or have they stopped production?

"Our next guest is one of the most prolific songwriters... (to Rick) Right? One of the most innovative producers... certainly one of the most exciting and talented performers... and also one of the strangest men I've ever met..."

Anyone else catch that little "shot" at American Bandstand?

Rick James was trying to sneak "smoking motions" in the act, that was hilarious.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I didnt remember this ep (only 5 years old) but i remember that this was the summer of 1980.
I remember picking up GOL and going what tha???? where's the funk?
Rick's performance was off the hook!!
Sure, it wasnt live but it still captured the essence of that Punk Funk Life!
Watching it, i was wondering how high rick and the band was.

The audience at the end of Big Time:priceless!!!

It's funny watching this in retrospect knowing that GOL was Rick's "wake up call" to return 2 the streets.

Classic ep!!!!!

...quick story. (Yeah right. John, quick?)

Any of us who were around know how big "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" was. I was in the 4th grade, and I didn't know what the song was really about, but it sounded good, you could dance to it. 4th grade was the year I became even more curious about girls, and there was a girl in my class named Dashia. She was once Dashia Kam, then one year she was Dashia Tam. She was Hawaiian/Chinese and something else, I never asked. She was someone who, for a 4th grader, had groove, and when my class would have music time, she would go out of her way to do her moves, 4th grade style. It was cool looking, and had I stayed in Honolulu for high school, one only knows what could have been. I know in intermediate school she became a stoner girl, but back then it was just weed. I don't know if she would've went down the batu (ice, or "crystal meth") route, but considering some of her friends... I guess I'll never know. I clearly remember one day in class, 1980, bringing albums so we could play the songs. I was the 4th grade who didn't just have the 45's, I was the one who preferred "the extended versions". It had to do with wanting to dance longer, and I clearly remember bringing my copy of the ONE NATION UNDER A GROOVE album and having the teacher take it off because, I assume, she thought they were saying "for the fuck of it". I was angry, and didn't want to dance, but Dashia came up to me and said "no shame, come" (or "don't be ashamed, let's dance")

Anyway, S.O.S. Band. My memories of the song came from just the song, hearing it on the radio AND having my parents buy me the album. I never saw this performance since Soul Train wasn't broadcast in Honolulu, but with a bit of perspective, it was very cool to see how the group promoted themselves and what would become their biggest hit.

The first time I actually saw the S.O.S. Band move was when I moved to the Pacific Northwest, discovered BET for the first time, and saw the video for "Tell Me If You Still Care". As was the case with a lot of soul (read "black") videos, the budget and production was not as much as those with more clout, but it was a very cool video. I also liked the way Mariah Carey used it for the remix of "Always Be My Baby" with Da Brat and Xscape. Video-wise, even though the video was on the cheap side too, I always had a thing for "Just The Way You Like It". At that point I was 15 or 16, and I knew very well what that song was about (although I have better comprehension of it today). Plus, the lady dancing in the video, as she transforms from a janitor to a leather skirt wearing lovely? I wanted to be a little older just to look for her and say "wassup?"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmV5ZQECDQI


The S.O.S. Band did have a good budget when they did the video for "Borrowed Love", but I never heard from them again.

Yet "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" brings me back to a time before my life moved into the double digits. Things were much more innocent, and things were done without thought, or perhaps without knowledge but with the urge to want to know more. Curiosities were running wild, and perhaps that song was a way of wondering what the future was like. I too wanted to take my time, and whatever "it" was, I was game. I think for years, my only perception of the S.O.S. Band was that splashing champagne glass with the boat in it:

382. "Their first album was a disco classic. Okay, not really, but it was"
In response to Reply # 381
Sat Feb-10-07 10:43 PM by ZooTown74

  

          

cool. I remember that album very well... of course we wore out Take Your Time, but I happened to like S.O.S. (Dit Dit Dit Dat Dat Dat) aka the second song they did on Soul Train... actually, I thought the album-ending reprise was better than the actual song...

This was the album that (I believe) was produced by "Sigidi"... it was a hit, but their second album, S.O.S. Too, flopped... which lead to S.O.S. III, then On the Rise, which featured some production by a couple of young cats named Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

Funny story as well...

I thought the album-ending reprise was better than
>the actual song...


haahahahahahhahhaahhaha

i thought the same too.

the only other artist i saw stretch two songs fer one on Soul Train was Marvin Gaye---matter of fact----that bastid did it TWICE with doing "Let's Get it On"/"Keep Getting it On" (but he did other songs on the show....but curiously during the irritating soul train gang interview --sorry im calling a spade a spade i believe there was a reason he dropped that portion. they were some non eloquent mofos in the 70s---i remember marvin getting away with telling a dancer that "in his spare time he likes to......fool around" and of course the basketball episode he got away with doing the 2 parter "Got To Give it Up" (he probably performed the whole song and don cut it in half


but yesterday while watching this ep i too thought they were doing "Do It Right"

i can easily see why that episode got picked Rick was onto something and even Don sensed it. Obviously the Soul Train historybook episode shown on the Street Songs episode was from the "L7" episode with Teena Marie (cause i remember him doing You and I and either "Hollywood" or "Mary Jane" his first time on the show

but there were some nice surprises--don introducing rick was funny....but also i noticed how the announcer's "SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUL TRAIN!!!!" was noticeably different than the usual scream.

I remember it being on the third album and credited to them... although it didn't have the prototypical Jam/Lewis sound...

Also, I don't know why I'm asking you this... on Saturday night, Feb. 10, at 7:39 pm PST...

399. "High Hopes is the song that Jam and Lewis got fired behind"
In response to Reply # 387


  

          

They were down in Atlanta producing the track for SOS. A snow storm hit and they couldn't make it back to Minnesota in time for either a rehearsal or actual show (can't remember which) Any way, Prince canned them. I doubt Prince liked the idea of them doing outside work and most likely was just looking for an excuse. They really took off the 3 years after that with SOS: On the Rise and had number one hits with "Tender Love" by the Force MDs and Human Leagues "Human". Cherrelle, Alexander O'Neal and Janet would all follow. Funny thing is, that firing was the best thing that could have ever happened to them.

.........and "Prove It". His and Rick's performance were some of my favorite moments(basically, because I really loved the "Wide Receiver" and "Garden Of Love" albums).

When that song came on, I lost my mind. That was my joint, right there, by One Way. Everybody always talk about,"Cutie Pie", and that song was cool. But,I would lose my mind, when "Pop It" came on. And it seem like every birthday party I went to, back then, they pull out One Way's "Pop It", and I would do just that(pop and lock, like my life depended on it). The good 'ol days !!!!!!!!!!! "roller skate....roller skate" Pop whatcha mothafuckin' got, Ha !!!!!!!!!!!

i went thru that list and the one posted above - either the sites have changed their terms or you can upload the file but can only d/l 300 mb a day or pay for a membership or it uploaded into the abyss.

just started another try.....no worries the rick james is ready to go once we get a home.

418. "funny you say that"
In response to Reply # 417


          

cause i think that was the best interpretive performance on soul train next to the dynamic superiors doing "shoe shoe shine"

as far as acting out the words and whatnot.

which then leads me to me questioning my own positioning:

i mean it was one thing for me to laugh at the "they said it couldn't be done" album cover or some of Mel's 8x10 photos in the late 80's with his version of the crew--and sorta cosigning with run dmc with their "all that flash and fur shit was whiddack!" but in hindsight? flash and them were SO on the right track.

visual presentation, energy, and presence was very important to the game.

i always looked at Nirvana as the RUn DMC of rock: cats that "brought it back to the people" away from the flash and whatnot. but after today? hmmm i dunno---im conflicted.

clearly the flash and presentation i saw today is SORELY missing in hip hop. and the weirder thing was it wasn't even overdone--seemed rather spontaneous. that said....im rather sad the run dmc's "regular guy on the corner" killed the "entertainment factor.

well....at least in my eyes i wanna know why there wasn't room for both. sign o the times i guess.

Maybe Mel will come in and comment on that. I was the same I sided with Run and 'nem on the issue at first. Until that everyman steez got out of control. Thats the best thing about the Best Of Soul Train, we can see "Entertainment" again. Errrrrrah!

MF Doom?!?!?...if u can count a mask as "flash"

...but other than those guys...who would have the balls?!?!

...hell, even dre3000 done calmed down his steeze, and he was about the closest thing 2 a Afrika Bammbattaa & Soulsonic Force or Grandmaster Flash & Furious Five in terms of style!

...Busta dosen't has a toned it down a few notches too, over the past few years.

...and lets not forget the "Shiney Suit Man"!!!

What you saw on Soul Train, I've tried to explain to people a thousand times, but nobody seems to get it because it all happened so far back in time, that very few people actually had the chance to see us do what we do. We were before all the MTV's & BET's. Before the big PR firms, and way before the mainstream public got into Hip-Hop.

Our job was to perform for people who really knew nothing about rap, and make them understand. It's only when you see us, that you understand.

And, I must admit, I did have nice hair & white teeth.

We're listening. I have had that same conversation. You and the others ushered into the WORLD a new artform and met alot of resistance (I personally want to Thank You for Hip Hop has changed my life. Especially "The Message," when my pops gave me that tape it was a wrap.) So you had to kind of give them what they were used too but bust them over the head with the REAL.

Took me awhile too see it, but now I understand once you start releasing albums, doing concerts, performing on tv you have taken it from something done in the streets too Entertaining others. So, is it so wrong that you that you go that extra mile and acutally put on a "Show" instead of looking like you walked in from the street? I think its out-right disrespect when people say the way that the pioneers dressed was wack. Thanks for the memories and the future.

........cause it looked Jheri Curl's curl from "Hollywood Shuffle", when Robert Townsend took his bottle of hairspray away from him. But, I enjoyed seeing her perform,"Betcha She Don't Love You" and "Get Loose". It's funny, after seeing her perform, I so wanted to see the old Classy Curl commercials.

Don't push me cause i'm close to the edgeeeeeee.

People *bleep* on the stairs I guess they just don't care.

...I dunno, I guess I'm a lil anxious 2 see some of those "classic episodes" that I've always heard u rave about!!!

Speakin of classic episodes, u know they've done the very thing w/ Midnight Special that we're all hoping Don will do w/ Soul Train...they've put em' out on dvd!!!!

you're definitely right about the excellence of the sylvers pre-capitol catalogue. i sometimes wish motown had provided the j5 with soulful and funky material like the stuff the sylvers were cutting over at pride. didn't jerry butler write and produce their first couple albums (or was that just a couple songs)?

In response to Reply # 0


          

Had to stay up until 3, but it was worth it.

Fresh 1975-76 flavors, the disco spirit definitely in effect. All the tracks were kicking and the dancers were working it. Although I'm still wondering what was up with the dude who kept popping stuff out of his mouth.

Performance-wise, I enjoyed watching the Sylvers attempting to fake their way through "Freestyle." Don gave one of his patented shitty/shady q & a's, it was like he didn't want to be bothered with them at all. He must've liked Billy quite a bit to give him 3 songs. All this time I was thinking _It's My Pleasure_ was an underground album. Then again, it did have Stevie and Syreeta on it, so maybe it was known in certain circles.

Yo,I was a full fledged shorty when this originally aired, but I remember this ep. clearly (Jeffrey Daniels in the S.T.G. t-shrit locking, Jody Watley looking like Thelma). I also remember Billy Preston performing "Will It Go Round In Circles" on Soul Train.

"Boogie Fever" was the first 45 I ever bought.

The Sylvers will forever be the schitt (got all their vinyl except the first one).

Being able to see this again is ill!!!

I really like how Soul Train (and the culture in general) at the time was funky w/out being so oversexed.

This is powerful posting, thank you again.

p.s. what the hell model Fender was Keni Burke playing? looked like a Gibson hollow body guitar with a Fender headstock

BUT i did get chewed out after making the family watch Blondie on Bandstand doing Heart of Glass and she paused on line 'pain in the ass'...

And Carlton was due something for "Bad Mamma Jamma," which was a staple of black radio back then. "Another One Bites the Dust" is a song in a similar vein. They're both rather anthemic when it comes to dancefloor jams from that time.

And as far as Stevie goes, he bounced back with Hotter than July fast enough to make the need for a replacement a moot point...THEN came back 4-5 years later with an even more updated formula. Genius.

queen admits to biting "good times" for "dust" so i just figured by the algebra transitive axiom theory (a=b b=c then a=c) so if anything i think that song is more Chic influenced no?

i didn't mean stevie fell off---but to go from making an album every year (especially when he was in a coma for 3 months after Innervisons) to waiting every 5 years (3 from "songs" to "plants", 5 from "hotter" to "red"--if you wanna call it that" 3 from "square" to characters" and 4 from "characters" to "jungle" and 4 from "jungle" to "conversation" and 10 for time.


that to me smells like caution or mild fear if you will

Just how they were both similar in being four-on-the-floor dancefloor killers back then. You can hear "Good Times" all over that Queen, though...and all over other hits of the day by artists who shall remain nameless, but whose name rhymes with "boogers kill."

And I was HOPING you didn't mean Stevie fell off, or dropped the baton for anyone..."You can get a smack for that!" (c) Flav

Interesting point about Mr. Stevie, though, and I'm not sure what was causing him to reassess. For the most part, much of the 70's came rather easy for him, but once the disco and the 80s came, it threw him for a loop, it seems. Of course, the 80s threw us all for a loop...rap, synths, drum machines, jheri curls, Reagan, crack, etc. Strange days, all around.

I don't know if it was caution or fear, however...Stevie's got balls big enough for all of us. Perhaps he just had to figure out how to stay in this music game in a new day and age, so he went back to the woodshed until he could come back and peel our m.f. caps back again. Miles did it. You do it, too. Relevancy can be a bitch to maintain!

Ya know I've been meaning to say how much of a kick it is to read ?uests flashback recollections of each episode here. always fun stuff...

i think i'm a little older than ?uest (and I was the oldest kid in the house) so i wasn't getting in trouble for the Prince stuff like many folks were...But then again it wasn't like I kept Dirty Mind at the TOP of my record stash either...(nah, i was always careful to stick THAT album in the MIDDLE of my collection heheh...so i can still relate to what your saying.) There was definitely a sort of 'Prince stash =Porn stash' thing goin on for sure...

also i liked the Prince-HipHop evidence too.(..heheh redbone collecting...no doubt about it..)

but i HAD to chime in on the Susan appreciation bro...
yeah, back then it was very easy to get caught in Vanitys glare because ms. Denise was (and still is) fine as oh-my-goodness (at least the last time i saw her she was. Aged QUITE nicely if you ask me too. Maybe even looks better now than then. Filled out in the right places if you ask me.... But you didn't, and i digress...)

...but folks were SERIOUSLY overlooking that fine lady in the white camisole back there...Susan was indeed one of my secret subjects of obsession back then...

wonder what she's up to these days?

anyway, this one ougtta be a fun watch indeed...
I'm sure i'll be cracking up at some of the hookups in the crowd...
cracking up AND CRINGING...because i know DAMN well that chances are i was ALSO rocking some of the same cheesy shit that we'll be seeing....
(yeah, that'd be ME wearin the trenchcoat ALL summer long. Sweatin my ass off, but i'd never admit it though. That was part of the uniform man. I HAD to rock that shit...dog chains, studs and all. Folks were thinkin...'THat little mofos crazy' and i'm lookin at them thinkin...'bunch of double drag fools'...lol...

She showed up at one of Prince and Tamar's one off gigs in Florida last year. I think Prince was surprised to see her again.

"Charlene"-era Janet? Ahhh...my first tv crush (until Lisa Bonet came along and flipped everything I thought I knew about tv crushes but was afraid to ask).

And 15, Moonsie ain't seeing Vanity...dare I say that V may have taken the essence of Jayne Kennedy up a notch? Oh, it's true...

Whoa...Frankie Valli?!? Didn't Phil Leotardo have Tony put him to sleep with the fishes? My sig finally has some meaning...anxiously awaiting season six part II.

