Soul Train (1971)
Loved 80's Soul Train
I lived in Seoul, South Korea back in the early 80's and used to watch ST on American Forces Korea Network on Saturdays in the late afternoon, while getting ready to step out to the clubs.
There were great dancers back then that I'd steal a move from while watching the show, and I believe they were what made ST so special. There were a lot of unique dance styles and personalities among the dancers, and they became almost as known as the guest artists. I didn't know their names back then, but learned of them decades later on the internet. There was Cheryl Song, Niece Payne, Sheila Lewis, Rosie Perez, Sally Achenbach, Myron Montgomery, Big Louie Carr, Tom Evans, Derek Fleming, Marco De Santiago, Dina Rivera, Odis Medley and so many other great dancers.
My memories of Soul Train will always be with me. Thank you, Mr. Don Cornelius and may you rest in peace.
