I thought today's show was great! I have been recording the episodes from my ABC affiliate, that airs Soul Train at 1:00 a.m. Apparently they had a problem with their feed, because after the first 35 minutes, they abruptly aired a commercial and picked up the remainder of the show with an episode from last season. Then when it was time for the credits, they showed the ending of last week's Donna Summer episode. It was a crazy mess! Glad I could get the last half from WGN.

Looks like the 3-17 episode will be from June 1984 with the Dazz Band & Run D.M.C.

In case anyone was concerned, as I type, this episode is airing on NY's WPIX (3 am Sat. night/Sun morn) despite what someone else said in another thread about the station dropping it.

I just noticed Jeffrey dancing to That's The Way I Like It, before he turned around to reveal his name on the back of his red sweater.

about to watch it on tape!!!

still waiting for the Bootsy's Rubber Band performance

Just watched it - brings back so many memories

It also brought back memories of the HUGE crush I had on the Sylvers girls, especially the youngest one

This episode just made me think about how the Jacksons popularized the trend for family bands. The Sylvers were fun to watch perform, so many of them to see! I'm tryin' to think of the last family band in R&B before the trend started to fizzle out . . . .DeBarge maybe?

I watched the show and got angry. My generation has screwed things up! If you watch current Soul Train, it's pathetic. There's no dancing and the music is horrible.

forgot about them

I hear ya!

it sucked that both performances weren't live...i would've loved to see billy preston play sans lip-synching, man. the sylvers were pretty decent too...it was funny, don was talking to foster like, "so you're 13 now?" the brotha looked like he was about 9 or 10 instead.

when that south shore commission joint came on i was groovin...i love "we're on the right track".

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Yeah,I like that song too I'm gonna have to hunt for that album!

We're On The Right Track - South Shore Commision

one of my favorite all time records that and "Free man" are my all time classics
i believe if memory serves me south shore comission were on either Wand or Janus..

theAudience said:

Oh no, why did you have to go and do that? You just took me back.... The Sylvers? I forgot all about them...and Freda Payne? Oh yes, the classics!

theAudience said:

...and I found it by error..I swear when I saw that clip of her, automatically I thought about her first role in Spike Lee's movie. He discovered her at some dance contest at a club, or so the story goes, but you'd be amazed at who you find in some of these soul train clips, I believe "Shabadoo" the famous dancer who did "Lock" dancing during the break dancing days was in one of those clips too. But I have to say the clothes worn during those days like the bell bottoms, clonky and wedgy shoes, hot pants, balloon pants, the super-fly pimp outfits are hilarious, but at the same time ya gotta love it!

"free man" i haven't heard in a minute...

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

well, you might again because im snatchin alot of my records back from NY on thursday, and when we come back, i'll most likely put something new up.

yuuuuup

IAintTheOne said:

yeah that was a gem from way back. funny soul train of the seventies I thought had a lot of funky groups on there. it would be nice to see them get to those episodes.
Does anyone remember those songs that billy preston did? has anyone spotted a celeb besides vivica fox on soul train?. the sylvers were awsome. their steps were on point.

SoulAlive said:

i though that was them. i would have liked to see a close up on them getting down!

This episode was excellent. I really was feeling that James Brown track Super Bad, Super Slick.

Did anyone notice how high Billy Preston was? Man, he was playing with his nose like crazy. Cocaine really does kill.

daPrettyman said:

i was noticing his hairdo more than his nose-twiddling. seriously, his 'do was like barry white-lite.
