So who watched 'The Best Of Soul Train' this weekend? The Average White Band were great,but I could never get into The Undisputed Truth  Their performance was awful! The highlight of this episode was the line dance segment with "I Love Music" by the Ojays.
Next week: a 1980 episode featuring Rick James and The SOS Band!!  | |

Next week: a 1980 episode featuring Rick James and The SOS Band!! Remember that dude who did the crazy head shake? I'm sure he ended up with a concussion! The Undispute Truth were out there! I read up on them a bit after watching that, and Taka Boom would later join them. | |

Yeah, I kinda scratched my head when he said Norm Whitfield produced them. | |

oh HELL no. It had apparently been there for about 20 years when she died, in a steamer trunk full of baking soda. I can't remember the exact quote, but there was a note in there that said, "This poor unfortunate soul broke into my apartment and I was forced to shoot him." | |

I did, I loved it. Average White Band was cool. You can watch it on Soultrain.com..I believe that was the internet address. Undisputed Truth was more like a George Clintion P-Funk copy, but they are classic, what can I say.
I had a great time checking out the 70s fashions and the big afros, a fashion era that stands out by itself. | |

They went way back with that episode. Besides The Average White Band and The O'Jay's "I Love Music", I don't think I've heard any of those songs they played. They were decent though and sure as hell better than those late 80s episodes.
I thought The Undisputed Truth had a great look. They were wild as hell and I don't like a damn thing normal.
