I missed this episode Was out shopping at the mall

I turned on the TV and there was a damn ball game on. I might catch it tonight on the local channel if I get off work in time.

This will be on @ 03:30 a.m. Sunday morning here in Chicago...

Interesting episode, Minnie was so talented. I'd never heard that I'm A Woman song, it was kinda funky. Stevie's medley was cool also

I thought it was a cool episode, even though there wasn't a Soul Train line. Yeah, Stevie's medley was cool.

Any news on next weeks episode.

We get Chic and High Energy next week, SoulAlive said it's an episode from the 1979-1980 Season. It should be great!

My eyes watered during Stevie's medley, it was beautiful. I hope today's "singers" take note on what a talent Minnie was.

And I felt asleep...

I knew I should've taped it

What year was this? I know Minnie was performing right up to her death.

i thought this episode was depressing. i'm looking forward to a more upbeat episode soon. damn it when will they get to the 80's already!

I got home Saturday night and there was a telethon on the local channel that "Soul Train" comes on. I caught the episode early this morning at 3:30 a.m. on WGN. Once again, if a ball game comes on, take that damn "American Idol" bullshit off the air, NOT "Soul Train".

Suprisingly, I enjoyed the episode. There were a lot of Minnie Riperton songs played that I had never heard of before.

Now.....get back to the ass-shakin' episodes.

I think the upcoming episode will feature Chic performing "Rebels Are We". If so, that one is from 1980 and should be great.

That WGN ball game messed it up for me too, I really wanted to see this episode. It didn't come on my local channel either, I set up my timer to record it when it's supposed to come on in the early am, I go to try to watch the tape and I found myself watching Ferris Bueller.

I agree. this should be a good one. I am ready to jam. Looking at the play list for last weekend's episode I am surprised that minnie ripperton didn't sing inside my love. still sounds like it was a great show.

That episode originally aired on October 6,1979.Minnie passed away in July of that year

Abdul said:

Yes,the Chic/High Inergy episode originally aired on March 1,1980 so it should be a cool show

chewwsey said:

this week's episode originally aired in March 1980,so here are some songs that we might hear:

"Rock With You" or "Off The Wall" by Michael Jackson
"The Second Time Around" by Shalamar
"Out The Box" by the Whispers
"Working My Way Back To You/Forgive Me Girl" by the Spinners
"Too Hot" or "Hangin Out" by Kool and The Gang
"Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad" by Prince

it was early in the year,the best stuff was still yet to come but those are some great songs

Is there a schedule out? I am looking for the eposode with Switch on it or haveb I missed it already?

daingermouz2020 said:

No,they haven't aired any of the episodes with Switch yet.These are the episodes you are looking for....

***SWITCH/THE MCCRARYS (originally aired on Dec.23,1978)
***SWITCH/BONNIE POINTER (originally aired on Oct.27,1979)


hopefully,we'll get to see these in the future

I just checked the TV Guide website and here are the details:



I was wrong about "Rebels Are We". That song came out in the fall of 1980 and this episode aired in March. I'm sure a lot of jams from late 1979 will be played during the episode.

The week after that will be:



This should be a good one also. "Got To Be Enough" is my favorite Con-funk-shun song.

Don is bringing on the good groups now. Brick, Lakeside, and now Con-funk-shun. Don, I'm still waiting for The Barkays.

Or maybe:

Working Day and Night - Michael Jackson
Love Gun - Rick James
Peanut Butter - Twennynine
Backstrokin' - Fatback
Sexy Dancer - Prince
Firecracker - Mass Production
Sure Shot - Crowne Heights Affair
And The Beat Goes On - The Whispers
Stomp - The Brothers Johnson
Push Push - Brick
Let Me Entertain You - The Controllers
Pull My Strings - Lakeside
Right Dead In The Socket - Shalamar
Oops Upside Your Head - The Gap Band
Heaven Must Have Sent You - Bonnie Pointer
Sunset People - Donna Summer
Power - The Temptations

the Spinners and Con Funk Shun,huh? Looks like they're going to the early 80s and staying there for awhile.That's fine with me

This episode nearly brought a tear to my eye.

Minnie was a true class act

awwww that does sound good!

SoulAlive said:

I will have a cow if they show the episode with switch and the mccrary's. I am anxious to see that one

hell yeah! my fav confunkshun song is got to be enough also.

Apparently, Don Cornelius is reading our posts. Many times when I want to see what the upcoming episodes will be, I will go to either Yahoo or Google and search for "Best of Soul Train". In the search results, our threads here on the org will come up. If Don wants to see how people are reacting to the shows, he probably searches the internet the same way.

Anway, hi Don! Thank you so much for showing the old episodes and keep up the good work. Whenever they show the last old episode before they start the new season, I am going to start an appreciation thread for Don Cornelius for showing the old episodes and also for The Audience for doing such exceptional threads after each episode. When that day comes, the mods need to make that thread a sticky.