But I digress...

EDIT: I now see why Carl Carlton never blew up...stage steez is more like Carlton Banks. The curl is juicy as fuck, though.

And the interpretive dance during Diana's "Muscles" was really on point. As a shorty, I used to think she was saying "I want mustard."

501. "Vanity 6, Carl Carlton, and ... Frankie Valli???"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I'm not sure if it happened in other cities, but in Honolulu, radio stations didn't play "Nasty Girl" until after 8pm because it was considered dirty. Which it is, but compared to now, that was a big deal. Did they perform the song on "Solid Gold"? Because I remember seeing them on some show before I ever saw the video for "He's So Dull" (which they showed on MTV, they didn't show the video for "Nasty Girl").

I was more shocked to see that video from the vaults, in this case a performance by Frankie Valli of "Grease". I had never seen that, and today it was the first time I had seen the background singers for the song.

Because of this, it brings something to mind. Did Yvonne Elliman ever perform on "Soul Train"? I'm thinking of the RSO connection, because back then, Robert Stigwood was bigger than Diddy is now, and it seemed odd for Frankie Valli to be on "Soul Train". I do realize Valli had a number of disco hits before that, but... oh well.


Another question. Why is it that at the end of the show, we now see highlights of the performances and the Soul Train line, and not the credits? One of the best reasons to watch the early episodes of "Soul Train" was to see them dance during the credits. It was always a bit of "we're going now, but come back next week and we'll do it again".

I would like to see any performance of Earth Wind & Fire, Robert Palmer, Amii Stewart, and that one performance of Duran Duran's "Skin Trade" where after the song fades, the drummer is still playing and there's a brief moment that has a nice break. Bring that one back.

Here is a list of all Soul Train episodes and guests:

According to this list, Yvonne Elliman was never on. Frankie Valli was on the Nov. 11, 1978 episode.

505. "The episodes I want to see"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

After being passed a link to Wikipedia about who performed on the show:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Soul_Train_episodes

I want to see these episodes, if footage still exists:
* Charlie Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Band / Carla Thomas / General Crook (aired 9 October 1971)
* Chambers Brothers / The Five Stairsteps (aired 27 November 1971)
* Dennis Coffey / Detroit Emeralds / Jesse James (aired 8 January 1972)
* Gladys Knight & the Pips / The Ohio Players / Garland Green (aired 4 March 1972)
* Chuck Berry / Maxayan / Willie Hutch (aired 7 July 1973)
* The Whispers / Mandrill (aired 8 September 1973)
* Tower of Power / The Pointer Sisters / Tavares (aired 17 November 1973)
* Tyrone Davis / Hugh Masekela / Black Ivory (aired 15 June 1974)
* The O'Jays / Ramsey Lewis (aired 7 July 1974) **(considering the year, anyone know what song(s) Lewis performed?)**
* The Miracles / Herbie Hancock / Yvonne Fair (aired 31 August 1974) **(c'mon. Hancock. 1974. Do the math, my friends.)**
* Graham Central Station / Zulema / Leon Haywood (aired 8 February 1975)
* The Crusaders / The Whispers (aired 22 February 1975)
* The New Birth / Blue Magic / Bobby Moore (aired 23 August 1975)
* Duran Duran / Stacy Lattisaw (aired 4 April 1987) **(for break purposes)**
* The Jets / Kashif / Public Enemy (aired 5 December 1987) **(in honor of my Polynesian brethren, and of course P.E.)**


I seriously hope the show isn't on the verge of cancellation, or maybe it's already gone. The hosts in recent years have been full of ha-ha, and I know the show wants to stay relevant, and of course has to cater to the audience for ratings. But I'd like to see some people such as Amy Winehouse, Stephanie McKay, Clara Hill, The Rebirth, as well as the older artists who are still recording and performing.

If the show is coming to an end, I hope there is one last celebration, and I want to thank Don Cornelius for all that he has done, especially for a young Hawaiian kid living in California at the time, who thought the music and dancing was cool.

"American Bandstand" got tired real fast, especially when Dick Clark left and it became an outdoor, theme-park show (WTF?), "Soul Train" for the most part has never let us down.

...it'd have to be a cut from perhaps Thrust (or maybe he did "Chameleon", that would be DOPE!)

The Doc really wants to know what the Crusaders performed for them in 1975. That was around the time of "Chain Reaction" and The Doc can't for the life of him think of which song would get play on Soul Train.

Duran Duran on Soul Train sounds wild, too...

Good lookin' out, Juugo.

Vanity may have been the centerpiece, the finest per se, but Susan was like that girl in the back of the room you never expected had it like that. The Doc always found his eyes wandering toward her in the "Nasty Girl" video.

523. "he probably kept an 8 oz. pump on the regular..."
In response to Reply # 521


  

          

But traveled with a 16 oz. bottle so he could get more mileage out of it before performing. No need to skimp with the 16 oz. The 8 oz. was more or less for touch-ups.

Not that I ever had a curl or anything...shag, yes, curl, no.

(in a video editor, in imovie its the easiest, but it probably wont get you an exact fit)

1. you split the audio form the video
2. you adjust the starting point of the so that the audio syncs up with the video, you may need to add a few seconds of blank screen or delete some of audio. i suggest keeping a backup would be a good idea.
3. you rejoin the audio and save
4. upload

/
also...
why dont you send me the orginal?

i can see what i can do

I don't think I've ever stared as closely to female nipples in photographs as hard as I did when I would sneak peaks of my Uncles album cover, and ESPECIALLY the poster that came with it.

he finally just gave me that joint, I was like 14.

Man, that 1999 tour was a motherfucking monster!!!

In response to Reply # 543


          

had he had the finances to do so im sure he woulda made EVERY episode live.
but as it twas only a handful were gem worthy (i'll say i seen 25 @@@@@ star eps--im certain there are at least 25 more)---but out of 1000? shit spreads thin

gem of the 70's is the primitive dancing and live performances
the 80s is about the fashion and dancing and music played and believe it or not some performances kicked ass (see every New Edition episode....and if Don is wise the NE, Rebbie Jackson 85 ep should come up any day now.

but yeah....we got 30 years of saturdays before he'll rerun shit so imma just enjoy em all.

I really think this glossed-over nugget...

"i was staying with a quaker family (family had to leave town that week and my grandmom and aunt were gone too so it was a week with karl hubenthul and the hubenthul klan)"

Is in dire need of some elaboration! "Hubenthul"? Were they anything like that nice family that Alf lived with?

...and this was one that I copped. Used to love The Dazz Band. Skip was rockin' the strong ass Jheri Curl on this ep. JMJ got mad love from the crowd during his lip-synch scratch on Rock Box lol.

I remember Pops being as dismissive about Run DMC as Don was when he interviewed them.

I'ma have to find time to watch this. It comes on @ 1:00 p.m. in Chicago so it's hard as hell to be at home during this time when I'm out usually runnin' errands.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

"And from the video world... Mr. Huey Lewis and the News..."

?

I'm all for inclusion and all, but... Huey Lewis and the News, Don? EMI must've been payin' a LOT back then...

No guitarist for Rock Box? That's kinda odd, seeing as it's such a guitar-heavy song....

And Jay.

Dazz Band... curllllllll city... I kinda miss the days where songs had double meanings ("Joystick"), no matter how obvious they were... and was that a Simmons drum set I spotted back there?

Jesse Peralez... touching moment there...

That certainly was one of the more... gaudy... Soul Train lines I've seen...

Good episode.

its like... he's so deep in the groove, pocket, feeling, melody, bass line, guitar, vocals, dancers' steps . . .

is there a best of Ferrone mix anywhere? or a collection of jams with his stamp on it?

And please tell me he was THE cat on the scene back in the day?

Was he a mentor at all to Chambers?

this post makes me hate being young and naive, I wanna be right there with yall replaying memories of watching ST and seeing these YODAS lay it down week after week.


yall are lucky man, real lucky.

In response to Reply # 558


  

          

My cousin heard from this girl at the currency exchange who overheard a conversation between Brick's baby mama an'nem at the nail shop, that when the police found qoolquest, they searched the rest of the house and found jars and jars of funk he had been hording since his sheltered but still extremely soul-laden childhood. An autopsy further revealed groove nibblets he'd been storing in his cheeks all winter...like a squirrel!

"There was no shortage of soul music of any kind in this man's life," officer Smitty told the OKP Gazette, and officer Hoppy concurred. "I'm not really sure why he was sweating this meechelle like he was," said Hoppy. "It was our understanding that she had recently started a new job and would be back to doling out her weekly Soul Train doses once she found a free minute, or 'four hours to upload,' as she's been known to say..."

this episode was cute on every level and curious too:

-i forgot how good some of the music was (i will be adding more Obryan in my dj sets)
-once upon a time michael jackson truly held influence in dance and fashion amongst the common folk
-run and d starting the performance offstage showed they commanded attention from the start.
-was that chris brown's pop on the scramble board? lol
-funny how don had insight to try and "go pop" to get a larger audience. this huey song was always in my vocabulary so it wasn't like a bathroom break for me. its still an entertaining song ("heart of rock and roll") (cant wait to see your reaction to the "eat it", "wrapped around your finger", and "beast of burden" ---yes bette midler's version-- get broadcasted.
-the make a wish kid jesse peralez was heartbreaking and cute...and again "curious" ("I want to break free" don? that is the best we can do for a kids dying wish to dance on soul train? lol) and the custome dude (more on him later) was suffocating a dying kid with an ET mask the smartest thing? lol
-imma make me a RUDE BOY t shirt similar to the prince button (and t shirt) that i saw this ep
-the dazz cats were a pretty charismatic bunch. "swoop" was my fav as a kid.
-the spiderman entrapping lou ski and his cousin down the line was priceless. i looooooove the 80s more than 70s soul trains. lol sorry!! they was jammin!

Everything that jiggled on Rosie was real. So natural, so beautiful.

how about that one chick in the white spandex bottoms dancing on stage having the crazy phatty.

Man, Whodini was so fresh. His dancers were the shit at the time. I remember rewinding my Betamax tape just to catch some of their moves. And again, Louie actin a damn fool (almost groupie like) when Whodini performed. lol!!

Hi, do you know the Soul/New Jack Swing song which was played/performed -before Lace performed within 20-25 minutes of the show? I remember this song a lot throughout the late 80's. It went something like: "Turn up the heat, it's gettin' ready to pop!" ? It almost sounded like a Stevie Wonder song lol -I spotted it on the CW this morning, god I miss the 80's.

Thanks in advance!

That Lace interview was... bizarre... more weird than usual... I won't get on 'em for talking about "when we get to album number 2..."

Don seemed to be in a great mood throughout the episode... though he seemed to be gritting his teeth as he (quickly) made his way through the Whodini intro...

Both musical guests were underwhelming to me

And Howard Johnson's version of "Jam Tonight" (4-5 years earlier) still beats Freddie Jackson's, imo...

Louie!

The music played throughout the episode was just so... cold to me, and not "cold" in that good way, either... everything from Stevie Wonder's "Skeletons" to Barry White's "Sho Ya Right" (which sounded almost like "Change" from last week) to Jody Watley's "Don't You Want Me"... just too clinical and mechanical (for lack of a better word)... the downward spiral had begun...

But Rosie was POPPIN' IT throughout the episode (did she change clothes a couple times as well?)... God bless her... mmmph... lol

the dancing was the best part about this show (louie doing elvis, rosie being ....uh 20?)
the performances were meh....
i wasn't a big fan of Open Sesame and neither of them joints did it for me back in the day nor now. but in true Whodini fourm they got their chance to go down the Soul Train line (well their dancers....and big up to the boy Stretch who was "the" dancer to have back in the day---he did a GAZZZZZILLLLION videos)

fred's "jam tonight" is still classic to me (sorry zoo...but imma peep that howard though...is that the same album as So Fine?)

but when the dancers are the highlight (and i agree...all them cocaine grooves was blowing me....but then again...compared to what i got now? shit might be classic.)

thanks chelle! love ya forever.

In response to Reply # 0


          

I remember sitting in my grandmother's kitchen getting my hair pressed watching Soul Train...those were the good old days.

Watching these Soul Train reruns makes me laugh (at the clothes) and also sad for the old days. The old days when men could dance together and dress alike and still be cool (smile). The old days when the women on Soul Train had class and style and big hair. And the old days when music was much more soulful and less overtly sexual. Yes, I do miss the good old Soul Train days.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Billy Preston, unfortunately, lip-synched. The highlight for me was the Rufus performances, from my favorite album by them, RAGS TO RUFUS. It was great to see this, since like many, I grew up with the music but only with the cover, so all I had was the photos.

It was also great to see Franklin Ajaye, hyping up his very good A&M album (it has been sampled before, but the entire album was great. It was these albums, and his comedy routine, which would lead to his role in "Car Wash"). Like a radio edit, it's always great to see a comedian have to edit his material for TV.

Dancing wise, I have to give it up to that lady with the beige suit, and the other one with the light grey suit. HOT-T-T-T-T-T-T-T!!!

Wed Apr-04-07 05:07 AM by Voodoochilde

          

...thats an interesting tidbit there. I never realized that 'Ask' was the record that hipped prince to Fischer. Makes sense now that I think about it, but i had just never heard that before...

Ask Rufus is one of those timeless albums, and one that works as a WHOLE record...ONE expression...it doesn't feel like collection of indiviual songs that were grouped together (which, depending on the group can work sometimes but sometimes not so much)...instead Ask Rufus sounds more like a "hey lets make an entire record that feels like THIS..." type of album...and they executed it perfectly. i love that shit...


...I think thats the one i'm taking to work with me today...

i picked it up one day at wrecka stow and listened 2 it every day 4 about a year.
the album cover, the poster, the music.

didnt know that ask rufus was the link 2 clare and p (knew it was rufus)but come 2 think of it....it all makes sense.
sheeit some of the family stuff had that vibe also (screams and desire).

that vibe has yet 2 have been re-captured.

In response to Reply # 0
Sun Apr-01-07 07:59 AM by Voodoochilde

          

I don't know if i can take this. Rosie AND Chaka back to back???

lawd...

seriously...

ya'll don't know how much i love Chaka.

THAT womans singing is primal and heavenly. period. her tone, inflection, her power AND her subtlety (everyone always talks about her effortless power, which is obviously one of her trademarks. But for me, its her ability to affect you and express when she brings it down and is singing softly is JUST as impressive and maybe even moreso).....her attention to detail and expression of the meanining and emotion behind the lyric...to this day She is my favorite femaile vocalist hands down... with NO competition. NONE.

(And the Rufus/Chaka era stuff of the 70's is straight classsic obviously. Like many i grew up with that great music<and the cover art too . Her obviously great voice, mixed with some wonderful material and solid balanced production just DID it for me man. )

...AND... that woman has the most amazing lips and mouth EVER...

<in morris voice>"I thank I'mo'need a drank!"

So you'll understand that for me, seeing a young Rufus & Chaka was the highlight, even though everything was lip-synched. (yeah, i HATE lip-synching as much as the next guy...but they're gonna MAKE the artists lipsynch...well it makes it so much easier to take when It's Chaka's lips doing the synching damn..i sound like a dirty old man..

so the Rufus and young Chaka appearance alone was enough to qualify this as a worthy Best-of episode...

but add to that the Soul Train Dancers and music in the background in this ep??....straight classic baby. Another wonderful time-capsule...the creative outfits, and folks just GROOVING their ASSES off man! God i love this. I always find myself focusing on a few dancers in the crowd that happen to be gettin' off on the NEXT level ... as mr Book mentioned, the pant-suit lady was definitely one of the stars out there...

