I saw a clip of that once on one the the "Soul Train" anniversary shows. I would love to see it in it's entirety.



I have these weird documentaries on the Lockers and the Electric Boogaloo Lockers. It was actually the Electric Boogaloo Lockers that were popping to Sexy Dancer. Fred "Rerun" Berry, was in the original Lockers in the early 70's with Toni Basil.

This is a funny thread, title and all. I wish I could have seen the old performances. I was born in 82.
Shake....shake, shake, shake.

Well, it was memorable in that it sucked. I guess that's something.


It was pretty lame. I did like it when he did a stage dive during "Now." That was kinda cool.

Otherwise, big thumbs down, esp. the Nona Gaye thing. Pretty dumb. Nobody was into the performances, except maybe Mayte.


that was so FAKE... thoes were all his staff... notice how they caught him and held him up so others could not reach him?

and i do not think he was on Soul Train in 1980 either... AB and Mid Exp... and then SNL in 91 and Solid Gold (for sure) in 82/83... but i think 94 was his first time on ST (i would go check my tapes but MEH i am too lazy)

SHE WAS TOTALLY IN THE LOCKERS PER SE. THE DOCUMENTARY WAS INTERVIEWING DON CAMPBELL. FROM 74-75. SHE FOLLOWED HIM, MET HIM PAID HIM TO TEACH HER DANCE MOVES, & SHE BECAME HIS GIRLFRIEND. SHE DANCED ON TOUR WITH THEM, SHE MANAGED THEIR STAGING WHEN THEY STARTED DOING TV SHOWS. SHE WAS IN THE LINEUP WITH FRED BERRY AND SHABBA DOO. THEY APPEARED ON JOHNNY CARSON, SOME KIDS SATURDAY MORNING SHOW, SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, AND A SCHLITZ MALT LIQUOR COMMERCIAL. I HAVE THE FOOTAGE.

I clicked on there too, but he was on there shortly after American Bandstand. I have the VH1 tape of P on American Bandstand and I also have his performance on the Midnight Special. Don't have the one on Soul Train, but Dave, he was on there in 80.

I remember Don Cornelius telling Vanity 6, when they appeared on there, that if Prince ever performs on Soul Train, he's gonna get interview.."Tell him that for me"...unquote..

When 1999 came out, Prince had stop doing interviews....

I really don't believe he performed on Soul Train until the 90's...

Just Vanity 6 (Once) & The Time (Three) performed in the 80's era...

Remember, Prince was looking for that cross-over audience instead of a cult following....

And 'Little Red Corvette ' just became a cross-over smash at that time...

That's why he made those two Solid Gold appearances...

Because that was a mainstream show...

Even tho' 'Train' had a few white performers on there, it was still consider a 'Black' dance show....



Yeah,I really think that Prince only made one appearance on Soul Train,and that was in 1994.Whenever one of his proteges appeared on the show in the 80s (like Vanity and Sheila E),Don Cornelius would mention that he can't get Prince to appear on the show (lol).In 1985,he told Sheila E. something like "I know Prince doesn't do interviews,but tell him that if he appears on this show,I'm gonna interview him"...lol...
