This what I see for next week:

"Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. sing "Shine On Silver Moon" and "You Got the Love"; and Lakeside does "A Shot of Love" and "It's All the Way Live."

Next week will be Lakeside. That one should be pretty good. However, I just checked the TV Guide website and it does not look good. Next week is listed as "Best Of" and has a clickable link. The week after that is simply listed as "Soul Train" and you cannot click on it. If they are going back to new episodes of the "Shit Hop Train", I hope their ratings drop so low the show gets cancelled.

Not bad.Lakeside is always fun to see."It's All The Way Live" is my favorite Lakeside jam.I like Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. too,but I wish they were singing their signature hit "You Don't Have To Be A Star (To Be In My Show)".

So was I SoulAlive, May 17,1979, maybe that's why I love that funk music so much

I WANT TO SEE THE ONE THAT AIRED NOVEMBER OF 1988. SHEENA EASTON SANG "THE LOVER IN ME" & "NO DEPOSIT, NO RETURN". SWEET OBSESSION ALSO APPEARED SINGING THEIR JAM OF THE DAY "I'M GONNA GET OVER YOU". LOVE IT.

I wish they would release each season on DVD with all the episodes. I'd love to have all the episodes from around 1978-1984.

vainandy, you finally get your 1979 episode airing on the 26th:

Gino Vanelli / Gloria Gaynor (17 March 1979)

I could care less if I ever hear "I Will Survive" again. However, I would love to see her do "Anybody Wanna Party" and hopefull she will do that one as her second song.

The name Gino Vanelli sounds familiar but I can't remember what he sang.

vainandy said:

Gino Vanelli sings "I Just Wanna Stop",a wonderful slow jam

I just wanna stop
and tell you what I feel about you babe
I just wanna stop
the world ain't right without you babe
I just wanna stop....for your love

and yes,I hope Gloria Gaynor sings "Anybody Wanna Party",that's my favorite song by her

so these episodes just show various performances from that season? Nothing wrong with that it's a cool line-up

DadeCounty305 said:

that's gonna be a great show and it's from March 1979,so they have alot of cool jams to play:

"We Are Family" by Sister Sledge
"Disco Nights" by GQ
for the line dance,they could use "It's A Disco Night" by Isley Brothers

I hope so dude. 79 was actually a year I been waiting to see as well, so I'm hoping that shit comes out tight compared to some of the previous weeks episodes. Even that Freda Payne/Atlantic Starr episode looked good on paper.

DadeCounty305 said:

Yeah I gotta admit,some of those recent 1978 episodes weren't very good.That era was AMAZING but those epiodes don't really reflect that.Don is holding out on the truly good stuff! I mean,come on.....Freda Payne?? There were better performers from that era that could have been shown!
