ONE OF THE BEST EPISODES EVER!!!!!

I was really impressed.EVERY song they played was good.I swear,1983 was one of the greatest years ever.

Angela Bofill

That show was off the hook today!

Angela looks so beautiful.

It's a shame that she suffered two strokes.

Was loving the fact that Don played Marvin's "Joy". I was singing along too.

It was one of the best shows. Angela sung my favorite song by her.

"Too Tough" or "Tonight I Give In"?

SoulAlive said:

Ilove them both but i was talking about Tonight I Give In.

Lothan said:

I love that song too

The chick in the blue was smoking. Oh yeah, cool episode.

It was a great show. Ms. Bofill's voice was great. I saw her and Peabo Byrson in concert in 1982 or 1983. They were great together.

Back in the early 80's , she would tour with Peabo quite often. Those were excellent shows.

I haven't seen this yet. It's coming on at 2AM where I am.

Maybe it is just me, but I really look forward to the Best of Soul Train episodes. My wife does not understand it. She knows not to bother me when it comes on. I guess I love walking down memory lane.

I also look forward to the "Best Of" shows. Reminds me of where we came from. Got to have an important part of black history in my TV all Saturdays!

That's why I hope the "new" Soul Train episodes are a rumor...

Timmy84 said:

I do not think the new shows are a rumor. I loved the music, fashion, and babes of the "Best Of" shows. Also, Louie was doing his thing which kept me laughing.

Good Episode, Angela & Confunkshun are two of my favorites from back then. This episode was from early '83 right?

Did you catch the chick with the pink hotpants on, she was smoking to

There were quite a few people doing the "Carlton" on that episode...

I have firnally seen it and, man, was it different back then. I was actually with some friends when we were watching this. And they're apart of the Hip-Hop generation so we were all laughing at them. Especially that one brother with the khaki suit on. They're like "Isn't that your uncle"?.

But it was great to hear the classic tunes from O'Bryan, George Clinton, and our little purple hero.

This episode was OK but most of the songs played on this particular episode were extremely popular songs that have been played over and over throughout the years. My favorite episodes are ones that have a song that hasn't been played for years in it.

you know, i dated a guy that looked like Vincent...his name was Zach...the love of my life.

Abdul said:

Hell yessums!!

Abdul said:

This episode originally aired on May 28,1983.I have a feeling that it was probably taped several weeks before that.Many of these songs were popular in the early part of '83.By late spring,songs like "Atomic Dog" were old news.

I hadn't heard Al Jarreau's "Boogie Down" in ages!

SoulAlive said:

Don would've played it in the beginning months of 1983 if it hadn't been for his brain surgery that year. As soon as he came back, the new theme song was added to "Soul Train".

Timmy84 said:

That's correct.The Vanity 6/Carl Carlton episode is the last episode they taped before Don had brain surgery.For several weeks,they were forced to show re-runs.That's why many episodes from the late spring of '83 featured songs/artists that were popular several months earlier.

Timmy84 said:

Yeah,I pray that the "new" episodes are just a rumor.They should just continue to show the re-runs.I won't watch any new episodes.

this week's episode rocked! i hope they stay on this path. the early 80's were a great time for music & fashion.

can i just tell you in love that dance so much. i do it all the time!

Of course back them on the Train, the dancers would coordinate their outfits and have some folks design them.
