I saw that part also. No, I wasn't aware of a UK version. I'm from Mississippi, the furthest I've ever been is Texas. Being stuck here on "Gilligan's Island" (once you're here, you're stuck), we don't make enough money to travel very far here in the states, let alone overseas.

hello vainandy glad you are back into the swing of things after all that has happened to ya!

I remember taping both times back in the day when five star was on the show. if they take it up to like 86 or 87, I want to see the episode with public enemy. but this show was good. I have been taping a lot of them. but have missed some good ones as well. glad you orgers are keeping the soul train aboard because It is almost time for it to jump tracks and come back up to date I believe.

Thank you. I'm feeling a little better. I've started raising hell again back in full force. That's always a good sign, since I love to raise hell.



Abdul just posted the guests for the next two weeks and they are still old episodes. Everyone thought the new episodes were coming back in September. Well, September will be almost over by then. That's a good sign. Maybe they will continue on with the old ones.

You're very welcome. Welcome back. I hope your trip went well.

I hope they continue showing the old episodes, too.

BOOOOOTTSAAAAAYYY!!!!!

this was a kick ass episode!! loved it! five start were mad tight with thosemoves. i' love to now who their choreographer was. sheila e. killed it too. man i am digging the 80's episodes. keep em coming!

I refuse to watch "Soul Train" unless they go back to the '70s, Don, stop tripping now...

Anything's better than watching any episodes with that guy from "Charmed" as the host. What in the hell was Don thinking

Co-sign. Bad move.

I'm getting sick of these "pop" episodes myself. When those late 80s originally aired, I had stopped watching the show nearly as much as I used to.

Take it back to the 70s or early 80s.

I hear ya! The best episodes are the ones from the 70s.That's when Soul Train was at it's highest point.Back then,we didn't have BET or MTV,so you had to watch Soul Train in order to see your favorite R&B artists.

I'd like to see some late-70s episodes with artists like Brothers Johnson,Natalie Cole,Ray Parker Jr. and Raydio,Bootsy Collins,Sun,etc.That's my favorite era for music.

There are so many shows that I saw when they originally aired, that I wish they would show again. Shalamar doing "The Second Time Around" and "Right Dead In The Socket". The Village People, where Don asked the Indian if he would like to do the Soul Train Scramble Board. The tribute episodes for The Jacksons and Rick James. Skyy doing "Call Me" and pulling out the telephones. Anything from The Barkays. As much as I love The Barkays, the only thing I have from them on video is from the "Wattstax" DVD. I want some more of their performances.

Damn, talk about luck. Glad to hear it.

I hope they stick to the old shows too. I want more bands though.

no way! wow she did a great job. i'm really impressed!

That's exactly what I want. That's why they need to come out of the late 80s and go back further. Bands were becoming a dying breed in the late 80s.

LOVED this episode. Both Sheila and Five Star were fantastic. For me those days still seems like yesterday.

***The Brothers Johnson performing "Strawberry Letter #23" on a 1977 or '78 episode.

***Rose Royce doing "Car Wash" and "I Wanna Get Next To You" on a 1977 episode

***The Three Degrees singing "When Will I See You Again" on a 1974 episode

***A Diana Ross tribute episode that aired in 1981 or 82.It was around the time when her song "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" was released.She did a question-and-answer session with the audience.

vainandy said:

yes, and there were a few bands still into around 1984. but there was so much going on in the late seventies to early eighties--war, one way, midnight star, even some one-hit bands. I mean, they are skirting this whole soul train thing aroumd. and I kknow they always recorded four shows per weekend so even though the shows repeat the dance songs a lot, the groups are different. I want to see a couple of episodes with the rappers on them. so I would go to like 84-86.

BUT PLEASE GIVE US THE FUNKY BANDS DON!!!

oh, and vain you are welcome