Its funny my wife thinks i'm crazy, cuz i'll be just sitting there with a grin on my face as I go back and rewind & rewatch, focusing on different dancers in the crowd each time...checking out their moves and reactions and hook-ups...
ehh...maybe she's right, does sound a little goofy. but what the hell, this stuff is fun for me...

props to Billy Prestons Full Facial Fro...he was on some 'chaka' thing there (and NO i'm NOT talking about Chaka Khan, I'm talking about 'Chaka' from the 'Land Of the Lost'.) Hell, Billy's whole band had Fros to be proud of though...


yup time capsule right here boy...

(After watching this i dug out some Chaka DVDs (one show she did at the Blue Note in NY) and some Rufus & Chaka cds had a little Chaka fest...)

it was a good day...

love peace and soul ya'll

Man! lol... whoo, I'm in love all over again...

And especially lol at the male ST dancers trying to holla after the second performance...

And putting on my Film School hat on for a second, I have to say that, regarding the Soul Train Line, I like the cutting transitions between the dancers as opposed to the cheesy wipes and fades of later years...

... speaking of which, was that Jeffrey Daniels with the big-ass bow tie? I also thought I spotted Debbie Allen, but no...

Billy was cool, and I have to get back into Rufus...

623. "actually, soul train has gotten me to appreciate billy preston a little ..."
In response to Reply # 609


  

          

what i knew about billy before was that he wasa young man with virtoustic talent who played all sorts gospel, blues and soul stars by that the time he started playing with the beatles. after that, i thought his stardom in the had only endured bacause of his affiliation with the beatles (and the rolling stones) and which is why clear channel still plays those major hits, but i never heard anybody hold him high regrad with all the other greats (marvin, stevie, aretha, james, philly soul etc.)

but actually, there is a great substance and consistency with billy. because of his roots in gospel and blues, a lot of his songs are morally message songs that still sound very danceable, secular songs, yet still sounding different from all the other philly message songs. i never heard too much hub-bub about his 1974 album "its my pleasure" but i thought the songs he performed on that sout train episode: "that's life," "do it while you can"and even "fancy lady" were great recordings. not groundbreaking, but its gives more work from stevie wonder's camp of syreeta wright and malcolm cecil who performed on those records.

hearing the drums on "nothing from nothing" and billy bustin out with "I'm a soldier in the war on poverty," i thought that was pretty gangsta...

thanks for your wishes! PDX has WGN so we both watched this episode before we went to the hosptial - she was cracking up.

sooo - did no one think that raising Billy's mic might have made it look a little more believable?

i enjoyed it.
-billy is the missing member of dr teeth's band. i was mad that you coulda went live with that piano. not to mention i was like FIX THE MIC!!!!!!

-i crack up at the new edits. obviously they have to cut 3 mins out so they can make room for the "montage" at the end, so playing the "what do they cut out?" game is fun (peep Don's into on George Mccrae where they layed the music on top of introduction)

-andre fisher was our first president (briefly when we went to mca) good to see him in his rufus glory (his uncle Claire did all the strings for Rufus and for Prince too.)

good to see Jody get down too...

no complaints!

645. "I've heard rumours..."
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

that the new season of Soul Train is starting soon (can anyone confirm or refute this?) if this is true then I hope Don can stop pussy-footing with these "meh" episodes and come 'wit it!! wicked pickett had a kick-ass live performance from the first season that was passed over in favor of this boo-boo from '76?! (as soon as I learn how to rip my dvd's to my hard drive I'll post a few clips from the '71 ep.)

i'm convinced now that don is ashamed of the low production value of the first couple seasons. why else has he not aired any eps. from this period within the first 4 months of this "Best" of Soul Train series? he even quipped to AWB during their '75 appearance that the show was "pretty lousy" the first couple seasons. oh well, guess you can't have your cake and eat it too (though I'm very grateful for my "cake" nevertheless). *rant over*

Seeing the Whispers name always makes me smile.

My mom was a BIG Whispers fan, she knew the members

Well, this one time she took me along to meet the fellas...
I kept thinking...wow, they look like little doggies (yall know who im talking about)

Couple of the guys used to call her up...they were trying to kick it
my mom was fly in her day..i mean she's not that bad now.

anyway, they just make me smile...

To me, back then at least, they were just aiight

They had a couple John Blaze joints (And the Beat Goes On, Turn Me Out, etc), but I didn't understand their power until I was MUCH older

Looking forward to this episode, just to see some Johnny Guitar Watson

>where was nick caldwell w/the whispers?

Don mentioned after the second song that Nick injured his Achilles' Tendon and thus couldn't perform the first song, since they were all standing

He teased Nick about it, saying that he hoped he'd get well soon so he could come back and tear it again

a very entertaining show
i have 2 agree with u quest, i was sensing last week that this was a transition year
brick was energetic...dude on the keys had one of the meanest 'fros
the dancers seemed 2 be in2 the chic/black bourgois(sic)/clams from the half shell thang
speaking of chic it's amazing 2 c sister sledge be under the radar b4 they hooked up with the chic organization

yes..sid's voice scared the heck out of me 2...it was worse when he hosted that radio show special edition (anyone remember that show)

Thanks Meechelle. Much appreciated. Normally, I record these episodes on DVD as they air, but this one was burned on a bad disc and was rendered unplayable. Thanks again, you saved my life. I was horrified by the possibility that I would not be able to watch that live "Brick House" or the "Galaxy" Soul Train line ever again!!

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Great show, and what was up with the "dance troupe" on the main stage? Wacky.

Nah, Peabo had a total of three (3) songs, and he looked scared as hell. He was getting some of his lip-sync parts wrong, which is understandable, but he was always smooth, still is. His early stuff is always worth hearing, and after years of being a fan, I didn't realize that vocally, one of his bigger influences was Johnny Mathis. I know Peabo has always been "distinct" too but never made the connection. He never appeared on the show for another ten years? That's a crime in itself, considering the amount of hits the man made in that time period, that's Peabo in his prime.

What can you say about Stargard? I only had the songs and records, I never saw these ladies move, that was great to see. I'll have to break out the LP's again, and the "American Bandstand" reference was still in there.

I think Peabo didn't lipsync good, because he had to lypsync..LOL
Know what I mean? A gent with that much talent, he was prolly itching like hell, to sing them songs LIVE. Reaching For The Sky Intro is so dope.

I STILL enjoyed that performance a great deal. The dark and dim lighting really set the mood for them classic slow jams.

I agree, the fact that he had to wait for his own vocal cues, it looked awkward.

pros+
-"do you wanna do a dance" the spinners with a slow disco/funk jawn. a lil surprising

-starguard. i so forgot how funky norman whitfield was in the 70s post temptations. and for a lip synched performance i now wish i coulda seen them on the road. im sad they only lasted for 3 records.

-lol @ Strokedy Stroke. i can tell gamble and huff had nothing to do with this song for the ojays. they was tryna funk something hard. my aunt always played the So Full Of Love album so i remember this well.

-the last Peybo joint was nice.








cons-them cutting the corners on my animated time. i realize that they have to cut back a few mins for commercial sponsers but COTDAMN!---they clipped 10 secs of the intro bassline which use to scare the bejesus outta me as a kid. compare the johnny/brick episode to this and you can see the earth is not as blue and bright and neither is the train---now the earth is gray and dingy and the train is more dark skindider and sinister. lol. so it used to make my soul train experience as a 7 year older in a dark creepy house at 1am that mure scarier. DON'T ROB ME OF MY EXPERIENCES~!!!! damn sponsors.

johnny mathis?!?! lol....just playing but why don didn't have this cat (peybo) back on for his 2-5th album is the puzzlement of all time! usually it takes an artist a performance or two to get the coveted "headline spot" (announced first and 3 songs) all the mid 70's to prime 80's Soul Train celebs started off "support slot" before they earned Don's "they can carry a show" respect (rufus, new edition, the time, labelle, al green, the whispers, rick james...all mega stars who had to endure a few appearances before they were allowed to headline)--so the puzzlement is how did peybo on his rookie slot get a headline slot and the not return for none of the classics? hello!! "im so into you"!!!!!!!---damn he musta trashed his dressing room or stole a letter from the board like i did.

the set looks too empty

In response to Reply # 673


  

          

Thanks for all of your hard work Meechelle!

In trying to properly document some serious history (Classic Soul Train Episodes) for safe-keeping, I have a question for you (and anyone else that may be able to answer):

All of the posted shows have burned fine (with Nero) up until the 03-18-07 & 03-25-07 episodes. Was something done differently during the conversion? Were they High-Def broadcasts where the previous ones weren't?

Nero couldn't convert them over at all, but I was able to convert them using another product. Once converted and burned, it gave me DVDs with the audio and video out of sync, as if the "bad" video data was dropped while the audio continued to run ok (?).

Anyone know how to fix this, or can corrected files be posted?

Thanks,

-Vibe

PS Anyone having problems burning any of the April or May episodes?

the only one that was in HD was the al green (just watched it again...goodness!) due to technical issues and that was from the HD version of the channel on my DVR. Others were either direct feed or DVR playback - but all same connection, same software, except for the file tags, no difference.

i did upgrade my software around that time after the kung-fu intro pointed out by a certain host some people have said that the first time they d/l a file because it's so large and/or the connection is slow - the file has been bad, but i dunno about burning them.

i've only put the .wmv's on dvd-r for my sweetie and tested burning the .mpgs with nero - both were ok.

i could re-up a file, but it would be the original. im not sure what or how to correct.

Finally figured it out:

I thought my burner was going down, but it turned out to be a "bug" in Nero 6. I took a trial of Nero 7 (before purchasing) and everything appears to be cool now.

Thanks for your help, but more importantly:

THANKS FOR DOCUMENTING AND SHARING THIS IMPORTANT BIT OF HISTORY!

i always loved the song which way is up since i was a kid.
i always thought those girls were in the same beauty vein as parlet (tore up)
boy was i wrong. those women were fine, especially the blonde!!!! lawd have mercy....now i know which way is up!!

ok with that aside, the ep was classic imho. 2 hear the o'jays' strokety stroke was a shocker (gamble&huff must have been away paying dj's 2 let that song on their album) but i liked it. must haev been one of don's partay cuts.

my moms loved her some peabo. it took me a minute 2 figure out why but i get it now. i am surprised moms didnt have the life size cut out like minnie rippleton (c) richard pryor

and why did i get the feeling those dancers were also on the wiz during the color (red,green,gold) song? oooooh ah ah ah ah ah

def a filler ep
i never had a care 4 freda sooo (crickets chirping)

atlantic starr was ehhh....funny that as the years went by, so did the members and instrumentation...they went from an ltd kinda band 2 surface by the end of the 80's

i've been saying this ever since these "filler" eps started 2 air, bring on the classic eps (a chi town ep,jb,sly,marvin,a jackson/mj ep,rick '81)!!!!

quest u might have 2 use ur star power and get some inside track on the remaining eps. maybe u can get don 2 give us at least one really good show from the vaults because time's a waisting.

you can even see the rough cuts when you break the video down to frames while editing....very interesting.

maybe they needed to make way for more Stomp the Yard DVD promos, or that 800-Hot-Chat line commercial that runs every other time?

maybe Don's keeping us on our toes..

i did not know that Jeff and Jody continued to be members of the soul train gang after Shalamar hit. it must have been quite an experience for them to dance to their own songs (this ep. featured "Take That To The Bank", which is one of my favorite Shalamar cuts). now i can see what Jody was talkin' 'bout when she said she experienced jealousy from other dancers.

This show was alright, it was great to see the Soul Train line dance to Dan Hartman's "Instant Reply" (I had that 45 years ago).

I don't know her name, but it's one of the light-skinned ladies who usually wears dresses: she wore a pair of blue jeans and was looking nice, more spirited in this episode.

In response to Reply # 696


  

          

She normally has her hair pulled back, but in this one she had her hair down.

It was also cool to hear the McCoo/Davis track, as it went on for a good 5/6 minutes.

The highlight was also when they played Cheryl Lynn's "Got To Be Real", and they played the version where Lynn sings during the break. However they faded it out right before the break, but the dancers start singing in her place, so you hear the applause and everyone singing "ooh hoo, ooh hoo, ooh hoo".

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

so it was cool to see them do All the Way Live

Was it just my non-HD TV, or did a lot of the colors look washed out on this episode?

Speaking of dancers, I like that one who wears the skirts, and she usually has some kind of (I hesitate to say) "beaver tail" hanging from the front... she was one of the Scrambleboard participants this week...

And I still have a crush on Marilyn McCoo from her Solid Gold days...

This episode was fine... but Don should be loading up the heavy-hitters, as has been said here... perhaps he's putting together a DVD set? And what happened to that Soul Train Club that was being advertised on the Soul Train site?

I wish someone would write a book on that whole SOLAR Records period, I'd love to hear some of the backstories on the formation and running of that label back then...

>Was it just my non-HD TV, or did a lot of the colors look

It was a bit washed, a mixture of age of the video tape and it looked like some shots were filtered too.


>Speaking of dancers, I like that one who wears the skirts, and
>she usually has some kind of (I hesitate to say) "beaver tail"

Yeah, didn't catch her name but, would that be "racoon tail"? I know those were popular way back then (why, I don't know).


>I wish someone would write a book on that whole SOLAR Records
>period, I'd love to hear some of the backstories on the
>formation and running of that label back then...

That would be interesting. Who would be the one to contact? There's a lot of stuff on the Soul Train/SOLAR labels that are great, and... that's something to look into.

It seems like Don would be someone to talk to, but I'm not sure how receptive he'd be to rehashing that history... I guess it depends on who's doing the asking... is Dick Griffey still alive? On the artist side, they could always ask Jody Watley, Howard Hewitt and company...

My LOCAL station STOPPED showing these several weeks back (I'd been timer recording the timeslot every week with the PLAN of watching them when i got the chance. Looked at the DVD-Rs and it wasn't Soul Train any more. Looked at the Soul Train finder link

http://tv.tribune.com/showfinder/search/1,1001,soultrain,00.html

and sure enough, no broadcasts available in my area..

WTF???

Did WGN (i get that here too) stop showing these too or are they still airing it (if so when?)

#$%^%...aint that abitch

of course meechelles links of the eps i missed are mostly long expired...i may be SOL until(if) the DVDs see the light of day...

715. "She formally introduced herself: Cheryl Song"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

a/k/a the long haired Korean lady. I remember hearing the name years ago, and totally forgot. I knew it was fairly basic too. My sister calls up, as she was watching it, and jokingly says "hey, those are Amerie's parents!"

Gino Vanelli, what can you say about the guy, other than "hairy"? As ?uest said, you couldn't listen to the radio in the mid to late 70's without hearing him, whether it was his brief stint with Santa Esmarelda, or his solo work. Gino Vanelli was on A&M, and throughout the 70's, A&M dominated the charts big time. I did like when he came back in the 80's with "Black Cars" and "It Hurts To Be In Live", the BIG HAIR was gone but the voice was still there. Anytime someone wants to throw shit on someone like Robin Thicke, one can easily tell them to go listen to some Gino, or Bobby Caldwell.

Gloria Gaynor, as always, doing her thing, and it was nice to hear and see something other than "I Will Survive" and "Never Can Say Goodbye". I do wonder if a younger generation watches this, hears these songs and thinks "ooh, nice sample". As I've said a number of times in this thread, it's great to see, from a historical perspective, how these artists promoted themselves at the time of the release of the single. It almost seems these days that if you have a big enough budget, you are automatically assigned a hit, from the start. Back then, it felt like a hit was determined by the fans. I'm not saying there wasn't any manipulation from the labels, a push is a push, but the artists truly had to do the work, sometimes going as far as a third or fourth single (which in soul/R&B is a rarity). This was "I Will Survive" before the hype, before it became the disco anthem, before it was nostalgia. I like what Gaynor said on the show when answering Don Cornelius' question about whether or not she will be able to top the greatness of her cover of "Never Gonna Say Goodbye", and see said something to the effect of "I think we've already topped it with this one". It was a direct and honest comment.


