Yes, that guy's name is Myron. And that dance he always does was a very popular dance at one time in the 80's called "The Shake". The harder and faster it could be done, the better.

Are you talking about the first guy that came down the Soul Train line during Prince's "1999" that did all that shaking from side to side? We used to laugh like hell at him back in the day. My grandmother was watching the show with me one time and saw him do all that shaking. She said he looked like he was trying to shake hot ashes off his body. You gotta love old people because they can talk some funny shit.

Minneapolis of all places should have showed it since Vanity 6 was a Prince protegee act. That station up there truly needs it's ass beat.

I feel bad for you This was one of the best episodes that I've seen!

vainandy said:

you naughty boy

So who's gonna be on Soul Train this weekend? Anybody have the schedule for the next few weeks?

SoulAlive said:

according to tvguide.com, this weekend's episode has freddie jackson, lace and whodini.

Look again, that's next weekend. I checked tvguide.com and saw that also. Then I went and checked WGN's website and I see tragedy has struck. The episode they were originally going to air with The Dazz Band and Run DMC for this weekend has been replaced with a damn St. Patrick's Day Parade. Fuck a damn St. Patrick's Day Parade! At 11:30 that night, the Soul Train Music Awards will air on WGN. Fuck that too!

Anyway, I checked the TV Listings at Yahoo so I could check the our local station that airs Soul Train at 11:30 p.m. on Saturdays. They still have Soul Train scheduled for this Saturday night with The Dazz Band and Run DMC. I wonder if that is incorrect because I can't see us here in little ole Jackson, Mississippi getting Soul Train this weekend and no one else getting it.

Anyway, the episode for next weekend, they can keep. That's definately late 1980s and Freddie Jackson is one of the ones that helped slow down and fuck up R&B to where there would eventually be nothing fast enough for a dance show like Soul Train.

Hell, it might be possibly three weeks before they air another good episode. Ain't this a bitch!!!!

Yeah, Carl was the inspiration for Soul Glow! Somebody should have brought my man a towell or something. So he could have wiped off his forehead.But that shit was accurate. Hell, I had several Jheri Curls and Worlds of Curls products should have made me their spokesman, shit. But, I was always aware of not having the "wet fo' head" look. That shit was just not happening. Plenty of sistas was sporting it too. For some reason, I never dug that look on a girl. I always dug the blow dried look myself. Ola Ray was the only one that I dug that had a curl. Vanity was poised as fuck though. I dug how when Don said that if anyone needed to get in touch with them, they know where to find them. And then Vanity, very savvy like and quick witted, said "777-9311". U talking about a plug! That was cool. And yeah Spyz, I'm waiting on Bootsy too.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Damn,they need to go back to the 70s!! How come they haven't shown any episodes from the disco era (1977,1978,1979)??! That's what I really want to see.

I do like Lace's hit "My Love Is Deep" but I agree with Vainandy,they can keep this episode.

Ola Ray!!!! LOL..Now that's a blast from the past B! Yeah she rocked the S-curl real good. Olivia from "Miami Vice" wore it well too.

since we're talking about jeri curls....who remembers the Bronner Brothers? I recall seeing them in the ads in Ebony magazine.I guess they sold hair products?

That had a song in 1984 that was decent called "Self Conscience". That had an absolute JAM in 1986 called "That's It (Don't Stop)"....especially the 12 Inch.

I didn't know they made records too I thought they were strictly models for the hair products,lol

That's what I'm waiting on also....an episode from the disco era.

Hell yeah, they can keep that one.

Naw Bruh, it was Big Booty Trudy, and boy did she. She actually was/is married to the guy who played Rock's younger Brother on the show "Rock". He was last seen on the WB/CW show called "The Game" as the coach.

With regard to Soul Train, I keep hearing everyone mention the espisode with Bootsy Collins, what made that espisode so great? I don't recall seeing it, did something happen, or is it because Bootsy is such a bad brotha?

Hell yeah! That's what I want to see as well. For the music and the visuals. Like u David, I also love that period. I'll take it back a bit to 75-79. But yeah, that period was super magical. Magic was everywhere. It was that thick. That's why u don't see people look like that anymore. I'm not talking about the clothes or the hair. I'm talking about the look in people's faces. In their eyes. In their soul. Very rarely do u see that.

Thanks Aud! I remember the "Miami Vice" episode she did with Pam Grier as her sister..(damn!!)..The Bonner Bros..(lol)..I remember them.

I never saw the episode w/ Bootsy back in the day. I was surprised to hear that he was even on the show considering he was a huge star back then.

That's the drugs you were seeing. Remember, the disco era was a party time for anything goes.

Dig, I actually got to met Olivia back in 90. My band at that time, Amalgam, was one of the bands playing at this Black Rock Coalition fest that was a tribute to Hendrix at the Music Machine out here in So.Cal. My band along with Tori Ruffin, who had Civil Rite, were there along with Billy Bass Nelson and some other bands. Anyway, Olivia was the host of the festival. Man, as fine as she was that night, she was just as cool. It was such a turn on cuz she knew her music and was so easy going.

vainandy said:

Nah Vain, I'm not talking about the drugs! lol. I'm talking about an innoccent look. It's kinda hard to explain.

Them motherfuckers weren't innocent. They were having orgies every night back then.

vainandy said:

Damn Vain! I'm talking about everybody; grade school kids on up. Trust me, you, me and David are basically around the same age. We grew up in the same period. When we were in grade school, there was no orgies going on. I had plenty of make-out sessions and shit but that was about it. I'm talking grade school. Shit got different when I hit Jr. High!

OK. I thought you were talking about those grown folks on "Soul Train" if they showed an episode from the disco era. Hell, I bet even the Asian girl was having trains run on her back then.
