Looks like they're staying in the 80s for awhile.I remember seeing the episode with Evelyn Champagne King back in the summer of '82.I also recall seeing the Donna Summer episode.She sings "Supernatural Love",which is a very weak song,but she redeems herself with the second song: the superior "I'm Free". | |

Wooooo, of course I saw it. This was my favorite episode of the "old skool" so far. Rick James was the freakin' man. At the end of his performance of "Big Time", the audience was so hyped, I didn't think they were going to stop. Rick was chanting, "PARTY OVER HERE, PARTY OVER THERE", and the crowd was all into it.
The SOS band knocked it out as well. That music was sounding so good to me, I've watched it several times since Saturday. My goodness I miss old skool funk. ***Please know one jump on me for this **** Did anyone else notice a similarity in "character" in the Rick James interview and that of Morris Day? There have been rumors over the years that Prince "borrowed" ideas and concepts from Rick James. After watching Soul Train this weekend, I wondered if Morris' character, which some say was created by Prince, was actually "borrowed" from Rick James. Of course Rick was high, and I'm not suggesting Morris and Rick are carbon copies, but the similarities were noticeable in my eyes. Just my opinion. I am convinced Beyonce's career would not be where it is, if she had dark skin. | |

What do you guys think he was on? also my husband seemed to think Don Cornelius was on Qualudes. Anyone else think this is true? He does seem rather mellow all the time. He also seemed nervous about Rick being there and also announce the members of his band. Don wanted to do it! | |

I remember seeing Rick performing this when it originally aired. Granted, The Time hadn't even come out yet. I taped this Saturday and yeah, I noticed what you're saying. Loved Rick. Rick was THE MAN back in the early 80's. Dug the SHIT out of Cameo's performance as well. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

I hope Vainandy got to see this episode. The only way I would have missed it is if the electricity had gone off. Rick turned the motherfucker out! I have never seen the "Soul Train" audience so hyped up. Don Cornelius was actually losing control of his show to Rick. ....."Party over here! Party right there!".....They continued that for a while after the music stopped and it took Don a while to wade through the audience to the stage. Then Rick said "Whatchu want us to do with the funk" and audience said "Fire it up!!!!!" He aked them again and Don said "Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it again!". The SOS Band was great too. I remember when that episode first aired and the SOS Band introduced themselves with their "titles". They and Lakeside had that same "ship" theme that year except they were sailors and Lakeside was pirates. As usual, the records played for the dancers were great too. However, that's the only time I've ever seen a slow song played for the dancers. I'm glad they never made a habit of that. . . [Edited 2/12/07 14:22pm] Andy is a four letter word. | |

Not many people in the "Music: Non-Prince" section will jump on you for that observation. However, over in the "Prince: Music and More" section, some of those kool-aid drinkers would burn you at the stake for saying that. Andy is a four letter word. | |

They need to show the episode with Cameo doing "Freaky Dancing" and they also need to episode with Skyy doing "Call Me" with the telephones and The Barkays episode from the 1980s also. Andy is a four letter word. | |

You know what song they could have played instead? One of these two: "Peanut Butter" by Lenny White and twennynine "Funkin For Jamaica" by Tom Browne As I recall,both of these songs were out in the fall of 1980,around the same time as "Wide Receiver" Damn,we may have to start a thread about the year 1980,lol | |

You sure about that? I could have sworn that "Shake Your Pants" was out in the fall of 1980 too.I think "Keep It Hot" was early 1981? | |

You sure about that? I could have sworn that "Shake Your Pants" was out in the fall of 1980 too.I think "Keep It Hot" was early 1981? Cameo had two albums out in 1980, "Cameosis" and "Feel Me". I remember when I started the eighth grade in the fall of 1980, "Keep It Hot" was all over the radio. By the end of the school year in either April or May of 1981, the single "Freaky Dancing" dropped right before the album "Knights of the Sound Table" came out. The single, "Give It To Me Baby" by Rick James had just come out also but the album wasn't out yet. I remember hearing "Shake Your Pants" the year before in the seventh grade in the middle of jams like "Backstrokin" by Fatback, "Fire It Up" by Rick James, "Push Push" by Brick, "Bounce Rock Skate Roll" by Vaughan Mason and Crew, "Funkytown" by Lipps Inc., etc. Groups didn't mess around when it came to releasing new albums back then. If a song was popular at the beginning of the school year, it was on it's way to being out of style by Christmas, the artists were unheard of for a few months and people were awaiting a new album the following fall. Some groups did two albums a year every blue moon. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Some groups did two albums a year every blue moon. Yeah,remember the days when artists and bands used to come out with new albums every six months or so? That's how it seemed back then.You never had to wait too long for new music from your favorite artists.In the disco era,Donna Summer had a new single every few months...lol...it was crazy! I remember hearing "Last Dance" in the June of 1978.A few months later,"MacArthur Park" was on the all the radio stations.Then in early 1979,"Heaven Knows" was released as a single.About two months later,"Hot Stuff" was placed in heavy rotation.By summer,"Bad Girls" was dominating the airwaves,followed by "Dim All The Lights".By fall,two more singles came out: "Enough Is Enough" with Barbra Streisand,and "On The Radio".I think those two songs were released simultaneously,cause I heard them both on the radio at around the exact same time.Nowadays,artists take five years to do an album.Go figure. | |