I also like what ?uest said in the intro about how important these shows are, not only as entertainment and nostalgia, but to keep in mind what he feels is the "demise of black music", where it went, where it headed, and essentially asking "where did it (or we) go wrong?" Back then it was feel good music, and while it was not a part of who I am (in terms of culture), I wanted to sing and dance, it was great. It was being able to hear the people, sing from the heart and soul. These days, it almost seems if that heart and soul is being pushed to the side for the sake of a quick buck, and again, that's not to say that that hasn't happened before. Record labels and publishers are guilty of milking themselves for the sake of sucking its own teet, but when that became "Job 1", the quality disappeared. You didn't get a chance to hear the person, or his or her roots or upbringing, you now hear a voice that is as automated as... well, the music is automated, and everyone is willing to go for the ride, without variation. Variation is not a pink scarf with an additional four-leaf clover. A lot of today's music is interchangable with each other, and the music that is different, which is rooted in the music we grew up listening to, and the music they were influenced by, doesn't get as much attention because "being real" isn't sexy enough. Being common is ordinary, and, what's that lyric Cee-Lo said, everyone wants to be somebody, but they all want to be someone else? Those who attempt to be different are pulled out of the mass equation, and made to work ten times as hard as less-than-worthy music that seems to get more attention than the best music.

Gloria Gaynor didn't sound like Thelma Houston, who didn't sound like Peaches of Peaches & Herb, who didn't have Donna Summer's voice, who didn't sound like Maxine Nightengale, who didn't sound like Alicia Bridges, who didn't sing like Marlena Shaw, who was very different from Love Unlimited, who didn't quite have the sisterly unity of The Supremes, who would never rock and shock the nuts as Betty Davis would, who would never dare step up to Patti LaBelle. Everyone sounded unique, and in the case of these people, they all sounded like women, not pre-teens. If you were a pre-teen or a teen, you wanted to grow up quick so you could meet women like them, or if you were a young woman, to be like them. These days, everyone acts like high school Freshman and sing like 7th graders. Bring back the women, or maybe that should be, there are a lot of women out there with the talent and voices, put them in the spotlight. Stop putting them on Celebrity Fit Club and trying to make them fit the white perspective of beauty.

720. "@@@@-nicer disco episode"
In response to Reply # 719


          

finally the "dance contest" thing i been blogging about since two weeks ago.
i wish he'd show the jermaine jackson/switch episode in which Don sandman'd a couple
right off stage. he just interrupted them on some "i told you i was gonna catch you!"---

i asked lou ski about ms song at our show in LA and he said she works for a production company. she sure was purty.

funny how gloria was going through "thriller" idus at that moment (remember when thriller came out and cats asked "wonder if it will do as good as 'off the wall'?)

i totally forgot "never can say goodbye" was the song that she would never "trump"---glad to see her cocky position...even though she wouldn't know of the timelessness of that song until yeeeeeeeeeeeears after its release.

i really wish don would show the rufus/gino episode of 74.

he performed live and shit was on point. dramatic! and amazing--if i do say so--that was the first and only time i saw a prog-rock performance on soul train.

--actually if memory serves me correct...gino was the first white performer on soul train...not bowie or elton.

i do love it when the lights have the ability to create some drama.--as in the case of both of those performances of gino in 74 and this from 79.


oh...and to that b@#$@ from Urb magazine that gave my first Babies Makin Babies a @@ for including "the wheels of life" (she said that inclusion singlehandedly brought my rating DOWN)

eat a d@#

that song is still the shit.

killed the moment....

remember the story.....*insert dreamscape here*

this young couple came into the record store where i was working
at the time i was playing BMB, and they were looking at CDs talking
holding hands, getting all lovely dovey with it....UNTIL

"wheels of life" came on and they stopped making out...and walked out
with a disgusted look on their face.

That was just ONE story

well...in my area they've stopped showing soul train locally...BUT, it looks like WGN IS showing Soul Train this week..(whew!)...of course because of friggin BASEBALL (i can't stand baseball) WGN has Soul Train airing 4:30 AM Sunday night (Monday Morning)...

4:30 AM?
well, thank got for timed recorders...

Minnie...thats one beautiful lady
I still remember hearing about her passing too...we were in the car listening to the radio...they announced it and then played 'Memory Lane'... every time i listen to that song now a part of me goes back to that moment. As i remember, for a few days after she passed it seemed (to me anyway) that the whole world took a deep breath and went silent in honor, respect, and mostly in love... i know that didn't happen literally, but in my circles thats what it FELT like. that lady was LOVED... I know I loved her. I remember further back, I used to look at her album covers (back then my folks had Perfect Angel & Adventures) and think to myself...
'...wow she's sooo pretty. she looks so happy. She looks like she'd be real nice too. when i grow up i want to marry someone just like her'...(turns out i kinda did, lucky me. though my version doen't quite have the same singing voice of course heheh)

so Minnie here's to you you Angel...still Lovin You after all these years!

In response to Reply # 0

Miss Minnie Julia Riperton was and still is a staple in my life. As a little girl, my mother was a Minnie fan. But for some reason she wouldn't play Come To My Garden unless "the friends" were over, *shrugs*

But Perfect Angel, man I thought that caramel brown lady with the melting ice cream cone was MY angel. Her voice calmed me, even though I wasn't even born when PA came out, I came along 2 years later...So, I remember when she passed I was 3 and I didnt know what dying meant.
All I know is that I saw my mom and her friends sitting around talking
and playing her albums. I wandered in and caught this sadness, you know how you just feel something, but can't explain it? Well, that was me.

So this is how they explained it to me: You know your angel? well your angel is now with god in heaven. I said, "So she's not my angel anymore?"...as tears swelled in my eyes. Well, kinda you now have to share her with God. So I knew that she was safe, cause thats what I was taught.

As I got older, I still listen'd to her and was very critical of ANYONE who dared to remake one of her songs. When I get married (whenever the heck that will be) Minnie's songs will play when my doves fly.


Sorry, i know I should have commented on the show. Thanks, for reading but I missed the showing here...and I wont catch it til 2am.

(Odd side note: I have a lot of the magazine/newspaper articles when she passed)

from one of the dancers on the show about the Minnie Tribute Ep: "Don had to do apprx 10 takes from the Minnie Riperton Tribute due to the fact he had just hit the pipe and couldnt get her name right at first it was funny but on the 7th or 8th take the dancers started leaving the floor and the stage dancers we all just sat down on the stage and prayed he would hurry up because those stage lights can get very hot. Don finally got right on about the 12th take true story I was there."

All I gotta say is Stevie playing and singing "Perfect Angel" on piano with no accompaniment. One of the greatest (if not THEE greatest) moments I've ever witnessed on Soul Train.

Oh, and the "Memory Lane" clip was actually from the Mike Douglas show. I envy the fact that ?uest is old enough to remember these episodes. My first Soul Train memory was seeing Junior perform "Too Late" (which, to my 4-year old ears, sounded like "kool-aid") in 1982. Thanks for sharing the memories...

missing Minnie the way I've been jonin' on her lately

just bought Petals on Friday, ironically

I think I'll write my July Intrepid Media article on her

oh and Donny actually died in January of '79, by the way

I always thought 79 must've been a bad year for Stevie: he idolized Donny, produced for/was close to Minnie, and then, there's the matter of how they treated The Secret Life of Plants

but that's just my theory

I'm the one man army Jason/I never been tooken out/I keep Hollywood lookin' out

I swear Stevie is the man for real. He did such a great tribute performance for Minnie. Don looked like he was holding back tears.

wow.
all i can say is wow
this is everything i remembered.
everything was so haunting
from the intro to her name announcement
and take note that version of "loving you" was ALL THE WAY LIVE! (peep that teasing she did as the end---and that mic! man!!!! if only he showed that episode you woulda heard her kill "reasons" at the very end just like she did loving you....
and that chick tap dancer from the commercial don talked about.....damnit i wish they showed the commercials "af-ro-sheeeeeeeen" i SO remember that commercial.
and friggin don is hilllllllarious with the soul train scrambleboard giving that clue away
("it can only be one name so all you gotta do is spell it right")

man so many treats.

this was a GREAT episode.

i admit, this ep didnt sound 2 good but as soon as this ep started, the familiarity of it was killing me. this was the soul train that i remembered. i was 4 years old and was in the hospital most of 79 and 80 and remember that saturdays was my highlight. that's when i fell in love w/prince on ab but that's another story.the whispers, then shalamar. solar had a good year in 79. high inergy was killing me on the skates. questo, i can c why u had a crush on her. go 'head playa. she wasn't it 4 me.my 1st crush was on......luci martin. imho,that woman represented class, chic, posh, all of that. i was/still in love with her in that studio 54 kinda way

sexy dancer!!!!! it's a trip 2 b reminded how old school prince really is.

the moonwalk and pop-locking. anyone who thought that mj was the brain of this dance and the other dances should take a look at this ep. peeps were doing this 4 years b4 it mj made it mainstream. if i remember there was an ep where 3 dudes were doing working day and night pop locking.

so i gave this don and this ep big ups 4 taking me down memory lane and reminding me of when i fell in love with the queen of my soul (c)awb

either this was late 79 or early 80...can't place my finger on it


And the Beat Goes On - The Whispers

The Second Time Around - Shalamar

Scramble Board tune (Walter Payton): Move Your Boogie Body - The Bar-Kays

Performance: High Inergy - Skate To The Rhythm

Performance: Dick Gregory

Got to Be Enough (aka the 1st song Con Funk Shun did) is one of my all-time favorites

More later, the show is currently on


("No Homo") Edit: there's an AWFUL lot of male spandex in this episode so far (22 minutes in)

an ok ep but that year had a lot more stellar shows than THIS one
like the rick/teena ep, shalamar. or the whispers but i digress.

watching this ep made me realize how hard those cats had it back in the day. there's really no difference between the biz then and now. those cats had 2 stay afloat by any means neccessary. the u're only as good as ur next hit reamins true 2 this day. the spinners, 4 example, were past their prime and lucky 2 have working and cupid give them a few breaths b4 that 'oldies' act came in. In retrospect, it was like 3-4 years between rubberband and working but that seemed like a long time. now compare that 2 2day's acts, it would be the same "we gotta do what they like" mentality. 4 example, it would be really hard for D 2 get a hit in 2day's music climate. It's been 2 long. so i can't knock some of these acts, it's a gog eat dog competition (no doubt)

THE OG THEME!

so i guess the whispers version was the remix....ala obryan's 83 theme vs obryan's 84 smokin remix...

but i gotta say....

i love this format better...

early 1980 soul train theme vs the whispers remix

the thumping bass intro >>>>>the kick and cowbell intro
the rolling horns LOUD IN THE MIX>>>>>the horns turned considerably down
LOUDER CLAP>>>reverbed quieter clap
of course

the scotty brothers>>>>>>the generic background singers

however...i like the half hour segment horn break with a side of Sid Mccoy yelling "Sooooooooooooooooul Traaaaaaaaaain!" but if given a choice ill take the scotty brother's singing like i always knew it to be.

the animation break after con funk shun's first break shoulda been the theme. shit was funky them horns was tight....hell even the "SOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUL TRAIN!!!!" brought back scary 3am as a 8 year old memories.

add in the post Spinners interview music break (THOSE HORNS!!!! why did Don drop the HORNS!!!!!!????)

based on that seg alone? i gave a @@@ show (TOO MUCH SPANDEX!! red dude in con funk shun, and Anton and Bobcat) a @@@@.....

kinda weird to see two slow jams danced to but nice to see range. that could never happen today.

i don't know what constitutes a "great" ep from a "classic" one.
i guess general surprises.
if good music is chosen for the dance segments...maybe a comedic moment like some fool shimmying in spandex...
or the surprise of don playing a slow song and seeing dancers DANCE to it (as a dj this amazes me cause now a days...if there is no video for the song...NOONE will dance)
or even making darryl and toni hip enough to be the headliner.
quite simply? this took me back to a great time in my life: being in the 4th grade
when this used to come on at a normal hour (7pm)...and of course we can gripe about "well does this compare to the live episodes that were classic like the lsley's or the Ojay's in 74...
i can take the disco eps providing them giving me something i didn't expect.

i must say that i love this season. maybe it's because of my childhood bias. the 80 season (imho)is the train running on full steam.

i dunno about hearing dont push it dont force it every week though

when don is cracking jokes, that makes 4 a good ep (imho)

i love the dramatics. Once again(imho), i love them more than the tempts. i 4got that lj went solo around this time and the brought dude from quickest way out.

i never looked at jerma..i mean muhamm....oh hell jermaine as a take no mess kinda person but since u pointed it out ?uest, yes he didnt take no mess when it came 2 his artistic vision.

since d mentioned it, i wonder if we will c gladys and the pips next week?

does anyone know if a perfomer ever edited their song 2 fit the "soul train time"?

Nice song and all, but three weeks in a row is enough

Meaning, show another episode from another year, Don

(I know, I know, I can just FF past the song on my Tivo, but still)

And why was Jermaine so stilted? And I know he was winded from his performance, but why were his answers so short and curt with Don? It's almost like he wasn't thrilled with promoting what would turn out to be his biggest project (right?) until the '84 pop explosion
(with the day-glow orange and blue jumpsuits and cop unis in the Dynamite video, which was scandalous around my household because sweaty, buck Jermaine looked like he was "going crazy" over the white female cops as he danced with them)

Also, Let's Get Serious? GREAT R & B song. And I so slept on the fact that Stevie co-produced

hmmm....actually, one of those shows is coming on next saturday.

what don NEEDS to do is show something (anything) from the neglected 71-72 season, which features, imo, the most entertaining dancing the show ever had.

>no disrespect to tyrone davis ("in the mood" aka the beatnuts
>"lick the p@#$y" is one of my favorite jawns)

I was curious to see what you had to say about him. Tyrone Davis is that dude in these parts. "I Wish It Was Me" and "Turn Back the Hands of Time" still get classic radio play. Soul junkies know...he and Gene Chandler cut some serious sides with producer Carl Davis on the Brunswick (Dakar) label in the late 60s and early 70s. Brunswick was also home to the Chi-Lites, Young-Holt Unlimited ("Soulful Strut"), Barbara Acklin...shit was real, son. Vintage Chicago soul.

Today's ep, though...my man's just trying to stay hip. It's funny listening to Don clown him for moving to the suburbs. Can't say I blame him, though. Oak Brook is a far cry from the south side of Chicago, and like Don's stodgy ass was still living in the hood. Negro, please.

But I can't recall. I loved shit like "Can I Change My Mind," and never really got into that later stuff on CBS/Columbia, but I think he worked with different cats during this period. You can find out when 'Chelle ups the episode.

I CAN'T STAND THAT THEY LIP-SYNCHED ON SOUL TRAIN. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH DOPER IF CATS ACTUALLY SANG.

AND I BELIEVE DON CORNEILIUS DID SAY, "WELL I CAN'T REALLY TALK" AFTER GETTING ON MR. DAVIS FOR MOVING OUT THE HOOD.

there was some fine women on this ep
as i stated in some previous reviews, i am a sucker 4 those light skinned women. it's great 2 c where it came from. the soooooooooul train!!

i love 2 hear songs that just weren't dance songs like ewf let me talk on this ep. that cracks me up!!

LOL@ Tyrone Davis and kinda sad also. Dude was holding on and that Marvin remake wasn't helping. was he going 4 that spinners cupid audience? i thought in the mood was a hit. He should've stuck with that audience. why was i getting a feeling of joe the policeman from the what's going down ep of that's my mama?

teena's up there with johnny guiar watson 4 her....uhhhh...performance....

i can't wait until we do a best of/highlight post

and congrats on ur OK meechelle!!!

I look forward to watching this. I'm sure when they were asked to be on the show, they knew what "Soul Train" was and said "okay, we have to show some respect". But YMO's take of "Tighten Up"... it's 19 hours away, I can't wait. I wonder if they'll show crowd reaction.

