It was very disco-ish today

That was a long intro for Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr.

Notice Billy dropped his mic before the performance??

Lakeside were GREAT

Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. were...


overall,a cool episode but I still think there are better episodes from this period.This was 1978...where is Rose Royce,Ray Parker Jr.and Raydio,Natalie Cole,The Brothers Johnson,Teddy Pendergrass,Chic,A Taste Of Honey,etc? These are the acts who were ON FIRE during that time!!

Yeah,I noticed that long intro,too They didn't start singing until 2 minutes after the song began,lol.

speaking of bloopers...did you see that lady during the line dance? Her skirt almost came off!

Yeah, Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr's performance was quite boring.

dang!!

Didn't catch that one

funkpill said:

She smiled and tried to play it off It was funny

This was one of the better episodes simply because the music was better & the dancing was off the chain. did anyone notice Jeffrey Daniels in the Soul Train line? Why are the men so much dancers on this show than the women?????

Second episode in a row I missed; i'll have to try to catch this one in the early a.m. on monday. I really wanna see them Lakeside performances. I think I already knew what to expect with Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr.

Thanks Audience...I hope it still comes on where I live. For some reason it wasn't shown last weekend.

I haven't been really watching them the past few weeks.
Just listening and notating who did what when while doing something else.

I did look up for a moment when that Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr. intro seemed to go on forever.
Wasn't sure if they were going to perform or what.

Overall it was a good episode IMO, just for the fact that Lakeside performed and they played a Philly (my hometown born and raised) classic this week by Jerry Butler made it good enough for me.

BTW I noticed the girl with the almost off skirt, that shit was funny. It also seemed like Cheryl(the asain dancer) and her dance partner were a little buzzed during some of the songs.

I still thought the dancefloor looked a little thin. lakeside was great. marylin and billy (who went oops when he dropped his mic on the floor by accident )
talked about their songs were like two minutes back in the day and the intro to the song they sang was like two minutes with 30 seconds of singing and another two minutes of music. It was a cool single but that was the longest that I have ever seen soul train let a song go on like that performance wise or just a dance song.


I love lakeside doing fantastic voyage live. Shalamar had a different lead singer for take that to the bank.

other than that, the show was okay.


oops someone already mentioned the mic part. that was the second blooper since they showed a guy on a past show who looked like his pants were ripped when he went down the soul train line.

It was great to see Lakeside on TV again. Their performance was great.

I had never heard that disco song by Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. but I liked it. I even liked the long intro....that was the disco era for you.....songs were extended with plenty of music for ass shakin'.

I also had never heard "Contact" by Edwin Starr and I absolutely loved that one. I'm gonna have to find that jam.

I'd love to see Foxy but I think they only did "American Bandstand". They were hot during that period though.....prancing around and slinging that Prince hair.

you had never heard "Contact" by Edwin Starr?? That was a huge disco jam back then! If you like that song,you'd probably like his other big disco hit from that era "H.A.P.P.Y Radio" Both of these songs are fast!

Some of those ladies were getting off coming down the line. I know what you mean though about the women dancers compared to the men. I love the way the ladies on that show danced in the 1970s and around 1980 and 1981. However, around 1982, Don started putting those stiff bitches on the show that couldn't dance and all they wanted to do was pose coming down the line.

I love "H.A.P.P.Y. Radio". However, I had never heard it back when it was popular. Apparently, the stations down here must have not played Edwin Starr during that era. I never heard it until I bought a disco compilation years later.

On the June 3 Episode of "Best Of Soul Train" they will show the Minnie Riperton Tribute show that aired October 6, 1979

that's cool


do you know who will be on this week's episode (May 26)?

SoulAlive said:

Gloria Gaynor and Gino Vanelli are on this week

Abdul said:

june third is gonna be wonderful. I want my daughter to see that one. the one for this week will be interesting. I am still waiting for them to just SHOCK THE HELL OUT OF ME! I want to see an episode with like one way or barkays on it and the dancefloor is crowded. and the folks did more than just ballet danced.

I hope they dust off the Jacksons special. I would love to see the Destiny performances.

Oh hell! On all the tribute episodes I have ever seen, they play nothing but songs by that particular artist. Hell, the only thing I remember from Minnie is "Loving You" and "Memory Lane". You can't do a whole show on just those two. I'm thinking there's going to be a lot of slow stuff for the dancers throughout the whole show.

This sounds very disappointing.

Hell yeah! I'd like to see One Way and I am dying to see The Barkays.

chewwsey said:

LMAO at the ballet dancing comment, you do see alot of ballet steps on some of these old episodes.

Abdul said:

I know Gloria's gonna sing "I Will Survive" but I hope that her second song is "Anybody Wanna Party" that song is STILL a jam!!

Gino will sing "I Just Wanna Stop" I predict his second song will be an uptempo one....maybe "The River Must Flow"?

BOOOOOTSSAAAAYYYY!!!!