847. "They brought a small bit of Japan to the Soul Train studio on that one"
In response to Reply # 846


  

          

I loved how there was a guy in the crowd, acting as if he was stunned and lifting up the "WOW!" sign because he was the Japanese man in the crowd being told to "stand up, please". Then to add to it, he gets down with the ladies. That had me laughing the entire time. I also liked how Don Cornelius was unfamiliar with the "song" of Kraftwerk.

The performance of "Computer Games" was cool, I had never heard that edit before so that was interesting. I'm sure some J.Lo fans got tingly.

The performance also shows how far Ryuichi Sakamoto has come since that performance (he was the keyboardist on the left, or stage right). "Computer Games" was one of those songs that was not only the soundtrack for us early gamers, but was a track you had to pop and break to along with Kraftwerk and (three years later) Art Of Noise. Sakamoto doesn't have to worry anymore, and to think that for some people, YMO were supposed to be a Japanese new wave/techno-pop group, while others saw and heard them as the Japanese Kraftwerk. They fit all of those categories, but were also a great pop group who were very smart at what they did and extremely clever in how they executed it, and as we know with "Tighten Up", very funny when they wanted. Then again, they did call themselves "Yellow Magic" Orchestra for a reason.

Lenny Williams was great too, even though at this point his career (and that of Tower Of Power) were going down the tubes.

It's also nice to see a time when people celebrated Michael Jackson pre-THRILLER. Those were the days.

In closing, what was up with Cheryl Song's part-bathing suit/leotard, part-Ace Frehley outfit? Eh.

848. "damnit!!!!! so it was as zany as i remember?"
In response to Reply # 847


  

          

this ep more than any will make me shutup.

i mean i been fortunate to spead my soul jones to most people within ear reach so ive been blessed to get alot of episodes from the 70s.

even at the top of this season when it was 70s heavy i was praying for some lost 300 episodes. with only 7 episodes left i know i won't see everything. if anything i want you guys to see the classic ones i seen but id rather these last 7 be the ones that i dont have on tape.

i cant WAIT for chelle to put this one up....

this ep more than any was indicative of my childhood on a saturday in the 80s (73-75 was on in afternoons, 76-80 was on at 1am, and 81-89 was on 12pm.)

get up at 8 to cram the xylophone lesson i know good and well i shoulda studied during the week....knowing if i fuck up Mr Benner would tell my dad and NO soul train when we get home.

10am Mr Benner while dad waited.
11am Mcdonalds with dad.
11:50am "step on it dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hurry!!!!!!!!!!!"

11:58 the last of the WWF themes (wasn't into wrestling but this would be the time when that dude who was "the claw" would "claw" someone's face and they would ghostbusters censor sign the screen as if he let a bloody mess on some hostile shit (usually bob bakland or a "good guy" of that order)---the credits.....a used car commercial, a crazy eddie commercial, and whatever baseball preview for 6pm and then

the stars...
the earth (or sun---lol i wonder what was on don's mind with this whole train moving beyond the earth thing?)---

and then sid

"THE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUL TRAIN!"

scary as fuck.


so my predictions for the last 7?

i feel like he will show either diana's Why Do Fools Fall In Love tribute episode.

he is a fool if he don't show a New Edition episode (who in my opinion gave better performances than J5 on the show---well sans the dancing machine ep.....) the two most memorable ones were their first appearance in which Lou Ski joined em onstage for "Candy Girl" and i consider their performance of "The Kinda Girls We Like" on of the top 25 performances of the show some 3 visits later.)

or maybe the Debarge/Herbie Hancock ep too--i think that link was youtubed right? when don made El sing the end of "time will reveal" to prove he was real at his craft?

perhaps the redd foxx/rockwell ep in which Redd did this tap routine.---don was all about firsts.

or maybe the four tops/stacey lattisaw ep in which a young Arsenio did a routine about the ex dancers Don fired who now did mcdonald commercials.

what to do what to do?

851. "Yes"
In response to Reply # 848


  

          

I grew up on a fair share of Japanese programming, whether it was superhero stuff (Kikaida, Kikaida 01, Kaiman Rider), sumo wrestling, or some of the game shows that aired. At least today, and especially in the last 20 years, Japanese programming has made a small impact here in the U.S. so if one sees something quirky or unusual, one can say "oh, that's the Japanese for you". It's cutesy, fun, and sometimes a big WTF?, not unlike watching "Ninja Warrior" and realizing that maybe people do live and climb buildings as if Super Mario was a real person, and occasionally are on the lookout for Godzilla. I also like the fact that they were all sporting Sony Walkman headphones, a few months before the Walkman became huge. Portability, in my pocket? HOLY SHIT!

Away from that, it's also great to see these artists most people don't talk about anymore unless it's the hot sample of the moment, and that's the sad thing, the fact that these artists were our stars and heroes, the same way a lot of kids look up to Chris Brown, NE-YO, and Rihanna today. It's very easy to say there's a high turnover rate, and yet those who are loyal to the music and the people behind it will always remember. At least for me, I'm still very close to much of this music so while it doesn't feel old, age and knowing when these performances were done makes me realize how much things have passed us by.

Sun Jul-15-07 06:56 AM by Voodoochilde

          

when my kids started getting into any and all things Asian...(the Anime stuff of course and the gaming stuff too, and also some of the music)...you know kids, how they think think they're the FIRST ones to be into this or that? I suppose we all did it to a degree when we were kids too...but when they tried to adopt that 'we're into this stuff that you're too old to know about' attitude...i wasn't having it...i was like, ohhhh no ya don't...we were digging that stuff BEFORE it was considered 'cool' on the mass level that it is nowadays...

i quickly dropped some 'YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA' on them followed by a 'Kraftwork' jam ('Numbers' of course...even though Kraftwork was german, in 'Numbers' they did count in Japanese at one point...plus the song is STILL irresistable.)...then i suplexed them with a heavy dose of 'StarBlazers', 'Speed Racer', 'Kimba', and 'Battle Of The Planets', and sucker punched them with 'Johnny Sako and his Flying Robot' and 'Ultraman'...(i remember having magazines with PICTURES of that 'Kaiman Rider' show you spoke of, and remember wanting to see it SO badly....but unfortunately the only station that could reach my area at the time that was showing this Asian stuff never aired that program....but BIG props to WDCA channel 20 out of DC for hooking us up with this stuff way back when back at the beginning of cable! Wonder were Captain 20 is these days? I wish i still had those magazines. Not sure where or how i got them, but i guess since i lived on an army base for a while they probably just carried some of the imported stuff on the shelves with everything else. Yeah i do remember having Gummi Baren (aka Gummy Bears) looonng before the non army-kids...that shit was crack-ahead-of-its time back then. I was like the Gummi Pimp).

where was i? oh yeah...my kids were looking at me like 'wait,but...you're GROWN. You aren't supposed to like this kind of stuff!'

I'm like 'PHFFFT. Please...we were into Anime before they CALLED it Anime ya'll...'

course they thought some of the shows were corny and bad...and some WERE...but, that's part of the charm of em. we'll, for me anyway...

anywayz...i digress...boy do i digress...

YMO...yeah, we dug them in my circle back then too. I'm looking forward to seeing this EP for them and the rest of the fun & games.

honestly, even if i sometimes give you trouble up in artist, you really should be a music professor if you decide to retire from the music, or a host of a bill moyers* type show doing in depth conversations with folks in the music

852. "Indeed"
In response to Reply # 850


  

          

For those who don't know, "Firecracker" is an old song that YMO covered. When A&M released it as a single, it was promoted with the "Computer Games" title, so while many people know the "Firecracker" melody and call it that, a good portion of us know YMO's version as simply "Computer Games".

I had never heard of these cats before

And I considered myself up on such things (ie Kraftwerk, Eno, etc)

I saw them performing as part of Live Earth last week, and remembered that they'd be on ST this week

Hot sh*t, if I must say so myself

And Lenny was cool too, although I couldn't help but laugh at his reasoning behind choosing to cover Ooh, Child: (paraphrasing) "Because, you know, we're going through some tough times, and so I'm saying that things are going to be easier, you know, they're going to be brighter" instead of the more obvious "I did it to get some crossover spins" answer (or maybe that's just me being cynical)

But what I really want to talk about, and it was touched on last week was... the WOMEN! Good Lord, there were some fiiiiiiiine ones all over the place this week... I went back and watched the Tighten Up performance again just so I could peep shorty who was dancing behind YMO's manager in the crowd, lol...

The beautiful ladies alone make me give this episode an A



(and I know I complained a couple of weeks ago, but I'm sorry, I have to do it again: here's hoping Don will bless us with shows from other years besides 1980...)

ok, i loved this ep...funkadelic was comedy and betty was cute (timely with the new angie single) but the best was the flashback w/ Joe Tex! i love the 80's but it'd be nice to dip into the earlier eps at this point.

watching the girl vs. guy dance line reminded me how we couldn't wait to do the dance line at the middle school dance something probably lost on kids these days.

how many people so far have mentioned doing their record with stevie?

copy and paste the link - enjoy!

883. "WTF, was this Interpretive Dance Week? (SPOILERS)"
In response to Reply # 0
Sun Jul-29-07 05:52 AM by ZooTown74

  

          

Why was everybody on the stage just posing ("voguing?") and pointing instead of... you know, DANCING to the music? Cheryl Song was seriously irritating me with all the pointing...

(btw, has anyone here had a chance to meet the kid of a Soul Train dancer? like, say you met Cheryl Song's kid... in the back of your mind wouldn't you be like, "damn, son, a grillion cats in barbershops and cribs across America were looking at your moms EVERY WEEK, fantasizing about smashing... how do you feel about that?" also btw, I don't know if Ms. Song has kids or not, it's just a hypothetical)

And when did they let former L.A. Laker great Jamaal Wilkes* get up on stage, then devote a whole segment to him Meadowlark Lemon-ing it up as everyone watched? The fukk was that? I thought they were going to stop the music and put on the whistling Sweet Georgia Brown at some point... sheesh...

Also, Ray needed a band. No, seriously. He could have at least had a drummer and a bassist up there, damn. Clive wasn't springing for fake bands or something back then? Didn't GQ have one when they were on the show?

(btw again, I don't know for sure if GQ actually was ever on Soul Train, I'm just making a ridiculous reach by comparing Arista artists from that time period in order to take an unwarranted shot at Clive Davis, word to Kelly Clarkson)

And was it just me, or did Sister Sledge get FINER as they got older?

Now, it would be real easy to clown that second number, but dammit, compare that to what we have today, and, well... actually, it was kinda elegant and classy, in an awkward kind of way... speaking of classy...

LOL @ "Street Love"... yo, I forgot about that song... Ray did his thing, didn't he... good stuff... and of course this was 3 years before he would write the record that would (hopefully?) ensure that he'd never have to work again... who you gonna call?

Now I can't hear Let It Whip without hearing that white label Justin Timberlake "Cry Me A River" remix in my head...

And am I the only one who's disturbed by the (perceived) negative tone of Tom Tom Club's Genius of Love, like they're really being condescending to black folks with those lyrics? Or maybe I'm just being hypersensitive...

(btw one more time, after hearing Mtume's "Give it On Up" a couple of weeks back, I really need to see that episode that I SWEAR they were on... the one where we first saw them on stage, rocking African masks, performing that song, which is one of my all-time favorites... Em-Too-May...)

Also, bonus points for the prominent use of what my Grandma used to derisively call the "Crotch Cam"... the infamous low-LOW-angle shot where we'd almost be able to see a female dancer's undergarments... yeah, I know, ladies, I'm sorry and all, but cmon (c) The Money Man

And lastly, what was up with all of the LEOTARDS? This was around the time when that Jane Fonda jawn was jumping off, wasn't it?

Okay episode, if only for the collective fineness of Sister Sledge and Ray looking awkward-yet-still-badass as he performed with just a guitar and NO MIC, which looked especially bad when it was juxtaposed with the Smokey Robinson performance from 1975...


*yeah, that wasn't Jamaal Wilkes. But I was fooled for a quick second

probably my favorite solo Smokey track of all time. Dude looked smashed out of his mind but the performance was flawless.

Another observation: the Scramble Board users were having a harder than usual time spelling "Ralph Sampson". Let's Work must've been too funky for them. LOL.

892. "RE: BOST Ray Parker, Sister Sledge."
In response to Reply # 888


  

          

hey y'all. the name's nickfresh. ahmir invited me here. i have been running "SOULTRAINFANS" for six years (I was the first one to start posting ST clips on Youtube, that's my word to Lou-Ski, all the while going through college... and gigging with bands... and collecting Soul Train.) and i deft. wanted to make sure... after reading this thread for almost six months... to let y'all know y'all got something dope going here. And whether BOST continues or not... the interaction in this thread is priceless. i've laughed. i've cried. i've downloaded. thanx.

life story and props aside...

This weekend's episode of ST was pretty good for me. I'd give it @@@.

because:

Let It Whip was used incessantly during the Soul Train line around this time (i'd have to say it had to have been used at least six or seven times), so that turned me off.

Did y'all know that Ray Parker Jr's lp was really called "I Just Can't Wait To Get My Hoe On?" Both songs sounded the same and were the same essentially which didn't really move me too much.

This also confirmed for me that the best time for Sister Sledge was when Kathy had her braces. And I did like this version (or at least the production) of "All the man I need." the guy that was duetting with here was David Simmons, and he had a song out in the late 70's/earlier 80's... that i believe actually charted.

the dance segments were great otherwise... "Let's Work" and "The Gigolo" were my highlight tracks this show.

think of nick as the michelle of youtube/and his own soultrain website.

but if there is someone that knows more about soultrain more than i d---lol really? i still feel like a C- student when it comes to soul train trivia. (i can assume that is all your info on wikipedia correct?---i added some tidbits too)--i mean my memory is clear cause that is the only show i was allowed to watch as a kid so i remember every detail.

but uh man glad to see you made it here with us

Well, I can also confirm for a fact that Wanda Sykes is NOT hosting ST, either. That happened in May where, on her messageboard, her publicist said that that was a rumour and Wanda Sykes never had anything to do with ST in the first place.

And I was watching Youtube and some guy just visited LA and Paramount Studios and they ended up on the ST soundstage. everything is still up, but it looks abandoned.

either Don has a plan or doesn't or is keeping it under wraps. all i know is that STF membership is at an all-time high and ST is basically on a second wind in popularity.

im in chicago so finally a market in which this shit comes on in a normal hour.


>sorry Zoo but i can't get enough of Cheryl. Even that annoying
>a** pointing was turning me on like a mofo


you know i too was like "damn how come cheryl was never the woman of my dreams as much as i watched this show as a youngster--cause i didn't even get the idea about a sexy woman running my life on this show until rosie came aboard in 1986--but uh...yeah ms song is a sexy ass motherfucker. not "mofo" but motherfucker (wonder if she is on nick's website with current photos)---but watching her now? man i slept like a mofo. i mean i acknowledged her beauty but besides her 2 second cameo in "Beat It" i never saw her as a "sex symbol" that i just wanted to FTSOO (you can imagine what that stood for)---

that freezing shit is funny cause basically even though 1981 was the year of the Jacksons live album...they are pretty much doing "the Michael Jackson" (best displayed by lou ski)

but um...if i ever had a wish in life? i'd Delorean my ass 88 mph to LA circa 1981 and kidnap me some Song.





>and what about the brother in the purple and yellow doing ????
>the white boy dance??? whoa!!!!


i said the same shit!!!!

i wish they showed the janet/michael mcdonald episode so we can all peep the queen of the whiteboy dance which was janet.

besides courtney cox---how many white people did the WBD?

in history i seen more blacks do it....--this cat, eddie, carlton, janet and me lol

bassists

(btw, I just read the story of what they had to go through to get their version of Sukiyaki made... good Lord...)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Taste_of_Honey_(band)

Anyway, I hear y'all on Ms. Song... I ain't saying she ain't fine, I just want to see her dancing, not posing and pointing... it's irritating, is all

I liked Mr. Osborne's performances, particularly the first one. I long for the days of the gentle, non-misogynistic kiss-off song...

On the Wings of Love must have been one of those "non-single radio" hits... it appears there was a lot of that going on back then...

It'd be cool to hear the story of how Rick James got the idea to recruit The Temptations for Standing on the Top (underrated song, btw)

Oh, and forgive me, ladies, but the leg action was OFF THE METER this week...

Pretty good episode... now, with the news that all of that new Soul Train stuff may or may not be going down, it will be interesting to see if Don keeps throwing us more Best Ofs... I personally wouldn't mind it, but I'm not sure if Tribune would like to see a season of nothing but old episodes...

Besides. Tribune wanted Don to go in this direction in the first place because the new shows were so low in ratings, according to very reliable sources.

Rick was related too Melvin Franklin. Rick was either a cousin or nephew. Didnt take much recruiting. The Temps star was fading fast. Ricks was rising/had risen. The Tempts needed that new sound. They recorded the song for the Reunion album. It was the only time The Tempts was a 6-man unit "on-stage". Otis Willliams, Melvin Franklin, Eddie Kendricks, David Ruffin, Dennis Edwards, and I believe Ron Tyson. Eventhough, all 6 are in the video. They werent all there for the Recording.

Correction: It was a 7-man unit, not Ron Tyson but Glen Leonard and Richard Street. Video from that (short lived)Reunion Tour is in high demand, but here's the promotional video they did.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

maybe it was because the o'bryan years is what i remember the best about the train (1..2..3...curl)
maybe it was angela's beautiful tonight i give in(4got all about this cut)
maybe it was the fact that i just can't recall ever seeing jamaal wilkes on this show (3 eps in a row)
maybe it was hearing one of my fav slow jams (love's train)
maybe it was seeing d kiss a guest 4 the 1st time (angela)

nope

it was hearing a FULL song on soul train (PYT)

mike was THAT big...he was the only one i can remember that got a full song without the infamous st fade out

atomic dog was murdered minutes earlier!!!!

924. "RE:"Soul Train's A-Comin (La-La-La-La).. Comin... " (SPOILERS)"
In response to Reply # 923


  

          

YAY! The O'Bryan years. And that LP Version of STAC had one of the most hypnotizing and memorable basslines I may have ever heard.

Why I LOVED this episode:
Because they played Atomic Dog they were all doing that dance they were doing that season (the whole chest/humping thing...I LOVE THAT DANCE... and Give me time to make a FRESHbeat., I'll bring that shit back, LOL)

AND.

two words: "I'm Freaky." ONE of the BEST SONGS EVER USED this season. and one of the best in OB's catalogue. That song really never gets old. and the drum programming and synth riffs mesh together better than peaches and herb.

AND.

The lighting during "Too Tough" was DOPE. That was white, right? And you know the jam had to be *THAT MUCH THE SHIT* when the all the neon (including the sign) is off. Angela's interview was funny. Quite a shame that GRP wouldn't let her do shows like "Soul Train" during her years there... and at the same rate, that was her first/last appearance on the show (damn shame Clive didn't pump more money into her 1984 "Can't Slow Down" LP that was done by THE SYSTEM).


AND.

Crystal screaming "WORK IT, CHERYL" right before the disco ball wiped to some SONG. LOUIE emerging from behind the stage... That pumping dance.. OMG!


But. two downsides to this one: "Boogie Down" and there were so many hot jams on CFS' "TO THE MAX" LP (namely 'Ms. Got The Body'), why in the hell did they do that second song?

Therfore... it's @@@ 1/2 for me.

Never throw toilet paper on a bear.

927. "highlights!"
In response to Reply # 0


          

thank god for this theme.

i still love the remix better (i like the straight no chaser sid yell than the reverbed delay of "THE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUL TRAIN!" on the lp version.

im still a sucker for the live bass and drum fills of the remix.
not to mention the glitch that occurs in the half hour mark of the theme
before don introduces the headline act

(compare the glitchless half hour mark version from the "LP" versions we got (e.c.king/grandmaster flash ep, and the angela bofil/confunk ep) to the version on the "remix" episodes (donna summer/staples; dazz/run dmc;james ingram/levert and next weeks episode)

the remixed version contains a clapped skip so minor before obryan goes into the chorus: "i know you like to move baby, i can see you like to move oh yeah...(the glitched offbeat clap that pretty much started my pre dilla obsession with doing shit offbeat occurs here) then to the "soul trains a coming" etc....


this mark's the third time a intro reversal gag occurred on the show (teena maria and jeffrey osborne got gagged into the "supporting" billing at the top of the show much like angela did for this episode.


i love how they kill the white boy dance on LRC.---what's even crazier is this really don't seem "that" dated. i mean the thriller gear is a bit much but most of these women look like the women i go out with now. so we are pretty much in a time warp (props to the jawn in white whose arse you first see on atomic dog)

i love that don referred to marvin as "the king" (and that chick with the long hair is about to give cheryl a run for her money...she gets the second place winner behind the chick in white) "joy" might have the second longest intro next to the song billy davis and marilyn did 2 months back. (peep the static on the 45 as "joy" played)

"love's train". damn. back then its like "oh this might be filler and/or that song on the radio my aunt loves" but now its proven itself as a timeless classic. amazing that don can just call that in thin air. don also seemed to enjoy interviewing the guests on the show. not the don i met or the one that pos painted on de la soul is dead's "peas the peas"

there is a slight chance the organ player is playing to this track (for i went to my version on the ipod and dont hear any of those organ fills on "Rise")--man...there will never be a show like this show ever, i want to run this show again.

don has a way of making casual shit sound like a gift from heaven. im sure back then it was great script writing but "too tough" was truly one of the funkiest shits out in 1983. and that says alot being as though the eclipse of purple was monopolizing all that was funky for this period.

i regret not informing you that angela bofill was one of THE most fun, goofiest, crazy interviews black music has EVER produced. her appearances on talk shows and guest stints on the grammies and american music awards are LEGENDARY (second to only james ingram who's reading of the classical category of the grammies is a study in comedy) she has this infectious smile that angela basset had doing tina turner in WLGTDWI. props to the off kilter lighting too. methinks there was a sole lighting director JUST for 1983 cause this season alone is very unique in its color scheme especially the dark themed dance line.

7th grade flashback

"i can be...all i want tuh...and all i need is to get my big head down!"


swore to god al was talking about his goofy big head.

this dance line is the GOAT of them all since TBOST
cheryl doing the "beat it" dance
hon in the black leather pants.....DAYUM
louie is a fool for the two parter. i love the fact he just did his most "i dont have to do no more for i am the coolest nigga on this show"

what is the name of the chick after louie?

is that crystal? and is that the same crystal don asked on the funkadelic episode "crystal what are you doing up here?"

"tonight i give in" wow...not the jazz angie but pops may have to reconsider his stance.

to me a good ep is how sinister sid sounds as he introduces (nice 2 sec delay sid), how classic the songs danced to, how the women look, how crazy the fashion is, and the songs performed. with the exception of the second con funk shun dud all the songs performed are soul staples.

the lights were a treat ....


hell i think this deserves a @@@@.


i pray this is NOT the 3rd to last ep.

(random thoughts)
this was basically filler
the first 2 songs i didnt even know existed
klique was ehhhhh....i remember that song and knew that's why he got the part in la bamba.
how many people made a song about fire/being hot/burning up?????
(that could be a post within itself)
cold blooded being played 4 1 minute was hilarious
i am a little under the weather on meds dozing in/out and 4 a sec i SWORE j holliday was mabel king.
i 4got reece produced her...and it sounded like ewf circa 83!!
jermaine's ALWAYS been greasy!!!

has anyone contacted dc productions and asked them how do they determine what ep 2 show? this eyes closed and point 2 a tape method is killing me. we r missing out on some good shit!!!

we need 2 research that. nick, ?uest...anyone!!

lol, agreed. don needs to change the title of this from "the best of soul train" to "random sh!t from the vault."

don started out lovely the first couple weeks (barry white, al green) but it didn't take long for me to realize this "best of" crap was a complete farce (Pebbles, 1984 era Staple Singers?!?!)

*Sigh*

933. "Yeah, this was a meh episode"
In response to Reply # 931


  

          

>klique was ehhhhh....i remember that song and knew that's why
>he got the part in la bamba.

Howard stuck out like a sore thumb during those performances. It's clear that he was the most talented cat in the group... his energy during the second number -- which included that AWFUL camera shot behind him as he played the percussion solo -- made it worth watching...


>cold blooded being played 4 1 minute was hilarious

Yeah, that was odd...


>i 4got reece produced her...and it sounded like ewf circa 83!!

I didn't know that until she said it, and after hearing that song, it made sense...


>jermaine's ALWAYS been greasy!!!

Ha ha ha... yeah, it was weird seeing all of those cats but having Jermaine be the focus, ESPECIALLY with the big-ass JERMAINE sign... and I'm hoping that it was an unfortunate coincidence/circumstance due to the small stage that Michael was obscured by Jermaine in the hard camera shot and most other shots...


>has anyone contacted dc productions and asked them how do they
>determine what ep 2 show? this eyes closed and point 2 a tape
>method is killing me.

Cosign

And we still don't know what this season's going to look like yet?

Couple of other quick notes...

There were some world-class honeys this week, but the one that got me was the one I affectionately will refer to as... Big Chocolate... you know who she was... white dress... THICK... shook what her mama gave her in the Soul Train line... yeah... I believe it was moments like that one for which the Slo-Mo on the TiVo remote were made for... thank you, TV gods...

I liked Jennifer Holliday's songs, they were fine...

... Rockit is still a great fucking record...

And why was Lou-Ski high-fiving dudes' SHOES in the Soul Train Line?


And a couple of quick notes from last week, since I didn't get a chance to chime in then...

Man, Angela Bofill was beautiful to see and hear... she was so sexy, she was so regal, she was so... GEEKY! LOL... Her interview with so cool to peep... my perception of her as a classy, "nose-in-the-air," R & B diva in the mold of the late, great Phyllis Hyman was forever shattered... I found it refreshing... and I did a double-take at the song lyrics: "He's too tough for me/He's from another scene/He's too tough for me/I want him in between"... er... word... it was hard to focus on Tonight I Give In because I couldn't reconcile the two images (her geeking out in the interview compared to her being a sultry love singer) in my mind...

But for real, let's continue to keep this lady in our prayers, eh?

Switching gears, here's a quick shouts-out to (Zoo native) Narada Michael Walden...

And Love's Train is an all-time top 5 love ballad... what a wonderful song... it's amazing to realize that even though everyone was moving toward synthesizers and drum machines at this time, the songs still had some soul in them...


Also, I consider myself a fan of the original O'Bryan Soul Train's A Comin' song... the remix just sounded... off to me...

In response to Reply # 934


  

          

the live kit feel of the remix just doesn't do as much for me. that LP version is grittier and (as i said before) hypnotizing.

Thie episode is a @@@ for me.

I have been trying to see some of teh season 13 eps for quite some time now!

only because...

how the Sugarhill Gang got play for "Kick It Live From 9 to 5." When i was in seventh or eighth grade, my mother copped the Sugarhill Records Story boxset... and that was one of the tracks on there... and while it wasn't a standout track, i still dreamt of them dancing to this on ST. Imagine my surprise... I was fuckin shocked to hear and see it.

AND...

This was also the first time I heard Klique's "Stop Doggin' Me Around" in full. Everyone must remember that i was only like a month old when this ep originally aired, lol. I loved it. They covered that song correctly.

AND...

How the set was dark (again) for the line. It made me enjoy "ROCKIT" all over again. BTW... did anyone else peep Vivica Fox going down the line? she sure couldn't dance.

(Oh yeah, Louie was slapping the shoes down... he would point at his shoes during the line sometimes, but i'm figuring during this line that he was going to point at his shoe and the guys put their shoes up before he could, hence the slapping, lol)


I just wish they could've dwelve into this season more... particularly the Tom Tom Club/Howard Johnson ep... That would be a show to behold. I guess Don is trying to cover up the fact this season was showcasing more pop than any season of the show... It seemed strange that there wasn't many people in the audience, also.

Oh, Good news for all invovled... Sept 1st: Sheena Easton and The Mary Jane Girls from 1985.

Never throw toilet paper on a bear.

That song could have been on his solo from that year. Sounds just like that solo album material. I can hear him sanging that one.

Was it just me or was ther a brother wearing a full Bobbie/Keystone Cop uniform during the (I think) Jeffery Osborne song?
I've seen some wild outfits on vintage ST before but I think this cat even had a night stick.
And someone up above mentioned a thick jawn in a white dress going down the soul train line. Nice! hopefully this ep will be uploaded so I can see both again.

...and if you listen hard enough I say some things - Jeezy

a/k/a the guy with the masks. he started the mask shit around 84ish-85, but danced on the show from 79-93. He even had a breakdance tape out in '84 (BREAKDANCE: You Can Do It)...from what i know, he's not doing too well these days, so send your prayers up.

So, who saw it?

After I come back from work... I'll ...umm... tell you what i think.

BTw, Quest, Teena's LP she was promo'ing this eppy was "Starchild." Sadly, she was not on ST for Emerald City... which I, too, think was her best SOLID Epic Release.

944. "meh. @@ 1/2 (SPOILERS!)"
In response to Reply # 943


  

          

Of course, as most of you know, I have been longing to see the 80's episodes. And many of you also know that i have been longing to see this episode because it featured some of my favorite artists... and since it was in late 84-early 85, i just *know* that they were jammin.


all that said... I was really disappointed. I gave this ep a @@ 1/2.

Because:

That Teena Marie and Ronnie McNeir duet was a waste of my time. "Out On A Limb" or "Help Youngblood Get To The Freaky Party" were the songs I always imagined the dancers going crazy over... and as badddd as Ronnie McNeir's 1984 RCA LP was (The Ronnie McNeir Experience... with Rene and Angela producing most of it), all Don C. could mention was when he was on ST in damn 75-76 where he forgot to shout-out bama Pontiac, MI? *roll eyes*

AND...

The Inclusion of Ray Parker Jr's "Jamie," Jeffrey Osborne's "Borderlines," and (even though.. I like it in other settings) Hall and Oates "Out Of Touch." While I was all for the intergration of Soul Train, almost everyone knows Don C. totally overdid it... and by the time 85 hit, Hot Adult Contemporary formats were forming... Those are what you call the stations that play predomitably black music with a sprinkle of pop music thrown in... and at this time Don C. was trying to save face, really. I mean... where's Stevie Wonder's "Love Light In Flight" or... Billy Ocean's "Loverboy"...or... Debbie Deb's "Lookout Weekend?" or... Paul Hardcastle's "Rainforest"... or... well... nevermind.

AND...

The Line? At this point of the game for Soul Train, the girls were fly and fine and *GIVING AS MUCH DRAMA AS THEY COULD* (see Crystal McCarey particularly during the intro of K&TG's "Misled" this episode)... but... the guys were jamming HARDER than the women... like.. to the point where it reminded me of one of later episodes where the camera were swerving around with the women line. I even called it. I KNEW they were going to use Midnight Star's "Operator" and as hot as that jawn was... that's all they could give us? hmmph. Even ISA (at the beginning of the line) wasn't bringing the heat :|

AND...

WHO in the HELL Put Nieci in the Cage? Whoever's idea was for the cages, I personally never liked it. only because they never got ANY time on camera. hehe.


BUT.

FOUR reasons why I didn't stop the DVR:

1. Whodini (after all, i remember them doing FCOAN back when i was a wee child and while they didn't do 5MOF, Friends was still the Sh!T)
2. MR X (What A Surprise... and he had the breakdance moves in there!! At this stage... he was ST Royalty)
3. The Inclusion of Rockmaster Scott and the Dynamic Three's "Request Line" (My mouth was wide open at this one like it was for the Sugarhill Gang's jam last week... I thought Rap sucked?! lol)
4. I finally got to know the girls name during the scrambleboard... (Tammy (the 3rd) was on ST for like four years... and she was into the show... always singing the songs during artist segments... even got some riser time during Leon Haywood's "Tenderoni" a few episodes back..) She was awesome... with that hairstyle and all. hehe.)


and besides, it's still from the 80's. Since I had my expectations up so high for this ep... I'm keeping them low for Next Week.... Sheena Easton and The Mary Jane Girls...

this show was anti climatic
i love lady t but that song wasnt even a single (or was it). i was only 10 in '85.
jalil was almost up there with the best as far as his lip synching skills

this was also the beginning of the cage dancing aka the ho train era

945. "To me, this episode showed more than any other the notion of the"
In response to Reply # 0
Sun Aug-26-07 01:43 PM by ZooTown74

  

          

"Shameless R & B Crossover Money Grab" movement of the mid-80's, where R & B cats were making records that were BLATANT stabs at crossover airplay (and possible MTV airplay if they could show that their blackness wasn't too threatening?)

And ironically enough, the biggest example of this came in the form of the Hall and Oates Out of Touch video...

Okay, not really, I just felt like talking about this video for a second, lol...

Now, Out of Touch (the album version and this video "remix" version) is one of my favorite songs, but it's not exactly I Can't Go For That '84... hell, it's not even Your Kiss is On My List '84 or You Make My Dreams Come True '84... the point is, the single wasn't as soulful as their previous ones, imo...

(and yeah, that video's "cheesy" now, but damn if I didn't LOVE that joint back then... and actually, Big Bang Boom isn't that bad of an album, this was the one that had the much stronger single Method of Modern Love -- I mean, the "M.E.T.H.O.D O.F. L.O.V.E.")

I actually dug the Teena ballad with Ronnie McNeir... but I hear nickfresh on his preference for the other singles... I was actually surprised that this song was up first, seeing as Lovergirl was the big hit (and first single, was it not?)... they might have decided to do this number first in order to (re)introduce Ronnie to the people and whatnot...

Everytime I see/hear a rap act from this time on the show I can't help but hear Pos' "... but Don don't like rap, so that won't happen" lyric in the back of my head... fair or no, that just colors my perception of whatever Don says in regard to rap music on these episodes... I think I read too much into his Whodini introduction when he said they were "the current rage in the field of street music"... like, I overanalyzed his vocal tone when he said the shit... point being, I read too much into Don's alleged disdain for hip hop...

... and why did Jalil appear to crack up when Ecstasy went into his "it's about time for records other than the, you know, 'women droppin' babies into garbage pails'..." speech? Was that supposed to be a "shot" at Mel and nem?

And I forgot how massive an album Escape was back then...

I remember not liking Midnight Star's Operator simply because it was a blatant self-jacking of their own Electricity from the No Parking on the Dance Floor album the year before... almost the exact same song (or at least from what I can recall)...

Hey, was Request Line an Orange Krush production? Sure sounded like it...

Lou-Ski was killin' it again this week...

And the Soul Train Line was eh... except for the thick one in the purple dress with the bowtie front... I was highly upset that we didn't get to see her dance...

I agree with nickfresh that this was a meh episode, but mainly because the music was so bland for the most part...

946. "the guy playing guitar w/Teena Marie..."
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

is my boy Dave from the D....professionally known as Nikki Slikk

I met Dave cuz I was doing some production work for my homeboy Ken(an incredible MC)....and they were recording in Dave's studio...

I rapped w/dude and began doing work there myself soon after...

Dave liked my unorthodox production methods and once he figured out I wasnt the average knucklehead, we got to talkin abt music and whatnot...

one day while I was waiting for my session, I found a scrapbook in the lobby...

I leafed thru it and found pics of Dave onstage w/Teena Marie and promo materials from an album he did w/his band on Epic Records in 1985...

I was like "DUDE!!!"

come to find out this cat was Teena Marie's guitar player for many years....

He was REALLY low-key abt it.....his studio was doing VERY well for him so he wasnt sweating any of it...

his whole attitude was, "we played...it was fun..."

you'd never guess him for a show biz dude....cuz Dave is a genuinely nice dude and mad low key abt his career...

good to see him in his heyday....

949. "Prince and the D..."
In response to Reply # 947


  

          

have a special relationship because we were the first major city to accept him with open arms....thanks to the legendary Electrifyin' Mojo breaking him on the Detroit airwaves...

so he spent alot of time in the D...especially 79-83...he'd often make multiple tour stops in MI...

but to be honest, it was more of a give and take with P...

in the late 70's/early 80's there were alot of scenes poppin off...we've aways had a strong rock scene(Stooges, Nugent, Seger, MC5, Romantics, etc), the disco and funk scenes were still strong, and techno was being born at this time...there wasnt the musical segregation like in other cities(The Romantics OTHER hit, Talking In Your Sleep, got play on the R&B station)...

an alarming number of studio cats are from the D as well...

he may have come to the D and got some style and bonded with the musician community...but the Purple Rain-era look was straight Hendrix mixed with the glam rock look...Glam was very popular in the D as well(thus the acceptance of the androgyny P brought to Black music)...

As for Dave, he's a great self-taught musician who never got his props along with his Detroit homeboy, Teena's bassist and sometimes writing partner, Allen McGrier(Mr. Square Biz)...

Dave says, "I was in Rick James' camp, but I was listening to Prince...."

I wouldnt be surprised if P gleaned some things from the D, but we got alot from him, too...

cause this is the white elephant we aint even saying:

you know and i know (well at least the regular 10 who trudge through this poast---and i'll start a new one now that there is no season 37 creeping up on us (whew!)


the thing is.


this song does not hold a candle to "fire and desire".


i got to watch those two (james) do this like a week after rick got outta jail in 2000. and man oh man...

this mofo sang that shit like MY life depended on it.

just like she is singing this shit like her life depended on it.


poor ronnie (and i agree with you nick...don shoulda reminded johnny come nevers about who Ron was.) just seemed stiffed like he just got outta jail for 10 years and is just getting used to the world again....like Teena gave him a nice look out.

and that is how i saw it....he befriended her in 74 when she signed and she looked out for the cook out once she blew up...nice gesture.

but deep inside we were all saying....."damn...if she'd only come on the show when Street Songs got an entire show dedicated to it to ass rape the shit outta that song.


lol.


so with that out the way....who wins the battle of the duet?


kathy sledge and her husband with that Straight Outta Off Broadway rendition of "He's All The Man I Need" or this jawn?


since lyp synching is cheese all over the place i say go all the way limburger (so the uber cheese "all the man" wins for shits and giggles...."meeting like this" just angers me that he wasn't rick matching her energy note for note)

guys?

But I seriously didn't have that big a problem with ol' dude...

And I'm guessing Rick wasn't invited to do this record because of the Teena-jetting-from-Motown-under-less-than-friendly-circumstances political fallout?

961. "and even crazier is the introduction digital box at the intro"
In response to Reply # 958


          

i had a photo of the jacksons in 1980 performing on soul train in ebony magazine (remember when randy almost lost his life when he crashed mike's rolls?)and the performance shot was their last appearance on the show in 1979 but instead of the silver/gray space suits they had on the street clothes from the interview/talk they had with don before they went and changed into their stage clothes.


so i assume they did a run of their songs for camera blocking before taping it for real for tv. and maybe the publicity photos are from that performance.


well if you look close at the intro of the show:

"with guest stars...teena marie....
"whodini....."


you will see that ex had a pair of even MOre suspect black leather chaps on with a whole in the crotch area.

maybe don was like "uh hell no boy you aint rocking that village people shit on this show....bandstand maybe but not chea!"

lol

Yeah, that was pretty funny... on a side note, I was reminded of my crush on JoJo... probably because with the thickness and the braids and all she reminded me of my uncle's cool girlfriend at the time... whom I also had a crush on... she was BAAAAD... the perfume she wore, the hugs she gave me... whoo... lol...

*takes long drink of water*


>sheena.......that whole stare down/come fuck me,slow moving
>thing killed me back then and it killed me 2day watching her.

Word... it's funny, I was one of those cats she was talking about when she referred to the fact that her early singles might have had all of the pop a-c stuff but she also had the hot schitt on the albums as well... I remember seeing the commercials for that Cinemax "Video Album" series that they had (or whatever it was called), and it was the first time I had heard Strut... and at the time I was like, "oh, that's the Morning Train girl with the coffee and the toast and orange juice... this sounds... different than that... far different"... but NOTHING compared me for the Sugar Walls... and I mean, NOTHING, lol... and yeah, her looks helped sell that record...

... and I knew that was Bruce Hornsby on the keyboards... because I was wondering why they needed two keyboardists in the first place during Strut... I mean, they couldn't have had my man hand off either the bongos or the sax to someone? Because it looked really bad for him to be playing the bongos then stop -- as the bongos continued on -- and play the sax as the horn section...

Also, give it up for the Simmons drum pads, which made their appearance during the two Sheena songs...


>watching this ep and the ones with cheryl song made me realize
>that st was where i got my fetish 4 asian women,big booty
>white girls, and women with that come fuck me look.

lol, word... I think the foundations for a lot of the (surface-level) things we look for in a woman were laid (Heh Heh © Beavis and Butt-Head) on Soul Train

On that note, I need to know where Corvette is nowadays... was she a late addition to the group? I don't remember her from the first album...

On another side note, I went down to San Diego this past weekend (in part to drink away the blues and humiliation of having your alma mater's football team get their asses beat by a division I-A school), and I kept hearing commercials on the radio for one of those Old School Jam Fests, and one of the acts was "The Original Mary Jane Girl, JoJo"...

I'm sorry, nickfresh, but I found that Shannon song to be unlistenable... just awful... it sounded like someone did about 350 lines of coke then sat behind the control board to mix the record and laid on the Reverb and "Reverse Effect" knobs... I only heard like, 3 words clearly as the song went on...

I agree that Phil Collins' magnum opus is No Jacket Required... it's certainly his most pop-oriented album (One More Night is still a hot slow jam)... and NJR was the soundtrack to my 5th grade (and lingering LONNNNNNNNG after that...) crush at the time...

I still like Nightshift as a song... always thought it was a really well-made and classy tribute... the video, however, was pissing me off with all of the close-ups, especially in the repetitive shots of the band in front of the mirror and during the entire first verse...


>oh yeah....kudos 4 the deele's material thangz!!!

Yes! Synthesized funk at its finest...


This was a really, really good episode.

In response to Reply # 985


  

          

It makes sense for two reasons:
-Why bother having it on that early with nothing BRAND new? Cable penetration's high enough that we can catch it on WGN.
-It's there available to people clicking away from Apollo, coming home from the club, DVRing/taping, or while nothing else is potentially going on (e.g. college football, out shopping all day) that would cause them to miss it.

In response to Reply # 0
Sun Sep-02-07 04:58 AM by supablak

  

          

considering how sexy she & "Sugar Walls" were at the time...it was an odd decision to put the band on stage with her.
Why?
Cuz them dudes made Huey Lewis & the News look like Jodeci.

did you all spot Bruce "That's Just the Way it Is" Hornsby on keys for Sheena?

Just watching this episode takes me back to '85.

I think women in general were sexier then, and though society and soul train were just starting to wear it's sexuality as an accessory...we can see exactly where we've gone wrong looking back.

"The Jheri Curl Afro": accompanied by smiling, poppin' & lockin', perhaps in a tuxedo.
*inhales*
aaaaaah Black men in the '8o's...before it was mandatory to be hard 24/7 (didn't Bruce Hornsby do "End of the Innocence" too? hmmm...a little synchromysticism for everyone)

For better or for worse, '84/'85 is where R&B really started jumping the shark in my opinion (the triple threat of Prince/M.J. & Hip-Hop were seriously leaving traditional R&B out in the cold).

Considering that by and large negroes chucked most of the previous generations "Black Pride" movement, the '80's were the last big fat hurrah for the "Negro" assimilation movement.

If it wasn't about crossing over, it was about establishing a legit "Black Version" of "(White) America" that was accessible/interchangeable (careful what you wish for,huh...here we are brothers & sisters credit cards 'n errythang).

Negroes loved to politely dream about equality in the early 1980's America, didn't we (as well as trying to conjure up some exotic European ancestors to out white somebody else...remember when niggas used to say schitt like "We got french & italian in our family" This is back when being "light skindeded" was considered special)? *smh*

Don had mad cheese eyes at this point.

I've always prefered the wild pre-disco Soul Train w/ all the Alvin Ailey funk dancing and raw soul music.

Once niggas started trying to modify the shape of their afros (think the Lionel Richie "Sphinxfro"...which is basically the "Afromullet") and synth stab their way onto Mtv/BET it just all seemed to turn into a sugary/blazer w/ shoulder pads mess.

still watching these rebroadcast make me homesick.

s.blak
betcha last money









keep: looking,searching,seeking,finding

969. "RE: Jackets: Check ebay"
In response to Reply # 967


  

          

That's where I got mine. and I even lucked out and got one like that chick was wearing (which was one of the originals) down the line yesterday... but my name's not "DWIGHT."

and by the way... @@@@.
@@@@ big ones for me. This episode, with expectations low from last week and all, proved to me that everything I remember when I was one, two, three.. years old of ST was true.

Here's why:

* They actually played dub versions of jams back then. In fact, someone needs to bring back "extended versions" and "dubs" back to popular music... Besides, hearing *that* Shannon flashed me back to being like two years old. I remember on my birthday that year i was crying to the moms about not getting the cake *now* as opposed to later while that was blasting on the radio/intercom at my grandmothers' house.

* No. Jacket. Required. Phil Collins' magnum opus. glad to hear this song got play on the show. This is an example, imho, of great pop-crossover music. (it just didn't seem forced like last week's appearance of the Hall and Oates vid) Score one point for the System.

* Look how low the sign was!!... to me that was exciting... and you knew the songs were *THAT MUCH THE SHIT* when the sign flashed to the beat. (during this time, when the signs were flashing, it was just as exciting when--- during the honeycomb set-- the sign was off) The color schemes were great as well this episode... The opening was FRESH! (did you see the dancers on the stage doing the same dance... and that guy on the riser with the fire?!)

* ALEXANDER O'NEAL. and that *was* one of The Good Girls doing the scrambleboard.

* The MARY JANE GIRLS. always good to see footage on them. and to hear "Can't Stop" from Rick James again after years of not was dope (good thing it wasn't "New Attitude" lol).

* The line was full of energy featuring a song that should've recieved more play. The girl in the red spandex and Lou-ski's skit were excellent. I couldn't stop watching.

*and above all... what more can you ask for from a "tame show" like Soul Train where you can hear both artists lipsynch songs about vaginas (and they were actual hits) (and they were from feuding crews at that)?!

A much better and much needed improvement from the near trainwreck episode from last week.

(Though, I could've dealt with another video (or better yet, a history book segment) from another artist than the damned Commodores. Nightshift is the devil.)

In response to Reply # 971


  

          

this week is Jim Maddoxx. At this stage of the game of Soul Train. Sid McCoy starting directing the show, and Don decided to bring in Maddoxx (then the general manager of Stevie Wonder's KJLH radio... and one of the trailblazers of the quiet storm format) as full time announcer. The audience (US) were not feeling him and eventually by the end of the season, Sid went back to announcing and Maddoxx was taken out of the ST picture altogether.

change 1999 to Controversy and The Doc is more on that vibe. 1999 was kind of when the bandwagoning started ITDO, but really reached its apex with Purple Rain.

Exactly! The Doc remembers going back and was like "WTF?" What about "Sister", "When You Were Mine", "Head" (!!!) all on the same album?

Not to mention Purple Rain didn't have any real cussin' on it, but the albums prior definitely did.

The Doc will try and check this one out this week. LOL @ Sheena...

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

10/12/85

the intro was off the hook...even with sid not doing the intro

this took me back 2 a time when a certain dance was taking the city over...1985 was the snake!

five star...now that took me back.
let me be the one (esp the philly mix) was my JAM!!!
remember when the one dude on the band was a mj wannabe??
d was killing me when he said he figured he was a prince fan.
ever wanted 2 know what happened 2 them?
(not a happy ending if u wanted 2 bet ur last money honey)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVZ_MMM2KhY


not even going 2 speak on dire straits being the video pick....the need 2 "crossover" in 1985 was affecting the train AND black music big time

what was up with that editing 4 sheila's performance of sister fate?
her performance was hot!!
this took me back 2 when that "rumour" was "created" about her and p
the prince mystery was at an all time peak in 1985
and the rolling stone interview was a big thing...i remember wanting 2 hear old friends 4 sale sooooo bad after reading that mag
it also turned me on2 joni at age 10..
d was hilarious and sincere interviewing her...love it when he is "on"
a love bizarre is one funky ass song (especially the album and the version with her, p, and the revolution live)

996. "The dopest opening to an episode I remember"
In response to Reply # 0


          

This episode had purple all over it. From The Dance Electric to Pop Life, I remember seeing this episode and memorizing every move to Sheila's ALB routine.

Sheila was/is and always will be my favorite Prince drummer. Sure, P has had louder and technically more proficient drummers (Bland & Blackwell) but no other trap player mirrored Prince's own playing and locked into him and his music like Ms. Escovedo. They sound damn near identical on the kit. The criminally underrated Bobby Z. also has this distinction. I then and still do have a soft spot for that woman.

Anyone who has the poster sold on the Lovesexy tour understands why (I think I hit puberty early once it was placed over my headboard.)

1001. "Sorry to correct everyone, but.."
In response to Reply # 1000


  

          

Carl McIntosh and Loose Ends did not write nor did they produce "Let Me Be The One."

Ian Foster brought the lyrics and Nick Martinelli (who often worked with LE) produced it. fucwhatcharead on wikipedia. (Not to mention, on that Philly Mix of LMBTO, Grover Washington, Jr. was the uncredited saxophonist. That was answered by him when he came down to my town back in '97. RIP.)

I always thought 52nd Street's "Tell Me How It Feels" was the grown-up sequel of LMBTO which also was produced by Nick Martinelli and David Todd. A serious shame how MCA and 10 records shot the group down when it came to making a video for the jam....

i can't remember exactly, but it's written plain as day on the back of the album. i think they either sang background or arranged vocals.

either way

1012. "I stand corrected."
In response to Reply # 1009


  

          

Reading my 12'' label for LMBTO...

Loose Ends did in fact arrange the vocals. I did know that they didn't produce nor write it right off hand! Though, I know they wrote and produced and arranged another single off of that LP (RSVP).

But their productions, while they sounded similar, did not have the out and out smoothness of a Martinelli/Todd production. Case in point: Check out Joanna Gardner's "Pick Up The Pieces" or Juliet Roberts "Ain't You Had Enough Love Baby" The majority of LE records had the upper hand, though, because of having Jane Eugene on background.

999. "The Dire Straits video seemed very out of place, and yet..."
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

...also timely, considering what MTV has become in the last 10 years. I don't know if anyone noticed, but in the video for "Money For Nothing" there was a crotch shot (during the "Hawaiian noises" verse) that was edited on MTV. Amazing what got censored in 1985.

But the show. Damn, lot of white women in this episode, and some of the songs were perfect "Carlton" material. The crowd really got into it when they played Andre Cymone's "The Dance Electric".

You know, mullets never looked good on anyone, but they were hot on Sheila E, weren't they? I still liked "The Glamorous Life", "Kookoo" and "Sex Cymbal" looks, but that mullet... the "Krush Groove" look, she was one of the few who made that 'do look nice. Madonna may have worn the lace, but it looked much better on Sheila E.

Five Star, man they had the moves down.

Overall an okay show.

1003. "@@@ 1/2 (Major Spoiler)"
In response to Reply # 0
Sun Sep-09-07 01:22 AM by nickfresh

  

          

@@@ 1/2

I would like to apologize in advance for the long reply. I'd also like to thank you Quest for one of the most vivid ST stories ever. It reminded me of my childhood. One of my punishments for fucking up in school was being grounded from watching/recording Soul Train for two months!!

But I digress... Here we go:

The Soul Train Awards in '87 had a montage that featured some of the memorable artists that were on the show up until that point. It had to go on for at least 5 minutes and then there was a point where there were more artists being swept up in digital boxes all the while there was a mirror image of dancemaster Reggie Thornton going down the Soul Train Line.

Ever since I saw that clip (they used an abridged version of it at the Black American Achievement Awards in '94 while honoring Don C.), I was trying my damndest to see when that episode aired and if I could ever get my hands on it!!

Flash forward to mid '05. A source of mine had a copy of the Go West/Rosie Gaines episode (which also happened to be the season 15 premiere) and sure enough... I noticed Reggie wearing the same fringy blue outfit he did on today's BOST line. That was a major. MAJOR. breakthrough. However, that episode's line was not it (they actually used "Dance Electric."). and I yearned to see which episode that line landed on.

So imagine my surprise today when I see Reggie doing that dance down the line on today's episode!! That line alone boosted my whole rating of this show and actually was the first time (for me anyway) seeing "Party All The Time" be represented well! Like if PATT was a single right now, I probably would've bought it on the strength of this line. That and the LIGHTING of this line.. AH LORD! If only they used that scheme for the rest of the time of this set.

Other Highlights:

FIVE STAR! I have always been fans of them... my love goes back to them back to like 1986.87... my older brother was a fan and they used to play the "Crazy" video to death on BET. (not to mention, I have a mean love for The Philly Mix of Let Me Be The One as my mother played the hell out of it when it was hot). I LOVE THEM! AHHH!

POP LIFE! Though used for the station id break... seeing Nieci doing the snake on the riser to it made my day!! I <3 you Nieci! I'm with most of you who are down with that slapbass line. I <3 great basswork! Really, that song never seems to get old.

ARETHA! no, not "Freeway Of Love" (more on that later), but she was the tall dark woman with the short hair (in the blue dress and white bra) that worked the tower riser and went down the line kicking her long leg up (which was her signature move). She was also the lady in the white diaper dress on the '83 Jennifer Holliday/Klique episode. She never got her props (she danced on the show from 77-85), but she seemed to enjoy dancing as she was one of the most memorable and hyped up dancers on the show during this period.

I was told by one of our esteemed dancer alumni members (and i hope they don't mind me saying this) she was NOT allowed back on the show when she returned in '86... and was actually forced from the set (all the while she was in tears) by a certain dance coordinator. WHY?! Aretha was one of the best and craziest dancers (not to mention fine as hell) on Soul Train during the time where ST was trying their damndest to crossover. ARETHA, wherever you are... I SALUTE YOU! TAKE YOUR BOW, DAMMIT.

SHEILA E.! what more can be said about this fine talented woman? Finally good to see "Love Bizarre" performed with the hot dance moves and all. I also wasn't feeling the editing of "Sister Fate," I remember this story that was associated with this performance (and that may be why it was edited), but since i feel like i'm going a bit long with this... i'll save it for another time. wink.gif

THE GROUP DANCE INTRO!!! I posted a clip of this from the afformentioned season premiere on Youtube a few years back. It's particularly awesome when you get a chance to see ALL of the dancers on the soundstage doing the same dance. It made me forget all about that LAME-O announcer. smile.gif

THE LINE!!! Mentioned earlier, but 2/3 of the Good Girls and the guys oogling over them once the shades and berets came off was awesome. other standouts: Crystal McCarey (hot red tutu)... Manny Reed and Ricky Carson... Aretha... Tom Evans (white suit jacket and white mirrored shades)... and SONG!

BUT. there were downsides to this episode:

* the inclusion of Part-Time Lover (Stevie's worst vocal track, EVER (imho) and Luther worked with him on that one?!), Eaten Alive (The song sucked, but the video was DOPE), and Money For Nothing (ironic how MTV sucks now, but was revered and well requested back then...Dire Straits even called it on eMpTytV back then... (they trashed the whole video/image thing, read the rest of the lyrics!!) ).

* Jim Maddoxx (no soul at all but then again.. you don't really notice him...)

* SHOULDER PADS... I know it was fashion, but it was quite distracting seeing all of these ladies looking like fine ass linebackers.

* and..That Corny guy after Crystal down the line... c'mon dude. To quote Little Brother: "Join a sorority, go step your game up!"


once again @@@ 1/2 stars! can't wait for next week!

1010. "is this the Love Bizarre episode?"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

if so, this is one of the few episodes i can actually remember watching when it first aired.

i remember my mom saying something about liking saxophones, so in my quest to get her to not hate prince or anything he was involved with, i called her into the room to watch Sheila do "Love Bizarre" which had Eddie M on saxophone.

Could I please get a re-up?

Thanks!

1018. "But will this lip-synch be as funny as the dude doing Prince's parts"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

on A Love Bizarre from last week? (Hot episode, btw... I didn't have a real chance to sit down and weigh in on it but I liked it a great deal... the intro dance routine in particular was cool to watch)

Also, thank you for making a brother hungry for some Roscoes... soon as I return this book to the library, I'm making a beeline for Sunset and Gower (for those who care, I live closer to that location than to the "real" Roscoes on Pico)...


>i remember not understanding the idea of "singing someone else's parts" lypsynching on a show (some tall light skinned dude singing Alexander Oneal's as libs---and by the way i believe this very band was super miffed that he was involved in this record---i think Jam and Lewis added him last minute)--but i shoulda been used to anything once i saw one of the dudes in The Spinners sing the female "nowhere to go..." part of "Games People Play" on this very show.

If there is anyone who can share with me how to upload the BofST episodes I've burned on DVD for people to download, I'd greatly appreciate it. I know it's a lot of pressure on Meechele to be the one expected to re-up all the dead links and I'd like to help share the burden.

I have all 40 BofST episodes that have aired up to this point. I would also like to upload some classic performances that haven't aired yet that I have in my collection.

Missed all of SOS Band, and whatever Jermaine's second song was. But didn't miss Sugar Free, so I'm not too hot now.

I might have to start back taping again.

Edit here to keep from bloating the post: It paid for Jam and Lewis to be fired. They flourished from that point, and The Time did not.

And this ep really demonstrated how thick the androgyny was back in the 80s. That ain't EVEN going down these days.

1029. "@@@1/2 w/bonus ?uest-esque story"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

flyte time owned 1986!!!!!!!

i love it when the audience is in2 the performance.

didnt know the dude from champagne did a solo joint. it was a little late 2 cash in on that lionel $$. by this time didnt all of the r&b bands lose their lead singer minus larry blackman and a few others?

jermaine stewart. although i loved the word is out and jody better, this song was catchy. it's funny, when i was a kid, there were certain people that i thought were 'different'. jermaine was one of them.something about that dude.

juicy was juicy. i loves me some sugar free!!

now my story:
as a kid, i always made my parents take me 2 concerts. by the time i was 5, i saw the jacksons,heatwave, natalie cole, sister sledge, rick james, and ewf just 2 name a few. there was this 'jazz' festival held in cincy ohio every summer (the kool jazz fest). in 1986, my parents took me and my sister 2 the fest. as an 11 year old kid, there wasn't much 2 do. so i roamed around the hotel. as i roamed, i noticed members of the sos band. the one that stood out was michelle, the white girl.yes she was as fine as she was on the train. i remember seeing her in the borrowed love video. so while i was peeking around corners like some inch high private eye, moms caught me with a "boy what u doing". i explained 2 her that's the sos band. my moms, being the bold lady she is, went up 2 them and asked them flat out "r u the sos band? my crazy son thinks u r". sure enough, they 'fessed up and i got 2 hang out with them 4 the rest of the day. they were cool peeps. sands of time was one of my favorites at the time and i kept asking them questions about jam and lewis. mary lewis (along with tawatha agee and lisa keith)is one of my greatest female singers of all time. i always thought the finest was an alex/cherrelle song that they gave 2 sos.

overall this was a good show. nothing really great, nothing bad either.

hopefully we will get 2 c some early eps.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

along with last week's ep...this sums up 1986 4 me as far as black music

1986,black folks can remember where they were and what they were doing when
1)word up came out...summer of 1986..it was hard 2 beleive that cameo re-created themselves in 1985..but NO ONE saw the word up phenomenon...along with the new haircut that wiped away the jheri curl (the cameo)
2)raising hell...need i say more? what a game changer...interesting pick of songs but who gave a shit..they were run dmc...c how rap has taken over by 1986 in the black community?

don looked zooted as all get up

i love me some rosie and all but i was getting sick of her playing hte role of camera ho. it annoys me when my porno stars look in the camera so.....

that all changed when the jets' private # came on (good pick btw)4 the line
rosaaaaaaaaay whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she aint no cheryl though. hahahah
lol at dmc and hurricane going down the line

proud 2 b black...was that one of the first pro-black raps?
i think it was..hey it was 4 an 11 year old
who would have known that less than a year...i'd be trying 2 joing the noi because of PE.
ahh the good ol' days

man i aint no slave i aint bailing no hay

I give this episode @@@@ also.


Of course RUN DMC was slammin... and so was Nu Shooz startin off the show (Not to mention, Private Number was on the Myspace for a minute... that's my jam! That line was so hype.)

But it mainly had everything to do with the appearance of Genobia Jeter.

I never have heard her gospel records, but back when i was in 8th grade (1998 for me, lol), when i was digging through the garage in my parents' collection, I found her '86 LP. It has been in my room ever since then.

Her voice was so serious. A female Glenn Jones (and btw, that's her husband... They even came out with a duet which is on her LP called "Together"-- the video was on youtube at one point..). When I heard "All Of My Love" for the first time, I was hooked (Not to mention, Me'lisa Morgan is on the background vox) because her delivery was so on point.

Now that I know of her background, Methinks if she was actually singing to a guy or was she actually singing about the Lord? (Props to LaLa and Me'Lisa Morgan on the lyrics)

Props to Reginald Thornton in his Omega Psi Phi gear. lol Y'all catch his atomic dog-esque dance at the end of the show? Classic.

and the Midas Touch segment may've been the hypest segment i've heard on Soul Train post 84.

LOL @ Don C. bring up the one role Dick Anthony Williams wanted everyone to forget in '86: The Role we all remember him in: PRETTY TONY in "The Mack." Look at ese's face when Don mentions that, hahah.

and while I enjoy WORD UP, i dunno, since I know better, i just never was a serious fan of the song.... now, play ATTACK ME WITH YOUR LOVE and it's a wrap...


overall... @@@@
and Last week's episode was also @@@@.

Never throw toilet paper on a bear.

Thanks meechelle ! The sound on this file seems less "stereo" than your other files. Seems more mono. Do you notice this? Can you make the sound more "stereo?"

for a guest as they were for Run-D.M.C.

That was AMAZING (both performances)

Hurricane saying his name then returning immediately to the B-Boy stance was HILARIOUS

Good songs this week as well (I had never heard the Jermaine Stewart "Jody" song, and didn't realize it was about Jody Watley until I looked it up)

Anyway, I loved all the shots of Rosie, particularly the one where she was doing the line and very audibly says, "Come On"... when she did that, I caught myself silently mouthing the words, "Here I come, Rosie" lol...

And it seems to me that Genobia Jeter's songs (at least lyrically) were the precurors to cats like BeBe and CeCe Winans and Fred Hammond (and later Kirk Franklin), where the lyrics could be either be interpreted as religious, God-praising verses or lyrics to a significant other/inspirational words to a friend or family member... good stuff...

And yeah, as revolution pointed out, I did notice the little cringe Dick Anthony Williams gave when Don pointed out Pretty Toney in The Mack... I certainly hope he isn't ashamed of that role today...

In any event, I liked this episode a great deal
